Personal Journal

I have been chased one of my customer his new order and payment for over one month.  He often promise he could arrange his payment within two days, but I still got nothing from him. A little bird told me he was obsessed with gambling and womanizing.  Those two thing waste most of his earning. In contrast with his previous rich life, he hid a lot and he does not have many friends want to help him. He is an nice and generous elder,  I hope him can get rid of the financial difficult as soon as possible.
