Homemade Chocolates anyone?

Helping a customer's gf promote homemade chocolates.
http://choco-mylove.blogspot.com/

He smsed me last nite asking "Do you like chocolates? What kind of flavour do you like?" So, i just replied "oh, there is no need for you to give me any chocolates" (he just bought some clothes from us yday). It turned out, he was trying to sell his gf's chocolate to me!~ XD It was a beautiful mis-understanding. :)

Young people today are really have entrepreneur spirits, esp in the fashion line. It is very common and fashionable to do Sprees together!~

Remembered in 2006, there was a 13 year old girl who bought an A9 handphone strap from us. She said she has been doing meet ups regularly. Wow, so young and going around doing meet ups? I kinda worry for her,,lolz. She convinced me it was a regular activity for her and her friends.

She is the most honest customer we had ever met. Once we charged her S$100 less and a few days later when she collects her items, she said "hey, tat day i gave u S$100 short, so i will pay for it today". Wow,,i didnt realised it was S$100 undercharged! She said "when i went home after paying you the money that day, i found S$100 more in my pocket. I must have forgotten to put it into the envelope. Im so sorry about this". Now, this Honesty cost more than S$100, isnt it? Im truly impressed by this 14yo girl! Not to mentioned, she always saves hard for the things she wants to buy. She can jolly well use the S$100 to buy other stuffs instead of returning it back to us. Made me feel embarassed coz i didnt realised the undercharging. Upz to you Jasmine!

Hey Christine, dont feel unmotivated!~ It's a good try in the first practise for the Chemistry experiment.

Ive also been a bit off lately. Think my mind went to outer space. i realised im enjoyed doing selling rather than all the paperwork and keeping track of the stocks..XD

Today is the release of Guren. It's a happie day for all gaze fans!~

Miyavi and A9 fans has received their FC cards!~ PS company sent by EMS! That;s really good, just in case these precious things get lost in the mail. Wonder when Gaze fans wld be able to receive theirs? *vonnie is anxious*

Blunders

Blunder 1: wrote the X-Japan's additional concert date wrongly. It shld be 3/29 and Not 3/28..too hyper about the 3rd show!~~ Thanks to Vonnie for informing,,had corrected my stupid mistake.

Blunder 2: just sent mailing list using my personal email. silly rite? coz had just replied a friend using my personal email account,,den suddenly realised havent sent out mailing list,,and went on typing and forget to log out and log on to the VS email account..sigh,,Im getting old or wat??

X-Japan added show!! 3/29!~

in Kaori-san just emailed to notify that X will be adding another show on 3/29~ So, it will be 3 nights in a row!~ OMG!~~~@_@". It will go on sale on 2/24. This time, it is call in, so will know immediate results!~ *gets hyper again!* My J friends will be busy for another round and im going to get nervous again,,, *looks into my poor pocket*

http://www.xjapan.ne.jp/info/info7.html

Must faster settle the 3/28 and 3/30 tickets...

Thanks so much to Caiko, Christine and Vonnie for notifying about the Jrock Revolution selling the X-Japan tickets via lottery system. That night after receiving the JRR email, i went to update my blog,,but then,,,while changing colours for the fonts..it went blank coz i shift cursor upwards too fast. The whole page went black and IT WAS SAVED!! Means,,the blank page was being saved!~ So pissed and went offline after replying Caiko.

Btw, Mousy year was a term used by one of our French customer who wanted to ordered some stuffs on the 1st day of Chinese New Year and at the end of her email, she said "Opps, you guys are celebrating the Mousy Year, so im not sure if your store is opened" So cute, she is,,lolz...Perhaps she is a fan of Mickey Mouse..

Happy Mousy Year!!~

After slacking for the past few days, must buck up and update my blog. Been a little senile,,lolz...

wah, vonnie, ur new layout is soo cool!~ got music somemore,,hehehe. Got new tenants arriving next week also,,Neo and Arena,,weezzzz. For the rings, everyone receives it the same time, Maki is no exception. So, no worries!~~ im surprise to see Brilliant Green on ur playlist. They are good!

yday was randomly browsing for X-Japan and saw a forum which a local girl (she's our customer btw) puts up some X items VS is selling. One item she put up was a 1993 X-Japan concert entry pass, which she wrote "this pass entitles you to enter all X-Japan concerts"..Then another forumer corrects her by saying "no, the pass states 1993". o___O". Think she has a long way to go before she can proclaims herself as an X fan. She has made such an embarrasing mistake! If it was true, i dont need to headache over the X tickets! XD

For the X tickets, we are left on our own coz Kaori-san replied a few days ago saying both hide and pata's mobile balloting won her nothing. *_*".

Another J-friend suggested we stay at these budget locations if we are going to Japan. End March - April is Sakura season, thus budget hotels might be filled up very soon. T.T

Day 1 of CNY, 5 families of "distant families" (we see them once a year only) came to our house. Total was about 20ppl. My nieces came to my room and request to see the accessories we are selling. In the end, they bought 4 items, all rings..lolz,,gave them some discounts too. They are soo thrilled to see those accessories XD. Time flies and my nieces are all Sec 3 and up.

Day 2 of CNY, 1 distant family came and they had lunch with us. After that, went to my uncle's house for CNY visitings.

To me, CNY is nothing more than a festival that is waiting to passby, whether you are going to enjoy it anot. It is a normal day for me except, lots of goodies/junks to eat. The thing that is most lack is decent meals coz i ate too much junks, so no room for decent meals. Yday felt sinful, so ate one apple before i left the house, and ate another after i came back. Else,,im going to get obese in no time!!~

So true,, our future depends on the choices we made today. Just Do It <(^.^)>. Life is like big piece of blank canvas and you have to add colours to it. What is your colour? Mine is White, red, yellow, pink and green coz i like bright colours. Bright colours brings vibrant and positive outlook in my life!~

X tickets

Still no news from Kaori-san. Hard to imagine we dont have the tickets. So, today, emailed another friend to bid for us. Have to try out luck to at auction.. We budget it at US$200 each now and see hw. US$400 is really exhorbitant for each nite!!~



Past Friday's early morning, was awoke at 5am coz my doggie was making too much noise. She was hungry,,so made cereal for her. Went to bed at 5.30am and stay awake till 7.30am. All thoughts are on the X-Japan concer tickets. I wonder after this time, when would be the next reunion? 10yrs later? (they would be soo old by then?!) Would there ever be one again? $$ spent can be earned..but didnt catch X reunion cant turn back the clock. T.T So, i concluded that $ spend on the tickets is worthwhile. Silly or whatever, but im creating a milestone in my life. Just like the Final Act i went for Luna Sea in 2000. :) I went because i dont want to regret for not going. Now, things are a little for X. First, i dont have any tickets and 2nd, i dont have free lodging coz my Japanese friend got married last year and moved out. I cant possible request to stay with her parents?! T.T This will be a "bankrupt" trip.



Oh yes, ive bought "The Secret" Extended version dvd from Ebay on Friday. Bought 3 copies coz the seller was selling it in a set of 3. One for Vonnie, one for my Sister-in-law and one for myself. Think will arrive next week or so.

Vonnie, dont feel depressed. Life has alot of crossroads and it is normal to feel empty. Anything you do, or choice you make, be sure to enjoy the journey and not regret the choice, even if it didnt turn out to be well. Just take it as a learning experience. In life, there are no mistakes, there are only learning experience :) Who doesnt make mistakes? The more mistakes you made, the faster you are on your way to success!!

Talking about mistakes, last Monday, a customer emailed to say she didnt receive her gaze calendar. It turned out that we missed out her order!!~ *Cold sweat*. The version with photo is no longer available, so we offer to give her full refund or the Regular edition (but refund her the balance $). This customer was very nice. She said "It is ok, will take the regular edition. There is no need for any refund". So, we asked our supplier to find her some nice Gaze stuffs like postcards, photos and include it in her calendar package. Her calendar will be sent tomorrow. See, we also make mistakes despite ppl says our service is good. They didnt see all the silly blunders we've made behind the scene. Luciky, there are still compassionate people around. Nothing beats being compassionate, kind and integrity.

Oh yes, during yday's meet up, a girl said there's someone taking pre-orders for gaze tour goods at sgcafe but i cant seem to find it. im too kuku for such search. Maki said he is too budget to buy coz there's a line-up of gaze mags waiting for him..hahaha. His Uruha's Gem cerey ring is coming at month end!~~ Vonnie,u may want to check it out..lolz..

Busy Sat!!~~

Dear Christine,

Had received ur email and noted about the Hangry + Angry earring for Voni. Will mail it to you shortly. Wow, it is great that many bands are visiting the USA!!~ Cool~ Im happy that you can meet Caiko and Voni real soon!!~ How was ur weekend so far?

No, the Vonnie ive mentioned is our local gaze fanatic Vonnie ^^

********************************************************************************

For the X-Japan tickets, i think didnt win coz my fren, Kaori havent replied me. Ive sent her an email last nite to enquire but she hasnt replied. Perhaps she is afraid i would be sad if i didnt win?! Japanese dont have a habit of breaking bad news...

My fren, LP said she dont mind paying up to US$400 for each nite for X concert..omg! Well, i wonder if yahoo auction can hit this range or more. Moreover, settling for one ticket is easy,,for another ticket, might be tough coz one shot have to bid for 2 tickets for each nites. If you win one ticket, the next ticket, irregardless of how much, u must win,,coz already there,,,cant possible oni watch one show?! I told her see hw lah,,after the another round (somewhere in feb) then see want to bid anot..she more die hard then me...lolz..


Has a busy day yday,,,was late 5mins for the meet ups. I dread to be late coz there will be soo many pairs of eyes looking at u,,then,,so many pairs of hands coming to u,,,lolz..Luckily most of our customers are our regulars, so had no problem identifying them :)

After that, went Orchard with LP then to Demsey Road. I was a nice place but when we went, it was drizzling and we dont have brollies with us..so, was there for about 10mins and took cab to Holland V. Had Mexican food for lunch. The restaurant is a very relaxing place. We ate their famous nachos with chilli dips, mozerrala cheeze wrapped with green pepper and chicken wraps.

Met my mum, brother n sister in law at 6pm at bugis,,went for steamboat near that area. Wow, there were more than 10 steamboat shops!!~ we had a very heavy dinner,,luckily my bro drive...i felt like a pig.

Came home, on the pc,,ah,,a customer is so funny. he/she made payment for the ruki's notebook and gave us S$3.50 as tips for the good and efficient service of replying him/her. Funny siar. Then replied saying we dont take tips lah!~ So, will refund him/her the tips. Sometimes we got customers giving more coz they forget hw much are the items..

Gotta go out for 3 meet ups,,den go to buy some necessities..
