The mother will pay

The Mother:

and when are they gonna come?Visual Shoxx wrote:
We will only close the case after we receive the full amount by Western Union. This amount is too big for us , just like it is to you.

VS:

Your daughter can sell them online at jrock forums to earn back the money to pay you for her debts. She can price them any price but not us. We pay so expensive for all the items and it is brand new when we sold them. We cant let the price slide.

We cannot accept paypal from your account anymore as we are concerned that the same thing happen again.

We will close the case once we receives the full payment by Western Union. We will keep our promise.

We understand it is not your fault and you will do your best to handle this case.

We are already being very kind. We hope you can understand.

The Mother :

can't you do this just this time..
i am truley sorry for all of this again.
so i just need to pay that amount you say?
so much money? but will try to reach taht amount?
can i just sent to you through pay pal instead if i do pay?
if i were you i would take back the items and just let it slide even though its lots of money..
srry but i am begging you again close the case please and will pay that amount then as soon as i can.(if you close the case)


The mother is scared of the police now..

They are either American Koreans or American Japanese, tat's why their English is not fluent. Since "the mother" say she will pay, will see wat happens. She didnt realised the total amount has balloned coz all comes in small chunks like S$100+, S$200+. S$50 etc.. she said in the past emails "they are not made by me, of coz i dispute it". Tat's why had to say "There is no smoke without fire". Still, dunno she understand anot coz it might be too difficult for her to deduce.

Hey Xuann, are you Samantha? Yah, not sure if it is one person behind all these? And not sure why the daughter is away now and going away soon?! All like so drama...

Oh, didnt know ebay changes their policy..thanks for informing Christine. It is always the sellers at risk. We must be more careful now. You are so right, who will throw away their PS company goods??~ We have been like going around in circles because of this saga. The mother's replies always made us fumes coz it is non-constructive and only defends her daughter with all her "I dont knows". Are you feeling better now? Yes, the upcoming week will be a better one for you.

It is also maddening that she didnt do anything when she receives those Paypal receipts. Wonder if she experienced the same issue, meaning her girl sprees at somewhere and she repeats this same cycle of denying all payments and tell the sellers this same old story like what she did to us?

Glad Shivon had received the earrings on time ^^ The timing was great. USA post always takes very long..more than 10days on average. Europe takes 3 days on some days but not more than 6days. Sorry to hear about Caiko's gift seller. Perhaps she really forgotten about it.. :(

Yesterday 2 customers asked if we can do japan auction for them. hmm,, will explore this option. It seems like a hassle thingy though but we think alot of people are interested in japan auctions. Will check with our agent in japan.

The results for the 3rd X japan show will be out this coming Tue. It is an exciting moment and i will wait patiently for my fren's email. I hope Not to get "i was defeated" in the mail. T.T

Had checked out that some guest house in Japan where you can rent bed or room (dormintory). It is quite cheap, less than SGD$1000 per month, but must book at least 1 month or more. Hmm..think shall try to book one month, den go there do shopping service for customers and earn some living expenses? Dunno also, coz im not sure which ATM can draw Yen using foreign Plus Card/Cirrus card. Scully cannot..den ppl pay me at posb but i cant draw it there.. T.T

If can draw Yen using our atm cards, den can provide this service liao...if the response is good..then will consider uproot and move our base there?! Afterall, it is better and faster coz dun need to wait for the items to come to Singapore and pay the shipping fees. Moreover, 80% of our customers are foreigners. Shipping from Japan to International is cheaper than shipping from Singapore. It is because of Singpost charges 20% fuel surcharge on the postage for all outbound packages. Crazy rite? That's why, alot of foreigners dread ordering magazines from us. I feel for them too. Also, can buy tour goods and ship immediately,,dun need to wait for soooooo long or for PS Online shop to list them...something new and different way of life for me. it is doing wat i love and loving wat i do.

Vonnie, you can join me there after you graduate. Then u can shop for customers. Perfect job for u rite? I think you would be very happy..see ur babies concert and shopping too. XD Thanks for your kind thoughts of hoping i get the X tickets :). Why u want to open mee siam stall? u like mee siam? I love laksa..lolz..but F & B line very hardship de... but this line wun die if ur food is good. Like the nasi lemak stall opp my house, the owners now own the stall, a banglow and 3 other branches islandwide. Happening rite? Once i read another local satay seller. He's so successful tat he owns banglows too..

Your theme of cafe will be very successful in Japan. The Japanese can take literally any "shit" you throw to them. No joke when i say "shit". Any Indies bands tat debut there can make it (they have their own followers). They accepts creative ideas readily and loves casual living. Their spending power also makes them know how to enjoy life and pay top dollars for almost anything. I want to go there sell sugar cane juice, coz i like sugar cane juice and i din see anyone seller there yet. Maybe you can open a mee siam stall there, then i sell sugar cane in ur stall..

Think in life, it is more about fulfilment and servicing other people. It would be even better if it is your passion. Got a friend who works in Hewlet Packard Singapore for 3 years in middle management. She draws more than S$5k per mth. After the 3rd yr, she quit the job and work in a tattoo shop as a tattoo artiste drawing S$2.5k, have to work retail hours (long and no weekend offs). Everytime i walk pass her shop, she glows with happiness. She said she invested alot during her HP job, so she is depending on her investments for retirements etc. She has created a life she wants to lead and is very happy about it. She's darn cool. She also tattoos both her arms without being bothered by wat ppl will say about her. When young, it is better to plan how to create a life you want to lead..not wait till "after i retire".

Once i saw a man (maybe 60years old?) on the train. He was reading this book "How to lead a satisfying life" something like tat. I was thinking "was he not happy with how he lived his life so far. But it is like half century had passed by for him. Did he regret the way his life is spent?". All these questions pop out in my mind. I dont want to end up like him, so scary. I want to be like my tattoo friend. She is an extra ordinary example that im trying to model.

smart move ;). ah, western union is really scary to pay by. i forget why, but you guys are trustworthy so it is okay.

umm i'm not feeling much better, but my brother says that i do not look very sick. i took some medicine, and hopefully i will get better soon! good thing on monday i only have one class.

"Yes, the upcoming week will be a better one for you."
i'm taking your word for it ^-^!

yes, i think caiko should get hers around wednesday. she keeps saying that it can be her b-day present, but of course not! her next b-day is a big one so of course i will buy her something else too!

ahhhh japan auction. it seems like it would be very profitable, but i do not think you would be making the profit..? your contact in japan would. so far, the cheapest place i have found charges 10% commission fee, but that is only b/c they were new and trying to get customers. most places charge between 20-30% because ppl need to make money.

oooooh japan for a month! sounds soo interesting :D! there is a girl on LJ who is charging to buy live merch and such on her trip. she is going to make a LOT of profit. she is charging ppl who buy for her show ticket + the item. this is fine and all, but let's say there are 10 ppl who want items for the ONE show, she will have all this extra money X"D.

"That's why, alot of foreigners dread ordering magazines from us."
this is true x_X. wah, it would be really cool if you uprooted to japan. it's my american dream X"D. *cries* i want to run away to Japan too!!!!! but...maybe it is not soo wonderful. one of my friend's friends who is a translator did that. she hopped on a plane to Japan after JRR to follow her dreams...................and did nothing but end up broke, doing under the table jobs, living in strange places, etc. in the end she had to come back here b/c her visa expired.

your blogs are always soo inspiring for me, and sometimes deal with things i think about. i still have no idea what i want to do in the future. i just want to make a very powerful man happy :X.

aww you have ppl to look up to too? i like hearing about the things that inspire you! in another month or so, i will be 19. i don't think i have wasted too much of my life yet...

p.s.: my laptop went on hibernate as it almost finished a 2 hour long upload..........which was rather upsetting. i am trying to upload it on my school server which is slow as a snail.

worst still, i just locked my car key, my dorm key, my school ID which i use to get food, and my dorm room ID which they check every time you enter the building in my car b/c my window my weird and i had to fix it. freshmen park off-campus. *sigh* lucky for me, my school is about 40 minutes away. my parents say they will bring up my spare car key tomorrow night. i am just very thankful that today i left my wallet and my driver's license in my jacket pocket.

this week is not starting off very well chwa :(.

Oh my god lah, you're running away to Japan?! Haha, I have to admit that's rather cool though. But...my Jap teacher says that cost of living there in the city is really high, especially when it comes to food.

It's good that the mum finally agreed to pay...although if she doesn't pay after some time...I think she'd be hoping that you've forgotten about it all though. Must run after her with a chopper first, just in case. *is trigger happy* =)

The girl with the tattoos is really kinda inspiring. But that's because her dream of being a tattoo artist, is not one which is highly dependent on the age isn't it? I mean, if she wanted to be a model or something...I doubt it'd work. She's really smart though. I heard investments are the way to earn money fast.

Ano...and this isn't Samantha...I always forget to type my name. ^^;;
