[glow=red,2,400] 9 December 2004[/glow] First off, the Teahouse's time thing has gone crazy. I haven't fixed it yet. It became really bad some time ago and I didn't fix it because it's never accurate anyway. These days, it's getting on my nerves because the time is so way off. Will fix it some other time. Second, I finally posted the soft cushion here. Hopefully, somebody will want to buy it.... Third, I opened The Secret Garden. Hope the guys will be happy. It's one of a kind, I think. I don't see this sort of thing in other forums. Lastly....I'm supposed to collect my 9 volumes of that manga which I reserved at the new manga rental shop. I haven't read 9 volumes at one go before and don't know whether I'll be able to meet the due date. For every 10 manga books, I get to rent 1 free. I get 14 days only. I intend to rent all 11 books but how am I going to finish them in 14 days?? As it is, I don't read manga everyday and I read quite slowly. But....I really want the 9 volumes.... Lastly, I won't be announcing the opening of Hidden Door...let's see who discovers it first  |

Today is.....Monday. December something....*looks at calendar*......13th. I hate looking at calendars (especially today). Mm.....don't like to be reminded of time passing.
Today is not a good day. Not happy. I try not to show it. I'm actually annoyed with strangers. I know it's silly. Ahh....forget it *waves it aside*
Feeling a little miserable because I don't know what to do. There are 3 business ideas that I'm doing. The editorial business is already up but not running because I changed my mind about doing it. Now, I'm thinking of starting it again. Advertising. I'm half-hearted.
Then, there's the online anime shop which I'm not sure about. And then, there's another business that I want to launch. Yesterday, I was so confident, I went to buy some of my inventory....now, I'm getting cold feet about doing it because of comments from rude ignorant strangers.
Am I doing the right thing.....? What am I thinking?? I don't know.....I don't know if what I'm doing is right or wrong or even whether I should just go ahead and do it.
And then, I haven't finished the 4 manga books that I rented a week or more ago. They're overdue I think. Fines again. Money going out again. Plus, I have to collect the 9 volume set of manga that I reserved at the new rental shop. I hope the staff is still holding them for me.

Oh, teahouse keeper, you think too much! If you wanna do something that you feel it's the right thing for you, then do it. Don't think about what others think or say about it. Because if you do that, you'll never be able to do what you really want. There's always gonna be someone who oppose you. Plus, it's a stranger, right? So, it should be easier for you to ignore the stranger's remark. Don't worry, I'll support you whatever business you want to run. But, not the financial support, I'm afraid. |

Yeah, poor Ban and Ginji. Every time we talk about money....we end up saying we have none. But I'd rather have your encouragement than your cash. Cash is necessary but without confidence, it's no use. Yeah, I know. I think too much It's a bad habit. Thanks Pippichan for backing me up I can't help seeing Ban with his purple spectacles, giving me an encouraging smile.... Ahhh....if only I had a real-life Ban beside me. I'd feel safe with him. He's so smart, can handle anything  |

yeah, pippiechan, we're always glad when we can keep our cash, aren't we? oh, no need to worry teahouse keeper. i'll say you should give it a shot. otherwise, how would you know if you're gonna succeed or not? i believe, bill gates got laughed too when the first time he started his business. what would happen to him if he got cold feet and called it off? you'll always got us behind your back teahouse keeper. i support you in everything you feel right to do. what does the stranger know anyway? everyone is different and has her own way. cia you, teahouse keeper! (did i write the mandarin phrase/hanyu pingyin right?  hasn't learned it again for a long time. forget lots of them. what a shame, ay? ;D |

OHH!!! Rhein! You know Chinese?! I didn't know I'd feel this way, but when I saw your words "cia you", I felt happy and surprised! Actually, it's "jia you" Thanks, Rhein When did you learn Chinese? Was it taught in school? Hahaha....Pippichan, you're always so scared of losing money You hide your cash inside your pillow, right? Don't worry. Tonight I'll be very quiet when I exchange your pillow with another one.....  Mm....today is a good day (now I feel that everyday is a good day). Rainy and windy, just like most days this month. I'm still finalising plans for my business which I am now very confident will succeed. There're still things to be worked out and I hope to get a website up by the end of this month. With all the mangas in the way, I don't know whether the website will be up soon. I don't want to push it till January next year because this is the best time to launch it. The website should be simple to do, but it'll have ads. I'm bothered by that but I don't want to pay for webhosting. I still worry about a lot of things, but I think I should just go ahead and do it. I'm feeling very confident today. |

i learnt it in college. but actually my mom is really good at it. we have a strong fujianesse root though we (her children) can't speak good chinesse. ;D glad that you feel confident again. optimism is always a good thing for business. anyway, i'm curious abt what kind of business that you wanna do now. are you going to make a new website or you'll just modify this one? you're designing and creating it yourself? no webhosting? wow!  i admire your ability in that area. i'm not that good at computer. btw, don't forget to share pippie's money w/ me as you succeed in exchanging it. and perhaps we should put a handycam to record pippie's face as she notices it. it will be fun! |

Hah! You thought you could get my money that easily!? Even if you steal my pillow, you'll find nothing but a mouse trap! Hahaha... I see you get your hand trapped there! Hm... teahouse keeper's new business... could that be something with hentai issue in it? |

Mouse trap eh? Heard that, Rhein? She's got a mouse trap in there. OK, we know what to do. Get that mouse trap, Rhein. I'll get the cash. Oh...don't forget to set up the handycam. Place it where we can see every part of her reaction when she wakes up and finds her money gone. MuHAHAHAHA!!!! Oh yeah, bring rope also, in case we need to tie her down. Oh, Rhein?! You're Fujian "ren" (person)? That's interesting. I'm half Hokkien and half Cantonese I can speak a bit of both, but like you, I'm not good at these languages at all. My Chinese is also not very good, but better than my Hokkien and Cantonese I was brought up speaking and thinking in English. When young, I had great difficulty speaking to my grandmother and grandfather (when he was alive). It was quite comical sometimes because I couldn't express myself in their language. Once when I was a kid and stayed with my grandparents, I wanted to bathe but didn't know how to ask for a towel I didn't know the word for "towel" Ah, no, Rhein. It's a new website, not modifying this one. A new website that's hosted free, so I don't have to pay for it. Hahahaha....when it comes to computers, I'm quite hopeless too The Teahouse is hosted free and runs by itself. I didn't create it from scratch. Yeah, it's quite easy to design a website. After designing it, you just put it up on the Net with a free webhosting service. My editorial service was set up this way. Problem is, free webhosting comes with ads. Anybody can put up websites and launch forums. It's free and easy Ah....Rhein and Pippichan want to know what business I'm doing. Yeah, it's very illegal. Better not to know. Very Hentai and everything. |

*making a call from my cellphone* Hello? Police? I wanna report a dangerous person named Teahouse keeper. Yup, I believe the keeper is up to something against the law. Yea, yea, the keeper's got a new secretive, suspicious business and website. Better arrest the keeper before any damage done to our society. Oh? You're coming right away? That's great! Thanks, Officer! ;D

Wait! WAIT!!! It's all a misunderstanding!! *drags feet* Rhein!!! RHEIN!!! *clings to the door* HELP!!!! ARRGGGHHHHHH..............!!!!!!!! |

*out of jail and standing outside Pippichan's house* Soon.....Pippichan, you'll beg for mercy. When that time comes, I'll enjoy every minute of it. *smiles wickedly and walks off* [glow=red,2,300]Sunday 9 January 2005[/glow]Finally have time to come to the Teahouse after being tied up elsewhere. I'm late everywhere here and I'm hoping to make up for it very soon......Very glad to see everyone so happy and having fun Glad to see things moving by themselves and things are alive. I notice many new people signing in and wonder where they come from since I haven't been sending out invitations. Strange. Am guessing that it could be Iwakami who said she's going to tell everyone about the Teahouse in Deviantart forum. Not sure if this is the case. If it's not, I really don't know why there are more new members coming in. Mysterious. Mmm.....although it's great that new people are signing up, I'd be happier if they joined in. |

Not afraid, Pippichan? Wait till I get you while you're sleeping I move like a shadow, faster than you can see. You won't be able to escape. HAHAHAHA...... Ah....not the same old people. There are some new people posting, for instance, Naomi's friends. But yeah, the number of people who sign up and those who post don't match up. It's strange but it happens in every forum. Even forums with thousands of members on the list, you'll notice that only a few regular ones are posting. But the same old people are great too You guys are more relaxed with one another now. Some of the posts are really very hilarious. |

Ahhhh!!! I'm finally back from renovating the Teahouse. I should tell you guys that I don't post when I'm renovating. It distracts my super concentration and ultra-fine focus. Ahhh....it's such a relief to start posting again. You guys must be wondering what I've been doing. Well, I've been here all along, doing nothing but renovating. Didn't you hear the sawing, hammering and drilling?? Mmm...I'll be inviting more people again soon. The Haou Airen fans *takes the blueprint from Rie* Good job, Rie!! Just ignore Pippichan. Yeah, Rie, I'm going to do more than just steal her cash. It's not about cash anymore. It's about....REVENGE. She'll pay for what she did to me. Booby traps and bodyguards. Hmmpf. Rie, I forgive you for not rescuing me that time. Good thing you stayed out of jail!! Come, let's plan how to get even.... |

Ehh....? Pippichan says she'll be waiting....How come she's not scared? She must be up to something....
Ahh....besides Pippichan and Reverie, I don't know whether you guys ever drop by my little cottage. But I just wanna say that I've been trying very hard to answer all your posts whenever possible. These days, I've been very busy with very illegal business. So, you'll have to forgive me if I haven't posted. I will answer all your posts as fast as I can......You must wait for me!!!!

Er.....*takes out gun and points it at Pippichan* Give me the videocam. [glow=red,2,300]2 February 2005 Wednesday[/glow][/u][/size] Saw a new member register today. Name of Granzon. Who is Granzon and how did he/she find the Teahouse? At the moment, trying to reply to all posts that I haven't replied since....last year. Gomen ne, everyone. This illegal business of mine is driving me crazy. I have to promote it, think of ways to promote it and keep my eye out for opportunities to promote it. You get the idea. it's promote, promote, promote all the way. How I wish I had heaps of money. I can pull out full colour page advertisements in the magazines and newspapers. But not to worry. The Teahouse is still my love and I'll still keep inviting people and fixing it. As long as you guys are happy, I'm happy |

Won't give it to you! *sticking out tongue* I can't understand why you have headache about money and promoting work. Just use your gun to rob a bank and force the magazine guy to print your ad in large size and full color! ;D Hmm... I wonder what's your ad's line gonna be...? Hmm... maybe something like this: TEAHOUSE KEEPER, THE EXPERT IN ALL KINDS OF ILLEGAL BUSINESS, IS READY TO HELP YOU WITH ALL YOUR ILLEGAL NEEDS ANYTIME, ANYWHERE. |
