SG Speaker Corner

[elixirdream]

i don't think dom did join here right...
i guess he doesn't wish to be part of us anymore
or he is trying to concentrate on his studies
at any rate, all the best dom

today is wilayah day... that means all the federal territories are having holiday
however, that excluding me

sigh... work work work

 

[mrfatso]

Well, if he is concentrating on his studies, that's great.

Not everyone has the devil luck like my brother, play dota the entire year and his o level result can still be better than me when i gave up internet for around 3 ~ 6 months and just spam assessment books and well, on the bright side, i did managed to pull my A-Math from E-8 back to B3/4 although it was on the expense of my other subject.

Haha, poor elixir, don have his free holiday.

 

[elixirdream]

LOL.... 2 more weeks

i will work hard for the rest of the week and next

hip hip hooray

so hows SG ?

 

[mrfatso]

same here, next week will be hell, my savings will probably be swearing at me for not saving them up.

This week, i have a few important stuff to implement and sign... gona spend some time figuring out how to do them.

Anyway, SG is as just as cooling as usual, how about your side? How's malaysia?

 

[elixirdream]

i guess the CNY atmosphere is around
is just i haven't been out enough to witness it
they have this beer spam discount

one competitor dis on another

hypermarket T was selling 88.88 then disc hypermarket G for cheaper than them by RM 1
then
hypermarket G throw price at 83.88 then disc hypermarket T for breaking promise as the cheapest

is darn funny

 

[mrfatso]

haha, good old CNY competition, always helping us save money.

 

[elixirdream]

haha, good old CNY competition, always helping us save money.

It sure is! they tried to rip us off from many other occasion
now is time for us to get some goodies and benefits

 

[mrfatso]

ya, wonder how much lower the prices will drop

 

[elixirdream]

hahahahahahha
i have no idea...
i think they are going till their profit...

 

[mrfatso]

haha, maybe later you go see, they are selling it for 40RM cheaper

 

[elixirdream]

that will be like losing lots of $$$
i doubt anyone will be so idiot
but i just wish to find out whats the bottom line they can go

 

[mrfatso]

hard to say, lose some money now, but in future, more ppl will come to your shop to buy stuff.

It's the common tactic, lose some but you earn more in the long term. (if i remember correctly)I remember a few months back, during the petrol price war, there was a time, where they drop it till really low, about 5 bucks less than usual, or was it 10? i only remember that there was a huge jam thanks to so many ppl Q-ing in front of the station.

 

[elixirdream]

thats the purpose of them throwing price
the lower they throw... there will be attracting more customers to come to your store to purchase goods
however, it would be heart breaking if all the customers go to the shop only for the beer
then they will really lose some $$$$

 

[mrfatso]

worse are those shops that really want to do good.

Like there was a report a month ago, about a shop owner who set up store, he came from china and come here, and he wanted to give something back.

So, he ownself set up a elderly pack containing a small bag of rice/milo and some other stuff and he went to give to those elderly. But instead of being thankful, a number of them was complaining about how little item there was or that the items were so cheapo.

Then, there are leechers who just keep taking and taking, end up, his shop business like shit and he have to slowed down to give once a month in order for his business to be profitable.

 

[elixirdream]

LOL.... the 5k comes into action

do agree?

 

[mrfatso]

ya, and it's pretty sad.

Especially coming from elderly, which was what i wanted to think till i remember reading an article today about elderly becoming bitter and refusing help, well it's something to that effect.

 

[elixirdream]

refusing to help?
sometimes i feel like helping elder but sometimes i don't

sometimes i see some elderly would just beg for $$$
in my heart i wish to help but i am reluctant
i have seen those elder people just to collect rubbish from the dump site
i mean why can't that elder person do the same instead of beg

 

[mrfatso]

ya, i saw them as well, heck i seen some elderly selling tissue in hawker center.

Well, maybe they beg cos they have a medical condition that isnt obvious and that condition prevent them from working?

I mean look at those around you, i bet maybe 1 or 2 around you have some condition like high blood or some other stuff. Only diff is that they can work and afford medication to keep their condition while elderly, they probably have to think more about their next meal and cant or not willing to use their money on medicine.

 

[elixirdream]

well, i understand that but i still believe that working for your own $$
because i have seen some really weak old folks go search for alu cans and recycle stuff
they would be easily on their 60s - 70s

 

[mrfatso]

yup, sometime if i see them, i finish drinking my can and if there is a toilet near, i go in wash the can and give the can to them.
