*knock knock*

who's there??

LMAO
just something lame to start today's post~

anyways... my mum had a swollen eye so i went to follow her to the clinic in the morning...
and i went back home to use the computer... and went to work...

but my boss said something disappointing today...
he said i should have more confidence when talking....
it's because i didn't feel like working today... feeling really moody and tired...
but obviously i can't have an off day since I'm working part-time...

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

my 2nd week anniversary!

YAYS!~
today marks my 2nd week at work!

had fun today at work...
my first time saying it right?? after days of complaining non-stop about work...

yeah... after getting used to it, it wasn't that bad after all...
my boss just had one criticism, which was to persuade my customer to buy another 1 or 2 more accessories...

met up with my devillicious babes today...
just show you a picture of our shoes XD



mood:

My 12th day!?

yo!~
I'm back again...
today my work was smooth-sailing...
except for the fact that my boss kept rubbing it in that I could have persuaded this customer to buy accessories...
and that after promoting to so many customers, none of them bought anything (recession's on what!)
AND the way i opened the security seal with a penknife...

LOL

my mum gave extra 10 bucks today so i treated myself to some good Anderson's Ice Cream





mood:

Good News

guess what?
i just got praised by my boss today...

I completed a deal... and did all the necessary paperwork by myself.... then the guy, who is a 'newbie', was like 'worshiping' me... and told me I was amazing and smart... then my boss joined in...

note: My boss is known for his harsh scoldings...

anyways, he said that he only taught me a few times... and i got the hang of it already... and then told him proudly i was from this particular school (it's considered pretty elite in my country)...

and later, when i was promoting to another customer, I overheard the boss telling the newbies that I was only a student and working part-time, and something about how they should learn from me... the 2 pepps were in their twenties so yeah XD

I felt really embarrassed, confident, and ecstatic at the same time... i wanted to be a 'pro' in my 2nd week... and I really accomplished it after 11 days...

WOW~ after the tremendous stress and pressure I've been through... and how I was freaked out a few days ago because my bosses criticized me badly... I think I already met their expectations...

because i was told that the newbies he taught became pros after a week or so... I think I didn't break his reputation and the 'usual cycle'... and this job was my first ever... in my entire life... and is one of the most challenging part-time jobs out there...

YAYS FOR ME!~

mood:

Another day of work finished

today my boss had his off day...
and we had 2 newbies today...
one guy and one girl...
i initially thought that she was a guy.... until the moment she spoke-

she's really quiet and everything... and follows me around the shop... maybe she thought i was cool or something... LOL

and the guy was really wacky and funny... reminds me of my secondary school friend, whom i'm quite close to... i really miss her now :(
yeah, and he bullies me, makes lame jokes... imitates customers...
but both of them are like- older than me... by how many years i dunno...

so i basically had fun today... but i don't really feel THAT happy... dunno why...
maybe i really wanted to like- seriously work... and not fool around like what i did today...

but when my boss comes back tomorrow, i would be working seriously...

aerospace aerospace aerospace

i was checking the school website a few days ago, and I found out that the ratio of boys to girls in my faculty (EEE) last year was 4:1... scary man.... but i still want school to start... i kinda miss studying now... and aerospace is such a challenging and interesting course....

my work today was successful... i had fun... and i think i am getting used to my new job already....
and the best thing is that i can make money out of it... the pay every month plus commission is something i find hard to imagine...

but my back and legs hurt.... even though my brain is getting used to work, but my body still isn't...

list of stuff to do after i get my salary:
1. watch suspect X the movie
2. buy BoA's albums
3. treat my pimples (hate it to death)
4. buy a new phone
5. get more clothes + shoes
6. pierce my ears
7. buy the Akai Ito dvd when it comes out
8. treat my friends to ben & jerry's
9. save some of it
10. smell the money before i spend them
11. buy 2 bags

mood:

*phew!*

Just managed to get through 9 hours of work...

i could see that my promoting improved...
my boss only said I needed to speak louder...

GEEZZZ~
am i shy or what...

and actually i realized that my boss and another colleague could be really wacky people...
had a cool day today...

stood for 9 straight hours... with 2 minutes of break in total...
am i amazing or what...
it's gonna help alot when in the future, especially in places like the bus or the train where standing is inevitable...

after all... i stood for 9 hours.... standing for 15 minutes in the bus is nothing...

just created a facebook account....
i'm probably gonna use it when my school starts and i make more newer friends...

I'm currently addicted to Akai Ito... this jdorama which rawks like mad...

mood:

jdoramas to watch this year

I really love watching japanese dramas, so i checked d-wiki for upcoming dramas to watch...

my list:
Smile
Ghost Friends
Zettai Kareshi SP
Ekiro, Omiya-san, Kiina (yays!~ a mystery drama!!)

that's all~

mood:

7th day!~

i just had a very unexpected day today...
i memorized all the prices, models, features and contracts for 4 hours before leaving for work today...

at least I tried my very best...
maybe that's why i didn't get criticized as usual like any other day...
not even a word of complaint....

amazing right?

I think so LOL

i did try my best to promote... and persuade... even though many customers just treated me like some annoying prick....

and it's not because we were busy today....
there were plenty of free time...
i was just lazing around...
looking at phones...
wondering how much i had memorized of them...
waiting to see what they would criticize me on next...

tomorrow i would be working full day... and the next....
hope I could keep at my progress... and of course improve whenever i can...

just received an huge envelop from my poly...
telling me the check-ups i needa go...
the money transactions...
how much the school fee is for 1 year...
the registration needed to do....
rules and regulations...

can't wait when school starts...

mood:

completed one week of work~

i completed a deal today...
i managed to promote touch-screen phones... and made them buy it...
even though that customer already had an intention to buy, but at least this shows that I'm not THAT bad....

so my bosses told me that i still need to be more aggressive, but they saw that I made an effort...

a deal on my official 1 week of work...

good~

mood:

6th day~

i'm seriously sad today...
because my bosses criticized me and said that I was weak in all the areas... especially promoting...
I was told i wasn't 'proactive' enough or even 'aggressive'... and then my product knowledge wasn't rich... that's why i couldn't chat with customers or find something to converse with them...

that, i admit.

being thrown into- like a totally different world... of phones, contracts, prices, plans...

wow

and working everyday

in a place that is totally un-near my place...

seriously, my friends were shocked when i told them i was working that far away...

but when my bosses asked me whether it was my first time working, I nodded and they said 'no wonder lar...'
then my own boss went of the shop for something, the other boss told me that he was actually a very strict person... it was really hard to pass his interviews- 2 guys who came earlier in the day, in which i wasn't present at that time, my boss didn't even wanted to glance at them...

but i was told only to fill up the application form... and he told me that the EP branches are really far away and I have to be prepared... I just nodded my head (vigorously)....
later that afternoon, I received a call from the HQ saying that i got the job~

I seem to have affinity with bosses... another incident 2 years ago, I was working as an intern in a company for a school project-sort-of-thing... I was told by a friend that the boss likes me~

must work hard lor...
need to memorize
and memorize
and memorize....

and my own boss's standard is seriously H-I-G-H~
the other 2 guys he trained was E-X-C-E-P-T-I-O-N-A-L...
what the hell...

mood:

training day

today i had training...
i went out, thinking I had more than enough time to search for the place...
but i ended up spending so much time running in and out of buildings in chinatown...
was almost late... i called the centre, and they guided me... but i got confused because there were 2 different bridges connecting to Chinatown point... i crossed the wrong one... and spent so much times searching for what was not there...

GRRRRRRRRRRR~
but i finally found the place (thank god)

we had a 3 hour session... but the trainer had the most horrendous english i had ever heard...
the way she said 'downgrade' was like- 'dang gui'... i had to bite my lip to stop myself from bursting into laughter... there were only 2 people who came for the training- me and another guy...
the most embarrassing thing was that the trainer liked to ask me questions... and i got half of them wrong... and was corrected by that guy...

now i feel like killing myself...

anyways... after that i spotted him checking himself in the mirror in Chinapoint point... LOL
i was thinking- 'opps i caught ya~'

and then i ate a very satisfying lunch cum dinner at Subway... next time i should order a foot-long sandwich...

mood:

5 day~

i should seriously stop making this habit of updating my blog 1 day late...

anyways...
yesterday was an okay day.... because my boss had his off day that day... so i didn't really have that much stress as i usually had... but the boss for that day commented that i need to change my tone when talking with the customers... talk to them like how i talk to my friends...- like how i do with my other devilicious mates!? (note: devilicious is the name of our 'clique' with my 2 other budds)

i also made a small mistake while filling up an online application...
other than that, it's an 'okay' for the very first time~

i treated myself to some Western dish before going to work yesterday... for standing 9 hours for 2 consecutive days... LOL



yum-yum...

going off to training today at 3...
i really want school to start now... but it's really impossible...
because you can't fast-forward time and i really want to receive this month's paycheck LOL

mood:

4th day!

i was really tired when i came back from work, so i couldn't update yesterday's entry...
anyways...
i made a mistake yesterday, because i was so engrossed in doing the procedures for an application, that i submitted what i should not have... because the customer changed her mind lol~
grrrrrr... and i was told i still lacked confidence... i think the sales sector is really challenging... and it's something really new to me... i really hope i can catch up...-FAST~
gosh, and my legs were breaking after work... but after 9 hours of sleep it's much better...

btw...
i just received a call from the training centre saying that they were waiting for me at there NOW...
but last night at 10 plus, i was called to say that it would be on Tuesday instead... how confusing is that??

I'm just freaking out now... it's my first job and i want to do it well... GRRRRR~
i don't even have time to do anything... it's like a huge drastic change from my lazy lifestyle where i couldn't find anything to do, to a seriously hectic one where i couldn't find time to do anything... (except update this blog maybe)

what a life

mood:

3rd day!~

BACK!!

i think my promoting skills are improving...
but i still need to focus on my knowledge.... and my translation skills are like- <_<>be going for training next monday... I really hope i can be a pro after that.... my legs are like breaking now... worked for 9 hours today... grrrrrr....~ AND~ HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!

mood:

2nd day!

lol... i slept yesterday so i couldn't update yesterday's post...
there were even more criticism... my salesman skills weren't up to mark yet... boos
even this job had met my expectations, i just realized how far i was from reaching my own expectations...
I think I am getting used to this routine now... aside from multiple mistakes, the times I panicked, and how i couldn't remember info i had painstakingly memorized...
I really hope i could master everything by next week... the pressure's all mine XD

I'm off to work now, will update later when i come back home...

mood:

feelings about my first day

Back from my first day!

Overall, it was a really challenging job... and it met my expectations of a sales job...
but i came home feeling the burden of having memorizing mobile plans, details, prices... of course, I'm not complaining... but it's my first time feeling a deep sense of responsibility towards my job... the sense of responsibility was so great that I felt was much bigger than examinations in school...

But i'm confident that i would be one of the best sales persons!
I was supposed to check on something online about prices, but i'll do it later... now it's time to destress after work!... geez... why do i sound like a grown up now!?

btw... i found out that wonder girls got their dae sung!! congratz... but it reminds me of the time where BoA won hers 2 times... now i miss her in Korea O.o

i'm still having work tomorrow... basically i work everday... for 2 months...
But i still feel weird... after slacking for 3 months without nothing to do AT ALL, I'm suddenly working everyday like mad... big big change, but i'd have to get used to it...
I wonder when i would start getting sick of this job??

oh yeah... i just had my weekly reunion with the DEVILICIOUS!!~ and we ate in sakae sushi.. and i learnt alot about sushi... not my fault, I didn't really go to one before... so it was all new to me... haiz... JC seems to be seriously tough... haiz... 61 more days to my first day in poly!!!!
Time, PLEASE FAST FORWARD YOURSELF TO APRIL 13!!! PLE-EASE??
