Time:11.30pm

Today's work at Jurong Point was pretty good
Opening till closing, not really that busy at all
Today learned quite a few things:
- Learning how to see the heels' length ( 1 inch = almost 2cm )
- Have to be ARMED with a pen .. LOL ( For personal sales )
- Learning how to climb shelves ( Like Rock-climbing )
- Memorising the article's number by heart
- Knowing how to take initiative to ask customers ( Can I help? )

Cause Jurong Point's Outlet is really boring, I have time to learn many things
Then sometimes customer asking me which 1 fit them better
I just select whichever I find it nicer looking to me *HaHa*
After hearing from Alex, and those staff saying about how Wisma's outlet
It's abit scary, having 6 lorongs, where Jurong point only have 3
Meaning, more shoes(articles) and much higher
Tmr gonna be hell at Wisma
Gonna go rest now, Cya Around

0 comments

Time:7.30pm

So, 8 days of working at Charles & Keith warehouse sales was finally over
Got to know a wide range of ppl from there
At least, this opened the opportunity for me to carry on working with them
Tmr to Saturday, I'll be working at different outlets
Kinda stupid in a way because I need to get used to 1 place first mah
They just simply put me here and there , whatever
=========================================
Tuesday: Jurong Point
Wed : Wisma
Thursday: Jurong Point
Friday : Jurong Point
Sat : J8
=========================================
Each day working from 11am-10pm($5/h)
I know, it's hard work at low pay, better than nothing
At least, you girls who wanna come down and buy stuff
I'm sure I can get you some discounts =)

Anyway, ytd went to Poly's BBQ gathering at East Coast Park
Got to drive my friend's bro car, Chevrolet Optra type S
It's a red plate sports car
It's an Europe car, so the signal thing is on the opposite side
And the handbrake is much closer to the other seat
Other than that, nth much different
Had to rush down to Frankel Ave, BBQ Wholesale centre to pickup the foods ordered
After that, went back smb to borrow the water container from Nick
Then went to woodlands Checkpoint to pick up the car owner
I actually thought of asking to lend car from Yang
Cause my friend's bro wanted to use the car
But in the end, nvm le
I drove to EastCoast Park, then my friend's Bro drove back
When going home, he'll come fetch us =)

Reached there about 4pm, slacked abit while waiting for others to reach
About 5.30pm, started to make fire
And seriously, we have shit loads of fun fighting against the wind
No 1 had lighter, and we have 5 boxes of matches to try light the starters
So FREAKING windy lah, LOL
1 friendly auntie helped us to start the fire with the matches
She's Pro .. HaHa
Spent almost an hour to get the 2 pits started
Time to BBQ !
I'll say that some of the food from BBQ wholesales are nice
The Corns are nice if well BBQ-ed
As well as the 3-joint wings
Some are totally not recommended
But after all, appreciated Azmil's Effort for planning this BBQ
Sadly I was busy with warehouse sales, can't help him much
When every1 was almost there, Azmil the mastermind
Started a water bomb fight with the B'day boy Guo Qiang
He's not really a sporting guy, cause he got angry after 1 bag landed on him
And he went crazy running around like (&$#^*&@!@!
Seriouysly, he run very fast, none of us can catch him
Jez .. can't he just stand still and let us throw
Took some group photos before we call it the day
BUT !!! how can we let him off just like that
With a few packets of water bombs only
I came up with this great idea
Pretend to take a picture with him
And asking my other friend to pour the icey cold water on him when he didn't noticed
Tada.. Mission accomplished =)

Didn't noticed the camera man

B'day Boy on the Far Left

Polys' Bros

The Pour-er Behind *HeHe*

A few was missing on the day

090322's Gathering at East Coast Park

Anyway, I've been trying to plan for my Early Dinner with family/friends
Searched through so many hotels and resturants
Still have yet to decide, and time is running out
Also planning for my chalet on April 8th-10th
Try to make it as fun as it can, thinking of some games
Hoping ppl can be sporting enough to participate
I've yet to send out invites to everyone, give me a little more time
To plan my stuff nicely =)
Looking forward to it

Oh yea, before I forgot, these are my results
Not very good, can't get me to anyway

3.133 Only =\

I have about 2 years of NS to think what's next for me

Monday, 16th March, 2009 [ Sales Finally Over ]
0 comments

Time: 10.45am

Finally, 4 straight days of warehouse sales is over
Having to work from 9am-9pm(10pm on first day of sales) for 4 days
Is really very tiring, reach home already 11pm+
Have to wake up around 7am
Then once the day starts, have to stand close to 12 hours
My feet hurts like hell

First day of sales(Thursday), our target was $120,000
We only hit about $70,000
I loved the first day because
Alot of chio bu to see
Second day(Friday), our target was $150,000
But only reached 62%, which is around $80,000
Third day(Saturday) target was $180,000
Our sales almost reached the target, but still failed at $174,000
Last day(Sunday), was very sad
Not much ppl compared to other 3 days, and I still dunno how much we achieved
Today work starts at 1pm,
Finally I don't have to wake up early
Last 2 days, to clear up the whole warehouse

After these 4 days, being a sales associate is quite interesting
Service line would be my first time
Enjoyed most of it cause I can see pretty girls * HaHa *
But anyway, I was the few selected to work at C & K's retail shop
Because of good performance =)
I've accepted their offer and still waiting for more information,
About being a part-timer for C & K
But still only $5/h, better than nothing

Ok, I need to go prepare for work le, cya later

Wednesday, 11March, 2009 [ Busy Days On The Way ]
0 comments

TIme: 6.15pm

Just had my dinner
Listening to music and camping at home LoL
Resting at home today cause next few days gonna be tough
Past 2 days for me was quite tiring
Cause was busy with the preparation of Warehouse Sales by Charles & Keith

1st day was tiring and very hot
We were asked to reach by 9am
We waited till 10am then got briefed
After that, our work starts
First task was so not fun
Having to go around the warehouse to find and seperate
All the stocks into categories
And have to put them by sequence
Next, once we have all sorted out
We have to start putting them up into the shelves
When there's a few missing boxes, we have to leave space for those
Then have to go find them
Putting the shoes boxes up the shelves sounds easy
But when there's no air-con + so squeezy
And there's so many things in the way, it's not as easy as u think
Was sweating, but still have to get things done fast
About 1/2 the day gone, everything was put into the shelves
Next was to tie the shoes with "tao gei"
As well as sticking the price tags
The not so fun part is, having to remove the older price tags
And also have to remove any un-wanted stickers on the shoes
So .......... (#(*&*&!@*&@(*)*!@
First day end at 10pm

2nd day, reported by 10am
Continue doing the "tao gei" and price tag
This time i was posted to another area, where I have to cover ppl's mistake
They stick at the wrong place, and some not well done
WTF lah, i find out who done it, sure kana D**K slap
Waste ppl's time re-doing
Then till about 3.30pm
Almost everything was done
I was asked to help un-pack boxes of bags
All ladies bags, price ranging from $14.90- $49.90 i think
After that, flatten the empty boxes
Before dinner, we started cleaning up the whole place
Arranging all the stuff neatly
Displaying all the different type of shoes,bags and etc
Just right before we head upstairs for dinner
We were assigned to our post
I was selected for sales(shoes)
Alex got selected for sales also(bags)
As for Nick, guess what
He and another guy was selected to be . . .
SECURITY GUARD !!!
Me and Alex was laughing at him (LMAO)
Then after being assigned, I have to start memorising the shoes numbers,
That I'll be handling
I really really have poor memory
1 moment she said she wanted a size and color, next moment i walked to the stocks
I forgotted what she wanted...
That was during the trial test
The in-charge gave us test
Having to react fast to request by customers, responding to different situations
And knowing how to keep our display shoes in order
The last 1 was very =_="
She messed up 1/3 of the whole row of table, and asking us to re-arrange everything accordingly
Luckily me and another 2 guys managed to arrange it back
So, we passed the test
Dinner was free on 2nd day, dunno why
Ended earlier on tuesday, 8pm
After that went to AMK chill abit with Nick and Alex

Today no need to go back work,
Since everything have been prepared and ready for the sales on Thursday-Sunday
From their passed experienced, they say it's gonna be very chaotic
So, better get more rest and be prepared to ROCK ON
4 days of madness is here
LOL, the aunties better not mess up my place or i . . . i . . . i . . . use the shoes and throw u !
*HAHA*

Today was so random
Was actually reading/looking at this
Our Makan Places Lost & Found book
Then the Murtabak picture was so tempting
So i asked Mak, Nick and Yang wanna go try anot
Was surprised they so on .. haha
I finally able to get the chance to drive again
Been 4 months since I last drove
Was my first time driving at night...
And I'm so freaking noob...I dunno the direction well
Don't have good vision at night also
LoL !!!
So frustrated about spending 5 mins to get the car parked nicely
Haiz, I need more practice =P

Anyway, it wasn't a wasted trip
The Mutton/Chicken Muurtabak was really nice
Really wasted was their briyani have sold out *Damn*
Then tried Mee Goreng and Nasi Gorent as well
Still so-so, normal i guess
Can't missed out satay also
The sauce was kinda sweet compared to other satay sauce
But it's still nice

Mutton Murtabak **4/5**

Mee Goreng **2.8/5**

Nasi Goreng **2.8/5**

Satay **3.3/5**

He's happily eating away our 2nd Chicken Mutton

This place is at
