Laughter is the best medicine

The greatest joy working in the shop is the personal relationships we've built with our customers. This same sentiment is shared among my colleagues, Eden, Adnan and Sarah, Is shopping a good form of therapy? I bet the conversation we carry in the shop is much more therapeutic. :)

We have this interesting regular customer, who never fail to pop in for 10 mins before collecting her son from classes, to have a chat . It's not about new arrivals or complaining about the bags she bought from us. It was merely a chat, like catching up the happenings of each other lives. Eden was on MC for a week and she enquired about his health. This got her started to share with us her funny encounter.
She went for her regular check up and her doctor advised against taking slimming pills as there is always some undesirable side-effects. So, she went home and instructed her maid"

" Ma-ri-a, throw away all the Avalon ( a brand of slimming pills) in the kitchen cabinet.
" Yes, madam

The maid was quick to response, took out all the Abalone and threw them away! It was fortunate that she went to the kitchen, to do some damage control and found the maid throwing away those expensive Abalone. We all burst out laughing so hard and so loud that the Poh Kim shop next door thought we were watching the comedy they were playing.....
