Not going to japan
The Japanese Yen ballooned big time lately!~ Today it rises again to SGD$1 - Yen148..soo expensive. Practically freeze all my orders from japan. Europeans and Australians are the worst hit coz their currencies are very weak.
Checked air ticket to Tokyo yday. The cheapest is Thai aiways, ticket is about SGD$300 but the other charges is SGD$900+!~ Siao rite????
Haiz,,dont think can go japan at year end coz today's news said Singapore is official in Recession..Zzzzz During such turbulant times, cash is king.
Last nite J wants to order an expensive japanese earphone for his brother..advised him not to buy coz now, nothing is more important than having $$ in ur pocket. Other stuffs are not important..
Dont know how long will this Recession last...

How Much is USD700 billion
Extract from today's Yahoo News. A mind boggling amount. Nonetheless, i believe the bailout will be passed.
Dont pass--> Very painful now (banks got no $ to lend so, economy is at a standstill. Affects the whole world)
Pass --> Slow pain down the road coz need time to put everything back to the right place (like paying installments for the bank's errors).
******************************************************************************
Based on the U.S. Census Bureau's estimate of the current population of about 305 million people, each person would have to pay $2,300 to fund the $700,000,000,000. If each American (including children) paid a dollar a day, it would take more than six years to pay the money in full.
One might argue, however, that this $700 billion would be a modest splash in the bucket of national debt, which already stands at well over $9 trillion (which means you already owe $31,642 each).
Even the New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez would lose sleep over all those zeroes. Currently the top paid major league baseball player, Rodriguez takes home $28 million a year, meaning it would take 25,000 A-Rod salaries to carry the $700 billion.
Nobody is rich enough to pay back this $700 billion by himself. In fact, the Forbes 400 richest list recently came out. It would take most of what these 400 people collectively have - a combined net worth of $1.57 trillion - to dig out of this mess.

Went to jb with yy today. She commented about the US financial meltdown in one short sentence.
"The US government shld ask our MM Lee how to solve".
It was such a profound statement.

Haiz
haha,,Yoshiki is like squeezing to find a venue (any venue) last minute coz he's got the urge to perform on new year's eve..lolz...
I dunno hw much i can fork out for the ticket..maybe max S$500? I dunno if it it might be too low..Well, i cant fight with the japanese in terms of $$$$. X got many auntie fans..im sure they are richie rich... Gaze's mei mei fans are also richie rich (Gem cery and all)..let alone X fans,,
Yday i smsed the guy who was supposed to do up the VS website and told him not to do the site liao,,,he will refund me the S$500 ive paid him months ago,,,told him i need the $$ for the X concert.. He is a Yoshiki fan,,hahah,,so he know i would want to go to this concert. Anyhow, dont think will be updating the site as frequent as before, thus,,no need a new site for it. The site can do anytime..but not for X concert.
There are no info on the tickets yet,,dunno when man,,must ask another japanese fren to subscribe to 1 mth of the Yoshiki mobile. Kiasu is the best policy!! If i can get the ticket at usual price,,then i would be the luckiest person alive!!
Another mei mei may go to their Seoul tour. Her relatives are there and she said March is a good time coz she's waiting to go into Poly...I dunno about taiwan tickets....if die die didnt get the japan ticket,,den maybe will ask this mei mei to get for me the Seoul ticket.... Dont like korea but den,,,as long as got ticket,,it is ok. Haiz,,such a dileamma... i think taiwan or shanghai tour is the best...
Told LP on Friday about the X live,,her first reaction was "Go Bangkok one,,cheap." Aiyoh,,,Bangkok worst lah,,,language is soo different despite cheap,,,i dunno anything about this place..
For that "fan",,,you are right,,he scared i cheat his few bucks,,hahhaa..

Concerts
Dear Xuann,
Haiz,,i hope his fans will scold him for choosing this uber tiny venue. Afterall they are going to prepare for this live,,,so, why not choose a bigger venue instead?? You are right, even if it is not in Tokyo, it is still alright as long as more ppl can attend. Maybe he has sentimental feelings for Tokyo...hahaha..
I think this capacity would perhaps be just nice for his friends and ppl in the industry..for fans?? haiz,,,,,,,Zzzzz I wonder hw much shld i pay for the ticket..Zzzzzzz
Yday met up with an customer in the evening to pass him his indies dvd. Den he asked:
He: Eh,,i ask you something,,,i want to go to xxxx concert in november..what are the charges like?
Me: Hmm,, depends on the ticket price and the miscellaneous cost like shipping within japan, banking fees, etc. If we dont know the misc cost yet, we will bill you the ticket price first. After we know the misc cost after ticket is confirm, you pay it before we pass you the ticket. It is because some ticket distributors only inform the misc cost after the ticket is confirm.
He: Huh? Like that no transparency leh.....
Me: That is the best we can do. Normally we do our best to inform total cost unless it is really under such difficult circumstance, then we will bill the ticket price first.
He: I will send u the url if i am interested.
Well, i hate to say that,,if you can afford to go japan to catch concert, why are you worrying about the ticket price? I mean, come on,,you will pay at least S$2k for your trip,,if a concert ticket cost you less than S$130...why are you sooo penny pinching about it??? I would be more worried if i can get the ticket... (btw, he is a working class!)
I forget to tell him that he should buy at the door instead,,den he see got "Transparency" anot. I bet ppl there will sell him x 2 or more..den, ask him to try telling them "eh,,why you got no Transparency??."
Dunno what to comment about such "fans".
