I never believed that he would do such a thing. I really cannot believe it. My colleague, Joseph, was caught for stealing. On that day of incident, both of us were on duty, and we were still wiping the counter happily, taking every stocks from the counter and cleaning with joy. I never noticed any difference in him. He seemed like normal.We chatted like normal. I usually knock off at 6pm, but on that day I knocked off late coz I was trying mi best to hit my sales target. Until around 7, I was tired, and decided to go home. When I left, he was still laughing cheekily with our colleagues, peeping at girls.It was juz one split second, on seeing that I left, he went to steal.When he pass by the security counter, when the security stopped him, as he was guilt stricken, he quickly ran. Naturally, the security gave chase. But, in the end, he got away.

On the next day, I got this news from mi supervisor, tracy. I was so shocked when I heard it. In our eyes, he is such a good promoter that is enthu abt promoting.In front of us, he always appear to be responsible. His performance at work is also good. At first, we thought he juz stole the things out of greed. We wanted to help him. We kept trying to locate him. We even msg him telling him that we want to help him, and that as long he returns wad he stole, we will not pursue the matter. We wanted to let it drop coz we knew that he will be going into army soon. Out of kindness and sympathy, we wanted to drop the matter.

It was to no avail. We couldn't contact him. He didnt pick up his phone. He also didnt return the things that he stole. We msged him to say that if he does not return the things, we will call the police. Finally, he told his friend to return. When my supervisor saw what he returned, she got realli mad. That's because those things are definitely not the only ones he stole. It coz among the three things that he stole, one of which was out of stocks for a very long period of time. The last stock we had also went missing, in which was the time mi supervisor assured that joseph is the culprit. When the security saw it, he was angry too. When he caught him that day, he held a big bag full of things..hw can it be juz three?Its impossible! We told him once again, if he still does not return, we will report to the HR, and juz report to the police. No news came back.

I had a talk with my supervisor, tracy. She said that she already expected such a day would come. Its becoz she had long suspected him..but juz didnt had any evidences against him. She said that once, the other colleagues saw him rushing up and down, taking a big plastic bag to take alot of free gifts up to the counter and used a cardboard to cover it. When his frens came, he passed it to them. During that time, they asked him y he was so rush. But he said nothing. At another time, they held a promotion at the heeren, there were two selling stocks missing, and they suspected him. But Tracy told the manager that it cannot be him..and tried to protect him in front of others. Tracy treated him to the cafe to eat, and wanted him to be frank with her. But he said that others malign him. There were too many stocks missing ever since he came to work. He always requested the afternoon shift for him, especially with less full-timers around, so that he will be easier to commit the crime.

I really haf no idea why he wans to steal. Its not as if the company didnt gif him any fragrances. The company did. When he hit the sales target, or when he helped out in promotion, the manager will gif him. My supervisor told him and reminded many times that if he wanted anithing, she can get it for him, hinting him that he does not have to resort to stealing. Since then, i'm realli puzzled why he still did so. Did he bring it to sell?He lacks money?I'm reealli not sure. From my understanding, he went to bed with all the gals that he went out wif. He said that if he does not go to bed with them, he will find that its wasting his efforts. He had probably taken the fragrances to gif the gals hu went to bed wif him. He goes to disco every nite..drank loads of beer..returns home at 5 to 6am in the morning. He's only 18.

Juz as we thot the story would end here, but it didnt. The next day, lancome reported they had things lost. 20 packets of free gift, each packet of 8 piece miniature samples. Its ridiculous. They rewind the video tape, and found joesph to be the culprit. We were realli angry. Its already ridiculous that he stole our company goods. Now he stole other company's goods. How are we going to face them in future? We will always be remembered as the staff hu's colleague stole things. Naturally, "birds of a feather flock together", will be their belief. We are realli very disappointed wif him. Now, I duno wad happen to him. Perhaps his serving his sentence. But all of us know that even if he's in army, he will suffer coz we sent his officer a letter abt his dishonest act. Although there were happy times together, but I feel cheated. He pretended to be nice, but he became a different person. It seems like he has split personality. But I suppose, even if he has, he has a realli bad one. Truth is reality, no matter hw much we dun believe in it, one day, we still haf to learn to accept it.

Away from this issue, that day I was alone at work and the general product manager came to out store. I was giving out the scented ribbons to the customers initially when he came to talk to me. He said,"Do u noe that when the principal visited the store, he was angry when he saw u all juz passing the ribbon to the customers like tt?" I replied,"huh?Y?" He then said, "You should tie the ribbon on the customers' wrist, and tell the customers that u wanted to introduce them a fragrance." I was thinking in mi mind,"dah!Dude, u think I dun noe?Still need u this 3mths old general product manager to tell mi?" But I was realli kind to him. As an ex member of the drama club, I acted like a fool, like one that is first day at work and sae, "OHHH..I see!" Haha..its so damn idiotic lar. After which he was watching mi..and realli watching mi. So i acted lor. Did wad he said to a customer..the customer wanted to pick up the ribbon and smell. But when she heard mi wanting to tie on her wrist, she ran away!!! That's so funny! There's another one..worst still..she accepted mi offer..but her wrist was kinda big(coz she's kinda fat)..I had a hard time tying it up..in the end, she told mi to tie on her watch instead!The colleague told mi that he's probably trying to bully mi since i'm a part-timer. He's such a freak! He kept telling his wife to act as customers and test the service of the staff..he even does things like purposely talking to u..holding u up..and then suddenly sae there's a customer hurrying u to go and serve. But later complains to other heads that they didnt serve the customer. Stupid idiot putting on airs. Hate him!

Hmm..aniways..after saving..scrimping on meals..surviving on overnite foods and sanwiches..I finally managed to save up! I'm finally able to fulfill mi dream tmr. It will be mi first time flying..and first time stepping out of SG. I'm so so excited! Tmr this time I will be in thailand, bangkok. I'm so happi..alrite..i will stop for now..and will keep this blog updated when I'm there. Not sure if I wld be able to slp tonite..but what i can say is..i will definitely be having a good dream...
