auntie, this one how much?

i did a stint at the family provision shop today
coz mum was on duty but she had to go chauffeur fawn.
it's the first time i manned the shop all alone,
and it turned out to be rather exciting.

i had fun playing with the "gun"
that was used to stick price tags on things.
did quick calculations without mechanical-assistance,
and got the kids to call me "jie jie" instead of "auntie".
dweeb came to shop-sit with me,
and listened to me reminisce of the time when grandpa was still around
and used to encourage me to take whatever i fancied, whenever i came by the shop.
boy, that was eons ago.


if you're ever in the bedok area,
do pop into the convenience store that's round the corner,
under block 129 which is opposite the bedok stadium.
support the soon family! =D

in other news, my six months probation period is finally over
and i am no longer a p-plater.
you should have heard my shout when i checked my roster today
and saw the "p" missing from beside my name.
woohoo 867!
