Woke up in the morning and like read through google and then proceed to return my books and print my training and development report then went to take the shutter bus to the another campus and walk around the shopping mall there and then went back for lesson.
Walked home with Margaux and found that Tong was moving away today as his contact is up and he just signed a contact with a house near the Sunday market. The officials didn’t let him stay for another night. His new home was empty lol and speaking of which, the officials are coming on the 28 april for other round of checks -…-

The winds strong today, sometimes I hate my self for being so soft on myself. I had curry vege for lunch today great and the whole pack -…- then I went to the city to shop for swim wear to soak myself in the water during the holiday lol
The things there were that expensive one full swim suit is 100 plus. One set binkin and underwear is 100 plus too. So I went to dig out clearance again. Arrived at 2 plus and went home at 5 lol. Then at home tidy business process management and turn it in before 9 59pm. Was chewing onto biscuits and apple when I was editing the project guess stress factor kicks in lol. Called mum and chated with her cos I have no time to pick her calls this week after Tuesday and found that my dog is having a bad temper…
28 April 2010
Busy busy day, woke up and like went to meet sunny to borrow her chill bill then went back to the apartment to put it and took her to park and sav where I bought milk, black tea and sugar for tml big day! Then also took her to lim’s market and there I bought another pack of pearls and brown sugar. Went home and rest before going to the lab to wait for Phillippa to contact me to collect the cups and the chill bill. She did at close to 5 and she cant find lids so in the end, I borrow another chilli bill to store the water and carried 2 chilli bills to my room before I went to class late but the lecturer was not there. Lucky me! I decided to submit my assignment still despite being given another week due to the confusion.
After lecture, went home to cook the pearls and the tea. Cooked them till 1 plus to 2 and I find out that I only need one box of tea, one pack of sugar and brown sugar. So I got a pack of sugar, brown sugar and tea left. I was worried at first as the milk doesn’t seem to be thick enough. Went to bed at 2. Tml I will wake up to get ice and the milk for my tea!

Wake up like 6am to see the tea. Lucky! The milk acted up and the thickness was alright! Added more sugar to it and then went to cook breakfast before I went to buy 2 pack of ices at $7 and then a 2 litre milk at 3.20. Went home hit the ice to small pieces and put some into the container but the tea still warm. Hung tried and say its ok lol.
Walked to the hub to ask phillippa to help me transport the tea and she drove me back to the apartment where we load the stuff and back to the hub.
There I begin to set up my stall. It was quiet at first and my confidence was losing. My training and development lecturer passed by and give me a word ‘patience’. So I waited and got my first customers. Most of the people have no idea what is bubble tea, the bubble inside and some did not try because of the black pearls. So most of the time, I have to explain what it was to them.
Sales were not fast but steady, once there is a customer more would come but if no one then you have to smile and wait for the next to come. Got several nods for my milk tea which make my confidence level higher.
I spend the whole time from 10 to 1 plus at my stall. For the stall, I spilled the tea like 2 times -… and drank a small one to see how the taste is. The half way, I cut my hand and was like omg! Blood not stopping from the small cut. Get phillippa to supply me with another glove and a plaster to stop the bleeding as well as borrow tissues from the store next to my a figi food stall haha!
The pearls were going fast and tea was left more. I save some for magraux. Slashed the prices. The small without pearl is at 50 cents and the large without pearls is at a dollar. Meaning cutted 50 cents each from the sales price that was with pearls. My training and development lecturer came and bought a large from me haha.
Treated sunny, sin and her friend to milk tea, the stall beside me, the Mexicans and drank like 5 cups myself plus the small one. Went to toilet and ask sunny, sin and her friend to watch for me haha. Soon the leftover tea has the remaining tea bags at the bottom and the tea particulars which I emptied them and throw away haha!
It turn out pleasant as in that I emptied the container and did not have to take it home haha! Also got a few treats from the stall next to mine and sin bought a food for us to try lol.
Washed the chill bill in the toilet and return it to sunny and took the pot, tongs and the spooler back home to wash and rest before photography.
Well my training and development lecturer was right ‘patience’ was the key. No matter how the sales was going, I was standing there and smiling away to the audience, hoping that one of them would come forward to try.
