Chairman Meow's Financial Revolution Manifesto

You should know by now that I've embarked on Project Chinese Jew (PCJ)and my great leader of this life-changing project is none other than Ah Meow aka Chairman Meow. My dear OGT said she's the best Chinese Jew and she seemed like she wanted to contend for the position of the Chinese Jew custodian but then nah, Ah Meow trumped her cos Ah Meow is definitely a hell lot PCJ than OGT. OGT buys stuff from Bottega and has set her an on a Rolex Submariner at the end of the year and nope, that's totally un-jew...so Ah Meow is now crowned the ultimate PCJ leader, the great Chairman Meow!

PCJ is cool! PCJ is hot! PCJ is the new black! And PCJ is all the rage! And if you wanna be in the "IN crowd", join the PCJ regime! I've done myself proud today as I managed to go into Watsons wanting to buy tons of stuff, even picking up items in both my hands and then I put them back on the shelf and walked out with NOTHING! Yes, I bought NOTHING, ZILCH! And then I got even more PCJ and took the bus and to suit the PCJ theme, it was a non-air-coned 93! How PCJ is that? (Okay, the only thing PCJ about the bus is that it's bloody hot...almost holocaust like...I dunno why there's still non-aircon buses in Singapore...serious!)

See, if I, the hopeless obsessive compulsive shopaholic, can do PCJ, so can you! But before you join me in my plight to escape poverty and have some savings in the bank for rainy days, you must read the Financial Revolution Manifesto by Chairman Meow...I've kinda summarized her mottos and teachings....

Duke Orange as Chairman Meow...this isn't Ah Meow though...

Chairman Meow's Financial Revolution Manifesto:
  • Do not spend on unnecessary stuff. Just because something is cute doesn't mean you have to buy it if there's no use for it....Chairman Meow's favorite phrase in Chinese is “生不带来,死不带去”....translation...you bring with you to death what you bring to earth when you're born (ie. nothing)....
  • Ask for discount or if there's a special promotion. It's just asking and sometimes you get good deals from just asking...it's also okay and not considered slutty to flirt with hawker center uncles or taxi drivers to get better deal/discount...Chairman Meow says "Just ask cos you never know!"
  • Just because something is cheap doesn't mean you have to buy it. Buy only what you need....bye bye Hello Kitty...sob sob....
  • When it comes to things you need to use/buy on a regular basis, here's the motto: Cheap must buy, free must grab!....stock it up if it's cheap, you save money that way...like if the toiletries/sanitary pads in China Town are cheaper, go there and buy in bulk instead of going to other more expensive places....get a friend to offer to drive you home too...save on cab fare (can't expect you to carry bags and bags of shampoos and Kotex to take bus...our Chairman Meow's very kind that way)
  • Every drop counts, every penny makes a difference...so even if something is just 20 cents cheaper, it is something! In Chairman Meow's own word (verbatim): "This is your hard earned money, you work with idiots everyday to earn this money so even 20 cents is major!"...well said! Long live Chairman Meow!
  • Take public transport like buses and trains...Taxi=Class enemy= Bad
  • It's cool to cut coupons for discount in supermarket or fastfood join...remember, every drop counts...it's your hard earned money!
  • When it comes to cultural stuff like good book (chick lit and rubbish books not counted) and good film (again, no rubbish please), it's okay to spend BUT spend when there's a discount...like the Kinokuniya 20% off or Borders Sales etc....
  • If you see something you're dying to buy. RESIST, my fellow commrade! and wait for at least 48 hours. You don't need to buy it on the spot. If you don't want it after 48 hours, good, if not, you consult Chairman Meow for evaluation....seek Chairman Meow's approval or blessing for your purchase before buying it...Chairman Meow knows what's best for you!
Yup, here's the gist! Ohh if you have got Chairman Meow-ish mottos, let me know!!
