Early in the morning, i went to work tgt with my Mom & jiejie... We were supposed to alight at City hall but when its at Somerset, my jiejie wanted to alight. I had no idea where was she going, neither Sentosa nor Suntec city. Lol. At first, i was quite nervous cos i wasn't sure of what am i supposed to do and stuff. I was blur until my "manager" assigned me to give out flyers for the roadshow event... My first reaction was "Huh! Give out flyers? so malu leh..." However, i went for it and i was quite shy to do it at first. Thanks to my colleague, i was more daring after awhile and enabled to finish the assignment. Actually, nothing much in the first day but i'm puzzled why tourists or some Singaporeans got so excited after seeing a big Christmas tree just outside the entrance of Suntec city?! All of them kept wanting to take photograph with the Christmas tree and totally ignored us. haiz! Well, i met many kinds of people within 3 hours...
1.People who thinks highly of themselves so totally ignored you even the flyers are jus in front of them... Just need to stretch out their hands a bit to get it! [Esp people who carries LV bags] 2. Polite people be it whether they take the flyers a not... Don't- they'll smile at you and indicate that they doesn't want. DO- they'll smile at you and say thank you! haha. 3. Typical Singaporeans who just wants freebie... I had to show them the exclusive free gifts to be won that part for they to take the flyers. Haiyoh!

This time round, i went to work myself as my mom went there from Office. Haiz. The journey was long... Well, i took only 10mins from City hall Mrt station to Suntec city! Woots. In the end, i reached earlier than my mother. Lol. As usual, i was assigned to go give out flyers... I was alright with that idea now even though its embarrassing since i did it before. I was happily giving out the flyers until i saw MR LEE! I didn't realised tat he was staring at me until he tripped over a step... Omg. *paiseh* I stopped whatever i was doing as i was in total shock for awhile before i continued. Not long later, i met my junior with a batch of SMSS girls.. wth! I was super malu and pissed off by that time... Okay, after my job i waited for my mom to knock off and my dad to fetch us from there. While waiting, i got nothing to do so i went to help my mom's colleagues to buy their dinner from Soup Spoon at Raffles link. Once again i walked super fast to the shopping mall wanting to get everything done asap... When i'm almost reaching the escalator to the mall... Guess who i saw again?! Benjamin from RI... Walao, i was wearing my uniform + jeans + snickers with my hair down. *paiseh* We saw each other than we hurried turned away then i just went on with my task. LOL.

Praise the Lord! I didn't have to go outside the mall to give out flyers instead i was assigned to promote a day & night moisturiser [Pyna-c]. Well, i need to wear a retarded apron with the bottle of moisturiser everywhere i go trying to promote it and asking people to try it. Before i'm able to get people to buy it, i need to accept some criticism... I was asked "Eeyer! Why is ur face still so pimplish after using the moisturiser?" My answer was " Oh! I jus finished my exams so too stressed already all the pimple popping out now..." WTH~! After awhile, the same customer came to comment on me again. "What's ur name? I like your beautiful smile..." she commented. I don't noe should i believe her anot or thinks that she is crazy. Well, i cannot offend her cos i was told that she is one of the company's big buyer. Lol. After lunch break, i super pissed after trying to promote that product! No ones willing to try it as they're afraid to damage their face or whatever reason... On top of that, my managers and boss were keeping their eyes on me giving me more pressure. argh! In the end, i gave up. I went to promote a healthy green tea that can only be found in Nature's farm. I enjoyed the job very much and i managed to make new friends... CH and Gi gi :) Both of them were very cool as they were blading inside the mall. Well, they inspired me to learn roller blading again after the last time i played which was many years ago. Haha! Cherlyn & her friend came to say Hello to me as well as each of them bought a bottle of green tea from me. My mom came to call me after she saw Gillian... She was yawning while i went to hug her. haha! I gave her a shock but she still bought one bottle of green tea from me too.. Lol. Before i knocked off, Alstair came standing infront of me. He tried the drink but he didn't like it... Well, he still bought a bottle from me :) Thanks peeps! I stood and talked the same thing again and again like recorder for eight hours... My legs were wobbly after working for the whole day. Lol. I had to use hot water to soak my leg to reduce the numbness. Quite effective though. hehe.

Yay! Its the last day of work... I continued to do the same job as yesterday since i enjoyed it. haha. My dad sent my mom, jiejie and me to work at suntec since he wasn't working. I didn't had a good sleep last night so i was a bit grumpy at first. I fell asleep on the way to suntec in the car and i was woke up by a car accident right beside me! 3 cars in a row in the highway... Omg, scary sia. When i was about to start work, i saw Saranya with her family shopping! So early wor.. haha. Hmm, i was called as Babe by customers esp those Caucasian . Lol. My jie and I were being teased by some of them while we're promoting the drink. "Ask her for her phone number so that u can contact her later..." HAHA! Well, i was being tip by one of them too. Lol. Oh, i came across Korean customer too so i managed to greet them in korean! Cool. Anw, i had a great exercise running here and there cos i had to run to the refrigerator to get chill green tea asap for the customers. At that time, i wished i was blading so don't need to run. Well, kill two birds with one stone :) I really had a great working experience this year even though i was being teased by CH always. He said my facial expression is according to timing! If i don smile or like annoyed is 12noon expression when i just started work not long ago... If i'm smile happily or creaking jokes is 7pm expression when i'm about to go home... Lol. He commented that i should smile more to look nicer. haha! Before we knock off, we took photos as a souvenir... Yay! Mummy bought my favourite cheesecake from Bakerzin for us. Woots.
ps: photos will be uploaded soon...
