HahaHA

If this post takes a long time to load, I'm sorry but I put in a lot of drawings to help depict everything so you can understand better. 

NOw, where was I?

 While most of my peers were really and truly enjoying their holidays; travelling to Europe, vacationing at the beach and eating pretty much anything they wanted or in other words shake legs or in other words goyang kaki, I decided to become a slave.



But since slavery was a new experience, at first I was a happy slave...

But I have never been able to handle doing the same thing for long periods of time....and after a while I started off on a downward spiral of self loathing, and immense pity and hatred of life.





I felt trapped and the world could see me but no one would help me.
Okay maybe that was when I tripped in the display window, and people stared


BUT STILL...it became a shitty life...


I also suffer from very very mild autism....and must sit in the same spot for my break everyday. The bench outside on Niichi. If someone else sits there....i get paranoidd...people might be looking, I'll never be able to eat, they STOLE my spot....






But Then Life Got Better...

HOW???

NUMBER 1. I made some pretty awesome friends at work. Nurul and Yongfei, Fard, Izzat, Kahfai, Siew ying, Hui shien, Anas and Bernard, and Ai Kee!. they made life bearable la.

NUMBER 2 Frequent visits from my friends HAHA. Jes, Pat and Eliz, Evon, Azah came by more than once to have a word, or criticize the jeans. Lol.

NUMBER 3  a huge sense of fulfillment that accompanies  when I recommend a jeans type or take someone's measurements and they're happy with what they've tried on. 

and NUMBER 4 .
 PERSONALITY UPLift!!!!!

Life and Transformers...

Right where am I in this life now? Let's see, we've covered my job. Complicated aspects of the job.

Well it just got a little bit more complicated. I just learnt that I have to sew!

with a sewing MACHINE!

okay I get holes in my tracksuit....that I CAN repair...

My Sewing skills
But now, when customers want their jeans altered, if its too long.....I have to cut and sew the ends....



what I have to go through
Think twice before working in a jeans shop okay!


I think the safest is a bag shop. No hunting for sizes. no sewing. No fuss! 

Dream job
Anywayy...I have strayed from what I wanted to tell you.


Which is...the fact that the sewing machine in Levis is a DECEPTICON 
and hence it is Evil.....well... you know.

Buying Levis Jeans

Let me tell you, picking out jeans that fit right is hard and takes a good 20 minutes

4 TYPES OF customers

1.  The window shopper


. The window shoppers come in big groups of friends or with the whole family; they have no intention of spending 20 minutes trying on jeans. They make a very fast round through the shop and exit.

sales assistant hint: DO not bother...just smile at a distance. they ain't buying nothing.

2. Unplanned spenders


Unplanned spenders are loaded but walk in rather aimlessly by themselves or with a girlfriend. They look at jeans, they look at blouses, then they browse through shoes, and if you’re lucky they happen to like a belt. They’ll get it and GO.

sales assistant hint: everything they touch looks "so good on them". Remind every second!

3. Target shopper



The target shopper knows what she wants, what she is looking for. She wants a Skinny, DEmi Curve pair in a size 28...and then she’ll look at you (the assistant) to pick out the size. Don’t hover, don’t follow around, don’t ask questions, don’t bloody try to sell them things in their face.

sales assistant hint: KNOW your STUFF

4. The I-have-no-clue-please-HELP-me shopper


This aunty will walk in very slowly with the most confused expression on her face, you would think she walked into the wrong shop. Then she admits it has been 10 years since her last pair of jeans.They take everything you say as gospel truth (I don’t lie or anything) and are always willing to listen to your expertise.

sales assistant hint: NEVER lie!....crap with confidence!

Organic Food!

Despite the exciting looking title

I was walking through the ORganiccc section in the Jusco supermarket....






Maybe you remember how organic food started gaining popularity?...no? ....it started with plain ol vegetables,....grown without pesticide...natural fertilizers....
It made us STOP AND THINK....about our suspiciously green vegetables...

okay fine...

But now, there's organic EVERYTHING


What the?!?!

So what have we been drinking all the while? Plastic cow milk??

TRY the Organic Cow....its realll...

Fine, this cow was given organic veges to eat...
the world was becoming more health conscious UNTILLL 


some things didn't make sense....

like eggs....





At the end of the day, just wash your vegetables under running water, and you'll have a long healthy life.
Yes I know that was a horrible conclusion to this awkward article. 

But...pffft

Spelling..

I remember when I was 17 and had an essay to write. I decided to write a story and start with the classic ‘Once upon a time’. But I couldn’t spell ‘Upon’. U.P.O.N. Yes I was seventeen, and COULD NOT for the life of me remember how to spell a word that I had seen and read millions of times.

Apon....

Eupon...

Upawn...

Aporn...

Upoun...

Then I conveniently gave up on the essay....till later.

Yes I will be teaching your kids soon enough.

Don’t worry it’s not how you spell it, it’s how you use it.

Smiling is contagious

Have you heard that before? When you smile at someone, it is nearly impossible for that person to frown back at you. In fact, he will most likely smile in return....unless he was in the middle of a divorce or something like that....

Standing for 6 hours straight can get very boring and sometimes induce suicidal thoughts...but that’s just my job.

For those of you who don’t know, I recently hooked up with Levis jeans part time as a sales assistant

At times, when there are no more jeans left to fold, all a sales girl can do is stand and wait for customers.

And this is when you practice smiling.

occasional harajuku chicks.
In a day about 500 people pass by our Levis store; old people, families, kids, couples, Harajuku chicks, =.=, people going to the gym, friends, cleaner ladies, karats, workers, and crazy people.
old people

Family outing
friends!
Transsexuals 










 And something they’re all capable of doing is smiling.

So I smile at every one of them because it’s free AND because I hate passing by a shop and seeing bored sales assistants staring into space...

So how many smile back?

Have you ever had a random person smile at you? Do you smile back?



As a sales assistant I have become that random person.

For some people it’s a bit weird, and I get the raised eyebrow a lot or the are-you-looking-at-me look....theres also the completely nonexistent-smile look....

But for some, its so simple to smile or grin back...and no I’m not talking about the karats...

Standard Karat Smile


A lot of times my friends at work ask “oh you know her issit?”
me: "No I don’t. She knows how to smile that’s all."

 So the next time you see a normal looking person on the street, 
donate a smile today!...god knows the world needs to smile more.
