YAy! *claps claps* ^^

Yesterday, a cousin of mine came over to the house. Apparently, he is slowly but denyingly giving in to his feminine side. Hello? Which GUY actually likes shopping…. for clothes? Hehehe.

I got some updates about our other cousins from Ah Hwa (no, it does not mean “flower” or “drawing” in any way in any dialect). Apparently one get paid peanuts working in a high-class club as a bartender in Singapore. Yep, that’s right! The cuzzie is a bartender!

Anyway, in Singapore, electronic gadgets are a lot cheaper as compared to Malaysia.

And, since I’m not much of a talker and I’m pretty busy today, here’s some photos instead.

The cousin, Ah Hwa.

The dog that cousin said he liked.

Notice those funky socks!

Waiting for a cab.

Dinner at Dragon-i @ 1U. Courtesy of the cousin. See the glee in his face when it comes to food! This is my most hated brother.

And, lastly, what would it be without the customary photo-taking at th end of the meeting?

I do NOT care how I look. The essence is that I am IN the PICTURE, ugly, crazy-looking, or otherwise.

2nd Day @ Work.

Made double the amount of sales as compared to yesterday.

One customer got worked up over the conditions of the contest. She couldn’t get her way with me, and complained to the hypermarket’s customer service. The hypermarket customer service manager asked me what was the problem about, and I told him. It wasn’t my mistake OK. The manager then told me:

“The customer is always right, just let the customer…“

Ah well. So instead of getting a single chance at the lucky draw, she had two. Didn’t win anything of significance also. Both times also win a small prize only. I mean, unless the chances of winning a car or something then OKla get what I mean? The biggest gift is a mere RM100 Roxy voucher, which you will only receive 2 months later.

The 2nd time she came back to me though, my other friends (the promoters from other companies and 2 hypermarket staffs) gathered around, all kay poh to see what’s up. Lol. No la. They just gathered around so that the lady wouldn’t dare to scold me bleeekkkk

So, that’s the only blah incident thruout my 2 days into this job.

My new friends have been entertaining, the hypermarket’s staff friendly, a few a little creepy, but that’s OK! Overall, it’s the the best job I’ve had – even though the pay might be a little low, but that’s OK! Hahaha

Here’s some pics of a few of my new friends.

Tsaeyun – 8A1s don’t play-play! Never played any game nor sport. 100% brains only.

Tsaeyun and me

Darren Yeu and his supervisor hahaha

Eu Yan Sang supervisor – see the sweet smile and cute face? It hides a strict and fierce character behind. Really.

Darren Yeu kay poh ing with my lucky draw cards. – Consistently achieves 7As in exams. Full of nonsense, seemingly innocent BUT secretly a pien-tai (read: Pervert in Mandarin)

Take photo no problem!

Candid shot

Supervisor, Darren and mua. Ignore my happy belly please.

Yes, not many customers around, hence the photo-taking ;P Believe me, there’s alot of opportunities to play around

Oh yeah! I also met a new guy – well, not really new – just that I’ve never met him before – yesterday. He’s a part-time promoter for some milk powder, if I am not mistaken. I misheard his name as Eric – its AARON. Poh Ching wake up.

So this 18 year old guy is a banana too, like me Muahaha good good One thing I’ve learned from mixing with a few Bananas is – usually, they are of high-class, highly intelligent, rather matured and rich, although they may vehemently deny it. Needless to say, their level of spoken-English beats me flat any time. So does this mean on a balance of probabilities, I’m stupid beyond reasonable doubt?

Aaron is on quest for a suitable A-levels science course. AAAHHH kalah I lagi. I’m in an Arts course now. Prima facie, he seems to have planned out his future. Take an A-levels course, then do a piloting course then work for Singapore Airlines.

“A piloting course can be taken right after SPM, no?” I asked. I remember Dad having mentioned about his friend’s son who took a piloting course after failing SPM.

“Yeah, but Singapore Airlines requires A-levels.”

The first thing that hit me when I met Aaron was deja-vu. Just minutes ago, I saw him walking the opposite direction I was walking as I entered the employees’ entrance after dinner. I remembered him because he looked a lot like Nick Ong, but maybe a little slimmer.

So that’s pretty much all for the 2nd day. Til next weekend when I go back to work. I shall be taking more pictures then. Hahahaha.

1st Day @ Work!

I now have a new nick-name. It’s so silly yet so funny.

Not that I have not been to work before. I have a few times. But yesterday was my 1st day working at a hypermarket. I thought it would be fun and easy, as you know well, well-known hypermarket, management would be smooth right? Not quite true!

I was made to wait 45mins just to certify my contract, to be able to work in the said hypermarket. I was 30mins early for work, but was delayed till almost 10.30am. Argh! While waiting, I heard another two (probably) permanent lady workers discuss a little about me.

“Budak mentah.” (read: Fresh kid)

Mentah? “Memang la orang sini kot. Tak pakai make-up. ‘rang baru.” (read: Definitely local person I suppose.Not wearing make-up. New person.)

Hmm.

Then after the ladies left, a janitor came by, sweeping the floor (abuthen?). He spoke English, even though he is Indian (Bangladeshi?). I couldn’t hear the 1st word properly though. Here’s what he said sounded like to me:

“Single?“

Huh? “Sorry?“

“Working?“

“Yea. Waiting for the HR person.”

I don’t know if he understood what I said, but as he left after, I when back to sms spamming certain reliable “victims”. Out of boredom OK. Better than becoming cranky about the situation no?

Then off to the booth I’m supposed to take care of, heavy laptop in tow. (Not mine OK! ME no money buy lappy :/)

Checked out the booth, to make sure everything I needed was there.

Chair? Check.

Products? The latest fragrance isn’t there at all. How ridiculous! Put a big signboard showing a picture of the LATEST FRAGRANCE, but in reality, there isn’t any on display bodoh. Customer asks then what did I say? “Sorry out of stock.” But in fact, there WASN’T ANY STOCK in the first place.

Power socket for lappy? NONE AVAILABLE.

As a result, the laptop ran out of battery in a matter of hours. Bodoh.

Next week I dowana lug around the laptop no more. People keep warning me (from agent to main company to even the hypermarket’s staff!) to keep an eye on the laptop! One worried staff (she checked whether the laptop is STILL there EVERYTIME she passes by) even told me to sit next to it at all times! If I sit how am I going to chase after the customers??? Sheesh! So, before even half the day is through, I took the useless laptop down to the employees’ storeroom cum security checkpoint to be kept there.

Free gifts? NADA. TIADA DALAM PERKHIDMATAN.

I’m supposed to give free notepads to those who ACTUALLY responded to the contest I’m promoting. No notepads how to give? Luckily, by the time the merchandiser who was VERY VERY LATE because he thought it was a FRIDAY – no customers had ACTUALLY come back for the lucky dip to get a chance at winning a free gift.

ANYWAYS, it was really fun working there. I made a few new friends – only one of them is the same age as me, the others are only 18 I feel so old arrrrr!!!!!! They are all funny people with their own quirks. They may seem to be full of crap, but in fact, they consistently score 7-8Asin their exams so don’t look down on them!! I sort of pitied them, for they get paid peanuts to come down all the way from outstation (Negri Sembilan, Pahang) just to work here. How measly? A mere RM40 per 8am-11pm day. You do the math. They get free transportation and free lodgings and high commissions though. The last time, they had around RM600 per person. So give and take?

What I’m getting? No free transport, and probably no commission. I work technically 12hours a day for RM “a little more than peanuts, I get walnuts :p “.

Le sigh. Here’s my 2cents on WHY I get paid a little more than the other promoters.

• I, alone have to man a big area on my own.
• I have no supervisor.
• I have to take care of a laptop.
• Meaning I have more responsibilities.

Others have

• A supervisor.
• No expensive equipment to take care of.
• At least 3 colleagues work together on the same day.

Le sigh.

Overall, mostly with the laughter provided by the other promoters, I managed to keep smiling, and speak in a nice tone throughout the whole actual 10hours I’m working. No sour face due to the pain in my feet or crankyness from the early morning. Every customer was greeted with a smile even though inside I felt like throwing bottles of deodorant in their faces. Lol. Just kidding.

And my new nick-name?

“REXONA!” (- -” )

Boy!

I got this from Friendster’s bulletin board

Guys hate sluts even though
they
have sex with them!
(oh yeah..you’re not “popular” if
you’ve slept with more than 6
guys..you’re a HOE)

–Guys may be flirting around all day
but before they go to sleep, they
always think about the girl they truly
care about.

*Flirt around? HoW dare he!

–Guys go crazy over a girl’s smile.
–Guys will do anything just to get
you to notice him

–Guys hate it when you talk about
your ex-boyfriend or ex love-interest.

–Boyfriends need to be reassured
often that they’re still loved.
*True. So do girls okay.
–Don’t talk about your guy friends to
your boyfriend.

–Guys get jealous easily.

–Guys are more emotional than they’d
like people to think.
*True!
–Giving a guy a hanging message
like “You know
what?!..uh…nevermind..” would make
him jump to a conclusion that is far
from what you are thinking. And he’ll
assume he did something wrong and
he’ll obsess about it trying to figure
it out.

*And I thought only GIRLS do this
–Guys are good flatterers when
courting but they usually stammer when
they talk to a girl they really like.
*True :p

–A usual act that proves that the guy
likes you is when he teases you.
*NOT TRUE.
–Guys love you more than you love
them if they are serious in your
relationships.
*Can I say YES? :/
–Guys think WAY too much. One small
thing a girl does, even if she doesn’t
notice it can make the guy think about
it for hours, trying to figure out
what it meant.

*YES, in the beginning!
–Guys seek for advice from girls not
other guys. Because most guys think
alike, so if one guy’s confused, then
we’re all confused.

*I duno about this one.

–When a guy asks you to leave him
alone, he’s just actually
saying, “Please come and listen to me.”
*Really?
–If a guy starts to talk seriously,
listen to him. It doesn’t happen that
often, so when it does, you know
something’s up.

*Some guys are more matured than that!
–If your best guy friend seems to
avoid you or is never around when
you’re with your boyfriend, he’s
probably jealous and likes you.
*Haha no comments.

–When a guy tells you that you are
beautiful, don’t say you aren’t. It
makes them want to stop telling you
because they don’t want you to
disagree with them.

*Oops. :/

–When a guy looks at you for longer
than a second, he’s definitely
thinking something.
*They are?
–Guys don’t like girls who punch
harder than they do.
*HAHAhaHAHA ! BUT, when do they ever admit?

–A guy has more problems than you can
see with your naked eyes.

–Don’t be a snob. Guys can be
intimidated and give up easily.
*Don’t everyone hate a snob?

–Guys talk about girls more than
girls talk about guys.
*Nah, not really.

–Guys hate rejection, but they hate
being led on even more.

–If you are going to reject a guy,
just do it. Don’t say they are like a
brother or just good friends, it just
hurts even more. Tell them that you
aren’t interested in a relationship
and they will respect you.

–Guys really think that girls are
strange and have unpredictable
decisions and are MAD confusing but
somehow are drawn even more to them.
*REALLY? Yeah right @_@
–When a guy sacrifices his sleep and
health just to be with you, he really
likes you and wants to be with you as
much as possible.
*Nah this is a joke.

—Girls, if u don’t repost this
within 1 hr then you will lose the guy
of your life

—Guys if you don’t repost this in
one hr then you will lose the girl of
your life.
