My work and stuff

Chants: I am gonna blog more often! im gonna blog more often!
Nola, i do need a place i can pour out all my heartfelt sorrows and burdens and joy....

Okay, i dont know what im talking about.

Anway today during my shift i was folding paper bags, out of boredom(hmm, i think they're so good that i should be able to make money out of them la) two ang moh ladies came in and bought some stuff and my attention was on them, then, Harith Iskandar walks in. First thing i thought was, oh this guy...erm, whats his name? i only knew him for "The Bald Guy" on tv. Hah, sad right?

There's one thing about Malaysian celebrities. They can just walk anywhere they want in M'sia and there wont be screaming fans around them and no photographers and journalist swarming them to interview or take their pictures. He came in, most people in the shop didnt even give him a second glance. Maybe, we should invite celebrities from Hollywood to come and stay here. You know, like those who wants a break from their lives,

There should be like " Holidays for Hollywood Celebrities - Malaysia "
the package would include: no screaming fans
no cameras in your faces or under your skirt
no journalists or photographers

Yeah, that would help tourism Malaysia too. I think. So, he walked in carrying his really huge sling bag and walked around some, then, like any rich customer, he started picking items of the shelf. He took a silk card holder and placed it on the counter, then went to the other side and took another 2 more items which cost 2 times more than my whole outfit that day and placed it on the counter as well. In a few minutes time, there were like around 6 items on the counter. He them picked a wrapping paper and asked me in a very very pleasant tone to help him wrap up the things he purchased. He said he would pay first and proceeded to take out that huge wad of RM50 notes from his front shirt pocket with much aplomb.

I didnt wanna look like an idiot so i did not stare at the huge wad of cash right before my eyes. Under normal circumstances, i would get really nervous, restless, agitated and my spider sense would always be alert when coming face to face with a huge lump sum of money. But i was too distracted to feel that way, just wanting to get done with the transactions and start on the presents. Anways, ive never actually handled RM400 in cash before as in during work. So i kept checking over and over again if he gave me the right amount.

I got the stuff wrapped and gave it to him when he came back for them. Phew, good thing also. Now where's Angelyn?! ( the girl doing night shift)

Later when the guinea pig heard it, he was like "harith iskandar?!! got take picture anot?!" And he went on to tell me how big a fan he is..yada yada yada yada..

He's not THAT good right?

Did i tell you that this guinea pig here is an animal lover? Seriously, with all that,
"i dont want to drink shark fin's soup anymore, do you know how they get their fins?...."

"You know ar, they kill baby seals for sport, u noe?! You know how they die? they club the poor seals u noe!...."

"moleskin?!!(We sell diaries that are supposedly made from moleskins at Tango Mango) *sighs* those poor moles...wonder if they also get clubbed to death..And you people are using them as Diaries?! so cruel..."

Yeah, thats him.
The animal activist.
*shrugs*

Yeah well, i gotta sleep now. Have to wake up early to finish up that miniature sandwich board for show tomorrow. Another long Saturday...YahH

Till then
