a lesson worth 490 yuan


day 2 - sunny gold street market - 4.00pm (local time)

(gambar sbelah bukan kat sunny gold...saje jek letak..hahahaha)
sunny gold street market nih jual mcm2 brg murah....kirenye nih cm petaling street la kalau kat m'sia...kat beijing ni ade 2,3 tempat mcm nih....n kalau sape2 yg x thn nafsu,leh hilang beratus2 yuan kat tmpt cmni....

the con begins....

i was wondering around in the mall xtau nk bli ape....nk rembat souvenir for my frens, tp xde duit...dlm wallet tgl rm10 jek...mane laku kat beijing...
then tgh jalan2, tbe2 nmpk my 2 sisters kat dlm satu kedai souvenir....join la diorg skali....diorg tgh bargain.....igtkan bargain ape...rupenye tgh bargain *tut* (name souvenir dirahsiakan...:P)....

my sis: how much is this?
amoi : if tourist from us or england i sell this at 345 yuan..but only for you aaa...i sell this at 150 yuan..you wanna buy?

ble dah dgr 150, ape lg, i used my bargaining skill la...

me : aiya...we dont have much money now la...this is my last day in beijing (tipooo... :P) give us more discount la...
amoi : how much do you want?
(my sis wanna put 100 yuan but after getting signals from me, i asked her to put 50 yuan)
my sis : 50 yuan can?
amoi : (ngn ala2 muke tekejut cm br tgk kucing pkai boxer) are you crazee??? that is so low....
my sis : we buy this for 7 pieces! so all together 350 yuan..is that ok?
amoi: no! 7 pieces 700 yuan!
me : we add one more...we buy eight! 600 yuan? ok?
amoi : 610!
me and my sis : deal!
(act the bargaining process was longer than this...tp kene pendekkan la...kang nnt boring lak....)

pastu kteorg pn after dah pau few yuan from our beloved dad and kak long, kteorg blah la dr kedai tu.....

in my mind : kalau 8 pieces 610 yuan, each dah 76.25yuan....ok la tu.....

few minutes later, kak long dtg from don't know where,asking me...

kak long : wan, td wan bli *tut* tu brape yuan 1?
me : 76.25 yuan..nape?
kak long : hahahahaha...akak bli 15 yuan jek kat kedai tu..(sambil tunjuk satu kedai yg bukan kedai yg kteorg bli td...)
my dad : ayah pn td bli bnde tu dpt 20 yuan jek....tp kat kedai yg lain dari korg la...
me : (dgn muke keciwa n xtau nk ckp ape..) yeke?...ok.....

if kteorg beli kat kedai yg kak long beli tu td, kalau beli 8 baru 120 yuan...kteorg kene 610 yuan...so 610-120=490 yuan.....
hurmmmm...bile tgk muke amoi yg tpoo kteorg td tu blk,siyes rase cm nk sepak2 jek....tp kang ade die pgl geng lak...coz situ tmpt diorg kan....kite nih bukan org situ...x pasal2 x blk m'sia...reda jek la even after dat kalau nmpk souvenir tu lg, sure terigt pasal kekurangajaran amoi tu...dah la hodoh...huhu...(sorry ar kasar...tp siyes ger
am!)

day 3 - silk street market - 4.00pm (local time)

kteorg smpai lg kat satu lagi "petaling street" m'sia....kat sini dh pndai sket dah....kali nih dah aim xnk kene tpoo lg...dah dpt lesson worth 490 yuan kot....and nk dipendekkan cte, ble kuar from there, nih la hasilnye....

1.satu jeans levi's 505 (x ori ar...name pn street market) yg berharga 110 yuan (rm59) setelah aku bargain from innitial price yg die offer 800yuan.
2. satu souvenir chinese caligraphy worth 15yuan bargain from 2o yuan + 2 pics with 2 siblings of amoi age 17 and 25 and experience kene ngorat ngn adik amoi....(die main pijak2 kasut gua beb! pastu wat muke comel....bajet tol... :p ....die kureng la...tp akak die lg cun beb!)
3. and few other souvenirs.....

see??? im good at bargaining already maaa...experience of being cheated by 1 amoi has thought me a lot in shopping at beijing...but it comes with price...but hey....only a day after dat, i've become a good bargainer already....

b@nDuNg $oD@'s recipe for today :
So...my conclusion is..to be wiser, you have to sacrifice a lot! same goes to our study la guys....if you wanna fly, (city,kent,soton,herriot watt,LSE,UEA,Swansea) you have to sacrifice your sleep, your leisure time, your energy and lots more to ensure you become wiser and then get a good IB point so that you can go to any universities that you applied to....

and of course, if we failed once, bounce back guys....we are capable of it...(im reminding myself too)...learn from our mistakes....don't be like the lanslide occured somewhere in KL last few days....we have to learn from our mistakes so that we will never fall again...if we bounce back, who knows we will be even better than all the top scorer (whose their great great great grandparents were not originated from Tanah Melayu) in KMB today...but if we didn't, we will fall even deeper....

this is the precious experience that i learnt exclusively from Beijing....syiea syiea (thank you) ;)
