    a year i had lots of crazy fun in a new environment,
    a year i've been away from my previous "playground".
    i was then, i little ignorance kid, fooled by my little achievements
    now im back to earn more cash while learning the things i missed out previously.
    it was a random decision though.

    the same(s) as a year ago:
    - im still a promoter for Philips LCD monitors
    - have the same strict-looking boss
    - working in the same building
    - always late for work
    - the kopitiam still sells the same good food

    the difference(s) from a year ago:
    - demand change, market going for bigger widescreens
    - the prices are much more competitive
    - competitiors brands gaining popularity
    - has a new supervisor, benny
    - more $$$ rolling in!

    i guess i made a dramatic comeback!
    return to work for the Comex show then disappeared for 3 months.
    well, i was preparing for the trip to pangkor island, later the maths carnival and eventually fell ill.
    dave (one of the dealers) ask if i heard some stuff, that why i go away.
    he told me that my follow colleagues said i changed, the dealers too..
    they said i become more mature, along with the way i speak.
    at least you dont see me jumping around like a monkey.
    i guess it is a compliment.
    but i shant take his words too seriously, they aint all the time true.

    oh yar, i heard about this curse in the dealer shop where im located.
    it was impossible for them to sell more than 3 sets on a weekend or PH.
    im shocked seriously.

    i could easily sell at least 5 sets on a weekend or PH a year ago,
    something is wrong out there.
    i am then determine to break this curse..

    last weekend was bad, the curse came true.
    sold 3 sets on saturday and only 1 pathetic set on sunday, could have went bonkers for that.
    not for now, times has changed.
    on sunday, i barely spoke to 10 seems-to-be interested buyers,
    half of them told me "they will discuss it with their children at home and come back again".
    oh well, there goes another one.
    still i'm grateful that i have at least 10 person to talk to,
    that kills all kind of boreness and time flies faster that way.

    and finally, i made it on children's day!
    the crowd came later around 3-4pm.
    slowly yet steadily i close my deals.
    some were convinced by my sales speech,
    some were just too spolit for choices but gave me their support,
    my dealers helped me too.
    i broke that curse with a record of 5 sets.
    i will be back for more!

    there would be nothing to rejoice for if i am always late.
    at least i reach earlier than the previous time.
