The different types of customers

I've been reminding myself to not judge and to treat all of them equally. 
I think I've managed to do that so far but still can't help but roll my eyes at times. 

1) The rich yet stingy 
These are the ones who carry Hermes but find your clothes too expensive (seriously one Hermes is equivalent to my entire rack of clothes or more) and will never fail to ask for a discount. I meet such people the most. 

2) The I'm too skinny for Korean clothes 
There are some who are really skinny and nothing seems to fit but there are also some who are actually not that skinny and don't understand Korean clothes are mostly not body hugging. 

3) The loose fitting clothes make me look fat or fatter
No, your food, lifestyle and probably genes make you fat. Do you really think body hugging clothes will actually make you look slimmer? You are merely highlighting the flaws of your body. 

4) The was there a typhoon here after you left 
Treat the clothes with respect. You don't need to fling them that hard, they are not glued to the rack. 

5) The your clothes are not good enough for me
I just feel like slapping your face. Period. 

6) The I like it but...
No matter how much these people like the items, they will always manage to find a but.

7) The eye power damn strong
They hardly pick any piece up or try and will just scan through the clothes. 

8) The I don't have a particular style and wear anything
No, you don't. You'd soon find out they don't like sleeveless after showing them tonnes of sleeveless dresses for example; that they don't like this particular colour. I'd rather you be honest so that we can both stop wasting our time. 


Of course, like everything else, there are the really nice customers and so far, I've met more of these.

2016, a year to remember

June has always been my favourite month. But it didn't start off well as I had my first zero sale, boo hoo. Never mind I thought. I've had a zero, what could be worse? Another zero of course, wtf! Fast forward to June 18, the mahjong khakis celebrated my birthday and surprised me with a cake. June 19, celebrated with the in-laws and ended the night with some sinful durian. June 20. 230am. My phone rang. An unfamiliar number and I was so tired I decided to ignore it and switched my phone to night mode. 330am. Heard the phone beep. It was the FB message alert. For some strange reason, I opened my eyes to check my phone. Two missed calls from my brother and the first line of the FB message read your grandpa is in critical condition... I started shaking. Returned my brother's call and he said the same thing, proved that I wasn't dreaming. I hung up and read the FB message my uncle left me and yes it read my grandpa's in critical condition at Tan Tock Seng...

放下

2016年虽然只过了一半但我却学会和体会了很多。 二月决定放下坚守八年的工作岗位去创业。 因为薪水大减,这几个月来放下一些物质的欲望。 但也因为这份新工作放下了许多压力和不必要的公司或人事纠纷。 有时也必须放下一些不适合这行业的做法,诚恳学习这行的窍门。 六月看到爷爷安详地离去更让我体会的能够放下的人才会快乐。 我会继续努力学习放下。

I would like to erase 2016

It feels like the end of the world but it's not. Or maybe a really bad nightmare. But it's not. Time heals all wounds. But it doesn't (heal) scars. Time reminds you the distance between us. That you are long gone. The pain, I have no words for. The tears, I have no control of. Well, sometimes I try to hold them back and sometimes, I allow myself to be defiant and cry out loud. I'm worried to hold you back with those tears but I'm worried I'd stop thinking of you one day. That one day, everyone pretends you never happened. Or that we forget something along the way. People say life goes on. Sure it does. Without you that is. 2016, I fucking hate you. I know this too will pass and when I'm more at peace, I'd be able to forgive you. But I'd never forget. I'd learn to let go instead.
