Its FINALLY over~ ^^
I'm so glad I persevere till de end...
hahas.. so happy tt yst when I promote to clear de last stock of peanut cookies..
first attempt sold it=) YaY!~ I muz hav become more eloquent.. lols.. mayb nt...
These few days it has been an eye-opener to me...
Really... I realise in this world gt lots of diff walks of ppl...
I really dun like some irritatin aunties & a particular uncle...
Got this irritatin aunty walked towards me, & kept on harping, "Green peas cookies v dry leh" for 5 mins+ then I kept on "No.. its nt, try it urself", then she said ," No, I dun wan to try.. Its dry.." & this hassle continue for a long time, she chases away so many customers... Grrrr....!~
& In the END, guess what she said???
She said," I didnt buy frm U guys de"...
I feel damn irritated.. If she wan complain, shouldn she complain to de one she bought frm..????
Irritating... chasin away customers...
What's the world becomin into?
Another case... 3 irritating aunties walked past & tasted.. & they said they homemade better than this.. & they even ask me to ask them to be their suppliers.. Of course, I didnt ask..
Then they gave disgusted looks & carried on degradin pineapple tarts in front of numerous customers.. KNS.. oops.. wasnt supposed to say this..
AH!!! They chased away customers...
& Seriously, my aunt's bakery handmade pineapple tarts are NICE to me....
If nt, ppl wun buy, right? =)
I was wonderin... If they are so capable & their tarts are really superb, why dun they open their own bakery shop... If they are so superb, they should be able to convince ppl to invest wit them.. They are Damn irritating...
They are really the typical kind of "Aunties"... Grrr...!
Too much cases... =X Hate to smile when ppl are irritating u & even more when my legs are hurting with it..
I really believed I got higher level of tolerance..
Good Training... lols =)
Now I look at the world at a bigger picture..
Not everyone is a kind soul...
& I am glad so far the majority ppl I met are kind souls...
Got this kind lady bought cookies frm our kiosk & gave to the performers frm china, who are performing at J8... She is really kind... =)
Overall, with these few days.. I am glad tt I think my tolerance level increases wit endurance level... hahas.. aft all, its long workin hours...
Now, aft cny, most prob help last aunt wit website & aft tt, go find new job..+ retake btt on 25Feb... So envy sh & wz can drive now... Sigh.. Blame on my itchy hands...
MY HAPPY WORK EXPERIENCEI am glad to know 2 frenz when helpin out at J8 kiosk..
There is this girl frm NJ called Jia Min.. quite tall.. Cheerful & sociable... Thank goodness she's thr... if nt it will b boring for me to promote...
Always joke ard =) even neighbourin promoters love to hav her ard..
I am nt tt sociable to neighbourin promoters though.. but I got smile & greet =)
We will talk abt some irritating customers & stuffs...
& Another is a mother for 3 kids frm malaysia.. she seriously dun look like 30yrs old..
Thot she was 22-25 years old... gosh.. hahas... we called her Ah Zhi =)
Sociable too =) Its been a valuable experience to me~
At least for now, I can talk to strangers.. hm.. sounds wrong.. hahas..
But it felt great when thoses I talked to buy the products..
Job is tiring but there is an air of self-fulfilment to me when products are sold..
hahas.. =) will keep this memory in my heart..
I wonder when will I return to bishan agn..
Pardon me.. hahas.. once again, photo ruined by me.. sry abt tt..
Once again, An unfamiliar place becoming familiar to me...
Same goes for clementi & jurong west area.. =)
