Its not about Santa, or Snow or Partying (OK i'm officially "OVER and DONE" with that)
You know what? Christmas = SALEs all over the globe!!
And Christmas songs (especially the oldies) reminds me so much of the days i had my first job in East India Company (EIC a subsidiary of Metrojaya) as a sales co-ordinator at the age of 17, right after my SPM.. I was young, energetic and very hardworking.
I stayed in Balik Pulau Penang and i have to take the earliest bus to Georgetown (EIC is located at KOMTAR building in town) (25km hilly and steep roads with sharp corner - mat rempits love this roads) and woke up so early and bathed in COLD water.. work work work.. for a mere RM480 basic salary.. i worked hard and i learnt alot from that first job. most importantly, i learn how to communicate with all walks of life, old young, locals, foreigners, men!! everyone.. 3 shifts morning 9-6, evening 11-8 and noon 1-10. and if i miss the 10pm bus home (VIA relau) i have to wait for 10:30pm bus (VIA Teluk Kumbar which takes me hours to reach home) but i was loyal, i stayed until they offered me to do my matriculations in KMK (Kulim Mara College) 6 months later. I think i picked up my fashion sence when i worked there, i really enjoyed dressing up the mannequins and i love to fold tons of clothes in a confined store room (with very limited head clearance - some had no head clearance at all!!!) and dont talk about OSHA.. nobody knew what is OSHA i guess.. *wink!!
Why i love Christmas? yup its the fond memories i have when i was working in EIC.. and all the beautiful normal everyday things that suddenly look so pretty and desirable, given a facelift with the ribbons and the boxes.. all pretty.. and i love it!! the make up set, the eye shadow pallete, make up brushes, the perfume set, the watches, the shoes (LOVELY SHOES with DIRT CHEAP PRICE TAG), the party dresses (opss!!) yeah i love ribbons, and pretty boxes.. call me crazy but i love collecting boxes i mean.. gift boxes.. and wrapping papers and ribbons.. (ok, that explain why i have a lot of boxes lying around the house because the big boxes contains the small pretty ones)
Looking forward for Christmas.. i will normally spend so much money in December, i think its not just me.. a lot of people must have gone nuts if they visit the malls in December.. a pair of RM600++ ALDO shoes will only cost RM100++. VERY VERY GOOD bargain! and my friend just bought an original COACH purse for only RM280.00!! Demn!!
So people! dont go out if you dont have money in your pocket and if u have money, pls make a wish list prior to visiting the mall or u'll go broke, a toothpaste will look so good with a pretty free gift and cute wrapping, its just that u dont need that much toothpaste in a month, dont u?? a facial foam looks so cute with an upgraded packaging that makes u suddenly wants to but the whole set and not to mention.. they have free gifts for sanitary pads too!! cute little boxes and some brands even give a diary!! SOOO TEMPTING (or i'm just another cheapskate - heheh and don't tell me u are not! everyone love free gifts!)
Ok.. enough of my temptations.. idont know how to curb it anymore!! just dont give me money or i'll just spend it on another pair of shoes or another pretty cute dress..
My advise to you is DO control yours dear!!
To the people that are celebrating Christmas - have a blast celebration with your love ones.. spread love all around us!!
cheers!!
XOXO
