Hi BS, KL,

I have just received the credit card statement. The exchange rate for our amazon book order is 7.9.

For BS :-
Artemis Fowl (23.1)
Total cost = 4.99/6*1 + 4.99 +23.1
US$ 28.92 i.e. HK$228.5
I will put our txns in a spreadsheet and send over to you. Highly likely that you are my creditor. I have to transfer money to you.

For KL :-
Artemis Fowl (23.1)
Warriors (23.56)
Warriors - Prophecy (23.56)
Total cost = 4.99/6*3+4.99*3+23.1+23.56+23.56
US$87.69 i.e. HK$ 692.8

I will send my a/c details to you via PM.

haha Che,

I did think of having one if I cannot find a job but think deeply, it's risky. Let me enjoy the summer first

RMM.

Congrats to Rachel!

BS,
Got my transfer yet? Did you see anywhere I can buy the lego ambulance which is in the 2008 catalogue?

I read an interesting news from Apple Daily yesterday:

「 Jai ho!好嘢!」本周三是英語的重要里程碑:第 100萬個英文字將要誕生。多個新興生字,如因金像電影《一百萬零一夜》紅爆全球的"Jai ho"和"slumdog",還有中式英文"chengguan",都有機會成為第 100萬個英文字。

據美國全球語言監察組織( Global Language Monitor)統計,目前英文字總數已超過 999,927個,以平均 98分鐘有一個新字誕生的速度計算,到香港周三下午 6時 22分,就會迎來第 100萬個新字。按目前英語使用趨勢,第 100萬個字「誕生於印度或中國的機會」跟來自英美一樣大。

但絕不是任何字一出現就被視為新字,而是要有「持久力」,使用上要廣度和深度,不只是美加人士明白,而是要全球操英語人士也使用,以及在媒體出現至少 2.5萬次。

不少語言學家卻認為,根本沒可能計算英文字數量,但全球語言監察組織負責人帕亞克不管,反而說:「英文已成為首個真正的世界語言。」
《印度時報》/加拿大電視台網站


第 100萬個英文字可能是……
Chengguan:中式英文, 4月網上熱傳中國「城管打人秘笈」,外國傳媒廣泛報道, chengguan成熱門詞

Alcopops:來自澳洲,正深受澳洲青少年喜愛的甜味飲品

Finanial Tsunami:金融海嘯

Zombie Bank:靠政府介入注資才能勉強營運的「喪屍銀行」

Jai Ho!:歡呼聲如 hurray!萬歲!

Chiconomics:經濟實惠追求時尚

Recessionista:不景氣下手頭緊絀,仍然時尚的慳家潮人

Mobama:美國第一夫人米歇爾的時裝品味,如「這裙子很 mobamaish」

Octomom:八胞胎母親

Slow food:不食快餐,食慢餐

Green washing:將老牌產品重新包裝成環保產品

E-vampire:形容電器在待用狀態中仍繼續用電

Chuddies:印度式英語,女裝內衣

De-follow:在社交網站上不再追看某人的最新消息

De-friend:在社交網站上不再追看某朋友的新消息,比 de-follow嚴重

Web2.0:新世代互聯網,網民不再被動地接收訊息,可主動創造資訊

Toki Pona:是一個加拿大人圍繞道教哲學設計的人工語言,也是唯一有商標的語言

MillionWordWord:若無合資格新字,這字會成為第 100萬個英文字

Slumdog:印度貧民窟居民

Wonderstar:像蘇珊博伊爾( Susan Boyle)超出預期一夜成名的新星

Bangsters:波蘭用語,手法像黑幫( gangster)的銀行家( banker)

Seatmates of size:美國航空公司委婉語,指噸位大到佔孖位的乘客

Carbon neutral:透過抵銷措施,中和碳排放量

Overseas Contingency Operations:奧巴馬政府對前朝反恐戰的形容

Phelpsian:像美國飛魚費斯在京奧奪八金一般,在某範疇擁有絕對優勢

Sexting:發送裸照、淫照、性愛內容的電郵或手機訊息

Quendy-Trendy:英國青少年用來形容新潮或新款的潮語

BS,

Yes, this is the one, $199 is too expensive, please help to check Thanks!

Jun's new target #7641 City corner

AUD 99.99, considering the AUD exchange rate, it's quite high to buy it now, but I was tempted while my friend is coming back from Aus the end of the month. Is it available at MK yet?

Jun's new target #7641 City corner

AUD 99.99, considering ...


7641 = US$59.99
==> approx $600 in HK gwa.
Now selling in Yahoo for HK$750.
Better wait for PTU, or you ask somebody to bring it back from Aust.

I know some water goods shops import from Aust / NZ when the forex rate is attractively low (eg below $5 for A$1)

Re : Ambulance
Did you call up BShop (Sino Ctr / CWB) to check ?
They are more likely ga woh.
Will ask a friend's hubby to check Mkk for you.
