My Last Post…

It’s near to 4 years and I think it’s about time (to stop). :o)

Ha.. I believe you have already realised, I’m also not contributing much lately anyway. There are enough sites out there to keep you entertained and enriched. So… Need not miss my writing at all. :p

I have enough fun of the feel of being a writer-of-anyhow and I certainly have learnt quite bit in the process. Haha.. Thanks for all the readership (from some pals, some *little pals, some other readers – known and unknown, local and overseas). You all are just great, accompanying me and kept me going on writing all these while. And of course, thanks to J for the initial encouragement for me to start a blog. If you remember, you were the one explaining to me what a blog is all about. :o)

I may or may not return to writing-of-any-sort. But even if I do, I don’t think it would be here anymore. Must try something new mah.

Once again, thanks.
Bye-bye..

祝大家身心安康！

Thank-You Power

I was in a store browsing something I like. A sales assistance was nearby and she explained the discount that tagged along. I can only thank her.

Oh, I noted another thing I like and it comes in a series. She was kind enough to personally bring me to the other section where the related items are. But sadly, those related items which I was interested in were not sales items. Nevertheless, I have to thank her.

I was left alone to slowly browse through those items, the way I like it for I don't really like to be so closely monitored all the time.

I picked my choices, willing to get those not-on-sales items as well. I walked towards the cashier and along the way I noted that sales assistance was nearby. I detoured a bit and approached her to say "thanks" again.

To my surprise....

She : Hope you like them.

Me : Yes. Sure. I think I like them.

I smile and was ready to leave for the cashier.
Just when my back was turned to her...
She called out : Erm... You wait. You follow me.

I obeyed and I tailed.
She went near the customer service section, scanned something and came out with a piece of printed note.
She passed the note to me and said : You can use this.

It was a 20% discount voucher. Wahoo..

I think she is so cool! :o)

There were just countless of instances where I get unpublished (not stipulated) discounts by just some simple exchange of smiles and saying "thank you".

No no no... I am not suggesting how infectious or how charming my smiles are, or how powerful are my "thank you-s". I so believe you have your fair shares of discounts that came your way in a surprise manner. Certainly you were behaving very well then. Haha...

所以，
这只是提醒你、我、他。
人的心情若是愉悦的，什么都好商量。
人的行为若是有礼的，什么也有得讲。

再说，
莞尔一笑，你也会有一种自然魅力散发。:o)

是的
幸福就是一朵野花
用自己的生命展示美丽
这就是幸福了

@ Cafe..

Wa.. I actually got a chance to sign in a café. Quite a break-through for me lor.

It was a music-school event, with all their students and teachers coming together to put up a concert-of-sort in a café. I am not at all related to the music-school, and so I became the so-called guest-singer.

Haha.. I am exaggerating a little lah. Not that glamorous lah.

I know how nervous I can get, and hence it is not likely I will put myself through this voluntarily.

Y enrolled himself in a key-board course some time back and so he is a student in that music-school. He was required to put up an item with the keyboard, but he needed someone to sing to his music, if not… or else… it will be just … erm… rather incomplete.

I was approached.

How to say “no”?
Aiyo… I know I will go through those nervous symptoms all over again.

And indeed, as usual, I was enveloped by nervousness : more frequent visit to the gent, heartbeat hastened, breathing a bit erratic, icy-cold hands, the drink was tasteless before my event but the same drink miraculously became nicer after my event,…

I know we will get through and we did. Haha..

I can imagine Y may approach me again in his next performance.
I can imagine myself in a situation difficult to say “no”. I don’t mind helping a pal of course, but I know I will be so so nervous and may end up affecting his performance.

By the way, listening and watching the other people performing on stage can be rather enjoyable and relaxing, but not when I’m up there myself. Still, putting myself through all these can be really funny, exciting and interesting when I think about it after the event.

So, I think I will continue to say "yes" when approached by friends and when my schedule allows. But I seriously don’t know when I can ever conquer such silly nervous-breakdown. Perhaps never….
