Well....I have bidded and won 96 watches and 40 sunglasses since I joined ebay since May 08. At the total cost of over 14+K with me spending over 5K on myself just to pamper myself and I managed to resell about 30% of them. I have been doing things to pamper others at times with without in return.
Therefore....I have nearly 50% of them in my drawer in my workplace or in my car. Hahaha........
shit, with another 20% yet to received. All are fully paid....via paypal, meaning paying thru my credit card and may not have fully settled in cash. So....that maybe the reason why I over-do the whole thing....no immediate impact on my pocket.
Another crazy thing that i do....lately. Becoz what I sold....mainly my girls will "utang" me until their pay day....meaning end of the month. For the malay and indian ones....2 time payments hehehe. I have finally "stop" my bidding and now licking my wounds. Not likely to make any profit but every chance of lost....becoz not everything people would like to buy and wear.
Having the same situation as my lingzhi and water purifier explores hahaha. End up trying to swallow every pill of lingzhi....but with 2 months left before expiry, I have another 80+ bottles under my bed. Aiya.....don't even want to mention the stock of water purifers left in the house.
For watches....not as easy to sell as compared to the sunglasses. Likely due to the cost....about $65 to 130 each ( ave at about $80+ ), while sunglasses....only selling for $18.50 each. Look like the Malay love the sunglasses more esp those with over-sized frames. They are more into "LOOKS" hahaha. Learned somethine here hehehe at a small cost.

Friday
Looking back at things....bad start for the week after kena "fly areoplane". But still.....life still move on, no point to hang on to bad experience and sobbed over it. People do say this.....things happened for a reason. To me....it depends whether who is impacted. The person who kena impacted won't be smiling at the end of the day where else the person who is giving the impact won't feel that something could be wrong. Anyway....it is in the past, just another page in life.
Yes....oil price dropped at the start of the week then moves up higher again, also same for the share prices too in SGX. After all....most shares have dropped to their lowest point recently and that SWFs are making their moves to shore up their holding and also to lend support to the whole world structure. If they don't do anything to help support it....they may lose more than others as they are the ones who are holding most of the world's assets. So...in other's word, they are merely looking back their own interest. Life is like this with most people and not just SWFs. Anyway SWFs are controlled by people.
If....the US drops, the rest of the world also go along "south". No one is spared. Still it is a risk to go into share market now but at this level....maybe it's time to have a second look.

Talk is cheap...or should it be free?
Old people have this statement.....talk is cheap, maybe should be changed to talk is free esp if one never meant anything said.
Yes....they are just words spoken to "cover-up" something or to buy time until the situation change. Like for eg "What is the point of saying sorry when things don't change" or "Much appreciated...when there is nothing to show for it in return". Like being concern about someone or something....usually it is just spoken for "shiok" and really with nothing to back it up....just empty words to me when not even a pat on the back or head is given. There is nothing real about whatever thing said....I guessed people today just talk and say these don't really mean anything but just mere words spoken for the sake of talking or to sound nice.
Me....maybe I am from the old school, I put my mouth in my wallet or at least I made things "happened". Not just talk for talk sake....but people now don't really "appreciated" that. They do things for emotion and love...but most have nothing to give when it is their turn to show what they said. They just go "AWOL" when it is their turn to give something in return.
But me....no change from start till now, but I'm still last in line for everything....should I not have the right to feel "PISSED"?
I know...becoz I learn from my experiences.

Since my last posting till now - update
Have done some stupid things during the time...bid and won countless watches and sunglasses at ebay! and another one....took up a part-time duty only to have more regrets about fault-finding without any pay-off. Guess....one stupid thing after another during this period...lor. Really feeling fxxked without having the actual thing.
Maybe...I will wake-up from this and faced the "truth". And maybe learned to say "no" esp since people have been taking me for being a "push-over" all the time. Always need things done...then I am the man! but when something nice and sweet....I am back at the last row, always last in line.
But I was always thinking for others...esp my loved ones but looking at the situation now. My loved ones are not in the same wave-length as me. Yes....I am too damn pleasing at times but now....hopefully, everyone can understand each other better without the guilt or fault finding that if you want things done your way, you gotto give something in return...not just sweet talk but actual deeds. For too long...I am falling for mere words.
Pau pau for the sake of pau pau....come on, that is the most easiest thing to do now in Singapore esp the inflex of girls due to the hard times around the world. Just pay some money and that is the least of my problem right now.....max to pay for the best is going for about $100 only for some sweet young thing for an hour of fun.
So....why do I do some of the stupid thing meh, it is because I thought I am being helpful, sweet and a soulmate or something and maybe will be rewarded with some loving touches once in awhile but so far....things didn't turn out to be what I thought it would. Now only me...feeling guilty for saying what is REAL FACT here.
What a disappointment....have my life gone from bad to worst....and pathetic?
