Yes, you are right. If the victim does not tell his parent, the bully will continue his bad deeds. Fortunately, piglet has told you. The bonding between you and piglet must be very strong la... Your investment in the Lego, horrible books and comics etc gets its high ROI (return on investment) la.... he..he..
I am holding my fort re complaining to teacher, cos our witness (also classmate) told bully yesterday that I was planning to tell the teacher, so I'm waiting to see if bull ...
Just checked with the seller for the outstanding HS mag. He forgot to mail the remaining 25 issues to me. How comes!! Anyways, he said he would post them to me tomorrow. How can one be so absent-minded!!
:tongue: :tongue:
BS,
Bullying thing is a headache. Jun has been kinda bullied by his cousin, in the case that his cousin is gifted (we believed he is gifted and hyper-active) and not really intended to bully but "played" with Jun in a what-he-thought funny way.
I received the credit card statement today and just noticed that my account has been credited weeks before for the HG box set. Then, I checked my amazon account and found that the the transaction has been cancelled with the reason being "Dear customer This item is not available for international delivery Your account has been credited with £59.50 regards abbookshop".
I am very sure that I had checked the description that the seller "abbookshop" is willing for international delivery. How comes it cancelled the transaction then?
Moreover, I remembered that I have the experience that amazon would not allow posting overseas if the seller does not state it is willing for international delivery. So, for this case, amazon should have prevented me from picking the seller "abbookshop" if it is not ready for international delivery.
At the end, because of exchange rate difference, I have to a difference of HKD 8. Though it is just a trivial amount, we customers should not be responsible for paying the difference. amazon!!
I am now checking with the other sellers. I will dump the description this time before placing the order.
Experience learnt the hard $$$ way.
Well, think of it this way :
we are already fortunate that we "only" lost HK$8 for forex + waiting time, and not the entire cost for non-delivery.
Buying cows over the mountain is never easy, usually spend $ school fees to learn the ways of buying.
Kinda quiet, with holiday season and some buddies not in HK.
BTW, I got my Now.Com delivery today, to accompany 2 small lego sets I bought sev pairs of jeans (again), and lots of Hanes (underwear for pig family).
Piglet just started on the HS mag #21. No need to invite him to read these. Also he finished the Evil Inventions book already. But the books take longer than the mags.
Actually I tried to start on #21 yesterday, quite a lot of info in one mag.
Piglet has 5/6 papers back already, marks = roller coaster again, never a dull moment.
Your plot to get piglet indulged in the HS world is working wo... That's good.
The day before, I brought the kids to the Shenzhen Book City Mall. Of course, my son is not interested in the simplified chinese books. We found a toy shop whose set up is similar to Micro Planet in Hong Kong. We found Lego Exoforce. So, bought one for him. Now, he is setting up his Exoforce empire on his desk and play all day. Moreover, he is referring to the Lego catalog given by you days ago. He has not read a thing since he finished his exam last week. Have to pull him back after the Easter holidays.

Too bad.
There is a Lego smallish exibition, in TKO Sun Do Sing Mall (Metro City Shopping Mall, Po Lam MTR station). Plan to go later today, plus YMT, cos piglet want to buy some parts to enlarge his already v big empire.
He has a total of around 16 base plates, and spread them on the floor. About 5x2 are occupied by 2 sets of Knights and skeletons with bows and arrows and horses, armour, plus castle structures, and fighting each other.
There is another outer rim, L-shaped, of baseplates, for roads for his Lego (and a little Tomy) vehicles.
And he want to build his Tomy train and rails too.
Told him he has to find more $$$ to buy a really big house !!
We found some photos of some mad Lego fans in US, who has an entire room, at least 300 sq ft, all Lego Star Wars ! Should be 2 different people.
1. The sets are vvv expensive ones now.
2. Together they have nearly all the recognizable sets of Lego Star Wars.
Will post the link here if I can find it.

GN4,
Is that real Lego or Kai Mong ?
Thought Lego was expensive in China ?
Any other valuable sets being sold cheap there ?
Well if you still want Exoforce, there are 2 sets in Sing Lego shop being sold at a discount, can order ga. Take a look.
The Exoforce is real Lego. The price is YMB 198. Not sure if it is cheap or not. However, newest items like Star Wars are not available there. I have to buy one for my son, no matter what the price is. Otherwise, I cannot have silence for the rest of my trip.
May I have the website of the Sing Lego shop then?

scroll down to the bottom and there are 2 sets.
Can buy and get free delivery to my cousin's place if you buy $100 or more. I have one or 2 items I can buy but not expensive ones.
Either ask him to mail back, or if you can wait till ~early July we might be going again. V cheap air fares on or before 30 June, $1000 ticket plus a few hundred for tax and fuel surcharge. haha
How come twin likes Exoforce so much ?
Cos it looks like Gundam ?
