"See-I-Pee"At SGH






Okay. Sunshine after the rain okay? Going to post something less emo-ish.






Went for CIP with Shermaine, Jaqueline today. Bao Yi joined in later after her guitar CCA. CIP Was from 9.30 to 5.30, and we reached there early. Slacked at the nearby coffee shop( literally, selling coffee) where Sher and Jac bought a donut and I, an eggtart.






Met our boss Mr Koh, and he gave me the key for the retail outlet. Left for the shop(okay, retail cart) we were to open after that, and cos I came yesterday I (sort of) knew how to unpack the stuff and the cart and all. If I recall correctly, we sold teddy bears, handphone hangers, shawls, scarfs, shirts, toilet paper holders, tissue packets, shorts, more teddy bears, tic tac toe boxes, dolls, Christmas Cards, photo frames, towels, etc etc. Too many la.



Had to fold all the shirts. Pack up all the stuff and arrange them 'nicely'.






We didnt even finish setting up the shop before the 1st customer popped in to buy a scarf. Then someone else came in to buy this bag which didnt exactly look nice(it was just too gaudy). Was happy that the bag was gone, it was pretty much an eyesore. All the while the lady was like, " eh this bag very nice right?" All the while I was just nodding my head and saying yes but, well, I wasnt exactly thinking the same way.






Funny thing i realised was this, when there are no customers, ur shop is as empty as a jacob's kettle. When 1 comes, ALL comes. So we could be slacking 1 minute, then totally on all fours the next.



Went for lunch, and speaking of lunch, baoyi and I had a horrible experience yesterday. We wereeating fishball noodles then bao suddenyl shrieked. I turned to her and she was horrified, pointing at something inside the bowl. "WHAT"'S THAT IN MY SOUP!!" I looked inside. Guess? A freaking CATERPILLAR. Like WTH. Not an ant, a caterpillar. Its like a hospital for goodness sakes, the environment is supposed to be practically sterilised, and there it was, green caterpillar happily resting on the cooked, souped vegetables. Both of us went off our food. Baoyi nearly puked. And I cant blame her.

I marched up to the stall to complain, so they refunded us with a word of thanks. One of the shop keepers even said, " This one got protein la!" WTH WTH WTH. Protein then you eat la, big hairy hog.

Bought Milo to settle Baoyi's stomach, she said she kept tasting bile in her mouth cos of the vomit. Poor thing.
Back to today. Jac and Shermaine went off to help this lady for a survey, while Baoyi and I continued the shop.
Boss came to close the shop and told him to help out at the retail outlet at another block. Met shermaine along the way, then was dismissed soon after. ;)
