My First Job

Hmm,actually I wanted to work since last year but only started this year.It's a job introduced by my friend,Val,xD,and the job is all about promoting a new range of ice-cream flavours.And of course,that includes persuading people to come to you,try it and probably buy it.It's definitely a challenge to me because I'm worst in handling people despite there are friendly and supportive.I hesitated for a quite long while whether to accept this challenging job,but having considered that I still have to overcome the fear in me one day,maybe not today but probably a few years later.SO,I accepted the job and started my life in GIANT!!xD
I've only worked for three days actually,today is the fourth and my job is only on weekends,so I thought it will be relaxing.For a time like now,I've no way to accept the 5 day job since there is already a job specially "reserved" for me at home,haha,yea,I've to help my mom to do the housework on weekdays.=) But that's just my pessimistic way of thinking,haha,until the first day I relly stepped into the GIANT which I'm going to work in and went through all the strange process..hmm,I knew it isn't easy anymore.I've to enter from a special entrance for staff,punch the card,get my tag and many other things to imply.
Lucky for me,so far I've not met any of my enemies,neither friends.It's a fast training for me and now that I've managed some skills of selling ice-cream,as well as scooping ice-cream in few secondsxD,my hands are functioning throughout the day,so do my legs.The job which I've been given isn't very hard,even an 10 year old kid manages to do it well,haha,it's just a matter of patience and mood.You just have to gum the permanent smile on your face because no one will even dare to come to you if you don't smile.xD And of course,you have to control your tanthrum because many kids will chase after you just for a cup of sample.YES,a small cup of sample.And these are some conversations and situations you will often come to..
CONVERSATION 1
ME:Hi,Sir,would you like to try on our new flavours?
SIR:(smiling and just passes by)
ME:We are having promotion for our ice-cream now.And you can have a try on our ice-cream,WE HAVE SAMPLE,YOU CAN TRY!!
SIR:Oh...boleh makan free e!!(calling all his kids to come and "try")amal,ali,alan,cepat mari,boleh ambil ice-cream ini dan makan,ini ialah free punya.
ME:(I don't even get a chance to promote because I'm just busy scooping ice-cream) and that is what he brings to me...more work!!
SIR:hmm,sedaplah ice-cream ini.Boleh ambil satu lagi?
ME:Boleh sir.
SIR:Memang sedap.Ok,terima kasih ya.and just goes off with his bunch of kids....

There are also many of them giving lame excuses just to escape from buying our ice-cream.xD Some of them purposely turn to another direction to miss our counter.xDLooking
at them doing all these ,I feel funny but I can't help it since he rejects us far far away,showing the "no no,please do not come to me" kind of face.=) On the other hand,there are also some of them who are always supportive and kind,atleast they are willing to just stop by a few minutes and listen to us.Sometimes it's just not a matter of selling ice-cream,but the interaction between the customer and I does matter as well.I just feel like knowing their demands so that I can improve my selling skill and tend to tackle different types of customers.Generally,it's a tiring job,but I truly believe that there's not easy money,every cent comes with effort made.Through this job,I do understand more of people's mentally and phsycology changes
,how they think and choose.The most suprising part is that Val and I received a compliment letter from a customer,praising on our service.Professional??still a long way to go...I know I have rooms to improve...
friendly..maybe yes but why do most of the kids afraid of me?*scratching my heads*
charming..haha,no kidding!!how can a dumbo suddenly becomes charming?
But I do work hard and trying to make more sales....it's an achienvement of mine if I can reach my target,not their target.Besides, I also get to know some friends there,haha,we're having this system barter with other promoters in GIANT...!!=) exchanging our products and have "special"
sample for us.We have "uncle","gong gong","emma" there,haha,many other funny names we named them.It's not a bad experience,though it's a bit tiring,and I'm still going to work for a few more weeks maybe,=) making my weekends to the fullest,and now I suppose I'm going to work on next year,when the SPM ends,maybe another type of job.WHo knows...I'm just thinking!!tee-hee-hee

Updated

Just a few things to update today....I apologize for leaving here deserted,that was caused by my spoilt modem.Now it's the time for me to clean it up before it became even more"grassy" and dusty.=)

1.I have started working last week.It's a promoter job and I only work on weekends for about 4-5 weeks.=) Overall it was good.Though it was a bit tiring,I got to encounter different types of people....this is MALAYSIAN.With the mixture of friendly and good.On the other hand,there will also be some antagonis ,that's for sure.

2.My new maid came and just went back after working for 5 days.And the reason is she refused to work for us anymore.The worst thing was when she looked at me doing all the household choirs when she was the one who was supposed to do so...and me,yea,I'm now a maid in the house now.=)

3.My sister's wedding is just three weeks from now,so my house is in a total mess now,my room is such a glory-room with things here and there and EVERYWHERE.We are all busy preparing while helping for the housework happily.=) It's a total different feeling compared to last year...and we are now waititing for that day to come...=) 1211

4.My modem spoilt a few weeks ago.And I being a dumbo thought that something was wrong with the network connection regardless whether it's the problem of my modem.So we called the service centre for 3 times and....finally I got some response there.And the problem was actually......my-modem-was-spoilt....hmmmm!!!sorry

5.I watched Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire last friday with my sis and her friends.Hmm...comments are to be waited.Generally the effect was nicer and the story is going deeper and deeper.I saw some audiences coming out from the cinema with blur heads...haha,so it's always better to know some storylines or synopsis before entering the cinema for movie as such.I still prefer the previous series.

Generally that's what happened.=) And I feel better now,thank you for all the peeps out there.=) Haha,if you really want to lend me a hand,come to my house and help me with all the work there..I'm getting mad with all that.

I fell,I learn,I gain and I recover

Meeting back the people that I've given my heart to,looking back the road that I've chosen,thinking back the past memories which have matured my thinking,judging every decision that I've made...I'm miserable!!I'm lost....It took me 5 years to understand the fact that some people are just unforgettable.They are not out of reach,because I just need to look inside my heart and I will find you there.I was once standing on the crossroad of my life...choosing the right path to proceed.I know if I chosed the road that I've chosen today...I already lost him.That was the day he was leaving my life and a little by a little,his shadow was gone.But I still chosed the tough path..It was a new life,a bitter life for me.Smart school..that's what everyone says,but unfortunately there is a dumb me making it not a smart school.The life there was hard...really hard!I console myself...5 years is just a blink of eye,that's what I can do.I tried very hard to cope with the life in SA..and I knew some great friends there which is only the happiest thing that I've got in SA.They will be the only one for me to remember...nothing else!I felt unhappy..I told my mom...and it was 3 years after when I told my mom again.How many 3 years can I have...It's coming to an end now.I'm leaving my school next year,and that's it.I lost myself,I lost a lot of things in my life.I study,study and study,I managed to achieve something academically,but not mentally.I lost my natural feeling...I feel that I do not love anyone anymore.I do not know how to love anyone anymore,my cowardness has inhibited me from knowing anyone.I live in my own world...and yesterday I met him.My special feeling to him has gone...I felt peaceful and calm.I didn't tend to greet him,never!At that moment,I was liberated from him.He has become a faded memory.I do not blame anyone but myself...I've changed to someone else that I don't even know....I do not deserve to have this!I gained a lot in SA,that was the place I fell,and rebuild myself into another strange character.Now that I've recovered,but I've lost myself!!!I really think that a precious part of me has been taken away as time goes by.I still treat my friends honestly,I still put my family first,I still care for my study,but I'm lying to myself.I didn't know it's right or not...but I gained something.I regret but it's unchangeable.I can only continue...I can do it!!I really can...

Thanks for reading,that just shows how much you care for me.I'm just not feeling good today...forget about this rubbish!!
