Happy New Year! Goodbye 2008 and Hello 2009!

Haven't been blogging for some time liao. Today being the last day of 2008, this is going to be my last blog for the year. Looking back, a lot of things has in this year. Both good and bad. I won't go into it. But I have indeed learn a lot this year. Hopefully 2009 will be a better year for each and everyone of us.

Have been busy working for the past days since last monday, over christmas and the weekends. Today is the only day I have taken a break from the shop. Spend the day doing stocks at home and loading/unloading for stocks to the shops. And went for a buffet dinner with family at Traders Hotel. It was a great dinner and I am stuffed! Haven't ate so much for such a long time. Ate due I nearly puked!

Haven't been doing my accounts since the 11th of dec (if I didn't remeber wrongly). Dunno when will I get to do my accounts again. A group of guys shoplifted from one of our shops sometime last week. The act was discovered only 1 hr after the offenders have left. Really have got to watch out from now onwards. Don't wish to incur more losses of stocks through shoplifting.

Ok lah...enough for now. Happy New Year! Wish that 2009 will be a good year for everyone of us. Have a blessed one. Cheers! See ya in 2009!

Haven't been blogging for some time. A lot of things have happened during these period. So many things that I can't be bothered to blog about it. Haven't been feeling too well lately too. Having a really sore throat and bad flu. Feels like I'm losing my voice soon. But no break for me, still have to work. Will have to be in the shop on days staffs are off.

Talking about staffs, I really really dislike staffs who give their boss the attitude esp esp esp esp when: 1. they ignore you when you are talking to them by looking at other things/places rather than at you; and 2.(which is even worst) when they retaliate by shouting at you just because they are not happy that you tell them not to do something. Not only me, but many others, find the attitude of such staffs very childish. If they carry on like this, they won't be able to work long in any company. All they think is that being able to do good sales is everything. They are so so so so so WRONG. In actual fact, in any and every place, ATTITUDE is always in number one position (esp in a retail/service company like us). Haven't they heard the saying "Your attitude determines your altitude".

As for sales in the different shop, I can't say which shop is doing better than the other. Ever since we started out in Suntec in Apr last year, we have been greatly disappointed. Now sales in Suntec sometimes can be better than in Far East. And vice versa. Still...the overall sales is slow...due to the current recession (economic slowdown) that is going on. Guess everyone is tighting their belts and spending less. Even the F&B industry is being affected, what more can I say about us in the retail industry. Sigh...I just hope and pray hard this recession won't last too long. And things will start picking up soon.

Jia you...Gambatte... San Street! We can do it!
