Best thing I did !

I think, the BEST THING that I have done, in this lifetime, is to have chosen my hubby as my hubby !

He is definely the much much much better half. I really really love everything about him so much that I cannot ask for more ! I really must must say, I love you everyday. I treasure every single day I have with him. I wonder how is it that he can be so patient and tolerant of me ?

Building Friendships

I realise that I need to be DIFFERENT from my parents ! I want so much to do things differently from them. It is not that I do not appreciate them for what they have done for their kids, i.e., me and my siblings, but I just feel that its too much scarifice and hard work on themselves ! They worked so hard so hard in their younger days and now are left with little or no real friends to hang out with. I want to be different. I want to build a strong network of friends, so that I can maintain healthy lifestyle and relationships even after I retire. I am sure I can do this.

Olivia Ong

Wow, I did not know that Singapore has such a talent ! such a pity that she's been exported ! Looks like Singaporean will only do well if they are overseas :( I really like this gal !

Gut-less

I learnt that I am still gut-less today ! I dare not face the truth and is still over-whelmingly concerned about what others think of me ! SHIT ! Tomorrow, I will cook dinner, and will tell my hubby that I am not going back to my in-law's place for dinner :(

Different ways to say the same thing !

Today I went to my favourite soya bean store to buy a take away bean curd, and as their regular customer, I knew its $2. But when the counter staff, a Chinese national lady, sweetly told me, its $2.20, I said, wah, increase price ah .... guess what, she said its a price adjustment since 1 Jan, and in a the sweetest tone she could. Wow ! I thought, how well she put it across, she said, the price adjustment is not across the board, only for some products ..... such, I believe, comes from both training and lots of self initiative. First, I really believe that there is some kind of adjustment .... cos, the packaging has changed to a nicer looking box, but perhaps, the contents has reduced, I cant tell anymore, since the size of the box has changed. So, the next time you want to increase your price, please change the way you package the same product, so that there is no way to make comparison, and make your customer believe that the extra 10% is to pay for something additional, when in fact, they may not be getting at all ....... :) At the end of the day, I am still a willing customer .... :) what a sweet success !
