Monday always seems to screw me up, it's not my day.
Anger, as it builds emotionally, release adrenalin. Blood pressure rises. The heart rate speeds. Blood flows faster. Glycogen stored in the body tissues convert to simple sugars and muscle action. Stored power is made immediately available for explosive action but social laws prohibit your from expressing your anger in violence, you have to suppress it and in the make fo this mis-spent anger comes exhaustion.
Those nasty customers always never fail to turn up on a monday to screw my whole week upside down. It's always been an eye opener for me, for goodness sake, to see people of all walks of life. Quite frustrated to see customer denying my words of professionalism, though they ARE ALWAYS ignorant without knowledge of expertise, really made me looked like an idiot...
Case 1: Husband and wife came into showroom demanding for a quotation, ironically always mentioning about the I.D, I.D he has, yet stupidly choose the cheapest product. It quite contradicting of the financial wealth he has, hiring an I.D yet choosing the bloody cheapest product in my showroom. Well, he didn't seems quite happy when i " hang myself up to sell". Don't care, take it or leave it. It was a choppy process though, my life is shortened by a year or two....
Case 2: Woman in forties came in, was taking her own sweet time to see the products we carry. Living in condo yet so stingy, always calculating dollar and sense in front of me, no choice, the 1st and last rule: customers are always right. I can't be bothered with her, just did the things i supposed to do and ignore her for all i care. Then she saw a product on the showcase, and asked for a smaller piece. I gave her as requested, and she was like bargaining and complaining that the two products are different. God dammn it, i've said my piece, since you said it's different, it's your business, and i don't think you can afford it. my life is shortened by five to ten years from anger that i suppressed.
Case 3: Mother and daughter spent endless hours choosing stuff from the showroom. I couldn't be bothered with them discussing which is nice, i just stand at a distance, busy smsing my friend. Please let me know when you'll be ready. I'll be waiting, demanded from a sample of my product which i reluctantly gave her, and the 1st word wasn't thanks, it's to comment that i'm a stingy fella, what the fu*k!!!! I've to take instructions from my boss and customer come down on me, i'm sandwiched between. Ought to be thankful rather than saying something hurtful, asssss.........
Anyway, night seems to perk up by news from kpo queen. Somebody is getting married, wowww, it's the 1, 2, i think it's the third unexpected BIG BIG news ba, friends, friends.... Life is always full of unpredictable events and incidents. Seems like i'm the only one left on the s _ _ _ _, haha, i don't mind, i'm binded to the commitments i have now....
Saturday without bro was a peaceful one, dad and mom and i went shopping. Cristofori is relocating, no more piano sales here, but prices was like slashed but half.... It's the right time to invest in it... We walked in, dozen of pianos had a SOLD on it. The young salesman dressed in coat came over, started to talk about his products, trying to charm us with his music skills, gosh!! very charismatic, i was smitten, haha (not to mention mom too).... Suddenly, the hamamatsu brand caught my eyes, the digital was going at a affordable price, i was tempted.... Mom and dad seems pleased with it, but space constraint was an influencing factor, the plan to buy backfired...
Jing was telling me about her goals in life in music. It's quite happy to see her back into the music world with me, and she's the chance for piano, cool man... It's quite a big break for her, we talked about teacher always wanting us to learn elementary stuff and techniques and IT'S NOT THE QUANTITY THAT COUNTS, IT'S THE QUALITY THAT MATTERS. Scores for dunno what world music really made my fingers tangled up. Now that the exam obstacle is over, my style of learning had also changed, teacher forced me to be very independent, dependent on myself for any progress... i thought that it was the wrong move, i wasn't really hard on myself. It's always the determination in me that really boost my energy level...
It's always a happy thing to hear and see how friends progress in life, be it in career or music, or other aspects, i am happy to have friends to share happiness with or for them to share their joy with me.
