Am flying tomorrow night to Japan - Tokyo at 2340hr. My feelings right now? Excited, lazy, nervous and tired.. hahah. Tired from work, excited as I'll be going to TGS!!, that i'll be dropping by Square Enix shop which I founded by chance, lazy due to packing (wonder if i brought enough clothes and such), nervous since i'll be travelling alone to Japan, taking whatever transport is available to my hotel @ Shinjuku. Clifton wouldn't be free to entertain me since he'll be busy with all his meetings, me having to shop and walk and to explore a totally foreign land by myself. And may meet up with Gaku and John.

my lugguage is more or less packed, some last few items to pack in and tomorrow shall be my final errands to run since the shop was closed when i rushed over. Came online to do some blogging as i'm planning to upload all my pics from camera to pc to clear some space.

my superly bad experience at MANGO and ZARA.

Went to MANGO @ Shaw Centre first, with the intention of spending some money there if it's worth it. Tried on some clothes with my sisters for opinion (of course right?). 3 of us in the changing room and suddenly, one of the MANGO staff came over and said "No 3 people in the changing room". Ok, no means no, with their policy right? Why i be pissed about it? In fact, i'm quite turn off by HER TONE. Can't she ever rephrase what she want to tell in a nicer way? Must she make it sound like "duh! isn't it obvious that there cant be more than 2 people in the fitting room?". And not like i saw ANY signs stating NO MORE THAN 3 PEOPLE IN THE FITTING ROOM! I only saw the sign saying "Max 5 tops". When Veron went out of the room, the lady continued again, "And max 5 clothes only". There, that was the final part that i can take it. Isn't it HER duty to check how many pieces of clothing i'm taking before showing me the changing room? all in all, i just dislike the way she put her words. So pissed i am, i just took off all the clothes and left the store.

Next stop, Zara. Overall was not too bad, tried on different outfits and the salesperson at the fitting room was pleasant and friendly enough. Having enough of the earlier "NO 3 PEOPLE IN FITTING ROOM", car decided to stay outside while ver went in with me. ISN'T IT GOING TO BE SO TROUBLESOME TO KEEP ASKING THEM OVER TO TAKE A LOOK AND STAY OUTSIDE WHILE I CHANGE WHEN I CAN ACTUALLY DO ALL AT THE SAME TIME AND DON'T HAVE TO WASTE TIME CHANGE, OPEN DOOR, SHOW, CLOSE DOOR, CHANGE, ..."? So, had decided on one really nice top and went to the cashier, where that last part spoilt EVERYTHING. Lady at the cashier returned my card and receipts to me WITHOUT GIVING ME ANY EYE CONTACT, NO SMILES AND SAID THANK YOU WHILE LOOKING AWAY. so who the hell is she thanking?

My almost whole shopping expedite was nearly spoilt until car wanted to go to Star Bucks. The lady over the counter taking our orders was the exact opposite of those salespersons i have had experienced. She was cheerful, friendly and was all smiles eventhough it was quite late then and Star Bucks was still packed. SHE totally made my day. Star Bucks has never fails me with their superb experience. Always.
