Thank God It's Friday

TGIF. Beautiful morning, won't you agree? The sun isn't to glaring, the weather just perfect to spend the day at home typing this. You know, I have to say, when you're happy, everything seems good. To wake up to such a beauty really further brightens up my smile.

So, why have I been so happy? The recent spate of compliments has really got me thinking about what I really love to do, and what I really want to achieve. For one, I have got a lot of compliments from customers saying I give excellent service, to a point someone asked me, "Peter, are you a captain here? You give excellent service!"

And I've developed a pool of customers that come to the outlet and upon seeing me, they go, "Hey Peter!" And mind you they are of the middle-aged group, so nowhere near the supposed teens that I'm supposedly to be on friendlier terms. So, to date, 2 ladies have asked for my number, a really interesting thing I have to say. But mind you, not anything you think, but because they would like to ask me more advice on how to cook. Ah, having this skill really makes people appreciate you more aye? Lolx.

Oh yes. And course with gals telling you that you have a deep voice will really make you smile. All along, I never thought I broke my voice in a sudden time span, so when my colleagues told me my voice is very deep when I talk to customers, it made me so happy. And it got me thinking quite a bit. You see, all along I've been working on my service professionalism. That would mean being articulated and friendly, and at the same time, without crossing the border of a 'staff-customer' relationship. And it's kind of true when people say 'you are what you want to be'. It really applied to me these few weeks. Cool stuff man.

Other than that, I had a great time chatting with my mom till 2am last night. We talked about food and restaurants, my work and her work. I really love these times when I sit down over dinner (yes 2am) and have a great conversation. I'll never give up anything for such moments man.

And of course there's friends who always keep you in check. Met up with Isaac last night after work, and talked on the way home. It was good to catch up, and the one thing he said that made me so surprised was this.

Isaac: Peter, you cut your hair ah?
Me: Ya, like 2 weeks ago.
Isaac: Whoa, getting cuter everytime I see you ah.

Lolx.

And after that as we were walking to the bus stop, he said something that made me smile so wide I thought I was going to get face cramps.

Isaac: You've been happy aye?
Me: Why?
Isaac: There's a radiance on your face.
Me: Waa...

So he explained that when people are happy, there's a certain aura around them. And how true he was. I've been the happiest in a long long time, and it was about time. Getting caught up with worrying and thinking too much has got me down so much. And Isaac said I look the best in many months. Ah, the wonders happiness brings.

That sums up what's been going on in the very happy Peter the last few weeks. I hope it stays that way, because people actually can see me looking better. Yay! I must live on the motto I have for life right now.

Think of the good stuff and not the bad. Make those around you smile. There's too much to worry about, so why bother that much. You being happy makes people happy too.
