This is a really long-winded post :D (Dont bother reading -.- provided yre really bored :D HA)But Yingshan ! You must read ! :D Haha, why ? So y'll be updated with what im doing, the time when im away from you !! :D:D:D Hahaha :P Crazy ? Ha, you realised :D:DI know, ive not uploaded nor updated about the Bintan trip like i promised i would :/ But i was caught up with many things... Like work ? :/ & pure laziness :P Ive actually saved everything in draft, but there are too many pictures O_O So many that its nearly impossible to load them all even after picking a handful of them out. & Provided i have lots of time
(which i kinda do) but it must be accompanied with patience
(which i dont have that many). Ha, so yup. Guess i'll just post the words & probably,... some pics too ? If my mood allowed me thou :P
Okay anw, ive been rather busy these few days... 3days, to be exact (: Yup, i was slogging. Slogging 8hrs a day, promoting
Honeysuckle White Tea D: Standing like a statue with that stupid cart D: & providing samples to whoever who walked pass D: Everything started with the feeling of stupidity & embarassment... Uncomfortable :/ Then soon it became blank, then to total boredom :/ My cheeks were tired from the effort of keeping that plastic smile plastered on my face :/ But the lil' voice behind my head told me,"
Concert tix !!!! " & That somehow or like most definitely gave me the strength to hang on (:
Working was alright on the whole, to give it some credit. But i spent the first hr looking for a guy named
Stanley ? Right, Giant was so big & i was only given a name to look for :/ After approaching a nice old security guard, he told me to go to the customer service counter. Ever since, customer service counter was my best friend at work (: Ha, its the most effective way to look for someone. All they have to do is page whoever thru the loud speaker & tah-dah (: There he'll be (: So i finally found Stanley & things fell into place. Thou pushing that annoying cart in & out of the warehouse nearly pulled a muscles or two here & there :/ But i survived :D The secret:
Pull it slow. So yeah. But even with the cart & all. There wasnt any ice :/ So i called for help. & Help came... Okay, more like Andy came :D
The incharge of drinks. He taught me where to get the ice & the sample drinks. The ice-taking was an eye-opener to me :D I was literally in Snow City again when i stepped into the gigantic freezer O_O Haha, a big block of ice seemingly to be stolen from North Pole or Alaska was lying right infront of me on the tiled floors, with a shovel, yes.
A shovel. It was stucked into the ice like a spoon in ice cream. & That was the spoon to scoop the ice cream, now being the ice :D Besides all of that excitement, i was freezing O_O Less than a minute in that freezer left my hands as cold as ice cubes O_O Yes, so now that i had everything, i went straight to work: offering samples.
People there were relatively nice, whether its the workers there or the customers. So i didnt have much trouble. But there were a few jokers :/ & ECs :D Haha, i know i know. I should be working ! But hey :D I cant help it if a good looking caucasian boy with a charming smile comes up to show interest in the product :D Haha, not interested in me of cos :P But being interested in the drink is good enough :D or..
close enough :D Haha :D As i offered the sample, he gave a really charming smile & said a heart melting "
thank you :D" He was exploding with cuteness, with his blue eyes :D:D His sister was equally heart melting (: Gorgeous (: Loved her hair and sharp perfect features.
Jealousy pang ! They left after exchanging a few comments on the taste thou. But not long did he return with his father (: Caucasians are just so polite & have such a nice humor (: Yes yes, i know im stereotyping now O_O Ha, okay, MOST caucasians are just so polite & have such a nice humor :D Better ? :P Thou im not implying that asians dont :P Oh, you get what i mean :/ Even if you dont... hmm... Anw, back to topic. Haha :D So the father came over & sampled (: He agreed that it was nice (: & they took a bottle :D The father even complimented me :D Was really happy :D At least some people bothered about the girl pouring the drinks & not only the drinks itself :/ Yup, totally made my day & the rest of the hours just flew by in a blur (:
So ystrd was my last day of work (: Was pretty relieved that it was only a 3-day duration & not any longer :/ The boredom was just unbearable :/ There wasnt anyone i could talk to :/ Thou, my sis came over on the first day to send dinner & provide some company (: That was really nice (:
Thanks sis ! :D Then on the second day, i was alone :/ But the occurance with the caucasians just filled my mind thruout the entire day & everything else was just a blur :D Yikes, HA :D The last day was the worst D: Cos its the period whereby you know the end is near but yet still not here :/ & i was running out of sampling cups :/ & They werent sold anywhere in that gigantic store :/ So for the last 3 hrs, i was out of cups :/ I slacked a lil' :P Walked around the mart & out of it to Poh Kim where i was instantaneously attracted to vcds :P Ha, then i strolled around the human infested building. Everyone was like out shopping with family or planning to go to the beach. While i was stuck here, working :/ How depressing it was O_O But i soon got over it :D Watched 20mins of 10,000 bc that was showing :D Seemed quite nice but not much of a interest after that 20mins :/ Headed back down to my abandoned cart :P Ha, decided to clear up all the rubbish & ice since there werent any cups left. Was planning to just stone but when i returned to the girls locker room, i met this girl that i got to know while working there. She's from Malaysia but chinese, 2 years older than me, working as a full time promoter & staff in Giant (: She was really nice & helpful to me thou i didnt get the chance to ask her for her name till now ): But she was nice enough to offer me her extra sampling cups when i told her i ran out of them, being the reason of my early self-dismissal :D So me being a lil' reluctant, went back with the ice box to continue the boring sampling :/ Ha, but at the same time grateful as that means i had smth to do while waiting for the slow tedious 3 hours to slowly pass. I ended early despite having some cups left :P Was really bored to my limit :/ So i cleared up like 30mins before 9pm ? HA :D However, despite my efforts to leave 15mins early, the stupid door was locked :/ I couldnt get out :/ & It'll only open at 9pm when the security guard comes around D: I was a lil' fuming within by that time, with the fraustration of boredom, irritation & the fact that i still had to wait for the guard to return D: So in the end, i left work at 9pm :/ I was able to successfully calm myself down by reading my book thou (: So that lil' flame within was put out :D & i actually enjoyed while waiting (: At least i wasnt standing out there like a statue :P
And thats the end of my virgin promoter experience (:Now im free ? Not really :/ Still looking for another job :/ Kinda in need of cash :/
(Long story)And im suppose to be chionging my
still untouched vds assignment O_O
I know i know, im screwed D:
Sigh, here goes nothing (: Bye !
& sorry for this awfully long winded post :D You dont really have to read it :D Its just for my own personal pleasure :D Hehheh :D:D:D
