Thank god it's almost Friday!

*zHigUo + xiNhUi = kUkU & LaLa *

In the past, I'll always admire my friends and family when they tell me TGIF! For me, my previous jobs either don't allow me to have weekend offs or have both consecutive days of the weekend off. Fortunately, now not only do I get to have both weekends, I don't have to work on public holidays too! Yipee!

Last few days I was pretty stressed out because I had to study and do "homework" for our product knowledge and prepare my proposal for role play with my team. Actually sales talk has never been an issue to me, since I had been doing sales for the past few years. Basically no matter what we sell, there are still bound to have similarities in the way and methods we do in the sales. In the past the products I sell belongs to Business 2 Customers(B2C), now, it's Business 2 Business(B2B) . Though as I mention selling is pretty similar no matter what product you it is, but there are still certain tactics you got to acquire and discover in order to achieve the best out of the business.

There were pretty lots of things I got to learn during my training. I would say, the training programme was very detail and heavy. Fortunately, I'm proud to say that I managed all my studying and homework well, and I managed to do quite well during my role play. All of them were impressed that I could do it so well during my first attempt, and that I was smooth and confident during the role play. I'm so happy!!! Baby was nervous for me too and wanted to know my performance, luckily I did pretty well and he was so proud of me!!

Heez... I was telling Baby last night that I still remember during my interview, my manager asked me what was my motivation in my job other than the monetary factor. I refrained myself from saying my true feelings as I had to present myself as more rational. So I said my family and parents are my motivation. Actually deep down in my heart, I yearned to say Baby was my motivation. I guess it's because I'm dependant on Baby most of the time, he is my pillar of support, and whenever I feel down, I will think of him and tell myself to Jia You!

I guess everybody has different ways of motivating themselves, for me, Baby is my motivation. I guess there is no right or wrong, rational or irrational way of thinking, it's just how we feel deep down in our hearts. =)

Today after work we went to Plaza Singapura to do some walk walk and we had our dinner at Hot Tomato. It's a new restaurnt I guess, course I have never seen it before, and Baby suggested eating there since we were both hungry and don't want to crack our brains anymore on deciding. I thought that we made the right decision, as the food was pretty fresh and nice!


Vegetable soup with home made fresh bread!


My King Prawn Aglio Oglio...nice!!


Baby's Sirloin Steak with Aglio Oglio..!! Very nice too!!

Overall, the food was nice and fresh, and the portions were just nice! Though it's a small restaurant, but the decor was cute and interesting! We even have impressions that it was affliated to the Tomato shop at AMK that sells daily products.

It's Friday tomorrow...so looking forward to my weekend!!
