Floriental

So at the moment, i am juggling reading three books: Elixir by Hilary duff, 7th Harry Potter and The Unbearable Lightness of being. I am most further in the Hilary duff book, it is pretty good so far, and the writing isn't to bad but i don't quite like the pace of the novel, it seems to have a slow development and the novel isn't that long. I take ages to read nowadays because when i get home from work, i'm too tired to do anything using my mind. Anywhoo i can give a better review when i am finished with the novels.
One of the things about working in mychemist, is that there a lot of nice giftsets especially this time of year and it makes you really want to buy them. i don't need it myself but i always wanted to get it as a present for someone else and then i realise that i have no one to give it to, also i can't keep it myself because i have a lot of perfumes but then again.... There's this mens giftset which is a Ralph Lauren one, and it has miniature bottles of the pony perfume range and it is so cute, quite useless for me because i am a girl but i really just want to buy just to have but its also $70, i would get it for one of my guy friends but i think thats a bit much to spend. Also in addition to the giftsets, there are also cheap perfumes that i don't need but also want to buy, like the burberry london and versace bright crystal, but if i were to buy them, it would be for someone else. when i used to work at spotlight, i used to love looking at the fabrics and wanting to buy a lot of them as well. i should work in a place that takes temptation of buying stuff. My friend was telling me about the staff discounts at other mychemists and chemist warehouse, and usually the staff discount only applies to non sale items, but apparently at chemist warehouse in footscray, they're dodgy and do the discount on sale items as well. i really want to try this out. so if you guys are with me and need to grab anything from the two stores, i can get you guys a discount because sharing is caring and i like the feeling of using the staff discount, makes you feel like you're part of a club. yes i know that sounded lame. i like to avoid buying things from the actual mychemist that i work at though, for some reason i find that awkward, its the same reason why i don't go to the spotlight i use to work at anymore. oh yeah another observation this year, less Vietnamese customers have  been asking if i speak viet this year, last year i kept getting asked that. anywho i like to pretend that i don't speak Viet because its pretty bad and i don't like anyone else hearing it. or maybe its just that i don't look Viet?

haha, just used my voicemail for the first time, i sound quite scared in my message. anywho i just listened to one of the messages and it felt quite weird. i wonder if any of you guys ever leave messages, because i know in america they use it a lot, but that is my generalization from watching gilmore girls. i never leave a message when i get prompted to a machine, because i sound awkward and i don't know if anyone actually checks them.

Love Squealer.
