LIFE lesson no.3:

***

life is like climbing a mountain.

large at the base. narrow at the top.

whoever climbs to the peak, stands alone.

***

life is just like that.

those that are unable to persist will fall back down to the ground.

the rest will be left on the mountain to climb further--UP

***

education is the same.

there is only ONE place at the top,

but plenty of space at the bottom.

streaming and examinations eliminates the weaker students.

the TOP depicts strength in mental capabilities.

***

i'm still climbing the mountain.

when results come out this coming friday,

it would mark the END of the climb for many.

***

i wish to climb further--UP

DON'T YOU?

anybody want to join me for 3rd language course???
=)))

***

how about kayaking???

The airport is a place of mixed emotions.

***

Right before I opened the shop today, I heard somebody wailing. A girl sat in front of the immigration entrance lamenting at life. She was crying. The father seemed very embarrassed.

He said, “你不要再演戏了.”

But it just led to more wailing from the girl. She looks at least 15 or perhaps even my age. She was choking on her words but I could vaguely make out what she was trying to say.

“我不要回家!” she said, repeatedly.

Her bawling led to a crowd forming. The airport police was called upon and they tried both the soft and hard tactics to cajole her into moving to one side. She was blocking the immigration entrance. When words weren’t enough to make her move, a lady officer threatened to handcuff her. Of course the lady officer did not abuse her own authority but something had to be done to move this over-grown child from the entrance.

Force was resorted. They dragged her. One grabbed the arms and the other, the legs. They dragged her to the side of the entrance. That was all they could afford to move. She struggled. She tried to kick free as the officers carried her to the side. She was left on the floor and she snuggled into a ball. She was still crying. Almost hyper-ventilating.

If I were the father, I would have slapped the kid (even though I am very much a peace lover, and of course I do not promote violence. The kid was just too much to bear.)

If that is a place I call, “家”. I would gladly go to it. No need to drag or coax me into going home. So I do not understand why she would say, “我不要回家.”

Even if the father gave in and stayed on, the next time they reach the airport, the child would still act like a schizoid. So no point giving in now and suffer more later.

In the end, the girl stood up and stopped crying. I don’t know what happened after that because there were customers in the shop. Maybe the airport police negotiator came to talk to her. Haha. Major movement of airport human resources.

***

another point to add, if the girl thinks that by sitting on the floor and bawling would make her father 丢脸 so he would give in to her. then she's wrong!!

脸是自己丢的，面子是人家给的。

CUSHION 制造篇...

***

-it all started when i bought an iron-on in langkawi.

(the iron-on) *grins* RM9.90!!! (less than SGD5)
cheap nehz~

***

-then i tried sourcing for the perfect cloth.
i searched. plaza sing, nope. cloth shop at market, nope.
then my mama found 新大陆!!!
it was a cloth mall(shopping mall that sells nothing but cloth aka cloth mall. lol.)
situated near paya lebar. just abit further up the road before city plaza.

revealing the cloth. so cutez~ $2.50 per metre.
cheap nehz~

***

-then it was the sewing. *stitch*sew*stitch*sew*
thus the cushion was born!!!

CUSHION!!! cutez~
the total cost of the cushion(not considering the fact that time is money, if not the cushion would have cost alot. =.=) is less than 8bucks!!!
cheap nehz~
and of course i did not include the amount of thread i've wasted during my tug-o-war sessions with the lovely sewing machine. (dwang~i should have taken a pic of my bin, loaded with thread)

***

*megawide smile*

i made my own cushion!! *grins*

my maiden experience in attempting to use a sewing machine.

***

the sewing machine...

super old and super hard to use. =.=
runs on electricity. i had so many failure attempts before trying it out on my actual work piece.

***

the actual work piece...(in the midst of production)
-i'm unable to upload the image of my work labour. sorry for any inconvenience caused.-

***

the masterpiece!!!....(see the beam of light---it's the aura.)

it's a bit stiff so the drawstring doesn't really stay when drawn.
(if you get what i mean =D)

***

credits:

many thanks to my mama's friend who graciously lend me her sewing machine. and let it be in constant risk of my hands.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!
though i'm a little late but it's always better to be late than never. =)
GST hike, flour hike, taxi fares hike. everything also hike but pay no hike. even angbaos also no hike. >.<
i'm here to blog about good news. =))) i was richer by $16.50 yesterday! not because i won that money on the mahjong table but i manage to recover the money shortage i had a few days ago. wee~

***

that day was a bad day...business was slightly better than usual but at the end of the day i had a shortage of $16.50. =(
that day there was this china lady who tried to snatch a freebie from me. she demanded for the freebie because her purchase was quite alot. i tried shoving her a freebie from some other brands but she insisted on this CD makeup pouch. she even threatened that she won't make any purchases if i don't give in to her. i had to call up my supervisor and she had no choice but to let the customer have her way. but at the end of the day. i keyed the wrong button. instead of pressing the "absr tax" button, i pressed "cash". (how smart~ =.=)

***

but that was not the highlight of the day. there was a case of theft!! *brightens up*
actually i was rather calm because afterall i don't have to pay for the missing good. =p because it's the security's fault for not glueing her(security's a girl) eyes on the cctv.
it was rather amazing. the whole event happening so fast and how the security and the thief became like best friends and ended up exchanging their facebooks. O.o
the person who stole the perfume was a lady as well. a blond yet not angmoh with dark skin tone lady. she had her husband(or boyfriend) with her and they have a kid.

***

short interruption: actually i'm really lazy to blog about the whole event and the exact details of it because those that read my blog already know the story!! haha

***

in short, she was later caught then she came back to pay for the item. no police report made. but she and her hubby kissed in front of my counter. O.O
(bewildered ~shocked~overwhelmed...envy~)...(haha the last one doesn't count...create effect only)
no sense of shame or remorse. boos~

then the lady told the security to keep it a secret and she'll give her(security) her(lady) facebook. LAME~

then the security said, " woah~ you have a facebook?? that's so cool!! i have one too!"

then they exchanged their hotmails. =.=

***

end of story

(by the way i realised my mistake only yesterday and i informed my supervisor who was very kind and did a refund for me. so i got back my $16.50!! woots~)

lack of updates~

***

working is physically exhausting but it can really be very boring at times.

i asked to be stationed at the check in outlet. business is very poor there. so i get to sit down all the time. =))) *smart huiyuan*
but perhaps not so smart. look at what it made me do...(pictures speaks a thousand words)

***
