I received an email from Tatarah regarding refunding processing fees for cancelled auctions when I didn’t even pay a single cent. Can’t they target just those who paid? Oh, maybe this is an email to remind you that Tatarah exists.

Just to share with you how much Tatarah earns per auction.

Nintendo Wii 
Retail:$659.00
#07A000C
Purchased by Member ID: 182E4860
SOLD AT $0.36
Source: Tatarah’s website

I’m unsure how much the processing fees was for this product, but I am certain the fees for an iPod was $1 with the product priced at around $348. So for a product priced at $659, automatically if you know your maths, the processing fees should be around $2, or $1.50.

Now we’ll do alittle maths:

Processing fees (Let’s assume) : $1.50
Number of bidders for the Wii (above) : 634
Total processing fees collected: $951.00 (before tax; I remember reading that processing fees include tax - LOL?)
Total processing fees collected: $884.43 (after tax)
Tatarah earns: $225.43 OR MORE

I’m assuming processing fees was $1.50 and not $2.

I conclude

633 of you lost $2 (better luck next time, yea?). Hey, isn’t this same as buying 4D? Muslims, tell me if it’s right to bet. Uhm, is this considered betting? I’m unsure. I just feel this is just like buying 4D and Toto.

Tatarah earnt $225.43 or more (okay, or less). Way to go.

Have you tried Tatarah? How was the experience? How much processing fees did you pay?

I’m alone again this Christmas, Just sitting by the window,
Watching lonesome rain fall, with no one to hold
Hugging myself warm, tears falling like the rain
I searched the sky for a sign, with hope to ease the pain
A tinge of love, maybe, as I asked a thousand times
Where have I left my heart? This lonely heart of mine.
A long long way away from home, Fond memories begin
The first sweet touch of a gentle love still lingers from within
Why have it all gone too fast, and did he stop to care?
Where is the smile I used to know, will it no longer be there?
Dreams of future still remain in this lonely heart of mine,
New Year has come and begun, with the sounds of happy cheers
But im still lonely, a little lost, still holding back my tears,
You said to wait, I understand, this kind of love we have
There’s no promise of what will be or, what will there be left
Our love is like a shadow, which is casted in the dark,
Hidden from the view of the world, never to leave a mark
To love like us, you said, it’s hard, and soon it will end
My heart, I know, maybe it’s true, but I cannot pretend
Love is a choice, and a path, we’ve both wanted to take
Lonely days and broken smile, my decision I’ve made
But yet again, I feel so lonely, without you by my side
To love a man like you, I have, forsaken even my pride
These lonely hours slip on by, but never will you see
I understand you love me too, but you’ve got your family
How lonely sometimes I can be, year after year, the same
I’m that lonely girl in your life..the girl without a name..

Don’t find it weird that I’m writing this kind of topics. Nothing so interesting about my life, except meeting cute little Virginia (actually to get back my iPod nano, but she forgot) for dinner today!

I missed out this entry on Blog Action Day, which was more than a week ago. But nevermind, here’s part 1 of ”How to make the world a better place”!

Reduce, reuse & recycle

Plastic bags (some call it plastic carriers) is what you can start to reduce and reuse from today onwards. I’ll show you some ways I applied it in my life!

Reduce - How do I do it?

When I buy breakfast, the aunties will put my snack in a small paper-bag and will eventually give me a plastic bag to hold the paper-bag. Usually I will reject the plastic bag and hold the paper-bag with the top folded so that no dust can get in.

At Old Chang Kee, the aunties don’t mind giving me more paper-bags to hold my different snacks, but again, I will remind them to put them in the same bag. There was once I got a reply: “Oh, paper bags we can give you more. Very cheap one.” Eh, it’s not about being cheap or not. It’s being environmentally friendly!

When visiting supermarkets or shopping malls, I try to decrease the number of plastic bags I hold on my hands. If I’ve got a bag, I will just keep my receipt and have the items in my bag. If the items are small enough, I’ll keep them in my pocket. Remember, keep your receipt so as not to get into any trouble with the security.

That’s about all for reducing!

Reuse

It’s not hard at all to reuse plastic bags.

I usually will use the bags to line rubbish bins. If the rubbish in the bin are all dry, nothing disgusting, I will just pour all the junk down the chute.

Hey, is it hard to reuse a plastic bag?

Recycle

This is not going to be easy.

Usually we don’t recycle plastic bags, do we?

But here’s something I do. I prefer using plastic bags that are biodegradable. I see some stores using them. They’re of equal quality, actually. Just abit ‘harder’ in texture. When I use these plastic bags, I will not feel bad when I dump them coz I know they’ll degrade sometime soon, in 2 years?

So, this is the part I play to make the world a better place. Have you anything to share?

I seriously don’t understand how other men visit the toilet.

I will often be pissed off when I enter a cubicle and I see the whole toilet dirty. They just cannot aim well (Not to mention some cannot shit well). So, after practicing for over 10 years (daily!) and still cannot aim well? Worse thing is some people who can’t aim are as old as 50-60! I’m not blaming them for their bad eyesight at their age though.

Why not let’s push the blame to youngsters? A step by step guide to using the toilet?

To urinate in a cubicle 

1. Lock the door.
2. Now, unzip your pants. You do not have to unbuckle your pants’ button if you don’t see a need. I usually do coz it’s more comfortable.
3. Stand in position. You can stand on the tiles as provided or just somewhere comfortable. Stand closer to the toilet bowl. This is to prevent your urine from dripping everywhere. (Refer to picture above)
4. Ok, now serious. Pull down your underwear to expose your private part. Very simple step.
5. Step 4 onwards, most men cannot handle it well. Practice makes perfect though. Now, hold your dick with your left hand (or right hand. It’s your choice.) and aim first. I SAID AIM FIRST.
6. Now that you’re sure that your urine will be shot at the right spot? Start urinating.
7. After you’re done, zip up and don’t leave first.
8. Flush water. Lots of people miss this step out. Have some manners please. 

Next

• Practice this a few times daily.
• Drink more water to have more chances.
• Try different angles and different positions
• Don’t give up.

Right & Wrong

Hope this guide is helpful for you.
