I exercise every day because I want to change my job but my image is not very good because I became fatter so I tried to fit my body so I bought watch and I bought some suits. I had thought about that and then I bought just 2 suits. About this topic, I discussed with my friend. I asked him if I got the offer, I would like to buy a watch, then next half year if I pass the probation period I would like to buy a custom suit / fitted suit. I research about custom suit which is very expensive in China so it’s a prize to me if I pass the probation period.
