Met Mr. Krishna In Gurney Plaza

Yesterday,
I hanged out to Gurney Plaza.

When I was in MPH Bookstore,
I saw someone familiar.
I wondered was him Mr. Krishna.

He was on phone.
After listening his voice,
I felt that he should be Mr. Krishna.
I decided to approach him.

After he ended his call,
I approached him.
Yea,
he is Mr. Krishna.
And he still recognize me.

It has been about 5 years that I didn't meet him.
He was my English lecturer when I was studying English in Cambridge Language Centre.
He is a very good teacher.
I learned a lot from him.

Previously,
I didn't like English.
I didn't like reading.
After taught by him,
I started to love Englsh and reading.
Thanks to him!

It's really great to meet him back.

A Simple Maths Question That Many Highly Educated People Get It Wrong

I bought a book at RM8.
After I read it, I sold it to my Alex at the price of RM9.
But, I regretted and purchased from Alex at RM11 again.
Thereafter, I sold it to Alvin at RM12.

So, how much did I earn or loss?


































Answer: RM2 profit

Let's assume that I have RM10 at the beginning.

Bought at RM8: RM2 left.
Sold at RM9: RM11 left.
Bought at RM11: RM0 left.
Sold at RM12: RM12 left.

I got RM12 now.
Comparing to RM10 that I have at the beginning,
I earned RM2.
