New Friend of Mine

It was a busy Thursday morning like usual. I made my way to Sg. Wang for my 7days part time job for Playboy and Adidas. All nervous and sweating cuz I have to search for the entrance of Parkson. And while I'm busy asking the guards, a girl suddenly tap on my shoulder and asked, "Are you under Sharon?". I immediately nodded and guess what? Instant friend! We walked to the exact location, again, sweating. Haha.

10 to 10 is really no joke. Although we are wearing flats, we could feel our leg aching, like so severe. First day usually is the longest. Not many customers passed by, normally those there looking for expensive perfumes, not those we are selling. Middle-East tourist took interest in the brands we are promoting though. Sales were so-so, we got really bored, and talking always takes place when you have nothing to do.

And oh! My this little new friend, she is taller than me by 2cm, she called herself Fish! Bubbly personality, she is the most positive thinking person I've ever met. She smiles like 24/7, she got really excited over foods, and incredibly she cannot grow fat no matter how much she consume. 7 days with her is fun, we talked so much, sometimes we share stories like we have known each other for years.

Often, we have different perception in almost everything in the world, well, like for instance, Wang Lee Hom is handsome for her, but for me, I think he sucks big time. She thinks the world is fair and just, I think the world is corrupted. She likes Ck Perfume's bottle, I think it looks simply normal. Many more on the list, haha, but however I like her attitude of always being able to look at the best of every situation she is in. She hardly grumbles, she does all she can, always stay active and manage her life in a happy-go-lucky manner. As for myself, I kept things to my own, got so stress over things that is not even an issue to me, stuck in the situation that I often claim I couldn't get out, but in fact, I could be like her if I wanted to be.

I mean, I can smile all the way, I can always look at the bright side of everything, I can always get up when I stumble, I can be myself. But why am I not this way? Guess to have that optimistic thinking is not as easy as ABC. It requires courage, it requires ability, and it requires willingness. I like how she carries herself. I see the light in her that often shine all way through. Who would not love to have her around? =)

I'm always a believer of change. Nothing else matter if one refuses to change. Change is the key to success. Being optimistic is hard, but I hope I could at least smile like her.

And yeah, this job is not one of the best I've ever had due to its working hours and its wages, but I gained a friend. And that's what that counts.

Happy-go-lucky Fish and I.
