Business.... And why I suck at it!

During the week I have a course lesson at mandai, 1st thing in the morning. I always make a point of being early, so no matter the occasion my student is never waiting for me.

Well student did not show up! I message x many....

Leaving I get a call... So sorry this and that....

Ok I say no problem, I know in life s**t happens....

Today I am in Hawker Centre.... Aunty comes over she must be 900 years old..

She is selling packets of tissue, I feel sorry for her so order 2.... Give her $1... She tell me is $1.20

I say no way and give one packet back expecting 40c change, the Aunty keep my $1 and walk to next table...

Aunty, I need you to be my business manager...

Shorthitter, you are buidling up your Karma by giving donanting small amount to the needy. Your return will be plentiful...hehehehe

i dun think u need this 900 year old aunt....

i can recommend u one..... younger n better

"OMG" MLOY

i second mloy. she won't take money. she just takes more strokes.

Dun feel bad... at least you are in control of situation. You were early and that shows u are responsible. U know the auntie was asking too much... you have awareness. So you have control. It has nothing to do with being suck at business.

But... next time ask first lah "how much"! Haha...

So one day I will get "many many tissues" ?

The young boys at the tables next to me scold her for charging so much... I had to laugh...

Win some, lose some. Life's like that.
