Wine And Dine At My Coffeeshop

Nothing like a good moscato

Nothing like a good moscato

Not having a job has been driving me crazy. So, I applied for a job selling wine on weeknights… at the kopitiam below my block. Yes, it sounds crazy, but I just happen to know a bit about wine , and Leng’s pretty busy in the evenings fulfilling baking orders, so this is actually a good way to keep me occupied. Plus it frees me up during the day to go for interviews. Speaking of which, I stumbled upon a website with really good tips on using language effectively in interviews. It should definitely improve my chances. I never knew that verbs could make or break your career!

    Boon, it’s NOT beer. I’m happy to teach you a few things about appreciating wine. I think it will come in handy when you have to entertain your bosses or clients from overseas. Who knows, it might help you score some brownie points with them.

    Brownie points? Can eat or not?
