Tubes and Sniffing in the Fitting Room

Phew ! For the last 2 days , I've been huffing and puffing working at Linen & Things KL PLaza for nearly 20 hours ! I managed to re-arrange my tuition schedule in order to earn some extra cash (which I've been lacking lately). Angpows has always been considered a great source of income but the figure seems to decrease as each year passes.

Strangely, there were many tourists visiting Malaysia at this time of the year. I met all sorts of people strechting from Canada to Sri Langka to Australia to Japan. There was this middle-aged lady and her friend from Japan who wanted to try a 20cm sleeveless tube ! Although I didnt think it suited her, I still said she looked young and sexy after she emerged from the fitting room showing off her wrinkled and sagging skin. In the end, sense overpowered her and she didnt buy that tube.

I was particularly grateful to the 2 very kind ladies from Sri Langka, who bought linen blouses worth over RM 700. They seem to love the blouses so much they bought it even though their size wasnt available. They even wished me "Have a pleasent and prosperous Chinese New Year" . I didnt know people in Sri Langka knew about Chinese New Year.

Patience is one of my lesser attributes and I hate waiting. But 2 days ago, there was a customer, who said she was in a hurry because her husband is waiting for her at the hotel at 7pm. ( The clock was reading 7.10) However, I still persuaded her to try even more blouses in order to generate more sales. It worked, she bought another blouse, but the time then was already 7.35 and I suppose she's going to get a toungue lashing from her husband.. all my fault.

In another case, there was this customer who was trying a blouse in a fitting room. After a few mins, I could her sniffing. I wonder if she was crying because her blouse couldnt fit , or she's too fat, or she's too ugly, or she's both fat & ugly, or her husband had an affair, or because its a combo of her husband left her because she's too ugly and the blouse couldnt fit because she's too fat. Haha

I was too tired and couldnt keep my eyes awake to watch the match against Birmingham which thankfully they won 2-0. Hope City could do us a favour and beat Chelsea !!
