My most expensive hamper

This customer came to my shop and asked if I could wrap a hamper for him with his own selected items. Of course, I replied, "Sure!" I never reject a request..

He asked me to recommend him some quality items. I asked him about his budget and he replied, "Don't worry! I have lots of money!"

With that reply, I promptly recommended expensive quality items:
- mushrooms
- yomeishu
- brands chicken essence
- bird's nest
- scallops
- pistachios

I asked him, "How would you like me to pack?"

He answered, "You are the boss!"

Haha..I like the answer..

Immediately, I started to wrap for him. He waited patiently for me while observing me..But I just pretended that no one was looking at what I was doing.

Finally it was done. He mentioned, "Wow, you really did it with all your heart!"


Thank you, dear customer.
Your hamper was the most expensive one that I have ever wrapped!

I only charged you RM10 for those wrapping as
I was too happy to get such big business in a short while!

    He must be very pleased with the hamper you wrapped for him. Look at how he smiled for your photo. You are so cool - to wrap it so nicely under his watching eyes. Some people would have been very stressed to be under such a situation. Good for you! :)

    Hmmm...maybe your shop should also consider printing Season/multipurposes greeting cards to attached to hamper.

    sort of additional advertisment for the shop so that the receiver know the beautiful hamper is bought from where.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
