and yeap,i was part of it =D
this time,for the whole ten days!
hell tired man.
but,
VERY FUN =)
reason for taking up this job -- practice my Japanese and also,make some new friends.. my online fren みどりさんcame to visit me also! みどりさん、今これが読んでいますか？ （笑）
so let me introduce my new friends who have all went back to Japan.. ='(
Oku san奥健太郎 and Kuroki san's黒木裕二 shop.
One handsome,one humorous.
Perfect match! I love the both of them..
Kuroki san always give me free food (their bento and fried food is really nice!!) and Oku san always say おはようございます Ohayo Gozaimasu -good morning to me,somemore bow till like 90 degrees.. 26 yrs old,but MARRIED WITH A KID! he dun look very nice in da photo but in real person he looks like he just walked out of the tv..
life's totally unfair..
their shop in in Saitama,near Tokyo..i will visit Kuroki san one day..he is really nice to me,chat with me during breaks,we talked just about everything.. him being sexy and hot,(he will do sexy dance one!ultra funny)'shen jing bing'(crazy),tenzai(genius),or me being chibi(short),me eating baby's food(kanpyo and chocolate milk).. haha.. and many more.. he made me this super big California Handroll,unagi bento(really delicious)and gave me lots of kanpyo,plus ika(squid) with mayo. and his staff always get free lunch from him!! and u know how delicious and pretty Japanese bentos are.OISHII!!
ika ga ikagadesuka? 烏賊がいかがですか。- would u like to try some squid?
i will repeat this sentence a few times everyday to him..haha....
before he left for Singapore i called him on his cellphone..he's like a brother to me..
i miss him already!! ='(
btw he's 41 yrs old..
This is Irie san入江優,the kawaii ojiisan!! he's always smiling and laughing,no matter what..maybe he thinks i'm a joke..haha! he is really nice to me and always play Jan Ken Pon - scissors paper stone with me..and he always win! i just dun understand!! grr!
his fishcakes are really very nice.... so nice until i sample it every teabreak..haha! i'm not lying..seriously hen hao chi...
he's like a father to me,and i always say Tadaima - i'm back- when break ends..and he will reply -Okaeri!- welcome back.. feels good =)
he has got 3 sons... maybe i sld go visit him one day *wink wink*
random pic taken by camera timer. haha. i gave them friendship bands they in turn gave me rubber bands, funny people lor.
this is Tsuruda san鶴田,which is my boss!i love her! so nice to me can.. taught me Japanese tongue twisters -Sumomo mo momo mo momo no uchi- meaning,peach and another kind of peach are a family.haha. i know u are counting the no. of mo.. there are 8 of them..haha.. only have the hard copy of the photo of me and tsuruda san,so let's make do with this cute pose of her! haha.we sell tea leaves.. 知覧おりた園からの玄米茶genmai cha from Chiran Orita En is one of the best in Japan but Singaporeans just dun really seem to like it! i have some at home,come my house and i'll brew it for you..
Tea... acquired taste i guess..not everyone likes it,and not everyone drinks it.. but amazingly the expensive ones get sold out very quickly..
but still,it was hard promoting tea..
on the last day,the last customer made me so mad that i cried! somemore my mum was there to witness(pick me up ma) and of cos it became a family affair...
the story goes like this:
Customer(C): can i try your tea?
Me(M): yeah sure
C:(didn't drink) can i bring some home and try?
M:er sorry but u can't bring it home. it's for sale
C:but you guys are packing already!
M:yah, but so sorry,u can't bring it home(then turn to explain to Tsuruda san what she wants cos she dun understand english at all)
C:no no u dun understand,let me show u what i want(took a plastic bag and the tea scoop)
M:sorry mdm but u can't bring the tea leaves home!(got quite heated up already)
C:(still want to argue with me,and like want to take the tea leaves)
M: sorry mdm u can't... ...
C: i just want to smell the tea leaves! u are so stupid! are u Singaporean? ur english is so bad! u are so stupid!
wah lau,fuck la. at this point of time i really want to cry already.obviously trying to avoid embarrassment,fucking do this to me.YOU LEFT YOUR NOSE AT HOME ISIT?MUST GO HOME AND SMELL?what the hell.most importantly the Isetan manager was beside me and he didn't do anything about it!! well he could have explained to customer..just when i thot maybe he didn't see it,he told me "some customers are like that" HELL,why didn't u freaking help? dun wan trouble right..
tsuruda san and her fren(from Singapore,used to live in Japan,very nice person!)came to console me,ask me not to care about her,that i have already done my best for this fair..but it just didn't went in,tears just keep falling.then later i went to find my brother Kuroki san..haha..he comforted me..
i guess these are the sorrows of customer services..*SIGH*
Hamabata san 浜端 sells delicious honey!!his clover honey..BEST. cute guy with cute voice..maybe if i eat his honey more my deep voice can become sweet also...
i always play with him and block his way and he will complain to my boss..haha
this is Mizuno san 水野 .he owns the stall beside mine. sometimes he can be very 冷たい-cold- to people but he insists he's not.maybe he's just stressed about sales thats why he seldom talks.
got one time he very fierce to his staff because sales not very good.. i also very stressed mah,but i nv lose my temper right.. every morning Nishizono san will bring this sales report for us to see...seriously i was very stressed when my product wasn't as saleable as other people's..
but Private Sale day sales was not bad.. when there is sales people think without buying..it's true..! he sells beans and the sales is actually super good,i dunno what he is complaining about lor. this is him doing his tsumetai pose.
this is Tanabe san 田邊 and her yuzu stall. i dun really talk to her but she's really a nice person(gave everyone complimentary bottle of yuzu tea concentrate) her yuzu tea REALLY REALLY NICE. i not kidding...!!
this is,my beloved Nishizono san 西園. i wrote love letter to him..haha! second day of fair already teaching me words like Sukebe - dirtyminded man- there's just smth about him i can't really describe..maybe it's his seriousness in his work. i love guys who are serious in their work,know when to joke and play and know when to be serious. he's the big boss of his fair,he brought them here to Singapore.. and he keep asking me for Chu-kiss-to be exact..i just laughed.. but u know,he's that kind of guy girls won't mind having affair with.. really nice guy!
but yeah,just a bro to me la.. always pat my head one..
this is another Japanese guy(can't rmb his name) and Ogata san. i dun have pic of Ogata san緒方 but i think he kinda look like 佛 haha!! no kidding.. fat earlobes,big body..very 慈祥look..
also there is other stall owners like Inoue san井上,(i call him Geta san cos he wears the Japanese clogs called Geta and always walk about very noisy lor!) and also,Dozono san 堂園勝利(nice name right? victory)who is as chibi as me..haha...
i really miss the people and the food..one word:NICE!last day i keep crying lor,like little girl like that.talked to my Kuroki brother still ok one leh,then played one last Jan Ken Pon with Irie san 最後のジャンケンポン！-last 'scissors paper stone'! again i lost.then a while later i started crying..i'm so lousy.. but the word LAST just make me cry la..then i told them next yr when they come back i'll grow taller..they just laughed..then i walked back to take my bag,saw Tsuruda san and her fren,i cried again.. it is tough work,but i had a really great time.. they made me feel so family,although it has been only 10 days..Mizuno san and Hamabata san saw me cry la,so paiseh..
i'll never ever forget this bunch of people,and i promise,i'll be a better person next yr when they come back..これは私たちの約束！！
みんなさよなら！
*now waiting for Jimmy san (December i think) and Kimura san(January?)*
