Evidence proves that sales on a public holiday will be a million times better than usual, because today, I hardly have time for a breather. Of course that is a good thing, at least I won't be all guilty about the poor sales report.

I'm so frustrated right now that I can't post any of my beautiful scenery pictures on because Photobucket is being such a bitch. They always say the sunset in the East is the prettiest and the sunrise in the West is the greatest, seeing is believing.

It's funny how an ERA agent looked me up today, asking if I would be interested in doing telemarketing for her. I answered no, while thinking if I'm really into telemarketing, I would have went back for Grace who is paying more than Angie the ERA agent. But still, I kept Angie's name card so if anybody is interested in getting a job in the holidays, just send me a text! It'll be a neat six bucks per hour, but the sad thing is, Angie is only open to girls because property agents seemed to think girls have an edge in this job.

I should really go to bed if I want any chance of not looking like a zombie tomorrow. The hours of standing at the roadshows are starting to wear me out a little by a little, and the good thing is, I think I might have lost a few kilogram because of this job. I never enjoyed solitary and obviously didn't enjoy eating alone either, hence I skipped dinner altogether. But then, after work, I'll always be munching on hot fudge sundae on my way home, which kind of minus out the dinner's plus.

Okay, I should kick the hot fudge habit.

-picture temporary not available-
The stupid black dot spoiled my pretty sky.

-picture temporary not available-
I realised the skyline in Tampines looks surreal.

-picture temporary not available-
Or is it just because I'm too in love with the sky?

Jiarong took his day off today and left me alone in the roadshow. But he was kind enough to visit us all the way in Tampines despite living in Bukit Merah. And the only thing he told me on his visit is: "Do you know you actually have an hour of break? You come so many days I haven't seen you go on your break you know, you don't need eat one ah? Stand nine hours legs won't tired?"

And the reply I gave was, "I only stood for eight hours!" Aww, Jiarong is just so cute.

While I tried to cover John drinking his chicken soup behind the vacuum cleaners, I was fascinated by the refraction of light before me. I learnt in Physics that white light refracted will cause the seven colours of the rainbow, and before me I saw fourteen colours.

-picture temporary not available-
Believe me or not.

Sometimes, it's these simple colours of life that make it so brilliant.

P.S hopefully I can get the pictures up tomorrow!

Knowing

Raymond made Shaojun and me rush all the way down to Philips to sign one piece of paper. Compared to a hour and a half journey, I only stopped by in Philips for around ten minutes. Shaojun and I concluded that he could have given the document to Jenny and Jiarong, asking them to pass it to the both of us respectively. Oh well.

Then the both of us continued our mayhem around Singapore and our next stop was Commonwealth. Today is our last day of service in telemarketing because we decided the Philips job was better. I feel kind of privileged because while others are trying so hard to find a holiday job, the both of us actually have a choice to make.

Surprisingly, Elyn was rather cool about both of us leaving last minute. Perhaps because she was coughing too badly to reprimand us. And I think her cough is due to her excessive amount of smoking. I just hope the salary will reach us in the shortest time possible, because after all, they still own Joanna's salary from two weeks ago.

And Shaojun made me realised something. Every new friend I made this holidays smokes! Okay, at least all the adults, or make it all the male adults. And some female one, especially those from the property agency. Well I can never understand why smokers choose to smoke, but I read in an article today, the nicotine from the cigarette takes only seven seconds to reach your lungs after a puff. I need more than that to drink a sip of water.

Of course, the highlight of the day! I finally finished packing my wardrobe after dragging this chore for so many weeks! Strictly speaking, Hati was the one packing everything, while I just sat by and gave her instructions. This time, I'm quite confident my wardrobe won't go messy in a week because Hati is more familiar with my wardrobe than me now! So there shouldn't be any chances of her misplacing anything.

But the bad thing is, I threw away at least ten shorts/jeans, leaving a pathetic collection of bottoms in my wardrobe right now. And that means, an alarm asking me to go shopping. Even my grandma is urging me to go for a shopping trip to replenish my limited amount of bottoms.

So right now, top of my holiday's to-do-list, shopping trip!

Monday, November 23, 2009

While I rejoiced yesterday that I'm free from Megastore, the phone call from Raymond today told me to go back there once again. At least for the whole of this week, you will see me at atrium of Megastore again. On the bright side, at least it's not the warehouse anymore, and I would possibly see more customers around. On the brighter side, I'll be working with Jiarong, Sean and John again.

I realised every time I know a Sean, I'll know a John(or Jon). Weird.

And yesterday, I could have finished Bloody Monday but in the middle of the last episode, I suddenly decided I should stop watching. And Joanna, it's not because my heart can't take it. Just that I don't want to finish watching such a nice drama, therefore I only finished it this morning. And the only thing I can say is, it's so totally unexpected.

Sometimes the most innocent person will deal the most damage to you.

Right now, I've nothing to watch! All the shows I want to watch right now, Funsion doesn't support it being watched online.

Well anyway, let me introduce two of my new eye-candies!

Photobucket
Sato Takeru from Bloody Monday!

Photobucket
Koide Keisuke from My Girlfriend is a Cyborg!

haruma
This one is old, but I like him more now! Miura Haruma from Koizora and Bloody Monday!

wangzi
And of course, I still love Wangzi the most!

I predict, tomorrow is going to be a hectic day because I'm going to pack my wardrobe! Yes, the only thing I can't stand being messy is my wardrobe, but no matter how I pack it, it just somehow seemed messed up. Sometimes, even right after I packed it, I would feel like taking everything out and repack them again because something is just not right. But till now, I can't point out what is not right. I considered switching all the hangers to uniform ones to make the wardrobe look tidier, but it didn't work out.

Therefore, I'm going to enlist Hati's aid tomorrow! She said she's an expert in packing stuff, and perhaps, I'll be able to transform my wardrobe to the way I want it tomorrow. At the very least, let me be able to find my clothes!

the other end of the rainbow

Photobucket
Dearest customers, I'm waiting!

Photobucket
And here I present, the prettiest thing in Tampines Courts Megastore!

Well, my term of service in Megastore has finally ended, and boy, am I glad. I'm finally free from the more than boring warehouse, and all the pathetic sales results. I'm going to miss the nice seniors though! Dear Jiarong, do you see this?!

Photobucket
I want to buy an epilator because it sounds great but it costs a bomb too.

Photobucket
My ultra big present from Jiarong!(:

And if you don't believe that sales in a Megastore can be poor, here is my proof.

Photobucket
The near-empty warehouse.

Actually, the sales in Megastore is not that bad, just that, none of the customers bothered coming up to the warehouse. Therefore, strictly speaking, my sales is the one that is bad.

Here is a classic conversation between one of my customer and me: -
Him: Okay, so I'll take one of this vacuum cleaner.
Me: Sure! Erm, would you like me to get a trolley for you?
Him: -shows horrified look- You mean the vacuum cleaner doesn't come in a box?!
Me: Oh no, it does. But I mean do you need a trolley to transport it around?
Him: I don't need a trolley, I want to put the vacuum cleaner in a box.
Me: I mean, the vacuum cleaner is in a box -points to stock- but do you want to put the box with the vacuum cleaner on the trolley so it's easier for you to take around?
Him: Oh! -embarassed look- No no, I'll take it by hand.
Moments later...
Him: Can I try this out because I don't want to bring it home and it doesn't work! -points to the vacuum cleaner in a box on a trolley his daughter is pushing-

Right now, I'm more engrossed in finishing Bloody Monday than this blogpost. I've to say, Joanna, this is a brilliant recommendation! I haven't found a show that I couldn't guess the plot, and this, it's so full of suspense that I'd to pause every now and then to take a deep breath. Not to mention, I keep on forgetting to sound my horn.

Strongly recommended, if you've the spare time, do watch this! Apart from the fact that the casts are all to-die-for, their acting skills are splendid as well. Although I'm quite sad that some of the casts died from Bloody-X, but their death is those if-they-don't-die-the-show-can't-continue kind of thing, so I guess for the whole storyline, they had to die.

Raymond is going to call me up tomorrow morning, and I wonder where will I be going next week.

Photobucket
My uniform for the rest of the holidays. P.S that is K.O 3 An Guo's watch on my left wrist!

say yes to mega sale!
Friday, November 20, 2009

For these few days, I've been going out in the morning and coming back twelve hours later. To work.

At Lot One, Raymond got me to report there at eleven in the morning, and since I don't exactly live next to Choa Chu Kang, I'd to wake up as early as nine. If you think that doesn't sound early, let me add this in, it's the holidays now! Then my work there will end near ten at night because of all the packing up, stock-counting, revenue tallying and stuffs like that, and by the time I reach home, it'll be near eleven.

The day before, I was alone in Lot One because Ray had his day off, and boy, am I glad that he's back the next day. Although I made it a point to not befriend anyone who smokes, but this group of Philips people seemed to somehow transform my view on smokers. Not that I'll smoke in the future, or agree that smoking is great, I just realised that smokers are not necessarily bad guys. Well, at least with Ray back, I'd someone to talk to, and didn't have to run around the whole roadshow serving customers.

Except, his breath sometimes stinks after the routine cigarette puff.

But Ray is still great because he's a fan of Taiwan idol dramas as well! And he recommended a great movie to me, if you've the time, do watch it!

My Girlfriend Is A Cyborg

I wanted to update my blog everyday, but that proved to be kind of difficult since my eyelids will be threatening to shut down any second after one whole day of work, and three hours of Funsion.

Right now, I'm posted to a brand new place after yesterday's RV day in Lot One. Seriously, why did so many Year Fours appear in Lot One yesterday? Well, I'm quite sure in my new working location, I won't run into people I know. Welcome to Courts Megastore in Tampines!

Unexpectedly, there wasn't that many people there at all, I stoned the whole way through today, and had to kill my boredom by texting people! For those who don't know, I haven't texted in a decade because all my faulty buttons are killing my thumb. And the most ridiculous thing, my sales tally in Megastore is way worse than that in Lot One or Ang Mo Kio.

At least John and Jiarong said tomorrow will be a thousand times better.

tumbling down from the skies
Tuesday, November 17, 2009

I'm currently posted to Choa Chu Kang Lot One till the end of the week, so don't be surprised to see me there in Courts uniform, selling a rice cooker to an auntie.

Why are Christmas decorations in pink?! And after I took this picture, one of the ornaments tumbled down.

Thankfully, no one was hit.

Anyhow, Lot One was a thousand more times slacker than Ang Mo Kio. An example is all I need to prove that point. When there wasn't many customers at the afternoon time, Ray asked me if I would like to go shopping. He said I could go window shopping if I wanted to. At first I thought he was joking, then he looked at me and said, or would you like to go to the arcade instead?

Chee Seng, the manager there is a super nice guy too. Raymond said if you ever get sacked by Chee Seng, you should just resign from the sales industry, and I couldn't agree more. For starters, he allowed us to drink bubble tea and eat fish crackers at the roadshow. And he even let one of the staff go for a nap instead of firing him for sleeping straight in his face.

And am I glad that I did quite a number of sales for my new and ultra duper nice boss. But don't worry, Auntie Jenny, you're still as brilliant as before. But as I gained something, I'm bound to lose something as well.

And that is reflected on my subject combination. Lo and behold people, the subject combination I got for the two years ahead is, Mathematics, Economics, Geography and China Studies in Chinese. Bingo! I got a combination that had never crossed my mind ever before, I know I choose three odd combinations in a row, but this wasn't even one of my choice. Seriously.

When Jingzhan called me, I thought he might have seen wrongly. Then when he confirmed it with me again, I started recalling the time I handed in the odd combination appeal form, could I've written wrongly? Then I realised how ridiculous that thought would be, no matter how wrong I'm, I couldn't have possibly missed out choosing Physics. That was the only subject leading to my pilot dream. And I could have swore I choose Chinese Literature instead of China Studies in Chinese.

So now what? Appeal for the third time. And for god's sake, please tell me there's some mistake when the teachers keyed in the subject combinations because they had a thousand and six hundred to key in and they made some foolish mistake. Or tell me they mixed up my combination with someone else with a similiar name as mine. Tell me anything, other than telling me I didn't get into the subject combination I want, because I can just die in front of you if I couldn't get Physics.

I told Shaojun before, I can give up every H2s except for Physics.

Bloody Monday.

Photobucket
Hi My Sweetheart.

Haruma Miura is to-die-for in Bloody Monday, and if not for Funsion loading so slowly today, I might have finished the whole series already.

I can never understand why anyone would choose to smoke. A person asked me the day before, does any of your friends smoke? I shook my head. Then he asked, does your boyfriend smoke? I shook my head again. And he asked again, do you smoke. I shook my head and gave him a glare.

I knew from young that smoking is a addiction I would never want to pick up, I knew from everywhere that smoking kills, I knew smoking is bad whether you look at it from left, right, top or bottom. But, everyone knew that just like me, so why did they smoke? For the first time ever, I talked to a guy who smoke(with the exception of my uncles). I asked him, why did you smoke?

He shrugged and said, smoking is good. There was apparently a research that shows, smokers don't get SARS infection easily. Therefore, smoking is good. Obviously, that was an excuse. I rebutted, saying that's because you don't need SARS to infect your respiratory system, smoking already did that.

So is that the only excuse smokers could summon up? When their smoke puffs are doing nothing beneficial to the people around them, or the surroundings? I'm sorry for being so agitated, but I really hate smoking so much that if I were the government, the first thing I'll do is to ban it.

Okay, I've no mood to continue this post already, because Yeejia and Yeehueh is on webcam!

It seems like Raymond decided I'm going to be a permanent weekend worker in one of the Courts. So don't be surprised the next time you go to Courts with your friends/family and see me talking away about a rice cooker.

Photobucket
The after state of our roadshow.

Photobucket
By the time I left work, this was how Courts looked like. That's eleven at night.

Photobucket
My attendance slip for the rest of the holidays.

Photobucket
Hello, I'm a Courts promoter! This is my uniform by the way.

The sales for today was so great that I didn't have extra time to sit down, much less finish my lunch. Xiaoqiang, who is supposed to be one of the weird guy, but I realised he was actually quite normal, took three hours to finish a packet of rice because customers just kept on streaming in after they heard today will be the last day of the promotion. Typical Singaporean. Well, I should be glad since I did help Auntie Jenny boost her sales results significantly.

After work, I could have just sat around and wait for Auntie Jenny to tally everything before going off for supper. But because Xiaoqiang was so god damn slow at moving his fans, I had to help. Luckily, they ain't too heavy but moving them in and out for umpteen times is still tiring. Having worked for Philips till now, I haven't moved a single stock during stock check because all the guys won't let us near it. All I had to do it count the stock. But today, I truly experienced how tiring it is, I actually work out a sweat under Courts' strong air-conditioning.

Supper was on Xiaoqiang and Auntie Jenny(: Nice people, I hope Raymond will post me back to Ang Mo Kio now, and that's an irony, because if you'd asked me on the first day, I'll never want to go back to Ang Mo Kio's Courts to work.

Currently, I've a full schedule for work, and I think I'm working too much. I've been putting outings off to complete my work, and it's starting to feel like June when I was working for Hilton.

My job for this weekend. I wonder what will Raymond arrange next week.

Photobucket
My workplace and my Auntie Annie who makes yummy deserts!

Photobucket
By the time I knock off, this is how Courts looks like.

My wish came true and today was indeed alot better than yesterday. There was a new promoter for the LCD televisions and somehow, he managed to shoo the irritating seventeen year old away for me. Well, I think the seventeen guy is pissed off by Auntie Jenny and me badmouthing him away, and he's jealous that I didn't make carrot juice for him, but made it for the new promoter. Whatever, I'll be over and done with them after tomorrow.

Anyway, the new promoter was so much more normal than the other two.

I cabbed to Ang Mo Kio today because Auntie Jenny called me and asked if I could reach there at eleven plus. By the time I got her message, it was seven minutes to eleven. I wanted to take the MRT there and hope to reach as soon as possible, buy Auntie Jenny told me to cab instead because the company would pay for the cab fare. Well no harm, and the taxi fare was a neat twelve bucks.

And the best thing about today, I sold two vacuum cleaners! And that created a little more sales for today although I know that we are still very far away from our target. I'm going to try even harder tomorrow because Auntie Jenny is just so nice, and I like all the kueh Auntie Annie made for me to eat.

Oh, and I pissed the security guard off today. Well I was trying to promote the juice extractor to a couple when she suddenly butt in and started dismantling the juice extractor for me. In a rather sarcastic tone, the lady asked her why is she doing a promoter job and she actually went into her job history, saying that she had been a sales promoter before but her boss was mean and therefore she quit. Before she finished, the couple walked off without purchasing a single thing.

She made me lose a potential customer, so could I possibly in a good mood? Or smile to her and start bitching about "the rude customer who walked off when people are talking half-way"?! And because I ignored her, she decided to ignore me for the rest of the day and all her unhappiness were displayed on her black face. Whatever.

Right now, I'm seriously considering how I could ninja and go out with the table tennis people and report to work at the same time.
