Tap-pi Tap-pa Tupperware...

I was given an early Birthday present on Wednesday. It came in the form of 2 Blue colored rectangular boxes from the Tupperware brand.

Do I like it? I like it, yes I did. I could fill my whole house with containers and such from Tupperware. They are guaranteed for life and durable. They are colorful and comes in different shapes and sizes. They come in pots, pans and everything related to the kitchen. They have baby stuff such as milk bottles, milk bottle warmers. They also have cosmetics from their Beauti Control range - Cleaners, moistureizers, toners, make-up, body, hand and feet scrubs and perfume too.
As a seller of their products, you'll get free containers should you be ordering above a certain amount of products. If you orangise Tupperware parties and have datings of amounts above, say, S$300, you'll get containers free too.

One such person is selling these stuff in my office - Cheapolina.

I, of course, have bought some of these containers from her too. Most recently, I bought a rice dispenser through her. She gave me a small round container as a free gift.

Obviously, the freebies doesn't stop here. She actually got me the 2 Blue colored rectangular boxes. You see, I actually do not mind receiving such stuff as my Birthday present, though my partner has deemed it Ridiculous and Not appropriate.

But please, give me something from the heart. From sincerity. Do not give me or anything something from your own home, Used or Not Used, Freebie or Not Freebie - it could have been given to you by someone else as a present and though you didn't like it, you kept it, waited for the next most appropriate opportunity, brought it out and give it to someone else as a present!! Hey, I'm not against recycling the stuff you have no use for from home. What I'm saying is, if you do not have the use of something that someone has given you, give it to someone else you know has more use for it. Not in the form of a present, but in the form of, "Hey, I have a juice-maker at home, but I hardly use it now. If you don't mind, would you like to have it??"

She would readily search her storeroom for some Unused containers, and sell it to you at the price recommended in the lastest catalogue, should you be requesting her to order the items for you. That's not new new. That's not nice. She should have said, "Hey, I have the ones that you want to buy at home. They are new. They are extras that I have no use for. If you don't mind, I can sell it to you." Then, we would have a choice of wanting it or not.

She may be hard for $$. She has 4 kids and a maid at home and her husband is in the Police Force. But, she has ALWAYS displayed to others in the office that she's quite well-to-do. She doesn't stinge on herself and her kids - she buys clothes from Marks and Spencer and would order bras and panties from Victoria Secrets, she would buy Guess baby clothes for her kids or from somewhere like Takashimaya, she would buy her pots and pans from Robinson and she would buy cosmetics from The Body Shop. She would show off all her purchases after lunch.

I could go on and on and on about her.

I could list everything that she does and says.

I could even tell you about how lazy she is, when she is supposedly to help me at work, but didn't do so in the end, coming out with excuses and such.

I could write a book and dedicate it to her.

But, nah.... This is enough for today, for tonight.

Eh, is my Birthday present nice???
