♣ Mel's Scoop ♣

Posted by mel at 7:58 PM

had a short shift today so i was able to drop by the mall to get stuff. my butter fingers came out to play, such bad timing considering how crazily busy we were. i knocked everything over. i think i spilled over 8 shots of coffee, spilled water, spilled hot milk all over my hands, knocked over a whole blender of guava smoothie *i smelt like guava :P* name it, i've knocked it over. no point crying over spilt milk right?

the birthday gift.

they wrapped it for me.

you know how you sometimes wish to be invisible? for the millionth time, my wish went down the gutters. i was sniffing perfumes hoping that the roving perfume lady would miss me every round she made. after 2 close rounds, she spotted me. everything was a whirlwind from then on; she kept shoving me all sorts of perfumes to sniff. geez lady, cant i sniff in peace? so bloody annoying! anyhow, it was time to pay and by then, i was all whoozy already. then, i felt kind of guilty for having such mean thoughts and for mentally cursing her. i bet she served no one before me and therefore became so eager to serve me ~~just to overcome her bore~~ with the satisfying thought that she can finally do her job. oh, why am i so cynical today?

now, i personally dont like 'small-talking'. i say 'how are you?' to almost every customer but do i really mean it? ~~no.~~ hahah, no, let me explain. i used to take "how are you?" as a 'serious' question but then people never gave me time to answer properly and i thought to myself "asshole, you dont really care, do you?" since then, 'how are you?' has turned into more of a greeting to me than a question. anyway, back to the perfume shopping, i notice how much i veer off subject. okay, so there i was standing at the counter. i realized what a bitch i was so i SINCERELY asked "how was your day?" then, $^*()#^&&@^*()#& oh my god, how is it possible for someone to speak so many words with one single breath? i mentally hit myself for asking that stupid question. but surprisingly the conversation got interesting and we talked and talked and talked. just as she handed me the bag, she reached down the cupboard and gave me something "oh, i'll chuck in a prada shower gel" ^^!! then i thought 'im so going to ask every sales person that question!'

met up with dad at starbucks. went the walker & halls to help dad pick out mum's valentine's gift. mum always wanted a pandora bracelet. we're making her dreams come true :) i only followed to guide dad in the likings of female.
