I am making an offer to anyone who is interested in buying an original Battlefield1942 cd.
The set includes 2 dics, and paper packs. It comes with a brand new cd key. All for 39.90. Since it does'nt include a box and a mannual guide, the price is reduced from 49.90. We can discuss the price, selling as low as 20 dollars(minimum).

christmas is a joyous occasion. Everyone can feel it everywhere in town. Yes, people spraying those things at you when you walk pass them. Thats pretty dumb, but who cares? It happens only once a year.
well so my friend kzh happened to introduce me some xmas job, promising great pay between 100 to 150. So we were kind of attracted to it. The interview went smoothly and then xmas eve came. Teamed up with 3 strangers, we made our way out of the office, carrying bags containing light sticks, reindeer hats, sprays and poppers. What happened next is totally dumb. We got rivals all around us. They sell better and more attractive products than us. Every corner of the streets were filled with them. We were stretched out thin.
The price we were supposed to sell was totally dumb too. 3 cans of sprays for 10 bucks. Bloody hell, who wants to buy? Our rivals selling 5 cans for 10 bucks. 1 light stick costs 2 bucks. -.-'' . So we made deals with customers and we took the initiative to slash the price. The boss wasnt happy, his face looks like he was about to burst. Because of what we did, the second round of sales was getting better. Why? Boss finally agree to change the price.
I did'nt know our sales is illegal. Chased away my policemen and running away. But Boss said that there are no more licence to apply for this kind of sales. How dumb can it be.
So after the really pathetic countdown, we finally sat down at the carpark. It was 2 hours to our freedom. There we sat down, stoning. But people recognise us, they keep coming to us, buying the sprays from us. The sprays quality sucks, compared to our rivals. I'm glad there are many kind souls there to help us. Esp., the group of bengs and lians. They kept coming back for more, so we happily took their money. Sitting down beside us, is the some tourists from god-knows-where. They are'nt Singaporean. You know how i know? They emptied all their singapore currency and gave it to us. That was when i realise, they were'nt singaporean.
ok 8 hours of dumb work. 6pm to 2am. we did only 80 plus dollars in sales. We set our goals before. 180 bucks for the sales. But what happened? 2am..2am, sharp. we reported back to our gathering point. We expect everyone to arrive but it was damn empty. We realise they left us without informing us to come back. What the hell. So we walk quite a distance just to hail a bloody taxi. Lucky they were kind enough to pay for us the fare. That's pretty good i suppose.
Next day, we went and collect our pay. I spent 45 mins travelling from Bukit Gombak to Bugis. Big deal? Probably not. Still suffering from the fatigue i had during the sales, we went into the office. It still looked like a cheaters' den.
"42.50 in total for the both of you"
I was -.-'' . 42.50 divide 2. You do the math. Our transport allowance is included. So imagine, our share minus 10 bucks. Thats our pay for 8 hours selling dumb things. So i turned to my friend, who is as -.-'' as me and said, "Thanks buddy. I really appretiate that you introduce me that job."

The last week of holidays starts when i end this post. I've got nothing to do. No work, no money. Why no money? After getting my pay, i spend everything that is in my wallet to buy a WW2 collection game set. (thats why i have 2 copies of bf now). The money in my wallet is not enough too. So i had to borrow money from kzh. How pathetic.
New year's eve is coming again. The same carnage is going to happen. Well, what can i say? I have the money to enjoy new year's eve and not the money to go back home. -.-'' . So we will see how.
