Slice of My Life - Year 3 Santa Clause

Ok, Well as the title speaked. Im working a Year 3 Santa Clause now at the same place, Raffles the Plaza. Today is just the end of my first part of job there.
Same issue, walking around the outlets at plaza and give out candies to kids and sometimes some 'Big' Kids, lol.

This year has an added stuff: Distributing Brochers for ordering of Log Cake from Cafe Noel. Its not bad, but it makes me abit more not well - liked by parents.
"Santa is now a Salesman, dun go near him kids."

Maybe thats what some parents are thinking at the time when i distro them the brochers in the outlets. But i dare say that im not that rejected by parents. Most commented: "Your a Young santa!", "Santa Junior", "Your TAll!", "Santa went throught a Diet!". Theres more, but i cant really remember. I can still remember one of the parents i greeted on the escalator, "Oh, Santa with army Boots. You kick Ass!"

Being surrounded with kids, not a fun thing but roughly enjoyable. I like it the way when they do not dare to approach me, Some got shocked when i go near or leave the booth. They never expected Santa to be so tall. Some are mischevious, playing around poking me or giving me a tap. 1 Even commented "The last time i see you you were wearing a glasses, but this time your not and your more skinny. How come you keep changing?". This shows how cute kids are, they do not hide themself from you. If they are shy they show it out, hiding behind their parents or running away. If they like you they keep calling you, playing around with you. If they are afrid they just Cry. I had caused alot of kids crying, but luckly a candy is just right to save the day. XD

I also came across afew awkard situations, like some people asked me for sweets, employees espically. The worse was trying to not giving them in public. I had experiences of manager complaining to me the public reflected that i give the employees sweets when their kids only get 1. I feel bad unable to give those who asked me for it. But ill try to give them when i had the chance. But chances weren't high when you are stucked there in the public area with an attractive suit spelling "Come get Your Sweets" on it.

Plus i was given the order of not giving sweets when petrolling, only when im at the booth and at the Outlets i can give sweets. I feel bad for not giving those kids who spotted me on the way, but an order is an order i have to follow. So i always try to get kids to follow me to the booth, but i had heard of complains like "This santa how come dun give sweets one?" or "Wah, how come no present?". I cant do much to change it. But to hope they dont keep hugging on to the problem and make a fuss out of it.

Speaking of a fuss, when i finished the duty today, i was thrown into a big problem. Theres this 2 guys arguing at the fountain, i do not know what they were arguing but it defitnitely remembered me of that stupid incident back then. I actually thoughted about going to mediate, but all of a sudden i reliased that if i were to go there in my costume, what might happen? I only know im now lefted with the bitter after - taste of not attempting to help.

Man regreats when he fails to do something right, but they will be thrown into remorse for not attempting.

Im going to give those who want to stalk me a chance. Dec 24th and 25th, Raffles Shopping center. If you guys want to stalk me heres my routine. But my timing is not out yet so if i do release the timing of it. Good luck

My Route always start from PMC, following to Thos SB, Sze Chuan Court, Inigiku, Out Of The Pan, Prego and Finally Back to PMC. But be warned. I will kick anyone's ass for trying to do funny things...
