Today, I learnt a very valuable lesson.

We are back in Tampines again. 

Sales wasn't great 

I went to this unit and the owner keeps a maltese, it kept barking at me

I started to build rapport with him, asking about his dog 

I learnt that the maltese's name is ben ben, he is ten 

The dog is actually his son's, who passed away when he was 21, from a bike accident 

Words..... can never describe his facial expression 

He was in pain, missing his son

He was in tears

He said his son left him the dog to keep him company

This is why I like this job

It allows me to build my EQ, to speak to people from all walks of life 

Today, I will start to value family more 

Hey guys, it's been another ten days since I last updated. 

I'm going to try test my willpower to blog daily, lol

It's nearing the end of the year already, final week of the year, I hope I can do enough sales to welcome 2012  with a bang!

Hey, sorry I've not been updating much these days. 

Life has been.... pretty eventful recently

But I have faith it will get better

These few days, I've been cooped up at home for some reason and it was an event that scarred me for life.

I never want to recall or witness another thing like that again 

Anyway, moving on, my past weeks in pictures. 

Not a lot of pictures cos my phone hangs fifteen hours a day 

This was lunch with the team on a sunday in tpy 

 Hamsters belonging to a customer. 

I know it is very bad to have nine hamsters living together and the female is pregnant again 

I wasn't in any position to educate the customer but I did hint that there will be overcrowding very very soon 

 Tried to do some shopping for cny at F21 

 Finally, I got to try DingTea! Pudding milktea. 

I've been trying to find the pudding milktea I had in TW but....

It's the same for lu rou fan as well 

So I HAVE to go back TW soon! 

 Check out what Smelly got for me! 

 At last I tidied up the room 

 And I baked 

I gather I will update more often cos Dad gave me one of his phones, no more hanging! 

Weeks passed like minutes and I've already been with the company for 6 weeks 

I need to find out what I did wrong these past few weeks 

Won't remain like this one! :D

Just another japalang post for today, haha. 

It's after 12 already. 

So, SELAMAT HARI RAYA! :D

Basically, my routine everyday is work, work and work

Sat is my off day which literally meant shopping/gathering day

I promised Dad I'll bring him to buffet town next sat and I shall make good my promise

Generally, most days, sales were good. 

But there are times when things aren't working so well but I was never affected. 

The truth is, whether you know it or not, your thoughts are responsible for whatever place or situation you are in right now

So, think happy thoughts (:  

 On my first day out on field alone, this kind lady customer gave me a box of chocolates she made from the RC. 

There were truffles and durian chocolates 

Taste heavenly

They looked presentable until I put the box in my bag and they fought a war with the files, wallet, hp, water bottle and pens 

It's customers like this lady that made my day (: 

 Another reason to look forward to working is that we are at different parts of Singapore all the time so we get to try out food from all over Singapore. 

This was Mexican grilled chicken from Chester Express, Jurong West on thursday night.

Today, I went shopping with Kelly and Finna two hours before we meet the guys 

Took a cab down for dinner afterwards 

Major lol @ the hello kitty water bottle from H&M hahaha 

Haven't blog in a while! 

Mainly because I've been busy with my new job? 

Nah, I was just lazy LOL

Frankly speaking, I like my job a lot, it allows me to learn a lot and I get recognition so all's good (:  

But anyway, here's what I did last sat, I went to Ben and Jerry's chunkfest! 

But I was disappointed 'cos the usual NS/ZOO/JBP people weren't there.  

 Faircoins this year! But it was fucking ex! Two scoops was 11faircoins aka $11! I can buy a pint with staff discount already! 

On a side note, this job is a lot about setting goals. 

I figured I should write them down somewhere.

Tumblr is powerful

A while back, at the entrance of a gym, there was a picture of a very thin and beautiful woman. The caption was “This summer, do you want to be a mermaid or a whale?”

The story goes, a woman (of clothing size unknown) answered the following way: 

“Dear people, whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, seals, curious humans), they are sexually active and raise their children with great tenderness.
They entertain like crazy with dolphins and eat lots of prawns. They swim all day and travel to fantastic places like Patagonia, the Barents Sea or the coral reefs of Polynesia.
They sing incredibly well and sometimes even are on cds. They are impressive and dearly loved animals, which everyone defend and admires.

Mermaids do not exist.

But if they existed, they would line up to see a psychologist because of a problem of split personality: woman or fish?
They would have no sex life and could not bear children.
Yes, they would be lovely, but lonely and sad.
And, who wants a girl that smells like fish by his side?

Without a doubt, I’d rather be a whale.

At a time when the media tells us that only thin is beautiful, I prefer to eat ice cream with my kids, to have dinner with my husband, to eat and drink and have fun with my friends.

We women, we gain weight because we accumulate so much wisdom and knowledge that there isn’t enough space in our heads, and it spreads all over our bodies.
We are not fat, we are greatly cultivated.
Every time I see my curves in the mirror, I tell myself: “How amazing am I ?! “
