Carousell SG Imbecile Copycat Thief Seller Vivacity

Sat 30 Apr 2:31p.m.

Stole my image & copies sellers. 

Poor taste & stupid. 

Because he has no taste, he steals from other sellers' good taste.

What for sell the same items as other sellers? Don't you have your own taste & preference? What a lousy, pathetic man.  Completely disgusts me.

Stole my image. That image is mine because I used my photo editor to bring the separate images together into 1.  This guy stole it & put it into his own photos for the same item that I was selling & priced that item cheaper.

What an imbecile.  Under-pricing the items & under-cutting other sellers. Just to get positive reviews. Something wrong with him. So stupid.  Spoil the market & disadvantage himself. Earn less when he can earn more. Sell for less when can sell for more.

He don't even know the market value of the items he sells.

Bro told me to tell him to take down that photo that is mine.  I said nevermind. I already sold that item whereas he'll still be struggling to sell his.  That item was quite difficult to sell. He stupidly followed me & brought in the same item.

I said he's such an imbecile.  Just let him be.

I have my own methods. And this guy has many limitations. Nothing much to deal with. Want to copy? Go ahead. Boring man. 

A person with lousy taste & mind cannot go higher. He will always be behind.

Previously, his profile icon was even weirder.  One of those My Little Pony pic with rainbow. I thought it was a woman. Reviews say it's a man.  A man who cannot grow up.

He must be one of those stunted weirdos with a fetish for My Little Pony. I heard they have accounts on Facebook.

Looking at his sales record since 2014, it's nowhere near the best. Just like Jamieq.

"Carousell Recommended Seller, Feb 2016"?? Crazy.  Putting that statement himself in his own profile.  Last year, it was 2015 with that Pony thing.

Positive reviews don't mean a thing.  There are sellers who have a collecting addiction for positive reviews. They will do anything to get one.  It doesn't mean they are good people. Prime example is the Fraudster. So "kind" & "friendly". 

A buyer even called him "obedient". Holy crap. Obedient. What a lack of respect for the seller. In so many reviews I've read, I've never once seen a buyer call a seller "obedient".  Really don't know what made this buyer say it.

The imbecile seller Vivacity must have agreed to some out of the way meeting place just to sell one damn bag. What a fool.

If someone dares say I am "obedient", I'll kill him.  But the person won't even have a chance to say it. Because I am not obedient.  And I hate time-wasters & people.  If not for money, I won't even be doing this shit. Complete waste of time. And where's the money? Zero.  I'll starve on Carousell. Stupid place with stupid people.

Carousell Osaka Bags Fraudster Mr False Advertising Scammer Opens Premium Laptop Bags

From "laptop.bags" to "premium laptop.bags". He recently changed his new account name. And stopped describing it as a "Singapore registered company".

74 sales as of this post. Pretty good since opening in Jan this year. He has a knack for making very fast sales.

However, I would say this laptop.bags account makes less money that his Osaka Bags. Some of the items are actually free but he sells it for some good money. So that's 100% profit.

But how big is the profit? I would say not as much as his Osaka Bags.

He has shifted his money & focus to this new account. Increasing his stock. He's still calling felt material "cashmere". So the fraud (fraudulent advertising) is still there. And customers are as usual, stupidly buying it with heap loads of praise.

Butterfly Stroke Finally

Sat 9 April.

-----------
6 Apr Wed

Today 1st time finally successfully swam 50m Butterfly stroke correctly. Half pool twice (50m) without stopping. 3 times separately. Pool divided into 2 (damnable but fine).

Was so well done, lifeguard stood in front to watch. When done, he strolled away.

I am happy. Been trying for months. Always glad & grateful I am not Muslim or in a Muslim country. Otherwise, won't even be able to swim. I would have missed out on swimming the most beautiful stroke in the whole world. What is life then?

Oh! As a woman, I'm so glad to be born free in Singapore. Born of a free race that does not force any religion on me.  My mind & my intellect are free.

There is a secret to swimming Butterfly. And I think I have just discovered it after so many months of trying. To be able to swim 50m without stopping means I am doing something right.

Previously, I couldn't.  I used to call it my Sinking Fly. Now, it's almost effortless.

Didn't expect to complete 50m Butterfly today.

Was very tired from waking up so early for 2 days. Monday met customer at 9.30am. Today Wed met this customer at 8.30am at Dhoby Ghaut (woke at 7am. I refuse to wake any earlier. Tues didn't swim because right ear water-logged).

After delivering the bag at 8.35am or 8.40am (customer late waiting at wrong place), was so early, I went home. Arrived at the pool at about 10.30 (swam till before close).

Wasn't thinking of being able to complete half pool x2 without stopping. Usually, I must stop and rest at the end of half pool. But I found I still strength left when reaching the end & so made it back without stopping to rest. Was surprised at myself.

Did a few other strokes & tried Butterfly again. Did it again without rest. Another 50m. Wow. 2nd time lucky? And I was supposed to be very tired from lack of sleep. Odd.

Did a few other strokes & tried again. 3rd time successfully. Confirms it isn't a fluke.  I got it right.

Yesterday Fri 8 April, I did it again. Also half pool but non-stop. Once. When I tried again, arms too tired.

Needs fine-tuning for even smoother flow. Need faster.

Real test will be to swim 50m straight with no divider. See if I can complete it.

Odd thing is, seems swimming early in the morning is better than afternoon, even though early morning very tired.  Maybe that's why athletes swim before sunrise.

If not for meeting customers these 2 early mornings, I wouldn't have known, because I don't wake so early. Might not have been able to complete the Butterfly that day if I hadn't specially woken early for the customers. Pushed out of usual zone.

Previous night, prior to Wed's successful Butterfly, had brushed up on watching tips. But... I've always been watching tips & nothing happened. Something clicked into place on Wed morning such that I was finally able to swim it.

Update 11 April Monday. Finally tested it on straight 50m. No divider. Was able to complete to the end without stopping.  Was too tired to do it again.  But at least for the first time, I did 50m straight. Finally.

Today, I learnt another secret about swimming it. Will test again.

Hanami Hill Sakura Spring in Japan Arrived

Sun 3 April. Since Taka having Hokkaido Spring food fare, I thought to check the cams.

2016. Part of Hanami Hill is in bloom. Cherry Blossoms. Spring has arrived. People are already walking briskly up the hill. :) With umbrellas today. Sunday 12.47am Japan time (11.47am SG time).

Wish I was there. Still seem to almost touch & smell the air. Damn.

Saw the video & was a little surprised Sakura already open. Then recalled. Yeah. It was about this time of year... April 7 that I was there. Now is already April 3. Yes. Time to open. 

The castle is still bare. Trees not in bloom yet. Miss you. Matte. Ne? I hope I can return. Unable to find money. Plus I am getting older. I hope it won't be too late.  Money is hard to find. Airfare is expensive. Are you still the same?

People on the bottom left going up. Image not clear. Used to be another angle but it's gone. That angle, close up on a part of the hill that I don't recall going up, was very clear & sharp last year. Tsk.

65Daigou EzBuy Always Unstable Gives Me a Headache

Tueday 1:03pm  29 March.

They change things whenever they like without informing.

What's the point of changing their name when I would rather they focus on their reliability & shipping? Changing name makes it inconvenient for everyone. Now we've got longer to say, take more time to say "ezbuy that used to be 65daigou".  Just leave your goddamn name alone.

One moment shipping soap bars via Economy Air is fine. Next moment, it's not.

Previously, when I ordered soap from Taobao, I found out they had 2 or 3 staff placing the order for me. One person had no problem with ordering. The other person said that soap is "cosmetics" & cannot be shipped via Economy Air. When I said I shipped it before, that person backed off & apologized.

Now, problem again. Since yesterday (Mon) morning, my soap bars have been "ready for shipment".  Now Tues afternoon, still not shipping. Something is wrong. Usually, when I confirm ship out, it will be done within the same day. Why wasn't it moving?

I almost didn't ask. But what if they somehow left out the parcel? Maybe parcel too small among the thousands of things in the warehouse? Maybe the shipping queue too long & I should wait?

Well, their instant online chat is there. It's free. I asked why it was taking longer than usual. Whether it was shipping out today?

From their reply, I can only shake my head at the way they do things.

Although they are shipping via Sensitive Air without my paying more, I didn't ask for Sensitive shipping & didn't know.

Sensitive Air takes longer to arrive which I am displeased with because I want those soap now.  If they didn't do it without extra cost this time, Sensitive Air will also cost more for me.

No explanation why previously it was fine to ship via Economy Air & now no.  Is it because they changed carriers to 2-3 days shipping instead of the usual 5 days? I don't know.

Why wasn't the ordering staff informed of the change? Why wasn't I notified about the shift to Sensitive Air shipping? No notice that parcel will be delayed because of this?

Frankly, 65daigou makes me tired(er), especially when I am already tired. They make my headache worse.

They do things without informing. Not the first time. If using them to do business, it's very risky. Don't ever promise customers anything when it comes to Taobao & 65daigou.

Mon 4 April.

After that, nothing moved. I wondered if they had shipped out without changing the status.

I asked when they were going to ship out the items. The reply was "today" but then nothing moved for the day.  The following day, it moved. And from the ETA, it seemed they were shipping by Economy Air after all.

I got the items today & I don't know why 65daigou put 2 sets of soap bars (3 bars each set) into 1 big box filled with plenty of foam packets. Actual weight about 1.18kg. "Volumetric" 2.61kg.

The other set of soap bars was separate in the seller's box.

Total for these 3 sets (9 soap bars) = 3.45kg, rounded to 3.5kg = $11.83.

I'm frowning.

Why did 65daigou put just 2 sets of soap bars into 1 big box? And why didn't 65daigou just bubble wrap them instead of putting into a box?

Was the foam packets & big box some kinda camouflage so they can fly Economy Air??? Because they said "cosmetics" can't fly by Economy but then flew these soap by Economy.  But then the other set of soap bars was just in a normal seller's thick box with bubble wrap.

Right now, I am at a loss to understand why 65daigou put 2 small sets of soap bars into 1 big box, costing me more money than necessary.

You should see the number of foam packets they put into that box. It's crazy. What the hell are they doing? Large marshmellow-sized foam in 5 large packets.

Consumer Price Tag Fraud @ Meidi-ya Supermarket Singapore

Their latest tactic to make money especially during the crowded weekends when people just grab without looking or checking.

Meidi-ya cannot place the blame on lousy staff.

Price tagging cheaper items with prices of more expensive items.

Sweet turnip weighed & priced as sweet potato. Sweet potato is a more expensive item by weight. This fact was made known to me by the cashier who keyed in my items.

She kept quiet until I stopped her at checkout.

I always monitor the screen & saw there were 3 sweet potatos. I said, "There are only 2 sweet potatoes. Why is there a third?".

I looked in my bags & saw the turnip being price tagged as sweet potato. She didn't look surprised. And remained waiting for payment.

I said, "This is an incorrect pricing. Are the prices for the turnip & sweet potato the same?".

She said no, sweet potato costs more.

In that case, shouldn't she be correcting it? Instead she still stood there, hoping or thinking I would accept the difference which I am sure many people will do to avoid a delay.

However, think about this. If you shortchanged the  supermarket even 5 cents, will they let you go? It is unfair for the customer to pay more due to "wrong" price tagging by their staff.

I said there's a weighing scale over there (near the cashiers) where she could just pop over to weigh the turnip correctly.  But she said the scale cannot be used to weigh turnip. Turnip must be weighed in the vegetables section that has a scale that can weigh turnips.

So she had to close her counter, telling another waiting customer that she would be leaving. Then she ran off to the vegetables section. Total delay.

2 customers waited. Myself & the other woman who stayed. All because the turnip was intentionally weighed wrongly.

Intentionally because the staff cannot claim they can't read.  Also, the cashier said they "anyhow press" the scale during price tagging. This is negligence. 

After a while, the cashier rushed back to her counter.  She said she had to key in all the items in my bags all over again. All because of 1 turnip.

I asked, "Did you scold the staff there?".

She gave a pained expression, "They anyhow press.".

I said, "What about the manager?".

She gave a slight smile & shrugged it off.  Meaning the manager is a hopeless ass.

Meidi-ya is wasting customers' time.  No wonder the cashiers tell me they get scolded. This cashier admitted she had also been scolded over this matter.  She even said it happened to another customer over a carrot.

With such trouble, it's no surprise she either pretends not to see the wrong pricing, hope the customer will not know or customers know but allow it to pass.

Last week, at the meat shelves, I saw whole shelf section of Iberico Pork price tagged as beef.  And all the packets clearly show a sticker that says "Iberico Pork". Yet they were weighed & tagged as beef.

I intentionally asked this cashier which was more expensive. Beef or pork?

She said, "Of course beef.".

I won't ask how much more expensive beef versus pork. But during weekends when I see women just grab packets of pork off the shelves,  Meidi-ya is making a lot more money than is legit.

Bro said that what Meidi-ya is doing is the opposite of what shoplifters do. Shoplifters put cheaper price tags onto more expensive items.

Meidi-ya tags cheaper items with more expensive prices.  Why aren't expensive items tagged with cheaper prices? Is Meidi-ya supermarket having cash flow problems?

お金を稼ぐの明治屋スーパーマーケットシンガポール新しい戦術！

値札の欺瞞。

サツマイモのようなカブ入れ価格。

イベリコ豚は牛のように価格を置きます。 

キャッシャーは、それが頻繁に発生する私に言いました。ニンジンはまた、他のより高価な商品の価格タグを使用して高い値段。 

顧客やレジにトラブルが発生します。顧客が価格差を検出すると、その顧客とレジ係のための非常に不便になります。それは彼女のせいではないときにお客様がレジを叱ります。これは、日本の経営故障非常に悪いです！

私は牛肉の値札とイベリコ豚の行全体を見ました。もちろん、牛肉は豚肉よりも高価です。 

私は気づき始めました。私は正しくタグの価格をされなかった項目の不当より多くを支払うことをしたくありません。 

カブの間違ったサツマイモのように価格設定されたため、レジ係が個人的にそれを正しく比較検討するカウンタを計量に行かなければなりません。彼女が留守の間キャッシャーカウンターを使用することができませんでした。カウンターで待っている他の顧客。

間違った値札は、長時間の遅延の原因となりました。すべての私の項目は、ビニール袋に既にありました。しかし、今、レジ係の女性はすべてを取り出して計算をやり直す必要がありました。 ひどい。 


 

Volumetric Weight Shipping 65Daigou

I just came off from online chat with 65daigou staff.

Just when I was thinking of praising 65daigou, suddenly this comes up.

This is the first time I am ordering furniture. Just a light wood rack.  Just some days ago, I ordered 2 & they are now on the way by sea.

A week ago, I ordered a 3rd one.  After 4 days, the status was still "dispatched by seller".  I asked & 65daigou said it was missing in transit to warehouse. Blamed China courier company.

But then status in my account changed to "pending inspection & repack". So I thought they found it.

Over the weekend, the status didn't change. I knew something was wrong.

This morning, 65daigou messaged that it was lost & asked whether I wanted to re-order or refund. I  said re-order. And also changed shipping from Sea to Air because it was already a delay of 1 week.

Weird thing is, tonight, suddenly, the item is ready to be shipped out. Meaning, they found it & there was no need to re-order. And I changed shipping by Sea to Air for nothing!

They are so messed up. I don't know whose mistake it is.  I didn't make a sound about it because I don't know what happened. May not be 65daigou's fault.

As long as it's ready for shipping, it's fine. But then I was shocked by the air shipping charge.

1 rack: Weight/Volume Weight: 3.35 kg/16.54 kg

How can it possibly be 16.54kg??  The previous 2 was Weight/Volume Weight: 5.67 kg/18.13 kg.

How can 1 item be charged almost the same as 2 items?

I asked the online staff & here's the reply. Now you know how they make their money.

[Actually, all the staff should say is that the actual cost during repack will be cheaper/re-calculated. Customer is questioning the calculation based on estimate.].

Ordering small items, it's fine. But not furniture. Terrible.  Using a good excuse "based on international shipping standards" so that people will be satisfied.

3.35kg becomes 16.54kg just because of a rectangular box.  And haven't even round up to 17kg.  Completely shark.  Imagine if ordering a sofa. Good heavens. You would have to empty your bank account.

If 65daigou didn't say it was lost, it would have been Sea shipping. Because they said it was lost & had to re-order, I switched to Air.  *shakes head*

The shipping cost is double the price of the item.  *shakes head*

I now wait to see what the seller has sent. Damaged? Broken? Missing pieces?   These items are for someone else. If anything goes wrong, it's going to be bad.  Furniture ordering is very bad.

Additionally, I had 2 bags to go with that rack.  In the past, it was possible to tick which items you wanted to ship out. But ever since customers complained... it's now all auto lumped to be shipped via air or sea.  Customers shouldn't have complained.

Once lumped into 1 shipment,  65daigou says they cannot be separated. My 2 bags will have to be shipped with the rack.

In the past, once they issued an estimate for shipping out, that was actually the true cost. However, these days, it's changed.  The initial shock that resulted in this post, was based on the estimated cost of shipping out.

After I confirmed the ship out, the cost adjusted to a more "reasonable" value (a difference of... $12).  I suppose the warehouse packed it (actual physical vs theoretical) to cut the estimated weight.

That's good. In the actual packing, the 2 bags occupied the same volume/space as the rack. The total volumetric weight was charged as just the rack at 17kg. Meaning... the 2 bags' shipping is free.

But it still does not detract from the fact that 3.35kg can become 17kg simply by "volumetric weight". Packaging.. spaces... foam... box...

A very good way of earning profit, this volumetric weight idea. Very dangerous to order furniture unless you have your own carrier that you know & can control.

Prior to ordering, I even gave the rack 10kg allowance. And still the actual volumetric weight was far higher than my estimate.

Carousell Osaka Bags Fraudster Buyer Review

There's no stopping fraud is there? :)  He's still calling the bags "Tokyo Designed" with all that fake & crazy items' descriptions.

How does Osaka Bags Fraudster attract exactly the same type of buyers to him? He attracts fools like a magnet attracts iron filings. And the same type of fools (from their feedback reviews).

What do I have to do to attract such fools? They will likely get on my nerves with stupid questions but will I mind?

These days, when I occasionally visit the Osaka Bags Fraudster's page, I don't get angry anymore about the increasing numbers of stupid buyers who leave glowing feedback for him.

Instead, I am amused.  [My previous post on his scam was when his buyers were only 115. Now, the buyers have increased to 137.  Despite my warnings & my blog posts, he is unstoppable.]

Look at this foolish buyer's review:

I smiled reading the "Very relaxed & composed seller".  Of course.  Do you expect a fraudster to be all flustered & nervous?  Smooth & easy because he's done it more than 100 times. Steady & familiar. He knows exactly how these stupid buyers think.

"Answered my doubts & questions promptly". Whenever his buyers/suckers say this, I think: What kind of doubts can bags generate?  I really don't know until I think...

Considering the fake & crazy way the fraudster types his items' descriptions, then yes, there will be plenty of doubts & questions.

Like, why you say "Tokyo Designed" when it's actually not? Why you say leather, when it's actually crude-looking PU? Why you say there's a front pocket when there's actually no pocket at all?

"Provided paper bag to carry it" is very stellar? Is out of this world, eh?  Heavens. I provide a brand new plastic carrier bag for my customers all the time. And nobody says a thing.

I notice Carousell buyers always leave very useless & stupid comments just because they can type. Most will feedback every single detail of a transaction as if it's their first time in the whole world. For heaven's sake.

What is so spectacular about speedy & prompt replies? I do that all the time in e-mail & on Carousell. Nobody says a thing.

All sellers, all companies, all service line workers are supposed to deliver prompt replies.  It is not a special thing. It is Expected. What the heck are Carousell buyers raving about?

Buyers always buying from the Fraudster is like buyers who don't read my blog & still buy electrical appliances from Giant supermarket.  It just continues.

Look at this 136th buyer's review on the Fraudster's page. Specifically, look at his face (if that's his face in the profile pic). All his buyers have this stupid look in their profile pics:

 

My question: If the bag came wrapped... How did this buyer check it on meet up? 

And all these buyers keep saying "paper bag" "paper bag". What is so great about putting an item in a paper baggg????

I repeat: I put mine in a brand new plastic carrier bag & nobody says anything!  What, it shouldn't be plastic?

Maybe I should put mine in a box in a box in a box. And it's cardboard!  Then, my customers will be totally awed!

Fraud pays. Honest dealing does not. This is what this post is about.

There Is No Place To Sell In SG & Carousell Buyer Review

I have been trying for years.  Don't tell me there are many online sites because I have tried them. Don't tell me to set up a stall because I have also tried it.

Ebay SG. In the same time I posted the same items on Ebay SG & Carousell, I sold 4 items on Carousell.  On Ebay SG, all I got was "watchers" & 0 sales.  Very rare to have a buyer.

Between Ebay SG & Carousell, it's clear who the winner is.

But don't be happy yet.

Carousell is pretty much dead for items above $50, unless it's a special occasion or season such as X'mas or Valentine's.  Since last year Oct when I joined & the start of 2016, it's been drought season at Carousell.  No Activity. I don't know how long this drought will last. 

Gumtree? Very bad. In the years, I have tried selling different items there,  I got 0 sales. The only enquiry I got was from a Nigerian scammer last year regarding a pre-order coffee machine that he didn't understand was pre-order.  Items I listed on Gumtree over the years were brand new or pre-order. [Depends on what you're selling.].

Facebook? Very bad for trying to sell anything. 1) Ad gets deleted. 2) People go there to look at stupid photos of stupid people & things. Not to buy. This point was already mentioned by an online review site.

Instagram?  I didn't use it but look. You have to buy Followers? It's that bad. If you have to buy followers, then it means there is no viewship. Just like Twitter which I quit.

Twitter? I signed up & quit because it was a desert.

Locanto SG? Useless for selling things. Only works if you are asking for certain things that people don't want, such as old computers.

STclassifieds? You would think that since it belongs to the country's publishing company, it should work. Stupid site. Should also just close down. No Activity. Difficult to post items. After going through the trouble of finally posting something, no buyers.

ST701? Another stupid site that wastes time posting items but no buyers.

Craigslist SG? Even worse than Ebay SG. Gives you a headache just looking at what people listed. Junk site. No enquiries, no buyers. Waste of time posting there.  Craigslist SG is different compared to US where people do get ... bargains... (which come to think, is bad for me as a seller & thinking of Craiglist hunter on Youtube.). Actually, I think Craigslist is just crap for sellers. Plus, the name is hard to type. Awful name.

OLX SG. That was years ago before they shut down. Managed to sell only 1 or 2 pieces of women's clothes there.

Claseek SG. Nothing happens. Waste time posting there.

All other classifieds ads sites: No activity, no enquiries, no buyers.

Fleamarket stall at Orchard area: Very bad. Paid stall money but sold only 1 piece of skirt that was a loss to me & to a lousy young woman who was rude. Even years now, I still remember her attitude & behavior. Tsk, tsk, tsk.  Very disrespectful. They never once had  the courtesy to look at me or talk to me as a person. Very bad.

The young woman (younger sister, I presume) wanted the skirt & wondered if it could be machine washed. I said yes. But the older woman didn't even look at me & said to her sister, "I don't think it's machine washable.".

Come on. Who is selling that skirt? I am standing there. I am the seller. If you doubt my item, don't buy. Very rude to ignore the seller standing there & just go ahead to say whatever she wants.

Bloody woman. I shouldn't have sold to her. $10 or around that price. Couldn't even cover the $20 or $30 stall rent.

By now, she would be some years older. If she's not already dead. Yes, I am still angry when I think of it now.

Such women. Reminds me of another one I met from Carousell just 2 weeks ago.

She came with her boyfriend. It was her boyfriend who contacted me on Carousell.

We met up. Singaporean Chinese couple.

She completely had no smile when meeting a person for the first time. Man & woman didn't even say "Hi". Her face was black as if I offended her. Didn't even make eye contact. Crazy woman.

Her boyfriend seemed Singaporean.  I assume she was too. Won't be surprised if she isn't.

How can someone be so anti-social? It's just basic ettiquette to at least say "Hi" or smile when meeting someone for the first time. What's the matter with her? Hormonal problem or just rotten?

Even I don't like people but at least I have the courtesy to say "Hi" with a smile when meeting for the first time.

If it's hormonal, she will get worse than just behavioral problems. Hormonal problems are serious.

As it was a men's item & since he was the one who contacted me, I assumed the man was buying it. But it turned out she was the one who wanted it. I know because he held up the item & suggested that it was suitable for her purpose (whatever that is) & she gave a nod.

The instant she took hold, she was very rough with it. 

I stood there watching quite appalled by her behavior. I was thinking if that's the way she was going to handle it, it isn't going to last in her hands. And I suddenly feared that she wouldn't buy (which means, I would have to take back the item that her hands just mauled.).

He fingered the front of it & nothing more while she groped it. I felt like my poor brand new item was being raped in front of my eyes. I silently apologized to it for having to sell it to such people.


Done, he asked if it was satisfactory. She gave a nod. Then he handed me the money which he already had in his hand.  I gave him back a dollar change.

When I told bro, he said such a woman thinks she's a princess. He said there are many women like that. I said it's completely appalling.

I think as Singaporeans, they are even worse than the foreigner buyer who first bought from me.

That foreigner was 20 minutes late & no apology. Stone-faced when he appeared, not even a "hi". And I was upset with him. But at least, he was satisfied with seeing only a certain part of the item that I took out to show him (I think he was in a hurry to go). It would be quite difficult to pull it out & put it back into its protective cover. He didn't rough handle it or anything. Just touched to feel it. Paid easy too.

How can Singaporeans' behavior lose to a foreigner?  I expected Singaporeans to be way better.
