Up on a ferris wheel

dream a little dream come true

not moaning about being jobless, at least.

I have decided not to read the blog of a particular someone anymore. She's so hypocritical and fake in many ways but yet guys still prefer to think that she's wonderful, nice, attractive.. Yea, I know the world works in this way -- the 'attractive' ones just get more privileges than the rest.

You must be thinking that .. I am just jealous that someone "attractive' is getting a lot of attention and special treatment while I am not. Hmm..I don't know about this jealous part. I am not keen in having guys flocked to me either. I only want ONE guy. Just one true guy. And I don't flirt, whether single or attached.

I don't want to comment too much on why I don't want to read her blog anymore. Else it will be too obvious and if she gets to know of it, she might not be happy. I think I should be nicer lah, huh...

I bought a blazer on discount earlier. Hee... at just a little over half a hundred. Cheapo hor? Whatever.. Looking to buy a black pleated skirt next.. It's some trend thingy. But, heck.. I shall just follow the trend once in a while.

Just before I knocked off from work today, a guy came in to buy 2 shirts over $400. It's actually over a hundred, but he's got 25% off.. Thank God loh!!! Else, my personal sales today would be pathetic. I am working mostly the day shift when there are just less people coming in to buy stuff.

My 'supervisor' gave me her $50 Charles and Keith vouchers to get new shoes, cos I have been having all sorts of problems. Aching toes, lower back, sole, knees and all.. TErrible.. I think I really need to get her some nice coffee tmr..

there's nothing I like from Charles and Keith.. So I just anyhow get two cheap pairs that have the most potential to give me lesser problems.

I just can't afford to be leading my past lavish lifestyle anymore. it's time to be financially independent..

My sales is so bad. Of course, there are many aspects to the job. More to come in future. But, right now, the sole measurement of my competence is my sales achievement. I can do all sorts of other stuff, but yet be branded as mediocre and risk getting discontinued as long as my sales is not robust enough.

Having been so tuned to the academia kind of Marketing, the kind of ideas I have usually have indirect impact on sales, rather than direct. Not forgetting profitability.

I wanna talk about the kind of customers I meet! Especially those couples...when the women have the final say to what their men can buy... Hilarious loh. There was one couple today. Her girlfriend has such awful taste.. gosh.. Unlike yours sincerely here. i am very proud of my taste and skill in dressing up my bf. AFter knowing me, his image has been changing positively, from his shirts to socks to slippers to underwear to highlighters to other stationery blahblah.. I didn't try to change him of course. He enjoys the attention and the things I do for him. On second thoughts, I should dress him as ugly as possible so that girls wouldn't leech to him.

Now, why issit that I can be a great fashion consultant to my bf and male frens, but just not my customers? I guess, the main reason is that I can be totally frank with the former, but not the latter.. There's a whole lot of need to be diplomatic, peppering sales pitches with euphemisms and flatteries.

I love the ties there!!!! Laozi, you mind bold floral prints with rough texture? Hiakzz.. For the metrosexual perhaps..

My 23rd birthday is coming. Alright, onward into adulthood. Still feel like a kid. Cos people still treat me like a xiao3 mei4.

As birthday boys and girls usually do, they wish for presents. I wish for practical presents.

1. gentle eye makeup remover
2. smudge proof mascara
3. Blusher brush
4. A sophisticated hair accessory to do up my hair (no more scrunchies and rubberbands or clips)
5. pedicure voucher, best from hollywood secret or cityhall area (sponsor my first pedicure experience, kind Fren?)

The last one a little expensive...

6. paid visit to the dentist to remove my wisdom TEETH.. (I have at least two big ones... No money, no time to go pluck them off... die...)

howhowhow?? :*) Not too much right? All high in affordability. Ashy Ash? Are you reading this? Don't pretend hor?

I should know gone are the days when I receive piles of presents. Only when I was still in school. Only when I was still single, do such happen.

Hmmmm, somehow I have a feeling I know who you're talking about. Anyway, if not, I can understand what you're trying to mean - that it's not a matter of jealousy, but maybe a question of er, 'moral principles' perhaps?

Anyway, I know you're trying to mean well, so may end up sounding nasty. I guess you can't mean well and be nice at the same time.
