Hello people, I am finally back. Sorry for not updating for weeks due to tight schedule. However, these 2 weeks i have lots of fun and experience to share with you guys. Without further a do, let's begin!

I shall start with the recent things first. Ok, today i am suppose to work but i told the full timer that i wanna rest one day. So i took the plunge to go Orchard to shop with my mum and dad. I echanged a woollen shirt bought on Isetan Private Sale on 26th Dec from SPRINGFIELD which is kinda fitting but i dun think i have to chance to wear it often in Singapore as it is too hot. So i exhanged for a SHIRT instead. After which, headed to Robinsons Centrepoint to look for Dad's apparels. Impatient Stanley was bored so he headed alone to Vivo to purchase his pants which he has been yearning for weeks but wait till Sale period then he will buy. All thanks to Kenny who has a friend working there and is able to give me a 30% discount(shiok)! Took a picture in the fitting room with my new shirt on!

Tada! Nice? Sorry about the sucky quality which made it difficult to judge.. I feel comfortable wearing it and i really love it. I paid $69.30 for a $99 super worth it man! =)

24-25 Dec

This Christmas is kinda different, maybe we are all grown up a little and our talks are quite mature and not those little kiddy talks we use to have in the past. A short meal at City Hall Cafe Cartel is what we have for my Christmas Eve dinner with friends this year. After which is just purely sitting down at Starbucks and talk about whatever stuff we have till 12.30 am! We wished each other Merry Christmas and went home together! A unique Christmas this year! Not bad at all! Each of them received presents from me! Haha.. And it really costs me a bomb! BOOOmmM!(That is what my bank a/c shouted to me). But so long as they like it, i dun mind.. Haha!

Light pink shirt from SPRINGFIELD which cost me like $30+ only.. Cheap and nice.. First time trying this style and it seems ok.. Haha.. More to come i hope.. =)

How can Christmas go without logcake and Christmas present! LOL! Love the season of giving! =)

17-21 Dec

On 17th Dec, I dragged myself up to go to school for 2008 JC/Poly Band Fest! I was pretty reluctant to go as it occupies my holiday for 5 days and i earned less money for that matter. However, it is compulsory to go as majority of them voted to go. The first day was kinda nervous as i am not sure which type of friend will i meet(suckers or good ones?). I was quite lucky that once i stepped into the band room and the period of seat allocation, a French Horn player name Corrine talked to me as if we were long lost friends. We hit it off quite fast and talk in general! I saw this girl carrying a Horn and i called her to join. She asked me"Which primary school are you from?" The 1st thing that came into my mind was she is my pri sch friend and i remember her. She is Evonne my pri 1-3 classmate. She is quite pretty now as compared to the past which is quite plump.. Oops! The world is so small! We had fun socialising and stuff the first day and subsequently we are close. We played lots of games that i think its fun and i never regret it. In the process of learning music, i made new friends and memories that will always be in my mind! Thanks everyone!

This Band Fest made me go crazy with my Horn.. Even when i reach home on Sat i practise till 9+ pm, which i have done it in my life before. I still love Band pieces, its really soothing! =)

Puccini Band Upper Brass Boys! Yeah!Before going in to the concert hall! Lets take a picture! =) My lovely section!

Honour Band rehearsing! OMG they are VERY GOOD! Seriously!

More pictures! My instructor Mr Yusri! He is the conductor for SAF Band.. WOW! And that is Corrine(2nd Horn) from PJC, Nigel(3rd Horn) from NYP and Yvonne aka pri sch mate(4th Horn) from NYP!

This guy, Derrick or Derek Tay from Queensway Band.. See, Singapore is so small.. He is in the same band(Puccini) as me for this band fest! Haha!

Yeap, i had lots of fun these 2 weeks and gained lots of working experience too, which is to endure even more! It's so sickening, ISETAN private sale day me and my colleage only sold 39 pairs compared to last yr's record 53 pairs.. My god! Anyway, 1 week plus i gtg back to sch already! SIAN!!

Ok, signing off now! Try my best to come back here to update again! Bye ppl! =) Happy 2009 =)

Hey ppl, I am back.. I took the plunge to blog at this hour as I still have the time to spare before i go and meet my sleeping god.. Haha.. Its just a short post, so let's begin..

This post is mainly on my new environment as a shoe promoter.. Remember I told ya that I was instructed to work in ISETAN SCOTTS? Haha.. The very first day, at 12.25pm, i reached the ITTI & OTTO counter.. I asked the assistant but she told me she is not WENWEN when i was told to look for her. So I immediately called my boss and he told me its ISETAN WISMA aka ISETAN ORCHARD.. So i walked at a fast pace to ISETAN WISMA and look for her.. Hmm, surprisingly, i could adapt to the environment quickly.. The staff over there are friendly especially the 'Guess' promoter.. WenWEn is also a very good person and she is very friendly, something like IVY(AndreValentino aka ex colleauge who takes care me wholeheartedly) and she made desert for me! We talk lots of things about the ppl working in the shoe industry and my past experience.

However, i can say i detest going to that place seriously. All I have to do is to STAND there like a fool, waiting for customer to come.. Even if there is 1-2,(Maximum 3 viewing the shoes), they will not buy and walk off once i have greeted them.. The worse thing is, THERE IS NO CROWD, or should i say, THAT PLACE IS LACKING MOBILE LADIES TO A LARGE EXTENT aka DESPERATELY! Actually, I have never been to that place in my life before, which answer my question on why is there not much ppl going to that place.. Cos that place is located at the corner where its hard to let the ppl to step into this ISENTAN.. Sigh.. My shoes dun go = My money dun come =(

Look at this place. I can just have BALLET DANCING over there and nobody will know.. Sigh... In the morning, after finish doing housekeeping, its only like 11am.. OH MY EFFIN GOD! Seriously.. The time pass very slowly.. I will just have to walk slowly and stand there like a statue.. Luckily, my mouth doesn't stop.. I will then go to the promoters and talk to KILL TIME. If not u will see me like a STONE! Haha..

Till today, I have only sold 4 or 5 pairs of shoes ONLY! I am like___, where most probably in Robinsons Raffles City I can sell like 15 pairs in 3 days without sale.. Its more than 1/2.. Oh god.. Also, they tested on my skills on how to converse to customers which i think its really redundant.. I mean that person can memorise from script and regergitate(sp), no meaning behind it.. ROBINSONS dun do this but has a higher ranking than Isetan in terms of service.. Sigh..

I WAN A TRANSFER BACK TO MY USUAL PLACE, WHICH IS ROBINSONS RAFFLES CITY, WHERE I HAVE NICE COLLEAUGES AND GOOD COMMISSION AND DUN NEED TO STAND.. I think i learn nothing at that place.. I dun serve, I AM not at all like last year when i strive for the BEST in whoever i serve.. I will CHIONG and produce my best result.. I certainly lost this force this time round.. =( I miss RONBINSONS!

The storerooms and the day when we did set up for the crazy sale.. Haha.. Today when loitering around my counter, the FUN experience(the 3 days of crazy sale) and some other memorable experience struck my mind suddenly.. I was actually smiling to myself about the good experience and the $ I have got for myself is really more than i expected..

Although I kept complaining, I will let this go.. I know I can't go back to that place again as I am not the boss.. All I can do is to do my best at that Isetan and learn something from that place.. I have requested that if Raffles needs ppl, please transfer me there and the boss agreed.. I also told my person-in-charge(last yr) and he told me not to worry, he will take care of me and will transfer me there(like a few days) if that place needs ppl.. I hope i can go there at least for 1-2 days.. I really miss those DAYS! ='(

Ok, i shall end here.. Wish me good luck in my working life this holiday ok? I will revise my work again cos i am having off this Sunday to Tuesday =)! See ya ppl!

Hey folks.. Here to update my blog once again.. Guess i will not be blogging often again as I start work tomorrow.. I have sense of nervousness and anxiety.. Dunno whether ISETAN SCOTTS will be a comfortable place for me to work.. I shall wait for the time being.. Sometimes I wonder why am I such a person that stick to the old job.. Maybe there isn't any 'lobang' for other jobs, or maybe I am someone who dun really look for jobs.. I really dunno.. Also, I dunno why i have the urge to work when i know that A levels is tough.. Sigh..

Whatever it is, I have promised the boss to work so i shall put my heart and soul to work as a promoter of Itti & Otto.. Haha.. Knowing the fact that I will have less time with my fellow classmates, we decided to go for an outing yesterday.. This place is full of smell, feeding scene, tourist and the wonderful performance by various organism..

Yeah, thats right.. Its ZOO! Met up with Marcus, Kenny, Yongxin, Cheryl, Yoke Hung, Jack and Kenneth early in the morning at AngMoKio to have our breakfast before taking 138 to the Singapore Zoological Garden around 9plus..

Once we stepped into the entrance, we were instructed to take a group picture.. Eventually I, together with Yong Jack and cheryl bought the small and low quality picture for $4.50 each.. But its nice and memorable..

After which, it marks the start of our ZOO outing, which we've been yearning for weeks.. Let's begin!Oops.. Oh NO!!! Look at this.. The accident occured 2 weeks ago when a worker went in to commit sucide.. Look at their sharp teeth, that man must be bitten by them painfully and die tragically.. ='(

Next up, Hippopotamus aka Gloria.. Haha.. They are really FAT!WildBoar and Kangaroo.. Look, look at the baboons.. Guess what are the doing.. I suppose this is the BEST and most EXCITING part throughout.. THE BABOONS are fighting.. A baboon seemed to want to fight with the 'king', and the king retaliated.. This created a CHAOS among the baboons and its very exciting.. U know what, that baboon was actually injured.. Sigh..

For recreational purposes, I dun need to state that name right.. (Cos come i dunno whats the name).. Haha.. Was able to capture this shot.. The Arowana(sp) jumped up and bite the fish off the rod.. Nice shot!=)[Below], Ah Meng? Nope, she is dead.. The are other Orang Utans.. Cheryl loves them and took a picture with them.. $5 is really worth it.

A very big alligator.. Turtles inside to 'accompony it'.. LOL! We are so cruel, hoping the turtle disturb the alligator and make it FLARE up.. But it didn't.. =X

Tortoise.. They have very long life span.. The oldest tortoise died at the age of 146 years old.. WOW! Oh, they are are very nice creatures.. I love them.. Do u know the Chinese says that they will bring good luck to your house? Haha..

Let's take 3.. Haha.. Oh this baboon is quite funny.. After taking photo(behind the glass) with it, it ran away and then BANG onto the metal divider, producing a 'BANG' sound.. LOL damn funny!

Went for lunch after that.. KFC is quite crowded but they are definitely earning big bucks.. After lunch, had some FUN activities.. But for one, its a bad experience..

Bice flying fox.. But then regrettable CHERYL fell off.. All thanks to ----.. We ran to help her out but i guess someone is FASTER than us.. LOL! U know right..

We ended our day at the Zoo with the POLAR BEAR show.. Its very nice but i think this bear has gone insane.. He have been walking the same route for more than 15 rounds ever since i stepped into that area.. Haha.. I tell u although i had FUN, but its VERY VERY TIRING! PHEW!

28-11-08

Met up with Cheryl Marcus and Kenny after sending Elis off.. It was a sudden meet up as one they have nothing else to do after that.. Met them for dinner.. Due to time constrain, I am only going to post 3 pictures only..

Thats all for the day.. Going out again.. See u guys asap =)
