2 watermelons, which one do you choose ?

Would you pay US$10 for a water melon ? I won’t, but Kuanhoong would :) I hope he won’t get mad with me with his water melon picture :)

This is what he paid for US$10.

This is what I pay for US$2.99 without the orchid, of course.

If photographic technique is not an issue :) which one would you pay for it, my dear readers ?

I laughed so hard when I read the comment from one of my reader ant :”The bottom one look like already busuk, so pale edi, but maybe inside is same same,”

So I add on to assure him it is not busuk :)

    Neither. Both cost too much! Hahahahah!

  2. cirnelle // Jul 19, 2007 at 5:39 pm

    Actually, Kuanhoong’s one looks quite worth it. For US$10, you get a watermelon, half a bottle of water, a pack of tissue paper and a menu selection of exotic looking fruits and food.

    Cirenlle, only u can come out with that, he he he he.
    I don’t see no tissue paper.
    I only say compare water melon, cha bo :)

  4. 38 kia // Jul 19, 2007 at 8:34 pm

  5. Jamy // Jul 19, 2007 at 8:49 pm

  6. kuanhoong // Jul 19, 2007 at 9:49 pm

    Yeah Made in Japan is better than Made in Malaysia or Made in USA :P

  7. wuching // Jul 20, 2007 at 3:28 am

    that water melon will give u eternal life!

  8. Jamy // Jul 20, 2007 at 3:33 am

    Wuching,
    Mana u pergi, u lost taking bus or what ?
    Meme sudah done, u ada check or not ?

  9. Jamy // Jul 20, 2007 at 3:34 am

    Aiya, Kuanhoong,
    Why u so like Japan one ?

  10. Ken Xu // Jul 20, 2007 at 7:55 am

    hahaha May be I should show off some “Made In Indonesia” Watermelon!
    Cheap and tasty
    ;p

  11. JennyHow // Jul 20, 2007 at 10:26 am

    since made in japan watermelon so sellable, you guys better go sell MIJ watermelon la, rather blogging so hard for money. what about selling them in ebay? oopps, postage will costs more than watermelon i think *gasp!

    i think i caught jerry’s 38ness liao!

  12. JennyHow // Jul 20, 2007 at 10:28 am

    and jamy, i think u should not take the pics when there’s so much light infront of you from your window or door (dunno what).

    you should let stand in at the opposite end, should look better i think.

  13. Benedict Herold // Jul 20, 2007 at 1:17 pm

    I not gonna get either one.!!! Does anyone will pay double the amount for a watermelon ?? go for “Made in India”. It just costs not more than $1. Moreover taste guaranteed :-)

  14. Jamy // Jul 20, 2007 at 4:29 pm

    Oh, Jenny, is that the trick, thank you for the heads up, no wonder Kuanhoong water melon sells so well :)

  15. Jamy // Jul 20, 2007 at 4:36 pm

    Ok, now we are getting hot now !
    These are votes here :
    Cirnelle : Malaysia
    Benedict : India
    Ken : Indonesia
    Jenny, 38kia and Kuanhoong : Japan
    Jamy : America

    I wonder how about Bee from Travel and living, BE from A Malaysian in France and Colormecrazy AMalaysianAustralian in Germany would vote. I shall invite them in to vote ! And we shall see which get the highest vote.

    I shall think of a Floridian native price for the winner, ha ha ha ha.

  16. Neo // Jul 20, 2007 at 6:23 pm

    I very poor, so if there is made in India watermelon sell in Malaysia at the cheapest price, I would buy that!

  17. BeeLee // Jul 20, 2007 at 6:46 pm

    I would go for Malaysia watermelon since I’m currently staying in Malaysia, and the last 2 times I bought the watermelon they were really sweet & juicy, only thing is that I bought too many types of fruit & I didn’t pay attention to the price (FYI: I don’t pay attention to the price of most things but I swear I will change this stupid habit from now on, in fact I had started changing, now I know how much my son’s formula milk costs etc).

  18. BlurMommy // Jul 20, 2007 at 7:15 pm

    Jamy, I support u ok? 2.99 cheap cheap mah!! : )

  19. Jamy // Jul 20, 2007 at 9:27 pm

    Bee , congratulation on that :”FYI: I don’t pay attention to the price of most things but I swear I will change this stupid habit from now on, in fact I had started changing, now I know how much my son’s formula milk costs etc).”

    The journey of a mother :) Join the party, girl :)

    How com when we were single, we can live life without knowing price , ha ? :)

    I lived all my life without knowing how much a pack of rice cost ? :)

    Thank you for participate on the voting.

  20. Jamy // Jul 20, 2007 at 9:28 pm

    Blur mommy,
    U very ada hati one lah.
    I will remember you for very very long if my memory don’t fail me :)
    Cheers !
    Jamy

  21. papajoneh // Jul 20, 2007 at 9:35 pm

    Ok Jamy… since your water melon cheaper than KH, I pay for your melon. :)

    But just for the heck of really paying it, I won’t buy both your melons. Too damn expensive. :D

  22. JennyHow // Jul 20, 2007 at 9:47 pm

    And another trick Jamy, the pepsi bottle indicates how big the watermelon is because we all roughly knows the size of the pepsi bottle.

    But we don’t know how big is your vase leh. So, photographs, one of the most important aspects of selling in eBay!

    Sorry, i’m crazy. eat sleep ebay & blogging :p

  23. Jamy // Jul 20, 2007 at 10:16 pm

    Neo,
    Sounds like you are voting for Indian’s watermelon.
    Indian’s Watermelon got 2 votes now.
    Now we see if Ken’s cheap war strategies work or my branding theory work in this watermelon
    Cheers and stay tune.
    We are still waiting for Bee Ean and ColorCrazy, orang European !

  24. Jamy // Jul 20, 2007 at 10:17 pm

    PapaJoneh,
    If you are not going to choose one of these, are you going to buy Indian’s watermelon or Sabah’s watermelon :) ?

  25. Jamy // Jul 20, 2007 at 10:20 pm

    Jenny,
    U never fail to amaze me !
    Good point !
    I believe the the most important ingredients of a successful entrepreneur is U eat, U sleep, U go jamban, U walk, U talk, U blog, U yawn, U sing (like our friend, U know lah, I don’t want to mention name :), U think of your buzinesss :). Betul ? :)

  26. cirnelle // Jul 21, 2007 at 12:00 am

    This is turning out to be one helluva Tembikai Lelong. Going once? Going twice? Dah jual!!!

  27. papajoneh // Jul 21, 2007 at 12:39 am

    I definitely support my own country’s product. So, Sabah Melon it is. :D
    LOL. Ok, u got me to vote there. LOL.

  28. Neo // Jul 21, 2007 at 2:51 am

    Is there any Indian watermelon in Malaysia? :)

  29. J.T. // Jul 21, 2007 at 2:53 am

    I wouldn’t pay for either. I don’t fancy watermelon too much. It is good though for a hot afternoon. I haven’t eaten one in 8 months. :)

  30. Jamy // Jul 21, 2007 at 3:34 am

    JT.
    My hubby does not like watermelon until one of our friends who said water melon contain one of the same ingredient for chemotherapy (cancer prevention), he eat very lazin now :)

  31. Jamy // Jul 21, 2007 at 3:34 am

    Neo, go to benedict blog and get aquatain with him, he will tell you and u 2 might se up a business together selling watermelon to the US. I will be the packer here lah :)

  32. Chee Kui // Jul 21, 2007 at 3:40 am

    i don’t need to spend any money to eat water melon, because i will ask the melons for free. HAHAHAHA. Either one will do ;)

  33. Jamy // Jul 21, 2007 at 8:49 am

    Che Kui,
    It is wonderful to hear that you get your melons for free.
    Might be you like to share you 5 strategized way to get a free lemon :) Then Kuanhoong and me might save our total RM 45.50 and might be we will consider sening over to your paypal account :)
    Have a wonderful weekend, you take care :)

  34. zewt // Jul 22, 2007 at 7:23 am

  35. ant // Jul 22, 2007 at 9:53 am

    The bottom one look like already busuk, so pale edi, but maybe inside is same same, if being malaysian cheapskate sure will choose the bottom one :P

  36. simple american // Jul 23, 2007 at 11:04 am

    Hope I am not to late to do my civic duty. :)

  37. Jamy // Jul 23, 2007 at 12:36 pm

    ant,
    I have added the inside photo just for you, my dear :)

  38. Bee Ean // Jul 23, 2007 at 1:18 pm

    I will go for the cheapest available in the market with quality guarantee. Don’t care which country it’s from.

  39. Jamy // Jul 23, 2007 at 3:03 pm

    Bee Ean,
    I hope u are ok, I have not seen u online for a couple of days.
    Aiyo, why u not patriotic one :) “I will go for the cheapest available in the market with quality guarantee. Don’t care which country it’s from.”

  40. ant // Jul 23, 2007 at 8:34 pm

    Hahaha, I think you misunderstand me, I meant same same means, outside is looks busuk, but inside is still same as the USA made one. Since you post the picture of the made in Malaysia one, looks good ma. So I choose made in Malaysia, support local product mah~ As long as it’s good lah~

  41. Jamy // Jul 23, 2007 at 8:46 pm

    ant,
    No, no, no, u sudah salah lah :)
    The 1st melon is a Japanese melon , taken by our famous Kuanhoong :)
    The 2nd one is I bought from USA.
    ha ha ha ha. Can you imagine a gila post can generate into so many gila comments :)

  42. ant // Jul 24, 2007 at 6:59 pm

    Aiyo, Im so blur….. Then I buy USA one la~ Hahaha…

  43. Jamy // Jul 24, 2007 at 7:04 pm

    Yaloh, US one only cost US$2.99, so more so red, I don’t know why this Cirnelle want to chose the Japan one , just because of the tissue paper, gila ini woman :):):)
    She not very focus :), look at what she looks at : “For US$10, you get a watermelon, half a bottle of water, a pack of tissue paper and a menu selection of exotic looking fruits and food.”
    People ask her to choose water melon only, she goes so long winded and choose all the other barang :), Che sin ini ah moi :):):)

  44. Carin // Jul 25, 2007 at 8:44 am

    Of course I choose the cheap one lah. With watermelon it’s so hard to tell from the outside. So, even if inside not so nice, at least I did not spend a lot of money buying it lor! Can check out my post on “How to select a watermelon” http://marinespouse.blogspot.com/2007/07/how-to-select-watermelon.html

  45. Jamy // Jul 25, 2007 at 9:38 am

    Carin,
    Thanks for dropping by and leave a comment.
    I like your post on how to select a water melon topics.
    Drop by some times and we will have funs :)

  46. ant // Jul 26, 2007 at 11:09 am

    Hahahaha, Cirnelle knows how to bargain, or rather include stuff with the price she is paying, can be a good negotiator :p

  47. Jamy // Jul 29, 2007 at 6:47 pm

    Yap ant, we need to learn from Cirnelle ’sifu’ :)
