I've decided to go to the Chalet if my schedule in March allows. It'll b in March Hols so dun think would b a prob. Anyway, now feeling very nervous and excited, cos can finally see the frenz I'd known in kIdZ! Some i knew them more more than 2 yrs le! So looking frward to this coming Friday. :D:D:D Nv felt so happy in my life. Too bad I can't join them for dinner, cos hlping my aunt to move the stocks back from Taka Sq to the shop. And nt sure if she'll b around. If she isnt, then 3 ppl moving stocks is simply impossible, so plus me will b 4. If my aunt also going down, then 5 ppl will get the job done much more quicker.

I think kIdZ is the only company in Habbo which has Outdoor Events... It's great... juz that I've nv met them before, and my heart tells me I'm doing the right thing to attend the Chalet if everything work out fine in March. It is time to meet these frenz I've known for abt a yr or so, some even longer.But I cant help feeling that I'm going to be so extra... Afterall they know one another thru a lot more previous outings like BBQ, Chalet and etc. Let's face it, when sometimes in reality we look for a life we hope to lead, but failed to find one, we normally turn towards the world of fantasy. Sometimes it's juz the empty feeling deep within which make ppl retreat into the fantasy world. Nt that the world is nt gd or anything, but it's a normal reaction when for ppl. Computer world r often a world full of lies and deception, and u dunno who u r talking to at the other side of the pc... This is wat that's holding me back to attending the Chalet.I'm still deciding whether I should stay at the Chalet or juz go there and have a day of fun. If I stay overnight, it'll b $20, if i dun it'll only b $10. It's nt the money issue, it's juz that I know they're planning very hard for this Chalet... Tell me.. the least I can do is to join in the fun rite? Or am I thinking too much abt it?

Yesterday was a long day at work... no customer @ Taka Square, except in the shop. Once in the shop we hit our target, we helped out those at Taka Sq to push up the sales... Still alright, but yesterday cos my 2 favs nt around, so very quiet, and very de serious at Taka Sq. So most of the time I stayed in the shop to help out, and made quite some sales i might add. In the shop is me and my Aunt and Cousin. The 3 of us were enjoying ourselves as much as possible with customers entering the shop every now and then.I think my tastebud is going numb, esp for this particular kind of tea(冻顶乌龙)It's a kind of Taiwan Oolong Tea, v.famous 1... Anyway, cos yesterday outside Annie Sis was brewing this tea, but the tea, as usual was thick. So i sampled it(lucky it wasn't bitter, but still thick in my opinion). Then when i re-entered the shop, the tea my aunt had brewed(another kind of Taiwan Oolong Tea:高山乌龙) was running out, so I brewed 冻顶乌龙. Maybe tio influenced by Jing Chun Sis, i like to brew Taiwan Oolong than China Oolong...So as i was saying, cos I like light taste one, so mine wasn't as thick. But when i test drank my own tea, felt a little 反胃. Lucky, my aunt drank le assured me it's gd. But cos Tue drank 冻顶乌龙, Wed drank Annie's sis' 冻顶乌龙, plus my own 冻顶乌龙... My tastebud now cannot take the same flavour, so became 反胃.But overall, it was gd... though I heard form my aunt who heard form her frenz that it was raining ysterday around late afternoon till late evening(We're at B2, so cant see the weather changed). Maybe that's the reason why ppl wanna rush home a sap... Today(Thursday) dropping by to b volunteer... no pay one, but I like being around my 2 favs, they're really gr8. Rite.. Thx for visiting my Blog, TTFN! ;)

God, yesterday(Tuesday) was hell...though it was really fun cos my 2 favs r around: Shao Ling Sis and Jing Chun Sis. Yay! They really make u feel as if ur nt working but juz chilling out and getting paid... hehe. Yesterday I stayed mostly in the shop rather than Taka Sq... then besides yesterday was Tuesday... the goods arrived. The Uncle pushed 3 carts of goods into the shop, we were shocked by the amt of the goods that had been ordered!!! :OThere were barely rooms for walking, and when JC Sis and me were packing the goods, we found out that in the shope there r still alot of the goods left. So u can imagine that we nid to find space in the cupboards to store the newly arrived stuffs. Man, and my knee has nt recovered yet, so the squarting and standing and running made it worse. Luckily we managed to cleared away 3 boxes full of goods including tealeaves but r mostly teasets and tea making accessories(teapots, teacups, saucers etc.).Yesterday was tough and tedious, 3 ladies needed to close 2 shops(cos my cousin went hm early, he came early in the morning instead of in the afternoon, so aunt as him to go hm and sleep) and we were like... rushing all over. Jing Chun Sis indoor(taka shop) to close the counter, while i went in and help her to clear up and to serve any customers entering the shop. Then I went to change n headed for Taka Sq to take over Shao Ling Jie so she can changed... Then Shao Ling Jie helped Jing Chun Sis to close the shop by putting on white sheets of clothes to cover up the displays, then she nid to rush to Taka Sq to help me with the closing of the shop in the Sq. U can imagine, we nid to hang cloths around the shop and I was ahem... short, so i cant reached, so nid to wait for Shao Ling Jie(who was the tallest among those who r present) to close the shop wif me. We had a great laugh while closing the shop. That was fun, but my arms felt as if they're falling apart.Ben lai today(Wed) no work, but my Aunt transfer me up so Thurs I dun nid to go to work... Hehe... Hope today's sales can b as gd as yesterday, even better! Lolz!

Oo.. yesterday went to Teahouse branch at Esplanade... that day was teh best day of my life! Over there, it's total relaxation and total freedom, nt like Taka...At Esplanade, can guang ming zhen da de eat and drink...Even face the entrance eat and drink also no one notices ur weird behaviour. Me ans Shao Ling Jie were enjoying ourselves there.She taught me how to brew tea, i tried 2 types of tea, one is Chun Yu Xiao(Taiwan Oolong) and the other one is Te Ji Qi Hong(Red Tea which has the scent and taste of sugarless almond paste). I succeeded in both, juz that the Red Tea.. Think something wrong wif me... Suppose to have the almond taste the strongest at the 2nd and 3rd time... Mine is 1st time, okok, juz a bit bland. 2nd time's the best out of the 4 times. When it comes to the 3rd time, the taste like no more le... 4th time gen bu yong jiang... tasted like the 1st time.. Then there's this customer Mdm Rose she had reserved a whole Swan Teaset and suppose to collect it today from my uncle. Then my uncle gone le woah... then left me and Shao Ling Jie... kept on telling her my uncle nt around, cant see her personally, but he told us wat to do.. blah blah blah. She nv listened! Lucky got a customer came in, so Shao Ling Jie go serve the customer(he wanted teaset, and I'mgd at selling tealeaves over sets). So, I chatted with Mdm Rose and told her wad my uncle said in details and watsoever. Then, finally, she agreed to pay for it. Phew.. lemme tell u, old folks r very very naggy, u had to put up with them. She finaly agreed to pay for it and we had specially reserved it for her.Cos we first told her if she din collect it today(on Wed), then we're selling it on Thurs. That was cos she din pay for it. And she was like nagging and nagging and said she'll sue my uncle if he dare to sell the set when she told him that she wanted the set very badly... -.-But when she paid for it, the whole story changed. Lucky I persuaded her to pay for it and we keep it safe for her. She was so afraid to lose the wholse set cos she was like, "Don't sell it! I've told Eric i wanted this set and he reserved it for me."The I was like, "Yes, my uncle told me that u'll b coming today to collect and pay for the set."She was like, "If I pay, u make sure Eric dun sell it or I'm going t sue him to court!"Then I was like,"If you already paid for it, I can guarentee u that this set belngs to u. If Eric sells it, I help u sue him." That kinda put the smile on her face... Biah man.. really naggy. Cos during our dinner time, she called the teahouse to make sure we din sell the set and we had helped her packed it up nicely... Shao Ling Jie was like,"FW, maybe ur uncle know she's so naggy, that's y he dun want to see her...." Haha, yesterday was fun fun fun!!!5 things diff abt working at Esplanade and at Taka:1. No one restricts u to drinking or eating anything. At Taka, drink nid to squad down, cant eat in the shop.2. Dun have to worry abt sales target, unlike Taka.3. Total freedom and relaxation. Can sit all day and no one cares abt u, unlike Taka, stand all day.4. Dun have manager entering ur shop and askng "how's the sales today?" Cos we're the boss!! Muhahaha.5. Taka there's nt enough space to actually sit down and brew tea unlike Esplanade, got this long table where everything is there on and under the table and u can brew tea using the traditional teapot and nt the "3-in-1 piao yi cup".See how much fun it's to work at Esplanade? No wonder Jing Chun Sis and Annie Sis always said wished they can go to Esplanade. Hehe...

If Someone tells u that he/she will be away for overseas till New Year.. when do u reckon he/she will return back to Singapore? Is it 1st of Jan? Or Till CNY? How d u interprete it?Anyway, 1st day at work... bored.. We hit our target, pretty gd for a boring day... YZ(New Part-timer. Dun say his name out, or some of u guys will know who he is.) and I and Annie Sis simply had nth to do... there r quite alot of thems we just stand or walk around without talking... Can u imagine? So it's really erm... wat u call... surprising that we hit our target when the sales r so bad and we had nth to talk abt...Lucky for us, abt 3 customers bought over 100+, 200+ and 300+ worth of items respectively that brought up our sales... I can see tha Annie Sis is trying very hard to engage us in conversation so our day wun b so boring.. She did succeed, i gotta admit, but it was short-lived. At least we did laugh... and I did engage in conversation with YZ(for ur info), though it was juz abt the diff types of tealeaves, the changing of candles to keep the sample tea warm, the notes that I'd copied... stuffs like that.Overall I say we managed to have fun. 1 customer, the one who brought 300+ worth of items, kept on choosing and selecting(nt that he's wrong)... he juz keeps changing his mind, and cos no other customers by then(THANK GODNESS!), He and his wife were being served by 3 staffs, mainly me, Annie sis and YZ. Lucky for us, Annie sis took charge of showing him the diff kinds of teasets we have, the diff kinds of tea equipments, diff kinds of tealeaves... YZ n I helped with the wrapping, cos all he bought were all made of glass... and very very expensive...I gotta say, I juz teached YZ once abt how we wrapped, and he got it rite! Lucky got his help, or else the customer would have to wait longer than ever. He did waited for quite some time, kept on drinking the sample tea(well, i's meant for drinking neway). All 3 of us(plus Anie sis also met this kind of customer for the 1st time. Besides, Annie sis worked for 2 yrs le)... I'm thinking, maybe the appearance of this very mah fan customer is to spice up our boring day at work. Wel, he did a pretty gd job by doing so. Hehe.The next time I'll b working again wif YZ is on Sun, but this time is with Jing Chun Sis. Man, I like working with Jing Chun sis, she's really funny and always smiling and laughing, really lifts up the spirits. Lolz, gotta go! TTFN! :p

Yesterday, 2nd day of the New Year met a grp of Jap customers, came into the teahouse and buy some tealeaves. They said they come here every yr... I believe them, cos they knew wad they wanted to buy when they stepped into the shop, and they remembered there's a discount thingy, and the actualy weigh of the tealeaves they were buying...Wat they did was buy 8 pckts of Jasmine Tealeaves, and 1 pckt of Tie Guan Yin... Then they told us(Me and Jing Chun Sis) to divide 7 pckts of Jasmine into half, and pack those divided ones in new bags...Can u believe that? It's to save $ if they r giving them out to alot of ppl. But wad a trick, din realise I would meet such a customer... then Jing Chun sis and I dunno how to use the machine to seal the bag out so we agah agah and it worked... pretty amazing......Hehe, sales was pretty good, at least it met our target... Jing Chun sis said she got see such customer before.. well, first time for me.. wad a New Year.. everyday seemed to have something surprising going on...
