Need a rest

What a horrid monday yesterday was!!

It started with the usual monday meeting and people pushing responsibilities. i really dunno how long the dept can function. there is something missing obviously and the glamour and glitz of yesteryear is no longer present.

Then meeting with another horrifying customer. Yes big customer but demanding. what to do?
lasted 2 hrs...draining....and came out having a headache.

Lunch at Ikea, ok not bad, at least i get to eat my fave SeaCoast Salad!! yay! but the price now up a dollar to $6.50!! sigh..... Ikea tampines feels lousy.....still alexandra is nice and cosy. Tampines is like the cheaper, uglier version.

Then came back office, did some emails and went out again. the meeting was alright. young people. nice people. happy people. unlike the first meeting.

then went for a breather. bought an 8 Days mag, shocking news!!! - Sun Yanzi was actually cast to act opp Aniki for TurnLeft/Right!! and gasp!!! she turned it down!!! SIOW AH!!!!! i think no confident lah, scared when kena throw eggs. haha. But in the end Gigi tree trunk is no better ....yuk...

Wanted to find a place to sit a rest and read the mag.....cant find anywhere condusive! so crowded and my fave Coffee Bean closed down! sad! what happened?
so settled unwillingly for J Co Donuts. Hate this place due to the horrible death-tifying transfat SMELL!! and never liked donuts! but the place had no smell and lots of seats and cool chill out music. ok lah, try. ordered a cuppacino - $4.20...quite an alright serving and guess what they gave a free medium donut! now that was a nice surprise^^ i didnt finish it though it was tasty but hey i really salute this BreadTalk owner for his mastery in retail!!!! his concepts and marketing is really right on the DOT!!! very sharp and precise to how to target the local crowd and thats why he is so successful! the stuff may not be the best but the concept is excellent - be it breadtalk, food republic, toast box and now this. His expansion is also quick and changes his menu and products frequently. hmmmm....maybe i should learn 1 or 2 things from a master like that.
