Kudos to WOS

Needed a breather
left flat aimlessly
ended up in the MRT
located downstairs,so conveniently
was transported to Plaza Sing
within 15mins

wandered about, again aimless
and
ended up in WOS

might as well
take a look at the long coveted Saloman
'try the size out and check the model'- was my sole intention (pun intended)
'then order thru the internet, which surely would be cheaper'

it's half an hour to closing
didn't expect to be served
to my pleasant surprise came a young, 'kawai-i' girl
who's not only cheerful, enthusiastic and attentive
but patient and very informative

took out at least 5 new pairs for me to try
so i casually took my time, not the least bit shy
'kawaii' enthusiastically explained the diff between each model,
the types of material and purpose
even suggested i take the cheaper Columbia
which indeed fitted better

shamelessly after trying out each pair
i said
"i'll come back again should i decide on the model and brand"
Not a sign of annoyance on her smiley and attentive face
but rather a satisfied expression
as if having just shared her joy about the shoes with a friend

this day was worthwhile
just for the sunshine
she beamed unto me
dispersing my mood
initially stormy and vile

once home, i've checked out the shoes on the web
She may not be all accurate abt the specs
but
she's certainly far from the 'i dunno leh' salegirls
ubiquitous here

The shoes are indeed cheaper
if ordered thru the web
but
i may just return
to buy the pair from her

After all,
good service providers are almost extinct here
and
she's about only the 2nd person i've encountered this year
that i would rate 'Good'

Check out the store, look out for Joanne....'kawaii ne!'
