I don't reap what I sow
Today is a weekday which means that work will be laidback because there wouldnt be any customers coming in to the shop. Hence I brought a storybook and dictionary to work. Lol! My bag was super heavy in the end. I was correct as we were customer-less for the entire afternoon. Life is wonderful when all you need is to sit at one corner and read yourbook while money enters into your pockets. Thats what I did for the whole afternoon.
When the sun set, its another story. It started when one china woman entered the shop. As my colleague is from Philipines, she doesnt know Chinese so I have to served this customer. As usual, I tried my best to accede to her requests. However this picky customer didnt like the colour of the goggles and the swimming caps so she took every thing out. Sheesh. I need to entertain her for one whole hour and speak with a little of china accent. Its not like I did it on purpose but the more I talk to her, the more my tongue will curl. After an hour I was kinda irritated by her and my tongue was weary. I wanted to show her my impatient face so badly but I couldnt. Instead, a smile was plastered on my face. A good thing is she bought the most expensive swimming cap and goggles. Initially she wanted to buy a $3 swimming cap but I managed to psycho her to buy the $34 dollar one using my oratory skills and by curling of tongue. Lol! Eww..
Everything was delayed and I needed to stay back for a little while to mop the floor. I took a pail of water out from the sotreroom and realised something. An insect went for a swim! I didnt care though. I just used that water to mop the floor. Lol!
Knocked off and saw a text message from someone. I told this person about my work today and sent a total of 6 pages long sms but I received a half a page reply. Nice. I swear not to send a text message longer than a page to this person anymore. A lucky thing is a have a blog. A nice companion.
Reached home and took a long bath. When did I ever take a short bath anyway. I need to settle a lot of things right now. Pack my bag for tomorrow aspire camp, call Jenny to cancel my work and do this blogskin thingy. Haiz. All alumni have to reach school by 6.30am so means I have to wake up at 5.30am.
Control... control...
