5 things shoppers should learn about promoters

1. They won't bite!

2. They won't force you to buy sth if you dun want to.

3. Smiling at you does not have any ulterior motive.

4. They are nice people who can be easily approached... Just open your mouth to ask them... Not complain loudly hoping they will hear you.

5. They should not be taken for granted!



8 things that pisses a promoter/salesperson off (cannot make 10 ma)

1. Turning/walking away whenever a promoter approaches you.

2. Striking a deal with strangers to take advantage of a 'Buy 2 get 1 free' deal

3. Conversing to your fren in another dialect if you dun want the promoter to hear you (The promoter understands certain dialects too =Þ)

4. Dun try and bargain by telling the promoter "I saw the exact same item for $3" (when the selling price of the item is $12.50)

5. Impatient customers who can't wait! Can't they see that I'm busy...

6. Telling the promoter straight in the face that her product is no good.

7. Lying to the promoter by saying her kid is not interested when you can see the earnest look on the kid's face with big puppy-like eyes begging...

8. Referring to point 5 above: Being taken for granted!



5 things that lights up a promoter's/salesperson's day!

1. Having cute kids

2. Nice parents who appreciate what is done for the kids

3. Buying loads of stuff from him/her.

4. Passerbys returning smiles

5. People who will pay without haggling or asking their kids to choose sth cheaper to do.

Oh ya.. about them not missing my presence.. ya.. i get what you mean.. and i won't take it the wrong way... but was just thinking if they wanna make it a group affair, den ya... but the next question is of course, are we really a group or are we trying to be a group???
Ya... i also wanna get a boyfren.. go find me one lor.. Hiakz.. where got so easy.. this sort of thing must shun4 qi3 zi4 ran2 onw...

relationships with ppl in general... cause i believe that if 2 frens dun bother to keep in touch, we'll only drift apart... and then it'll be weird to like contact the other person out of the blue or sth.. Hahaha...

Wednesday, June 16, 2004

Oh ya... did i mention i feel isolated from the world nowadays... I dun go out with anyone... I just focusing on opening shop, closing shop... I have countless appointments to meet... And i dun have the time... and... and... and... I feel that i may be ruining relationships cause of all these... Boohoohoo...
This i gotta record:

You are feeling really miserable at this time and you'd like to form a relationship with someone with whom you could really communicate. At the same time, whoever it may be, that special 'someone' must not conflict with your own belief system or ideals. This makes for tough going - but it would seem that the situation is only transitory. It will soon pass.

Enough is enough. Nothing seems to be working out as you would like it to and it has got to the stage where you feel as if you can't be bothered anymore. The way you feel is that it would be great if you could be cut off from everything and take it easy - be it only for a short time.

You lack confidence and that is a great pity because deep down you are indeed a warm caring person. This lack of confidence is making you wary of being drawn into any open discussion or conflict and so you feel as if you should let matters lie and leave well alone. But there may be a pleasant surprise in store for you. You are beginning to grow and very soon - sooner than you believed possible - this warm loving new you will be available for all to see and to appreciate.

Your stress and anxiety are a result of an emotional disappointment. It could well be that the emotional relationship is no longer running smoothly and you have come to the end of your tether. On the one hand you would like to free yourself from this relationship altogether, yet on the other hand, you don't want to lose anything nor risk the uncertainty of throwing away something - something that's precious, something that could be the 'Real Thing'. Perhaps for the first time in your life you really don't know which way to go and it is these contradictory emotions that are causing you the untold stress. You are pretending to the world that you don't care but even this air of pretence is causing you much heartache.

Sometimes one fears that its not worth formulating new ideas and projects because whatever you seem to have done in the past has never worked out and you are tired of, as they say, banging your head against a brick wall. No one seems to care. So now you are trying to get away from it all by withdrawing into a 'fantasy land' but unfortunately 'fantasy land' is just that and sooner or later you will have to return to reality so why delay the inevitable? When you do return, you will find that the situation is not as tough as perhaps you thought it was.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Bleahz... Colorgenics hit it right on the head again.. I'm sick of working.. I really need a break.. Yeah.. just like what they said... And yes.. I'm bothered by some relationships... Bleahz... This sucks! I'm sort of in a dilemma now... As usual.. what else... but ya... To go or not... cause i feel that the cracks in the sructure will worsen if I do not make an appear and join in or rather, maybe the structure won't crumble... Just one side of the wall will fall... Next next point is... Do I want it to fall? cause it will take time to rebuild the fallen part again... and do i wanna rebuild it???
Hmm... ok lor... anyway, gotta make this a short entry... I can't wait for fri~!~ Yay!!! Can go shopping! I haven't looked forward to sth for a long long time.. Anyway, Spy.. are we gonna watch Shrek 2???

Monday, June 14, 2004

I'm exhausted...
Heh.. Thanks Spy... but i still gotta scroll right to be able to see the whole pict.. but nvm la... I'm happy the way it is now.. Anyway, I got the 'PaSSiOn' thing from one of those inspirational posters.. not bad huh...

You are NEMO!
What Finding Nemo Character are You?

brought to you by Quizilla
Ok.. I'm finally done ripping someone's blog off blogskins and borrowing their creative juices... Hahaha.. a bit slow... not very experienced ma...

but i like this new layout.. though somehow, it reminds me of work... all the paint and stuff~!~

Colourful... I like bright and nice colours! Simple but nice and bright! And I like the 'Passion' that phrase...

So what do you think? get down and paint me a comment! =)
I need to do sth about my indecisiveness... Haha... I'm previewing layout at blogskins... and I like all of them.. SIghz.. some ppl are just so creative... but trying to avoid those dark and gloomy ones.. lemme continue my 'skin-hunt'... Hmmm.. sounds like 'Manhunt'
Hmmm... I FINALLY GET A HOLIDAY!!!!!!!!!!! *jumps up and down for joy!* A beggar can't choose... tmr I'll have to return to work.. but ya... after slogging for 9 full days... Hmmm... I'm quite happy.. so updates... I got my SMU matriculation handbook together with a LOT of forms to read and fill in.. which i think I'll do later... and den, I wanna watch Shrek 2... though i still dun fathom how certain people can watch a show twice or thrice in the cinema... But i suppose that's why ppl buy VCDs and DVDs... Ok.. going off tangent now.. (yep.. i picked it up from you, Spy...)

Hmmm.. den, I'm supposed to go learn tennis, and maybe go out to sing karaoke with my JC frens... the problem now is to squeeze all of these into this lovely day that I'm off and sad to say, half of it is already gone.. *its 12.36 according to my computer clock*

Not to mention I wanna go surf the net to catch up on all the news I've missed out in the last 9 days of absence and go shopping and swimming and running and to go repair my faulty discman which has been spoilt for eons... and to eat the dim sum buffet @ Bugis and maybe to change my blog layout *i shall be lazy and rip one of blogskins... haha*

AND thus, I sadly conclude, I will not even be close to finishing half the things off my list in this miserable day where I have a paltry 6 hours left till nightfall... Maybe I should just stay at homw and slack the whole day... Darn! I haven't even had time to fully explore and utilise the straightener I got for my birthday~!~ Bleahz.. the perils of working for ppl you know and are close to whereby you have to be nice and accomodating and be taken for granted!

And there are some irresponsible ppl around who go round spreading MaLiCiOuS tales about nice ol' me... That I'm not doing my work properly and that I talk too much when I work and dun try my best to get business for my stall... Bleahz to her... I mean its like if there is no one walking around, am I supposed to like just stand there and talk to air or maybe she'll prefer that I stone? Hmmmm... just so to shift the blame that it is not their fault that our business is not as ideal... Not as though I am under her jurisdiction anyway... different companies what... why does she care about what I do? Argh!!! Stupid ppl...

I suppose I'm not as explosive as I should be since this happened like 2 days ago and I'm sort of over it... Haha...

I feel so isolated from the rest of the world... My only schedule of everyday is to go open shop, stay there for hours and close shop... Go home and stone till I sleep.. totally no life man~!~ But i suppose if I end at 9 everynight, who can I find to go out with me? Anyway, like all shops are closed already.. so a bit no point right...

And yes!!! I wanna go eat chilli crab with mantou!
Hmmm... so do I get killed for what leader i am similar to???

I think I'm becoming a baby-sitter... or a child-sitter.. whatever... there are some ppl who just leave kids at the stall to do colour art and then disappear for hours to either go shopping, have coffee or do their hair.. Haha... not bad huh... and I'm turning into an entertainer... not bad.. trying to talk to them and play ridiculous games which i think i played last time when i was younger...
