Dream a Little PurPINK Fantasy~

Friday, May 13, 2005

suddenly, i have so many things that i want. it's not a need.. but an urgency to satisfy my thirst for all things beautiful - gems. to satisfy my materialism. it doesn't help to work in a world class hotel and to look at everyone around you - they all carry luxurious branded bags. but i'm not moved. it's just a name. but still, that very item itself carries prestige, gives you priority over others.

two seperate individuals come into your shop. you carry high end products, like LV. one is wearing slippers and shorts. the other carries a prada bag and looks like an rK. which one will you serve?

well, you shouldn't. once, a gentleman and his wife came into the shop. they were both dressed simply. no fashion accessories, no hint of branded labels. only one salesgirl attended to them. she believes firmly in just. everyone around you is your little fortune god, you never know. an hour later, the couple walked out happily with 300,000 worth of jewellery. they then went to LV and swept off a few thousands worth of products. so the next time you talk to someone, always keep in mind that he might just be your little fortune god.

i have to talk about this shop at wisma. MIO Italy. they have very good service. yesterday, chris and i went to that shop. we were just browsing. and so we came across MIO. nice shop with nice accessories. but the price range is usually over 100 dollars. but still.. the salesman invited us in. we were shabbily dressed. i was carrying a big runaway backpack and chris was in slippers.

"hello! want come in see??"
"price range how much?"
"around 100 and above arh..."
"so expensive arh.. i cant afford to see leh"
"don't worry lah.. we'll find something for you. anyway, it doesn't hurt to see, right? come!!!"

and so.. we were served. and i'm very very happy with their service. i walked out with a very nice accessory. something that's nice.. and fits my pocket nicely.
why i'm so overwhelmed by them, is simply because i feel the standard of service in singapore is deteriorating.

i am in a foul mood these days. i dont understand why does everyone in my family make a fuss out of nothing. the things i do are so trivial, but they have to make things so difficult. they treat me like i'm still 13. in fact i realised, i'll always stay that way in their hearts.
