* days 26 to 29 . 281207-311207 .as the prices of discounted products in the store were in the midst of being updated , there were many instances where disgruntled customers rejected the product after realising they were charged a different price from what was shown on the plannogram .and if you thought gift wrapping was history after Christmas , think again .there were still sporadic requests for that , albeit at a rate of less than two a day .on day 29 , my last day under the Christmas Project for Kelly Services , several customers really took me off guard .one of them showed me a Good Look and Loreal hair styling gel and asked me which was better ; another asked me whether using brown black hair dye is sufficient to cover the previously dyed dark brown .while i could circumvent the first customer by seeking help from my assistant manager , i had no such luck for the second and so i had no choice but to make up some numbers (80-85% sufficient) .and last but not least , at about 9.45pm which is like near closing hours , an elderly couple asked me to do them a favour by wrapping 9 gifts , which i accepted despite my assistant manager's objections .that really put a meaningful twist to end off my current stint at Watsons with .----------------------------------------------------------------------had wanted to join the countdown at VivoCity after work last night , but headed home eventually after i couldn't find anyone to share the cab fare for the trip back .and guess what i was doing while the whole nation was counting down to 2008 ?well , i was clearing my bowels then . -__-ask me about new year resolutions , and i will give you a blank look .the only thing on my mind now is perhaps enlistment into NS in March and nothing more .also , from today onwards my transport concession ceases effect so i will have to pay the full adult fare instead .still , i'm hoping for world peace and stability in the year to come , as well as looking forward to the Formula One stop right here in Singapore on Sept 26 .
