New Discoveries

Discovered something about a customer today when stumbled upon her blog. She is a lesbian. I am ok about it but it kinda caught me by surprise.

Yesterday found out that a 17 years old customer who has been smoking since she was 12!!~ She likes Shou fm A9 very much. The sms goes like this:

"Shou wants healthy fans, not fans with yellow teeth and bad breathe".

"but all my friends are smokers, i find it hard to resist when they smoke".

"come on, when you light a cigarette, just think that Shou will scold you, then u wont smoke"

"ok, i try"

On New year;s eve, there's a Foam party near my block (we had the same thing last year too). But then, Foam parties at neighbourhoods? Wasting of resources only,,this is not vivo city, zouk or sentosa,,,this is Jurong lah!!~ Aunties, Bangladesh and Chinese citizens,,,im sure they are puzzled by this Foam party thingy!!~ They must be thinking "wah, can play foams in public meh??"

Ajahn Bramh;s talk on the 3oth Dec was great..there were soo many ppl tat it filled the 3 levels of the temple (the talk was on the 2nd level). I only managed to see him from the projector at level 1 coz it was full house by the time i was there. The lesson he gave was : Gratitute. When one is filled with Gratitude, he/she is at peace with himself/herself. Yes, it is so true. It is only with Gratitute, we are grateful for what we have instead of wat we dont have,,like tat, can be peace with ourselves...

The pricey gaze sweater was sold barely 5hrs after put up,,,the power of Euro$$,,.XD. They are super crazy over gaze. One customer fm Uk just came back from the Jrock -Invasion feat A9 etc on the 29th dec and oh my, she was 4th row from the stage!~ She could see her fav A9 and Kra soooo close up!!~ *envious!* Now she;s waiting eagerly for her gaze calendar. One Aussie customer receives her copy today!~~ Saw Miyavi;s calendar online today,it was sooooooo COOL!~

Had communication problems with Italian gal. I dont understand her English coz she mixed it with Italian lately...hmm ..dunno why.. had to ask her what she actually meant coz dont want to screw up her orders. perhaps, shall reply her with a mixture of japanese, english and chinese in future..and she will ask me what i meant,,lolz

Yday read an article written by a local citizen in Chinese newspaper. He/She complained about a packet of wonton skin (300g). The usual price is $1.3o. After the GST increased to 7%, and the price went to $1.50. Due to the cost of fuel increase, it went up again to S$1.70. Finally, due to inflation (dunno is exploitation or not), it settles at $1.90. So, this Uncle or Auntie is very unhappy and ask the authorities to check this supermarket,,the famous Sheng S**** supermarket. He/She wonder why this 300g of wonton skin (with estimated 200g of flour) went up 33% within a year.,Reminds me of my dog's biscuit,,it went up by this much too,,sigh... unsculpulous merchant.

I find that SS;s prices are getting higher coz their tactic for biz when they first launched is to sell it super cheap (the owner paid the supplier in cash, so they get their goods real cheap) to gain word of mouth and loyalty (ppl will have perception that they are the cheapest and it takes time to change it,esp for older folks). Gradually, prices are marked up (not forgetting they on TV these days! So, high expenditure). So, pls be careful when u shop around for groceries, let is be SS or Ntuc etc. Btw, toiletries products like shampoos, detergents are the most expensive at supermarkets (read this report somewhere),,so, avoid it.. Dont be caught in the "inflation" tactic like this wonton skin Uncle/Auntie.
