let's see..

wow.. so many things have been taking place in my life..life's a whirl..

So yeah, on tuesday, we had to sell items again..and i made the biggest transaction! i sold a Swatch watch for $45..original price was $70 by the way. God, it was hell of a bargain. Mr Wong was interested in the watch that i was introducing to him. When told of the $70, he started bargaining. His first price? $40. So i tried a barter trade..A Mont Blanc pen worth $300 for a Swatch watch worht $70..Crazy? Yeah, definitely.. But i still went ahead and finally he said, "honestly, i gave away my pen." i was like "...okay?" So he made his last offer $35..and i upped it to $45 before selling it.. So not too bad..luckily the stuff were sponsored..so whatever money is good.. And Mr. Lui did not buy anything. He's our principal, by the way..despite lotsa persuading..he still did not buy anything..bad example..

Ah yes, a topic: Mr. Lui(pronounced as looi, not loo-ey or looney etc etc)
Was discussing this with Meichi about school and this popped up.. So, Mr. Lui is the first non-brother to be a principal of SJI(which he pronounces as SJ-ay) His monday morning speech is dreaded by many..moans and groans can be heard when he just walks up to the rostrum..so he will go on and on about some topic and most of the time, he will deviate from the topic itself..you can hear him deliver a whole paragraph on something and you will be left wondering: "so what's his point?" In literature, there' s this thingy known as PEE(point, evidence, elaboration) For him, it's EEEEE(e) aka elaboration^5 and evidence at times..the thing missing is: point..Sometimes he talks about your pay-rens(parents in his pronounciation) and howl(how) wee(we) can work towards a better SJ-ay..yeah yeah...zzzzzz
Sometimes, you just wanna go up there and shake him...

Oh well, time to sleep..BYE!!
