well.. sometimes they use chinese new year to SPAM $$$$$$
thats why i never pity those vendor crying on the papers saying this year business not good

 

[mrfatso]

haha, well at least we don have to spend money on pineapple tart, my mom made a few batch of it.

But the same issue with her pastry, its a tad too dry

So, i guess i be buying more drinks tomorrow for the fridge

 

[elixirdream]

i wanted to buy this grape shandy
guess what it went out of stock

damn ... its limited edition!!!!
any special drinks?

 

[iPikachu]

the best thing about CNY is that its just after exams, and you have the right to earn money while gambling.

(black jack ftw)

meh my family don't bake so we have to buy all those snacks, today i see on the table those fishball crackers and love letters o_o

 

[elixirdream]

Yeah, chinese new year is about snacks
i love the cookies that my mum in law bakes
but i don't think she is doing any for this year
DAMN!!!

i might hunt some muruku!!!
muruku is muh favourite!!!!!!!!!!

ipikachu,
gamble? i wonder will it help on your maths

 

[mrfatso]

it probably will, but she should play 21, should be easier for her. No need to worry about combination and etc.


and argh, thanks for reminding me, on friday, gona go to shops and change all my notes to coin

 

[iPikachu]

isnt black jack = 21? lol i meant 21 then

i remember a 2/3 years back we played roulette.. lost some of my money >_>

this week already start saving coin, although i always bet very small de

 

[mrfatso]

oO, roulette, i never play that before.

Anyway, haha i only bet 50 to 1 dollar only

 

[elixirdream]

ipikachu,
spend sometime on your chinese and maths

mrfatso,
LOL, just now i went to the market! freaking lots of people!!

 

[mrfatso]

haha, to be expected, since everyone doing their last min stock up.

After all, during CNY, most stores will be closed and on my side, the wet market will be closed for a while.

 

[elixirdream]

well.... i think all the stores will close from saturday or sunday onwards till at least wednesday?
kekekekee

 

[mrfatso]

not really sure how long, either way, it will last a long time. So, everyone gona start stocking up now, better than during last week, where everything gets jacked up even further.

 

[elixirdream]

jacks up! i just saw someone's newspaper this morning!
mushroom +60%
i was like.... f you vendors!

hope no people will buy their stuff and then they start crying

 

[mrfatso]

WTF?? mushroom also jacked up.

Hope, no1 despo or suay enough to buy from them, let them cry and whine about their business sucking and how they have no idea why is that.

Bloody bloodsuckers... close to new year can jack up price la, but everything also jack... Also, must have limit de ma, not everything should be jacked up more than 50%...

 

[elixirdream]

exactly, sometimes i always laugh when they cry on the newspaper complaining their business is bad
i mean, its a festive season but why jack the price up?

supply and demand comes in to play? come on.. don't shit on me!!

this is why i adore the price war on beer between the hypermarket!
instead of jacking they go until as low as possible!!!!

 

[iPikachu]

my standard bet 20 cents only.. near end of the rounds then start 50-1 dollar, since playing with kids.

chinese ah.. it was pretty much established to us that to poly chinese < english so even my classmates have pretty much given up and sleep during the classes >_> haiz lol oh well at least i did my homework

k i go do my online maths

i have to SPAM once

YOU ARE A DISGRACE FOR BEING A CHINESE

 

[mrfatso]

the supply and demand part i can understand, since i remember that time my parents and i went to wet market buy meat, and my mom was complaining to them about how every year, everything so expensive during this period and the people were sighing that although they want to earn some extra money, but most of the time, it was thanks to their supplier.

Supplier jacked up price = they have jacked up even more to earn the same profit

my standard bet 20 cents only.. near end of the rounds then start 50-1 dollar, since playing with kids.

chinese ah.. it was pretty much established to us that to poly chinese < english so even my classmates have pretty much given up and sleep during the classes >_> haiz lol oh well at least i did my homework

k i go do my online maths

FK YOU FOR LOOKING DOWN ON CHINESE.

seriously, when i was in poly, i wanted to take up Chinese supplementary but thanks to guys/gals like you, that class was canceled and i took Japanese instead. I mean, dont you find it sad that as a chinese, your chinese language is inferior to ang mo and even Indians(no offense to you guys) ??

 

[elixirdream]

Well, too bad i don't live within their circle!
what i can do is just ignore them

anyway, is just a festive season for a fewdays!
no point paying extra for these idiots

just now i passed by a saloon

and they have a piece of paper there

"NO PRICE INCREASE"

---
no offense, we here always fight for the chinese education. fear of losing it!
one of guy's citizenship was even taken away by govt' because of chinese education.....
parents here try to register their kids to the chinese school as early as their kid is 3YO
yet.....

another thing, even malays and indians here attend chinese school!
having a chinese saying such stuff... you are not a disgrace is what?

 

[mrfatso]

speaking of that, i find it really strange, food increased are what i am used to already..

But why barber have to jack up the price as well? I still don get the reasoning behind that..

------------

Dont forget americans and other ang mo also learning chinese.. Heck, i wanted to take chinese because i am scared that one of these days due to lack of using chinese, i will forget everything...

I am already starting to forget nearly everything related to it, the only reason why chinese is still alive, is because i talk to my parents in chinese, talk to my friends in chinese, and i still have those chinese comic to read.

And pika, while it is true that chinese is not required to get into poly, but if your chinese is that sucky, how are you gonna communicate with those lecturers from china? they say talk to them in chinese, but we all know how sucky their english is. Or even talk to their students who do not understand english? Yes!! i know of a few who do not understand english so i have to talk to them in chinese.

Think about it, are you really that willing to give up your roots?
