I really hate it.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has faced this.
There was this time when I entered Kiehl's at Heerens, hoping to know more about their famous lip balm.
This sales assistant came up to me, looked at me for 2 seconds with very psychotic eyes, smiled and said, "What would you like to know about it?" in a tone where it sounded to me as if like "Yah, it's famous. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it. What else is there to tell you about the lip balm? I doubt you can afford it, get lost, girl."
What was worse that everytime I asked the sales something, he spends 2 to 3 seconds looking into my eyes before he actually opens his mouth to answer me.
I was pretty upset after walking out from that store with my sister.
Oh, and I did buy the lip balm he introduced.
Probably this is why many people say Singapore doesn't have good service.
Now, does that Kiehl's have a Singapore Service Star?
I hope not, because they are definitely, surely and 100% going to ruin Singapore's already flawed reputation about poor service.
Just because one works in a branded shop means one is loaded.
It just means you're too stupid to get job that allows you to sit on a comfy chair in an office, idiot.
I swear the next time I see that sales standing in the store when I'm about to step in wanting to know more about a certain product, I'm definitely going to roll my eyes at him and walk away straight in his face.

I took some time after I got my driving license to think through what I should be doing next.
"I need to get a job. A real job. Not teaching cello," I told myself.
I sat in front of my laptop one fine day and started searching through the jobs available on JobsCentral.
I sent my resume to Recruit Express upon seeing that they have some healthcare positions, and within a few hours an agent got back to me.
Met the agent up, and we talked about what kind of jobs I was looking for.
Less than a week, I got a job.
And yes, I mean I'm hired now.
I'm now a Patient Care Associate at National University Hospital.
And tomorrow I'm going down to Recruit Express to pay them the introduction fee.
It feels incredible, knowing that I have a job now.
The pay isn't a lot, but after some calculations it should be sufficient for me to save up, pay for school fees and my daily expenses.
You know, it feels really good to know that I can start paying for my bills.
I suppose this is what Aizuddin said, about working.
I don't really know what words to use to describe how I feel right now.
It's just...
A very good feeling.
Very excited and eager to start the trainings, and especially start work.
This is one tough job I'll say, but overall I think I can handle it.
Wow.
I want to start work soon!
