DisneystoryHouse was on hiatus

I may deeply apologetic about being on hiatus for such a long time, after a period of crazy catching and searching a new meaning for my new-found hobby. The economy haven't been kind to all, and despite not being hit by the economic downturn directly, it sent me thinking and re-thinking about my wastefully extravagant ways.

I used to define myself as someone who catches for my own collection, and of course to satisfy my particular desire, but as it seems, I end up selling away my own collections due to space constraints and I have to be more selective. For me, even though cash is not of great essence as of now, it is a hassle trying so hard to catch something and then sell it at a price below-cost.

But this period of bad econmonic prospects might have brought healthy business to the UFO-catching business. From my observation, there is more people willing to fork out a few bucks to try out on the machines. As usual, Singaporeans love to gamble. And during times of bad, they eat cheaper, spend less, be thrifty, but gamble more and are willing to spend on "opportunities". My own definition of this in singlish - "KIOSAI". and you will be surprised at how badly people want those toys with their pathetic 1 or 2 gold coins. I get totally disgusted, but bad times bring out the worst of people, which will continue to prevail until who knows when?
