Suzuki Cup Champs

So we won the AFF (Suzuki Cup) final, even though we lost 2-1 to Indonesia in the second leg. Did the lasers from the first leg do the trick? You'll never know.....

It's only a month into this summer break, and I'm already bored...

Christmas Eve

I'm sure I've memorised where the wrapping paper in Popular is: At the back, in the stationery section.

And you wouldn't believe how many people prefer to let trainees do all the Christmas present wrapping for them. I won't tempt fate by saying "How hard can that be?", but I really do feel that present wrapping should be part of a person's life skills. Not handed over to somebody in a shop to do for you.

The Dark Side...

... is always pretty cool.

-QotD: Come to the dark side - we have cookies!-

Christmas shopping

So everyone's coming out in full Christmas shopping mode. Everywhere you go, you see Christmas decorations [you know, loads of snowflakes, Santa going round with goodies for the kids, powdered styrofoam pellets on some plastic evergreen Christmas tree replica], reminding you that you should buy something to avoid disappointing people who actually do celebrate Christmas. Which in turn translates into plenty of income for retailers. Whoopee :)

Work

So I'm enjoying being behind the counter at Popular in Empire Subang. It's nice to be able to choose what songs will be played throughout the day in the shop; it's interesting to see what books people normally buy; and it's intriguing to see how much money Malaysians are actually spending on books.

Fun stuff.

Dust

So the neighbours decided to overhaul their living quarters. Sadly it's left us trapped in the middle, breathing in dust and paint fumes. I suppose it's the only disadvantage of living so close to colleges, everyone wants to rent their place out to college students.

Subang

Things have certainly changed around here. More high rise buildings and apartments dot the skyline.. Neighbours have changed too.. Even the great leafy tree in the park opposite has been pruned back.

Mmmmm.. lovely to be back here though. Lots more stuff to be done while I'm here :)
