Working life is a routine

Everyday i go to work just like a daily routine in my life. This kind of life is so stagnant & robotic. Now i know why my working friends will say "ok lo" when i asked them "Hey! How is your day today?" I don't think there's anything exciting i can write about because working life is so dead. The only thing i can say about is what incident had occurred on the way, during or after work.

My day at work today is pretty good. It's like the wheel of feng sui or luck has changed for me. It was horrid on the 1st day of my roadshow in low yat. I preferred my previous roadshow in digital mall because its easier to handle customers there & pull off a sale.

In low yat the customers there are a helluva troublesome & dumb people. Some are shallow in wireless technology but acted like snobs. But some are nice & polite. The people i came across there have a motley of characteristics.

During my 1st day in low yat my luck was totally down. I cant get customers to be convinced of the product. They practically just want information about what is izzinet. I blah blah blah all the facts & later they just say i will think about it & chao...Man...You wasted my effort. I know they are interested to find out what is 4G but i really hate wasting time on those customers i know they won't buy. That is why targeting for potential customers & giving them confidence to the product is an essential part to close the sale. I don't get a hands on learning experience in uni about how to communicate with people using the effective way but i do learn this in my marketing syllabus. I'm glad i got this job because im learning some marketing skills & gaining experience for my future use. In order to learn one must experience it. To me, my learning process is experience, don't know something ask, then only i will learn. When i ask the things i don't know i immediately get the answer for my doubts instead of waiting for people to teach me or reach the point to my doubts. That is why i always ask a lot of questions when i am still a greenhorn in things i don't know. Books are just dead.

The atmosphere in low yat is hectic & loud music are blasted. Poor throat have to suffer & eventually i had a lil sore throat. But at least there is music to lighten up the intensity & it sort of felt like a mini Club. Hahaha...Except for the fact that it is bright. Haha...There's this old uncle kept saying how good his maxis broadband is & he just cant understand the benefit in terms of pricing compare to his "Maxis". So good then you sao pei la. We are offering you 4G at a cheaper price now though it is not for handphone yet. He kept saying izzinet cant be used for phone so his maxis is so much better. Oh ya...He said why must use this "stupid" device to get connected. His maxis just use sim card. AIYAA...wait till izzinet is upgraded & more established see whether he still can brag about his Maaaxisssss or not. Izzinet no need sim card la old fart! So good geh wa it won't change to EDGE or even GPRS speed in certain areas la.Aiyooo...That uncle is damn troublesome man. But he is not a rotting old fart coz he uses 3G and his handphone is 3G enable. Not bad huh. Whaaateverrrrrr~

Today is a brighter day as i expected. I adapted to the situation there & everything is so much better. Though i had to stand from 11-9 but today i don't feel the hassle of standing all the time. Perhaps its because i was busying around with things to do instead of Stoning at a particular spot. My spirits was lifted when my previous customer came back to buy. This was my 1st sale on the second day. My fatty colleague who is so "semangated" in serving them & he did not know they are my previous customer. So when they agreed to buy he was so happy that he flashed the Peace sign. I giggled and then my friend went over & told him that they were my customer. Actually i don't care about the sales but everyone has to sell at least 2 izzinet a day. So i had to accomplish that target. My other colleagues are so "semangated" to chase for customers so that they can earn a lot of commision. I don't even care a heck about that. If im able to close the sale i will try my best, if not i will just chill. They are too enthusiatic that i just don't even wanna bother about them.

My god...That fatty's voice is so annoying. He talk so loud tim so i also teng hmm soon his loud speaker. But he offered to send me to the bus stop where i wait for the bus back home. So anyway, i don't bear any grudges against him. I just do my part, "act dunno, don't care, don't bother" his character during work. I hated him on the first day coz he is so fake! I served a customer that i didn't know he came yesterday. That fatty noticed him and asked " Hey sir...Did u came yesterday? " WHO WAS THE ONE WHO SERVED YOU?" The customer said yes & i dunno. So i continued to explain stuff to the man and later on the fatty asked again " Err sir...You wore a blue color formal shirt & you came with your friend rite???" Then the customer said yes & he just wanna let our team leader know that it was his customer. I don't even care la. I was so pissed at that fatty coz if it is his customer then be a man just say it nicely. But hey...if it was his customer he would have remembered his looks & won't asked "who served you yesterday?!" Come on la...No need to be so fake to use the customer to hint me. Stiwpid FATTY!!! Anyway...the man did not buy. Wahaha~

This fatty ah ask me why i so shy don't dare to speak out while working. He reckon that he feels i am afraid of him. MA ASS!!! What the HeEeLL?! The fact is I don't wanna talk to him, see his yong sui face, hear is frog croak voice or know him better. How can i possibly be scared of him?...Fat ass! I seriously detest losers like him & hyprocrites.

The second sales i made was a simple task. I spotted this man who was looking at the brochure
looking at it very attentively at the corner of the booth alone. My instincts told me he
will buy it.
So i went over to him & elaborate more on his queries. This uncle ah I like his style. He will listen to me 1st & ask about his doubts when i stopped. Very steady person & everything i said he just replied me ok
& gives me a positive ok nod. After all the okays he said his last ok..."OK! Give me this one." This is my best customer so far. I like!! He has a very manly personality & the type of modern uncle. Hope all uncles will learn from him. Hahaha... Uncle Tan!...You ROCK!!!


Going to work now is getting better for me coz i have adapted to the new environment there. Customers there will survey first so i have to take on a different approach. Those who really went back to consider & are interested indeed came back to buy. So its good i can adapt to something new fast coz "for things to change we must change first".

So now work is progressing but 1 last thing i hate about is. . . . . . . .


Taking the DAMN RAPID KL to & fro work. Yikes...HELL!!! I hate it to the MAX during night time. I seriously feel like slapping those "selamber" bus drivers who lovesss to ROT at the station & only bear to move when they feel like. They are wasting time, cause trouble to people & making the bus freeaaakinnn pack! Shit them! Some people do not get to hop on the bus at their location coz the bus is already like a sardine can when it reaches their waiting destination. So poor thing for them coz the next bus will be like waiting to go to space & there might not be any more buses. If i can't hop on the bus i seriously GG big time! How to go back??? Taxi? Siao! It will cost me freakin 40 bucks i think. Hahaha...I Laugh! So scary take cab at night alone.


Haizzz. . . . . .Sienzzzz. . . . . Whole day stand already in the bus have to stand & wait for bus oso have to stand. This is when "If only i have a car" comes to my mind. I always thought of getting a new car whenever i walk pass this second hand car dealer shop. I always thought of getting their second hand BMW! Wahaha~ Wonder how much is it. Hmmm...Maybe i will go & check it out when i walk pass there tomorrow. Hahaha...


Alrighty...I have to hit the sack now. So blurry now. Ha-ha...Signing out! BB.
