Today, that unpredictable colleague bought me kaya toast (cos I like to eat at yakun. butter sugar toast + ice coffee). She also said, "sorry if I lost my temper yesterday".
Well, I'm glad that things are better again. Still, I always remember one story I receive from massmail once. Lemme summarise the story.. Though, I am likely to spoil it. Anywayz..
It goes like this.
Jerry is a very unkind boy. One day, his father decided to teach him a lesson. He made him hammar one nail into a wooden board everyday for a month. After a month, he instructed Jerry to remove one nail from the same board each day. Puzzled and reluctant, Jerry continued to do as he was told. At the end of the second month, Jerry and his father stood before the wooden board, which is now filled of holes.
Jerry's father said, "Everytime you hurt someone, it is like hammaring a nail into the wooden board, you wound her heart. Even when you apologise to her, by trying to remove all the nails that have been previously drilled, there would still be wounds left."
.the end.
nah, i am not trying to say that she hurt me so bad etc etc. Just that I suddenly recall this story, which I have not retold well.
JJ thinks that by apologising for some lies he once told me, I should forgive him totally. YEs, I have forgiven him. But they still hurt me every now and then, nevertheless..

Anyway, I stayed back to help out in the rearranging for a WEIRD event at the shop tomorrow. Everything would be removed and turned back to normal after Sunday though.
Tmr, there will be a launch of valentino ties in the shop. Many were invited. But it's really weird. the ties will only be in the shop for 3 days. Then launch for what? I guess, to spark interest in the shop, and do something they have never done before - an event. The shop would be divided into 2 halves and there would be competition of sales. Our original products+ new stocks, against the valentino stuff. What's there to compete about? The other 'team' are all so experienced working for years and years. Anyway, they just love challenging the employees.
Anyway, it was really fun doing up everything. But I didn't manage to do much, cos I have to leave earlier.

Gracie, which area do u work in? there is no yakun in cityhall area, much to my disappointment. She didn't get me yakun. she bought toast at coffeeshop near her placea. anyway, Coffee and Toast opened up at citylink mall recently though. haven't tried it. the boss- ex banker, quite goodlooking with entreprenerial streak. cool.
