Something to think about.. Virgin Blog..

Life's as usual.. the boring stuff, waking up.. and then preparing for work since it's my 1 week holiday after the mid semestral tests. And holy shit, i'm working 6 days out of 7 days this week!

Some interesting stuff happened while i was at work today.. There was this group of girls, who's working outside my shop, persuading people who's walking past them to try on their contact lenses. Apparently, they're working for ciba vision, they're holding a promotion fair outside my shop in parkway parade. I was kind of interested, as i was wearing contact lens myself too. Besides, the girls promoting the lenses was kind of, hmm.. i'll keep my comments to myself! Otherwise.. muahahhahaa

Alex, who's also a part timer in the shop, i've been working with him for a long time.. He's interested in one of the girls outside. AS USUAL! He's always interested in ANY GIRLS that's better than average looking and has a good figure! Guys! Just recommend him a stable girlfriend! He's flirtish! And he meets girls like, almost every night in the week in clubs and he drives a car too! Omg, he's currently studying in Temasek Polytechnic, year 1 :)

Okay, back to the contact lens girls blog, i asked alex,

"So what are they promoting? Free trial contact lenses ah? "

"Yeah, probably lor"

"So, is it daily disposable ones, weekly or monthly? It'll better be monthly ones!"

"Woah.. "

"Let's go approach them and find out! Bwhahaha, and go talk to the girls!"

And there, we're off! It was also the time for him to sign out, at 6pm, and coincidentally, i was having my break.. And when we approached the lone girl, who was standing at the counter..


"Eh.. you are offering free trial pack for contact lens rite? Is it daily ones or weekly ones?"

"Oh, its daily disposable ones! "

BanG!

Okay, from there, she promoted the contact lenses to us, and including the current colorblends contact lens promotion. I think she mentioned something about buying a box, that is their latest design for 45 bucks, and then she'll give another box, which is another design for free. Alex, who's always the cheongster, was interested in it.. As he's currently wearing a pair rite now.. For myself, i do wear contact lenses.. but not color ones.. I find it too expensive...

I proceeded to ask the girl..

" Hmmm, you work here part time rite?"

"Yeah"

"How much is your pay?"

"7.50 per hour"

"WoAH! That's a lot!! Omg... We're just paid 6.50 per hour and we have to do all these shit!"

"See the gal there? She's paid 9 bucks per hour! Because she's the optom..."

Both of us went.. '' .... "

She then proceeded to say, " And know what, she's still currently studying and working part time "

And then i guess, " Ah, it must be that optom course in nanyang poly... their starting pay is 3000!"

She corrected me and said it was Singapore Poly.

And there we go, breaking the ice, and asking around who's the person in charge, secretly, haha, and being the inquisitive me, i asked if there's any commission if she managed to sell anything.

" 1 dollar per box "

" Ah! No wonder! I see you gurls approaching people like crazy! So motivated and hardworking! Aiyoh... ! "

" You all very observant hor?"

".... Errr.. well.. you gurls are just in front of us mah.. "

" So how long till this promotion lasts? How long more will you all be here till?"

"Sunday's the last day.. but if you all wanna buy hor.. come on satuday.. cos i working wor.. "

"Eee.. you wanna get the commission rite.. hahahah "

"hahahahhaaa!"

At this moment, i saw the goldheart gal waving at me, then she hinted me with her hands to call alex, and i told alex about it. Suddenly alex started to move away, they're probably gonna go smoke together i guess.

" Ah, i'll see you next time lar, i gonna start work already.. got any freebies give us hor..! "

"Okay lor, hehe "

And there i was going back to work.. ah, work was busy today.. lots of stuff to do, and i was at the counter the whole day! Most of the time, sorting out the stacks, transferring the stock from the storeroom to the cabinets and replenishing most of the stuff to the shop shelves.. And tadah! I was satisfied, feeling accomplished! I managed to replenish most of the clothes to the shelves!

When i happened to be at the entrance of the shop replenishing clothes, things started happening with the contact lens girl again.

She asked what's the staff discount for giordano.. I said 30%.. but i quickly replied, " Sometimes we might have to give 20%.."

Ah, just in case the manager finds out.. haha.. they've been quite strict about giving staff discount to strangers you know?

Oh, we managed to pull the conversation by shouting across each other.. She also promised to give me some freebies! Yay!

Haha, i got a pouch, 2 packs of 3 tissue papers, a pair of contact lenses, daily ones, and 2 bottles of contact lens solution! omg! haha.. don't call me greedy! Those are supposed to be free you know?!

I later realise that most of the gurls working there are still schooling in polytechnics.. and the gal who gave me all these freebies skipped lessons today.. I found out her name was April when she came into the shop to try something on.. I gave her my staff discount on that

But Alex wasn't interested in this gal.. he's interested in another gal.. a darker one.. hehe.. I managed to speak to her when she was eating aunty annie!

oh! That Aunty Annie gave me 1 of her pretzels.. SHit.. i forgot her name.. I think her name was.. ah.. i can't remember! omg.. She asked me to collect it from her at 10pm :) Yay! It was nice! Nice nice nice!

Well, back to work.. Lots of stuff to do during closing time, can't really elaborate on that.. my wrists hurts from my virgin blog.. ah.. tired..

But i'm not really happy how ida spoke to me earlier on, she's the 2nd in charge. Yes, she cracks jokes and had fun with all of us, but the way she commanded me earlier, ah, i couldn't take it, she could've just spoken to me softly, Yes, i'm the gentle sort of person if you just ask me nicely :) I would gladly do it for you!

The tone she gave was, just strict and commanding? ANd how did i reply? Yes! The same way she spoke to me, i'm not sure whether she realised it or not, but everything's over already, and we still talk to each other and laugh about it.

Everything's all well in the shop.. i might be transferring to suntec.. as hinted by Benny Goh, he's my shop in charge..

I'm also looking forward to see my results of my mid semestral tests.. ahh.. my calculus.... i'm gonna fail it..

Ciaoz and see ya guys again! I'm so long winded!!!!!!!!!!!
