a little update
I was having problems while logging into my blog. Looks like it's really been very long since I blog again. Just a little update about my life. I've quit my waitress job and became a runner for LV (about a year since I started). Lots of ups and downs during the period that I stopped blog-ing. I knew that I didnt go out often with most of my friends but I truly hope they'll remeber me. I'm truly sorry if I was not there when you all need me the most. But I hope that whenever you need someone to talk to, always remember that I'm just a phone call away. All the best to everyone and stay positive ^^ Love all of my friends.

Looks like my waitress job is confirmed le.. will start work next thurs.. this weekend will work as promoter again.. same products.. but more exciting than last week.. why?.. because got my own table and a spin wheel.. sounds fun.. even though i know it's not a easy job.. more stuff means more things to handle and manage.. hope i'm able to do all that..
Going for the promoter course next week for two days.. i really wonder wat they'll teach?.. guess it's a good time for me to learn some skills in working as promoter.. and attending to this course means there'll be a greater chance for more jobs.. more jobs more income.. haha.. think i'm a bit $$ minded now.. but since i've decided to pay my own expenses and sch fees.. i should work harder to achieve my goal.. just bear for these two years.. and i'll have less to worry..
anyway.. working different jobs can let me learn different things.. i really want to learn more skills so that i can handle different situation when i really start to work in the future.. have a taste of everything is always good.. haha.. Jia you!!!

Went to work today. Tried my best to work faster, finally finished early. (got paper cut *sad*) So I went to SIM to make the payment etc. Took almost 35mins plus 15mins of bus waiting to reach SIM. Fall asleep in bus again. Haha. (Anyway, I only left the application form now.) Think this will happened more often in the future. I was thinking of earning my own school fees for the second year. Of caus, I have to support myself too. Because I don't want to be a burden for my mum any more. It's time for me to earn money for my own expenses. I'm old enough to support myself. Yet, I really need a job with good pay to achieve this. Hope I can find such job soon. For the time being, I'll continue to be an admin staff, promoter and may be a waitress to earn as much as I could before school starts.
Jia you!!!

This is where I worked for the past two days.
This Growie from Grow. But I think I like Huggies de giraffe more.
Is much more cuter.
Before
After
Life is always unpredictable. Why?
Because the sales was not good on the first day.
But the first day had much more customers than the second day.
Yet my sales was so much better on the second day.
Weird right?
Think sunday is a time for families to buy tissues.
Haha. I was very busy today.
Arranging stocks, taking stocks and plastic bags, cutting out labels etc.
Not too bad. At least time passed faster.
The other promoters were nice ppl ^^
Luckily didn't really meet tough customers or managers.
Even though there are one rude customer, but overall the customers were quite alright.
Who said must promote aggressively? =P

Went to United Square today to promote Kleenex.I was super early. Supposed to start work at 9am, but I reached by 8.30am.
Then I was unsure whether I should work at the store or atrium. Cause I saw Kleenex products at the atrium.
So I called Promo to ask them.
Then the "trainer" told me "Didn't I told u that u should work next to a block stack?"."So it's inside the store?" I asked. "Yes." she replied.
Then guess what? I was supposed to work at the atrium since there's no "block stack" for me at the store. Really don't like the "trainer", her attitude really sux man. Can't she just talk to me properly, and if she doubt my ability in promoting then may be she should not ask me to work again. I really hate ppl to ask me qns, like doubt me this n that. Stupid la. I didn't go for a test but a training. So aren't u suppose to tell me how to promote and not test me?Another "someone" told me to be aggressive in promoting my products otherwise, they'll still be there. So how to promote the products when the customers have no interest in the products, or they don't need them and don't want the free gifts? To me, if they looked at the products, they're interested in them. For those who just walked pass, even if I told them abt free gifts etc, they'll just reject me. What's more. The DJ is talking louder than me, plus the music, I nearly need to shout to make the customers hear me. Argh!!! Who want to carry tissues ard shopping?

Suppose today should have a happy beginning and a happy ending.
But ended up to have a bad beginning, luckily still have a happy ending.
Sounds confusing. I shall explain wat happen then.
Today is my mum's birthday and the first day, after so long, to meet him.
I was rushing off to buy mac breakfast, when I reached the mrt station, I discovered that I forgot to bring my hp. (the train is approaching in 2 mins and if I abroad the train, I'll be able to buy mac breakfast) However, without my hp, I can't contact him and a person will call me regarding the weekend job. So no matter wat, I have to get my hp. I went all the way home to take my hp (really dun want to do that but have to), then walked all the way back to mrt station. I can tell you that my temper then was super bad. (I have to say sorry for being a bit rude to my mum today.) I was super angry of myself (I think), and also due to the hot hot weather. But I got to cool down when I met him. The rest of the day was fine though. Anyway, this was not the first time I forgot to bring my hp and other stuffs. Think I have to double check my belongings when I go out le.

The place looked like a train station.
So cute!!
let's take a closer view
another closer view
There's not a lot of people visiting the exhibition, so was quite slack.
This is the "head" of the train, where we helped the customers to register as Huggies members.
Then we'll give them a bag each.
The bag is very cute too.
the sign up form
Here's the place where customers redeem their purchases and feebies.
Some of the view from the inside.
A basket of bodysuits.
The hidden toilet behind the exhibition.
Below are the cute mascots in the exhibition...
The giraffe "hides" in the big big bag.
A picture with the cute huggies giraffe.
I was supposed to wear this beret during the exhibition.
But didn't do that, anyway I found wearing it look cute so decided to take a picture. Haha.
Sometimes, it's boring when you've nothing to do during work.
Also, if the people you worked with is not cooperative, you'll not enjoy working.
I'm too tired to type much. Haha.
But I really miss him cause I almost meet him everyday since holiday started.
This is the first time that I didn't get to see him for about 6 days. ><
Hope to see him real soon.
1:54 am
Hong Kong is going to face a very big challenge. That is H1N1. It will be a tough fight, but HK has to win no matter how. Hope this disease will not continue to spread further.
Will update about what happen these few days working at expo on sunday.
