Lost mails

Didnt receive Maki's mail as he said he emailed on Thu nite. I think the VS mailbox got something wrong. Then, i realised, there were 10200 mails in the inbox, excl. those outgoing mails which has been saved. So, last night fanatically deleated those super old mails.still got 5000 to delete. Think this is the problem. That is why i can use the Search system..too "heavy" to search among the mails? Ive emptied all the trash and bulk folder. continuing deleating the inbox. Think there are other mails tat i didnt receive..sigh..

Received a mail from a local boy today. He asked "im a big fan of vkei. do u have any a9 or gaze tees? I am interested to purchase. If yes, can u gimme a nice prices?" (tot to reply "sorry, their tees have Ugly prices"). Singaporeans love to ask such qns. Another gal once asked " do you have this gaze muffler? if yes, i am willing to pay up to S$60 for it". Aiyoh,,S$60 is not even enuff to buy the item itself.. they are newbies.... but the most funny mail is from a Singaporean (she is not even a customer) " hey, where did get all ur stuffs? I went to Japan but i couldnt find any." Replied "We got it from all over Japan". Only Singaporean will ask such kuku questions.

LP finally does her homework last night. She went to Chinatown to source for the air tickets with her sister. She found one agency selling for only S$800 (so cheap!), inclusive of tax n fuel surcharge too. She told them she need to make visa but the uncle (the ticketing agent) said "we dont make visas for customers, they have to make it themselves at respective embassies BUT for you special, i will bring you there to make. This service is for you only". Guess what, she is very happy that the uncle will bring her to make the visa!~ I was like HUH?! Cant she go make it herself? She scared kena lost in Singapore or wat?! Then i told her "scully the uncle charge u for his service?". She said "no, it is free. The uncle said for me only". Wonder if she is naive or wat?

In her mind, she is more than happy that someone is always there for her to lean on..no matter who these people are. If for me, i would be skeptical of the uncle's motive. Think she will go with the uncle to apply the visa on Monday. I didnt ask her if she is going with him. If she said yes, i will be pissed. Afterall, it is her choice.

LP: the uncle asked us to pay S$300 deposit if we want to purchase the air ticket. After that, when the ticket is ready, we pay the rest when we collect. AND i cannot buy the ticket now coz not sure if my visa will be approved. It takes 3 days to approve, so Monday i am going to apply"

Me: Ok, tell the uncle there is no need to pay for the deposit. We will pay full when we collect the tickets. Coz if your visa is not approved, then we have to waste time to go to Chinatown to take back the deposit. Also, when your visa is approved and his air tickets are sold out, we just go to other agencies to buy. Why the hassle of deposit?

LP: Oh, yah hor.

Me: Tell the uncle if he cant reserve the tickets, it is ok. After your visa is approved, we can always buy it elsewhere. Den you see if he really want ur biz.

LP: Oh,,ok. The uncle also say, when we go there, we might kena interview by the customs. They may think we are illegal immigrants. He said we must have our hotel documents and concert tickets to prove we are there for a holiday.

Me: Pls lah, we have a valid passport and we are Asians (not the highly suspected group). Their interview is random lah..if kena also like tat. Just answer their questions only wat. Why so scared?? So far my 3 times also never kena any interviews. I even passed their custom carrying food which is not allowed. Also, pls tell the uncle to make sure his air ticket is valid (coz it is unusually cheap. Think it is because it expires in June), if not, we will come back and ask for full refund).

Both of them sounds soooo sua ku rite? Super Buay tahan. I wonder why LP didnt realised that such interviews are random? I mean, she travel to CHina and HK before..arent it the same system? When the uncle told her the interview, she panics.

Btw, just remembered that Japan now uses auto custom clearance. It is a self service machine and after the process is cleared, the gates will open for exit. LP will sure die of panic and say "you help me leh,,i dunno how to do". Zzzzz zzz. I also dunno what, just read the instructions and follow lah! Everything also sooo scare..buay tahan. Even applying for her visa in Singapore also scared. Darn Jia lat siar!~

Oh yes, will tell her to ask the uncle how to use the automatic custom clearace booth at the japan custom..lolz..since she is so kia si..XD

If only i could tell her "if so scared to kena the interview, then pls dont go". If more bad, will say "Singaporeans seldom get such interviews, not sure about Malaysians though" ( i am bad again)

She said the uncle will call her today (dunno for wat) and she will tell him about the deposit. I told her if confirm have tickets, after her visa is approved, we go and buy together.

She belongs to the type that must follow instructions. If no instructions, she will be lost....Like that, very diff to have a mind of her own coz everytime only looking for instructions. If without, she will be handicap. So scary to have such mindset.

SY, dont be pek chek after you read this post. If not, wait you have noisy dreams again. =)

Hellos ~ I went to ask my sisters right, and they said it's actually very common for agencies to make the price of their air tickets lower when it's close to the expiry date. Also, they said actually it's the supposed "correct" procedure to give the deposit, otherwise the agency might not confirm the seat for you, then you can't do anything already and it might be too late.

Don't worry, am not pek chek. Too tired to be pek chek already, haha. Don't worry lah, it's good that she started doing homework, maybe things will go better from here! Think positive na no da ~

ahhhh my inbox was full like that once, and then i went back and deleted about a year's worth of mail. ever since i started college i have been checking my mail daily now instead of weekly/monthly like before X"D.

lol!! yeaaaaa, band merch is expensive like whoa! a new european boy that i am friend's with, he is working and saving up a WHOLE MONTH just to buy a signed ummm cd pamphlet/poster thing from girugamesh. to me, it has no meaning if they did not autograph it for you in front of you. LOL @ that customer!

yea, there are a lot of places that offer discounts for trips to japan and such. ah, i dont know what to do. versailles just announced that they will be stopping in cali before they leave the u.s. after their texas con. there is an airplane ticket for only $190 round trip to cali right now on a really crappy airline, but it will not let me change dates or anything and i do not know when Jrock Rev II is happening so i still cannot buy my ticket T_T. i am really happy though b/c i like kamijo soo much! he is #3 on my jrock list.

i am the type who relies on my partner all the time. please take more pity on your friend even though she frustrates you soo much. i do not think she is this way on purpose. some of us just aren't built for managing things.

btw, all the X tickets are sold out soo i am very happy that you got some!
