Am i back?

i think so. well i am currently working at mid valley selling/ giving bags to generous cash donors for malaysian nature society. The cause is to raise as much fund as possible to enable the rehabilitation of an empty swampy land on the coastal area in kuala selangor. As you can see, this is an equivalent to an internship, just that i get paid more :).

Lifes good so far, except for the sore legs and bad food. You see, htennek cant live without good food. Fortunately this last for a month or so. Besides that, i am missing out on various summer activities such as getting myself wasted on my bed sleeping and finding myself infront of my laptop doing you know what. Finally, my results are out and i am not out... collecting it.

I am driving to mid valley everyday cept for saturdays and sundays as the parking fee is just plain ridiculous for a cheapskate like me (i am not implying directly that i am one). Concerning about my working routine, i basically ave to "attract" customers with hoo haas and some big fat lies to get them to donate. The FEW lies:

a) Customer: is the bag strong?
htennek: of course la... i am using mine to shop groceries and i can fit 6 apples and 5 pears.
(i dont even own that bag)

b) customer: what do i get?
htennek: a free bag and tax exemption.
(tax exemption is only applicable if you have a donation accumulated over rm 100)

c) customers: how much is the donation?
htennek: rm 25
customer: wah so expensive?
htennek: no la... 25 is inclusive of the sapling, fertilizer, and chemical to induce plant growth
(firstly, the 25 is not inclusive of the fertilizer and chemical, just the tree itself. sounds way cheaper right? secondly, those who study biotech knows that mangrove soil is quite fertile.. elo fertilizers???)

i lie alot.. thanks.. anything for $$$ RIGHT? no i am not that bad one la... i just do that for 2 reasons. for sales and for nature :) time to sleep... dead tired. jess if you are reading this, cheer up and dont to so by EATING my cookies TT
