oh finally!! someone understood us sales assts!! OH-thank-u-thank-u-my-lord. i copied this passage from mr miyagi's blog and he is a humorous man indeed which brings me to an incident tat happens to my colleague yesterday when she help her brother to call up tour agencies to find out the price of a airline tix to Bangkok.

"hi, may i know what is the price of a airline tix from singapore to bangkok for 3 days?"

"can u call tomorrow?"

"Why?"

"Because we have closed for the day."

"Oh! Then you shouldn't have answered the phone!"

*SLAMS down receiver*

omg. at this time i was guffawing away in my seat.

Mr Miyagi writes..
"Speaking of competition, a friend who's an entrepreneur (no, not LMD) tells me that Ang Mohs are actually better customers than locals. They don't haggle as much, and they don't say stupid things like:

I came to your shop and it was closed. You should've put up a 'CLOSED' sign so I know it was closed.

to which my friend couldn't help but respond with:

OK, next time I close I'll put up a 'CLOSED' signboard so you, living in Clementi, will know that we are closed because you can see Chinatown from there.

This was the same customer who said:

I am coming at 11.30.

when my friend had said:

We open at 12.

I think they've got too much fat in their brains."

well said! mr miyagi! not juz fat in their brains, but mostly lard in their brains.
