Forgive why this stubborn old guy seemingly allows himself to get exploited for being so dirt-cheap.
I'm conversely tired of too many charging too much for what is really cheaper than my regular efforts.
In response, I inexorably build up value, until one day when I'm belatedly justified to announce brand prices, no decent person could protest.
It's a bit like farmers overworking poor honey bees shamelessly for crop profits.
Then one day when bees up and leave, agro-empires crash…
Let's not scare the kids further… 🙂
They think I'm kidding when I name my monthly sustainable income target as a bargain deal of 6,000 in the current strongest currency, inflation now adjusted.
You just need to build a brand, my dear friend. I am building a brand around SorenJou. This isn't 'Soren' but a character I will play sometimes while getting shitfaced in Shibuya (suburb of Tokyo where all the best bars and live entertainment is)
Man, I would love to visit you in Singapore but I'm afraid I would get caned on the very first day (kidding, I respect every culture equally).
I understand that "Alan Heah" is your brand, but you can do what I do and create a 'persona' that is also you, but is also not, if you get my drift.
I'm a nice tourist; I wouldn't break any laws of any country that would be so kind as to host me, because I would read the laws first and know them well enough not to do something stupid hahaha! Americans are generally horrible, entitled tourists, known the world over for being Champion Asshats. If I see one of these on my travels, I'm gonna pretend to be Canadian.
Are you referring to Halimah Yacob? I didn't know she had a red book. Red's a pretty awesome color tho
If 'Alan Heah' is the Fellowship of the Ring, dear Kannagi, why would I just want to adopt a persona of just Aragorn or Frodo? The whole community is stronger, together! 🙂

I believe you, that you'd be a great tourist.

No, I'm poking fun, by comparing the red book of Mao's quotes,
with our international passport, which happens to also be a bright red in cover.
And no, no great leader's quotes are compulsory book-carrying here today, unless you refer to our founding father LKY.
But it's not Xi's thoughts.
Do remember in Singapore, that the prime minister is the chief executive (like your US presidents), while the president is the ceremonial head of state (like the present British king).
Alan, my dearest friend, you are not charging enough for your subscription plan. Perceived value pricing demands that you should charge $20 a month USD. I want to pay that much because you are worth it. https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/p/perceived-value-pricing/profileshow/51807284.cms
You are right, Kannagi dear friend.

Love, Kannagi Bear, a childish woman
Alan Heah is my brand, my dear.
It is already becoming so impossibly in-the-face to some, that one day soon, I would be paid good money just to go away and leave them alone.
(Just like a survey when Covid started indicated people are willing to pay not to think.)

Also, please don't worry about dooming yourself to a criminal record in Singapore, as long as you properly inform yourself before coming.
Usually, offender tourists tried too hard to make inhuman clowns of themselves, for our temporary trending amusement.
And no, we don't carry little red books of quotes from great leader everywhere we go. 🙂
(That's our accepted international passport, for overseas travel.)
