There are interesting things that shoppers may not notice.
1)Particularly on top floor,6th..on the corner(one of two toilets) is being locked by some certain staffs for personal uses(i suspect it is done by the staffs from nearby shop that has two units close to toilet.
That is really ~_~
2)Most of distributors usually set one-stop stores along back lanes in Sim Lim Square so that dealers can call up and pick up some stuffs from their inventory.
3)Small business stores that doesn't sell many products usually buy from other stores so as to accomdate the customer needs.
4)I must say distributor staff is good thing because it allow you to go outside and offer the products so that the stores can take it up and sell.
I have seen some..One of them..a lady who seem to prefer wearing long and tight-fitting jean..i think i am somewhat attracted by proper dressing unlike those girls who wear skirts(japanese type) but doesn't really match their legs(too bad i happened to see a box of cigarette in her handbag where it was lying on the floor)
5)Dealers usually pay distributors by cheques..the day when distributors go to their store and deliver the list of cost owing along with invoice numbers.
6)Distributor people are much more friendly and outgoing type..90% of them at least..
7)Foreginers from western countries are generally have strong accents covering up the vowels when speaking english but i do think that people from India speak barely inaudible english.Nevertheless i try my best to decode what they are trying to say.
I realise that Singaporeans speech on english is much netural-toned.
I met two friends of mine whom i have not seen for years.
Last two Fridays ago,on the way to Sim Lim Square from SIM by bus when i had paid the semester 2 fee, i happened to see a fat and burly tanned chinese guy lying on the grass indicating that he fainted..some people around him tried to revive.It happened to be near Sentai Hospital. I must say it was my first time seeing like that.
during the brief stay,so far two ladies attracted my attention but i did not try to pick them up.There are some interesting gentlemen.
On the first day of the work..after work,i met Kar Ho so as to pass Principle Of Management textbook to him so that he can do well for POM retest.
The old lady tried not to use the barley we wanted to buy but suggested to use the other barley that is commericalised selling.
Kar Ho questioned her and after 1-2minutes Kar Ho insisted buying that barley drink.
I think it is really silly to persuade customer to buy different barley..
There was a bizzare incident.
After eating and shopping around Bugis Junction for jacket, we went to play some game in acrade.
Kar Ho want to play Street Fighter 3 Turbo(should be this title) and i took a chair that nobody use it to bring over and sit with Kar Ho watching him play.
Few minutes later(like 2-3minutes),a chinese guy tapped my shoulder and look unpleased speaking to me in Chinese.Kar Ho asked what is going on in friendly tone.
We didn't get what he wanted to say.My guess is give up the chair and let him take.
It seem to be one.
30 minutes later we went home together by MRT where Kar Ho drop at Toa Payoh.
Kar Ho told me if i were him,he would fucked him up because he wanted to bully us.
Of course i knew that he wanted to find a small thing to 'aim' at me but i did not choose the usual way which i used to do this.(Give no face and screw him upside down).I thought of my age and the lifestyle i currently live.It is really not neccessary and i rather give up because it doesn't cost us any money and pain.
If you think that way,this incident will have forgotten already..More worth than to fuck the guy up which may result a lot of money involved.
I had my hair cut.The hairdresser who attend me is the great one..he offered me nice price cut off.
Monsoon will gain more customers for sure.
I notice a young chinese guy who come in for a cut..after 5minutes cut and it was DONE!
WHAT THE FUCK!To cut at saloon just for 5 minutes to trim his short hair!
I wonder how much it cost. $33+ for a 5 minutes hair trim must be insane.
If he is working person,it would be all right but he seem to be schooling.
A lot of movie..be sure to read my opinions in each moive. :D
국경의 남쪽 - Gook-gyeong-aui Nam-jjok(South Of The Border)(Korea Movie 2006)
Click here for official website
Synopsis:
"The situation in the war-torn Korean Peninsula has been an important motif in many local films.
In recent years, however, their main focus has shifted from the severe conflict between the two Koreas to individual tragedies and experiences.
The latest film ``Over the Border (Kukkyongui Namjjok),'' takes an even more personal look at the tragic situation and moviegoers may find it just another typical melodrama if they don't pay much attention to the fact that it is the first to deal with the lives of North Korean defectors in Seoul.
Directed by Ahn Pan-suk, the film revolves around Kim Sun-ho (played by Cha Seung-won), who is a horn player in an orchestra in North Korea.
As he belongs to a comparatively high class in his country, Sun-ho enjoys his life and has plans to marry his girlfriend Yon-hwa, whom he is very much in love with.
One day, Sun-ho's family receives a letter from his grandfather in Seoul, whom they had thought was dead. They begin to exchange letters, but this puts their family in great danger so they decide to defect to the South.
Sun-ho is devastated because he can't take Yon-hwa with him but he promises to take her to Seoul as soon as possible after arriving in the South.
In Seoul, he tries to save money to help her escape from the North. But one day, Sun-ho hears that Yon-hwa has married another man. He becomes hopeless but later tries to find a way to adapt himself to life in the South.
The film keeps a certain distance from political and social stances and doesn't touch upon any controversial aspects of the lives of North Koreans. You may think that the struggles by North Korean defectors to seek a new life are not realistically portrayed in the film.
As director Ahn is a famous television drama producer and this is his film directorial debut, he uses many flashbacks and somewhat detailed explanations as he did in his popular TV drama series.
The dating scenes of Sun-ho and Yon-hwa are quite impressive as you get a glimpse of Pyongyang streets and an amusement park, thanks to well-recreated sets and computer graphics.
Overall, it's a new and interesting attempt at imparting the lives of North Koreans; the film shows that it is possible to do so without propaganda themes such as those that depict North Koreans as no longer enemies but neighbors, which have often appeared in such action-packed dramas as ``Shiri'' (1998), ``Joint Security Area JSA'' (2000) and ``TaeGukGi: The Brotherhood War'' (2004).
Sun-ho, a horn player for the Mansoodae Art Company, Pyongyang's state propaganda troupe, is a man who has everything: he's from a well-to-do family and has a beautiful fiancee, Yeon-hwa.
However, his world turns upside-down when authorities discover a letter from his grandfather in Seoul. His family has to flee North Korea and they take refuge in Seoul. Now with no money or friends, Sun-ho's only hope is to make enough money to bring Yeon-hwa from North Korea."
It is a sad story. It is difficult to know whether Yeon-hwa is reading the letters..
After managing to cross over from North to South, Sun-ho didn't preserved and married South Korean because his sister spill the truth but the fact that Yeon-Hwa nearly married and decided to reject.
The moment Yeon-Hwa slogged herself to cross to South Korea..the whole truth exposed and in the end they could not be together.
Opinion:
It is something we cannot solve it so easily. People are too quick to mouth you as a friend with bad thing.
I think if you happen to see like that, do not make too many assumptions or you hurt him/her for the wrong reason.
Like this movie.
Rating:7/10(somehow i am not really fan of this kind of story.I prefer happy ending!haha)

It turns out that this gold medal is the Lousha token decreed by the leader of the Lousha Gate, Shibumi. ‘Gate’ is a word describing martial arts sect or organization and Lousha Gate is a criminal organization in Asia and whoever owns the gold medal has the right to demand the full cooperation of Lousha Gate. Tiger, unaware of the medal’s powers, is ambushed by the gang during his celebrations. As fate has it, he is saved by Dragon Wong, the bodyguard of one of the gangsters, who is sent to retrieve the medal. A blonde youth using nunchakus, Turbo Shek, also joins in to help them. Dragon retrieves the medal from Tiger. Tiger is shocked when he notices a jade pendant and realizes that Dragon is his step-brother.
Although Dragon is part of Jiang Hu - the complicated society of the martial arts world involving different Gates of evil and good, and working for a criminal gang, he has kept himself away from any criminal activities. After Dragon’s gangster boss Ma Kun returns the plaque to Shibumi he announces his retirement from Jiang Hu. Shibumi is angry upon hearing this news and sends his adopted daughter Lousha to destroy Ma.
In the meantime, Tiger has asked Ma Kun’s daughter Ma Xiaoling to help him inform Dragon that they are brothers. Xiaoling, who has already taken a liking to Tiger, agrees to help him. Dragon actually recognised him from the beginning but refuses to accept him. Lousha kills Ma Kun, but fortunately Dragon manages to fight his way out and escapes to Dragon Tiger Gate with Ma Xiaoling. Dragon hands Xiaoling over to Tiger and leaves, as he is unable to forget the past and so is unable to enter Dragon Tiger Gate.
Excited by the appearance of worthy opponents at Dragon Tiger Gate, Shibumi appears itching for a fight and kills their master Wong Jianglong. Tiger and Shek are devastated. They try to fight back but are no match for Shibumi. Shibumi wipes out Dragon Tiger Gate and leave the two heroes for dead.
In desperation Xiaoling manages to escape with the badly wounded heroes to Bai Yun Mountain in China to seek help from Master Qi, an enigmatic recluse. Qi is famed for his expert skills in martial arts and healing, but also know for his eccentricity and unpredictable character. Xiaoling uses everything she can think of to persuade him to help and finally wins him over with her sincerity and Master Qi brings the heroes back from the gates of death. Master Qi then imparts special skills to both Tiger and Shek and they vow to revenge the death of their master Wong Jianglong. Meanwhile, Dragon almost dies from internal injuries but is saved by Lousha, as all along Lousha and Dragon have been lovers.
Back in Lousha Gate, Shibumi is unafraid of the trio’s attack. He waits at the scene of their final showdown…
Opinions:
Despite Nicholas Tse in this film,i think it is decent all-out action movie with no wow factor.
I can see why a lot of people are not impressed with it.
CGI and story is ok..You can even see the poor kung-fu co-ordinations on Nicholas and Shawn.
Some who used to read DTG comics since young complained that some scenes had edited.
No choice,it is usual thing in every movie that adapt from comics or storybook.
Even Donnie Yen personally train and supervise Shawn and Nicholas to do proper moves but it can't be done overnight.
They really need 10 years to master the proper movement of kung-fu.
As usual buddhist philosophy was slightly added and it was something i valued and believed.
"Everything is illusion in mundane world,only your conviction is real"
Indeed,i know its meaning behind it.
Try figure it out,friends especially IQB/IQO classmates i have.

Mature and yet innocent girl..i like this type
Synopsis:
From bored housewives looking for happiness, and a Casanova trying to conquer his biggest prey, to... high school students, dating, dancing, singing, and doing something a little raunchier in the weirdest School in town. Lee Jae-Yong has had quite the interesting career, after bringing back veteran Lee Mi-Sook after a long hiatus in 정사 (An Affair), and showing Bae Yong-Joon can actually act when he takes off the scarf and glasses in 스캔들 (Untold Scandal). Now this, 다세포 소녀 (Dasepo Naughty Girls), adapted from a wildly popular (raunchy, and hilarious) online manhwa, and his first work without writer Kim Dae-Woo, who went on to direct 음란서생 (Forbidden Quest).
This has a really nice cast, with some of the most talented youngsters in the scene: Lee Kyun from cult sitcom 안녕, 프란체스카 (Hello Francesca); Kim Byul, from the great short Drama 태릉선수촌 (Taereung National Village); Kim Ok-Bin from 여고괴담 4: 목소리 (Voice) and the KBS Drama 안녕하세요 하느님 (Hello, God!), and her partner in the show joining her once again, Yoo Geon. Expect a small Preview by the end of the month. Release is set for August 10, and judging by the trailer, this has cult hit written all over it...
Opinion:
Odd show though...nothing much to say about this film
