first day work!

I was very excited, no doubt.

And because it was so exciting, so new, so cool, it turns out that I was very tired too.

8 hours working was not a big deal, but kept learning something new non-stop for 8 hours was really something!

It was like forcing a sprinter to join marathon, he is still good at exercise, but not the type of muscle which marathoner needs, at least, not yet.

But, luckily, I have many personal trainers...gay trainers...and they are super nice to be honest.



Also the department store is in a massively, crazily huge size. half of it is a dazzling shopping mall, and another half of it just like the tunnel for mine field, bad air circulation, plain interior design and almost too sad to be presented to the public.

when you face the sun, the shadow is behind you. Indeed, the other side of smiling face to the customers is a tired spirit. So the glorious window displays are actually built up by dirty, gloomy working pathways behind it. Well, lesson learned.

Also, how to keep yourself being elegant and graceful in front of customers when you have to find one specific wallet out of 100 the same covers in the small and narrow stockroom as soon as possible is another course I have to learn.

Not like the fast working pace in the restaurant where drink has to be cold and food has to be hot when serving, showing the luxurious brand is not in a hurry thing, therefore, it takes time.

Anyway, working for the big brand let me feel like a servant, not a servant of customers, but the servant of the brand--even they don't speak and complain, I have to make sure that they are presented beautifully and as new as a virgin when ever the customer wants to touch them.

Let's see how I feel after 2 weeks.

關於流行

關於流行是什麼我想每個人都有自己的一套邏輯, 從黑白灰的極簡搭配法則到穿甚麼都行但鞋子一定要很高級的特別品味者, 都是他們自己認同的流行。 當然也有自己走不出的迷思, 有愛買夾克,卻常常抱怨衣櫃裡的褲子太少, 但一出門逛街所倒之處卻還是常常停留在夾克上的偏執狂, 也有打折品才入手不管正價商品有多好的的撿便宜消費者 至於流行單品本身的呈現也幾乎是無法一概而論的, 同樣一件單品可以在兩個完全不同品味的人身上找到,而兩樣看似毫不相干的單品卻也常常可以完美的融入一個人的風格中。流行單品本身幾乎是沒有界線的,是我們自己給航行在流行這片汪洋茫茫然不知所措的現代人們一艘艘不同風格的船來搭乘。 對我而言,自然我是站在某一艘所謂的風格的船上,使用著自己的邏輯,重蹈著自己的迷思來看待流行,其用意不在挑戰任何其他不同品味的消費者,反而是希望再將來的某一天我可以發現自己所搭乘的這艘"風格船"倒底是個什麼樣子。

LONDON STREET

the end of the second year

(Roundhay park, Leeds) it is the end of my second year in the UK, and it is time to leave Leeds, a city where I stayed for more than 700 days. so I am moving down to London, and aim to be a Londoner for which I don't even know what's that suppose to mean. it is not very pleasant being jobless and still move to the one of the most expensive city in the world, to be honest. However, there is something can't be valued by the money. No pain no gain, from my own interpretation is that I have to suffer from the pain of being short of money to gain the happiness of life, sometimes, life can be more when the budget is less. Well, it is still important for me to get a job to pay the rent, food, and all the bloody bills...
