Today's the 3rd time so far that I have a day off from work. Sometimes I find that work takes up lots of time and prevents me from having my own leisure. On the other hand, working at M&S is fun as well as quite relaxing. 2 days ago (26th May) Naz mentioned in the briefing that sales figures for the day before (the 25th May) were very poor. About $4000 only. That day (during the briefing), I was the only person available for the Mens' Department. Wendy Tang took 3 day's leave, Joy was on off, Auntie Cadie and Qing were on MC. I felt a bit of pressure on me so I guess I'd just have to do my best to drive sales that day. I know I did serve quite a few customers to my best that. Then yesterday's briefing, sales for the entire outlet was $23k+ almost $24k, missed our target by a bit only. But out of the $23k, Menswear did a huge chunk of $7000+, even beating Ladieswear and Lingerie. All attention was focused on me as Naz asked me how I did it alone and what was my biggest transaction for that day. I didn't know how to reply her, just saying that a lady in that morning, bought $300 worth of formal long sleeve shirts.
Not only today's Dumpling Day, today's also my graduation day. 3 years of accumulated work finally comes down to this final moment where everybody will officially graduate from Singapore Poly. Somehow I don't feel much excitement as it's inevitable more or less. Perhaps the only regret is not being awarded the Diploma with Merit as my grades were not good enough to fight with those better students.
Ray's graduation ceremony ended yesterday so went over to his house to borrow his tie. And at the same time Uncle Francis and Dua Kor gave me an Ang Bao as a sign of congratulations for my successful poly graduation! Kinda surprised me and I was so paiseh!
Later, only my mom will be inside the auditorium to witness the ceremony. I've already invited Ah Ma to come as well, but it will depend on weather Uncle Tony can take leave to take care of Kai and Ariel. Later after the ceremony, Jacy will be joining me as well. There will be lots of photos to be taken. Hope this event will be a memorable one!
