Always remember life is without a problem, never without difficulty, never without hurtful moments, but never without God to lean on.

Why is it so?
Last week, had zero for the week. Damn pissed... Was able to send up one, but ended up as an NQ. Some nice yet idiotic couple who wanted to help me, but stayed at the centre for not even 10mins. What a bitch and bastard they were. Then came Saturday, which was suppose to be a good day. But then again, i had nothing. How pathetic can it get? Just do not understand why i'm meeting "bad" people nowadays.
Beginning of this week, on a Monday, actually had the chance to send this Indonesian chinese uncle and auntie up. BUT, the mandarin and malay speaking line was not open on Monday. So, Naresh wrote them and invite, asking them to return back on tuesday to help me. Guess what?! They didn't come back! Such a disappointment it was for me. They were really nice Indo uncle and auntie. But why didn't they return for this little girl? Sheesh.... Let's move on to Tuesday then. Had the urge to try for a 1x6 consistency, so i'll have $100 extra. It didn't work out too. Approached this malaysian couple, but was super irritating, because the lady kept hurrying me to tell her where to go claim the gifts and so on. Since she was in singapore doing shopping and meeting her friend, i wrote her the invite, and asked her to call me if she wants to collect the gifts. Anyhow, i couldn't be bothered with that couple too, they irritated me enough. They didn't come back too. Ah, whatever lah... Late evening, went down to MRT to try me luck. But was feeling kinda lethargic and mood-less to work anymore. However, happened to see this couple walked pass, and thus approached them. Perfect couple, and i gave the gifts and then explained the things to them. They said they weren't interested and so, being the "smart aleck", i went to tell them honestly that the exhibition takes only an hour of their time. "No thanks." , they said. I let them off.
Same thing happened today, again. Yes, again.. Since i lost my 1x6 consistency, why not try for 2x5=$200 extra then? Ok, i admit that i'm too ambitious, because i'm not sure if i'm able to get 5 by end of the week, and i want to run for 10. Coz, was thinking that, if i can get 1 up, try for another one. Then there might be a possibility for 2x5 consistency. And yes, i've lost it, again. Dammit! Wasn't in the mood earlier in the day to work, but i just take it as it go. I approach when i feel i like it. The problem was that, whenever i'm in the mood to stop people, the people just won't stop for me. I acted a "smart aleck" once again. At 7+, i went up to this couple with a not-interested-to-approach feeling. Persisted them for a while, and i did the survey while walking with them. Same thing happened as tuesday. Told them what they've got, but without excitement. And that lady kept pushing me to say how to get the gifts and blah blah, just because she has not much time on hand. So, i became honest with her, telling her that the exhibition takes only and hour of their time. Immediately they said they don't have time for it. Thank you and bye bye, i let them go.
What's happening to me?! Boss asked if i like the job, and i said yes. He asked why is it that i'm unable to send? I told him that i want to send, and whenever i try to stop people, they do not stop. But when i'm not in the mood, they'll stop for me. And i told him about the couple i stopped, and admitted to him that it was my fault for not showing excitement and all. And today, he gave me lots of encouragement, telling me not to pressure myself too much for that one, but just to enjoy whatever i do. On the other hand, "daddy" Naresh told me to hit 5 by Saturday. Wednesday to Friday get one each day, and Saturday get 2 then i'll be on 5. But still i didn't hit that one today. After letting that couple walk off, i was on the verge of crying. Talked to Aishah darling about it and she told me that it's not totally my fault, as the couple looked quite stucked up too. Then came Boss, he patted my shoulder and said that he knows how frustrated it can be when people reject you. He also said that, it may one thing i need to change about myself, so that i'll get people to stop for me. The next thing i know, he took my survey pad and walked up to this lady. He was helping me pitch! When he was done with the survey, he asked me to pass him the scratch cards. The lady scratched, and obviously she won something. Boss told her every single detail and he would give me the "bonus", but she had to rush to pick her daughter. Yes, the lady's married, but boss tried to TCS her as a single. Boss gave her his contact number, and he's hoping that she'll come back, either alone or with her husband.
The time is near for me to leave the job and i really want to earn as much as i can before i leave. Why is it that i can't do it? I've sent people before. They are all nice, perfect couples. To be honest, i never TCS a married lady or man to be single. Because i feel that, if there's a chance to send a nice married couple, why not? For what send a single and earn $25?? Singles are still money, yes. But i've the fear of TCSing, because you never know the married single might blurt out that he/she's married and we'll be in deep shit if ever found out. From what i remember, never ever did i send a single up after Disney on Ice promotion. All my ups were all couples
Just 3 more days for me to get 5. I know it's possible but are there people out there who are willing to help me? I don't want to disappoint "daddy". He's been helping me alot. Sometimes he tells me that i looked kinda "off" but i always deny it. He says that i looked trouble last week and wants to know what happened. But i do not tell him about anything.
Just 3 more days before my two-week long break. I need the 5....
