JESUS.

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatu.

Before you judge the header of this entry, just hold on to your thoughts first. Hehe.

Work has been manageable, Alhamdulillah, with wonderful colleagues who are very patient and willing to guide me and correct my mistakes. Was scheduled at few other outlets as there was an issue with the official opening of the new outlet, JEM (Jurong East Mall), which is where I was supposed to be. So they put me at jCube, Wisma and CityLink. But I've gained experience and feel on how other outlets manage their sales and customers. It's really overwhelming looking at the huge difference in the crowd from one outlet to another.

So JEM finally had their delayed opening on the 15th of June 2013, Saturday. I was scheduled as 11am to 4pm, but my Store Manager (SM) wants me to come as 9am to 2pm to help out with kits. She knows I love doing kits! Hehe. So first day, Elissa was there. She's the Regional Manager for Smiggle, and I get to meet the Visual Merchandise Manager for Singapore Smiggle as well, Fadilah. Such a small and cute lady. Petite. 

Morning was with Sophie (SM) and Sufyian. After Sufyian had left the shop when he's done with his shift, an angmoh lady in her late 40s / early 50s approached me at the counter to make payment. I greeted her with a friendly hi accompanied by a smile. She just smiled back. But while I was scanning her items into the POS system, she casually asked "How are you?". I answered in the most energetic "Fine thank you!" again with a smile. After I was done with packing her items and returned her change, she leaned forward, so I did the same thing. But to my surprised, she started babbling on something that I couldn't really catch but I managed to catch her last line.......... "Jesus is still alive." And she just stated at me!

I was still trying to catch on what she was babbling on the first few words, but I gave up and just said bye to her, she just smiled and left. I don't have any clue to what her intention was, but yes. That was very awkward and weird. I jut shrugged it off and resume my work.

Hmmm. May Allah protect me from hurt and harm and ease all my affairs. Ameen!

Wallahu A'lam.

Wassalam.
