meet wendy, the mood lifter
in the reception. with a client. let's call her wendy.
"eh where's the previous lady who was here?"
"oh, she's on maternity leave."
"ohh... eh what happened to your face ah? why got so many small spots?"
(amboi auntie... subtlety not your strongest suit eh? topic transition pon tak pass.)
"i don't know what happened. they just started appearing when i turned 21."
"haiyohh.. so sayang. face so nice."
(fake grins. i don't know whether to feel flattered or still feel insulted. i'll choose insulted la eh.)
"anyway this saturday i'm offering a facial for 10 dollars only. maybe you can go for the trial first. this saturday only 10 dollars. you call me first la ok. at katong there."
(katong? all the way? takpe trima kasih aje.}
"oh is it? ok la i'll call you first. thanks ah."
