Let's talk about yesterday before spamming you with food pictures...
Yesterday was the celebration of Jerome and Yong Soon 21th birthday...
They treat us to a Japanese buffet restaurant in Novena, Velocity there....
It's at the highest level of the building.. Can't remember the name though...

Rui Feng, Guang Liang, Twins, Jieying, Julia, Xiu Yu, Xin yi, Felicia, WanYi...
And what else, 3 new botak!
Ok let's move on to the food...

Actually not too bad, just that too much of fried stuff....
Choices of food wasn't too much also...
The girls actually wanted to get a cake for them....
And went down to buy it halfway through...
When they came up, it's like we heard that the 2 main character already prepared cake...
Actually, it's cakeS!!
In the end they were to take their cake home...
And use the cake that we bought...
Ok, group photos...

After we finish the food and celebration, it's about 10pm...
Few left and the others planned on where to go next....
and we went to the mcdonald at Ang Mo Kio...
But it's full, so we walked to another one which is futher away....
Chatted there til around 12.30am before we left...
We did bought something so it's not like we are staying to take up spaces ok

That's all for now...
jya~

It will continue...
Long time since i last blogged....
And here with a very short post..
And i do mean very short...
YeS!!! I made it!!
That's all...
-The dance stopped at 10:13 PM
It will continue...
Work is finally over!!
So working at IT fair is not as simple as it seems...
Protection your voice is a MUST!!
Having enough of water and sweet is actually quite important these few days...
Certainly lots of talking needs to be done...
Lots of wasted talk too!
Talk about Saturday...
A customer came in before the fair started..( i dunno how she came in)
She approach me and ask me about a laptop..
Told her the information that she needs to know and she went off with my name...
And then after that we started on our work briefing... lol...
So meaning work started early? haha...
And i wonder how long later she came back to me..
And actually bought the laptop from me!!
That's my first sales for Saturday...
Close another one at the 2nd hour of the fair...
After that, it's a long long wait...
6 hours of useless talking and lots of empty promises made by customers...
I am starting to get used to that....
Managed to close a deal at the last 15mins before the show ends....
Was an indian buying an IMac....
He was deciding to get it on sunday initially...
But change his mind at the last minute... phew~
Who knows if he will come back if he go off....
Something worth mentioning is that mel sold 3 lappy + 1ipod touch that day...
cheers!
Sunday was a little demotivating day...
About 3 hours after the show and not a single deal...
Mel already manage to close a laptop with apple care!!
So i decided to move on the the ipod section instead...
After some time manage to close an ipod touch....
And about an hour later another touch...
Luck started to pick up when i mange to close 2 more laptop deal...
Weird thing was that i was standing at the laptop section, i got an itouch deal...
I stand at the ipod section, i sold a laptop!
Quite an amazing day... Manage to close one more before going for dinner...
And so before dinner, got 2 itouch and 2 laptop deal...
Better luck after dinner... A customer was deciding between other brand and apple...
Talk to him alot about the good point of apple...
He went to toshiba booth opposite after that and came back to me!
Feeling was like YES!! haha...
So they decided to get the laptop already...
At that time i was told that a customer came back looking for me...
Woo! Asked mel to help me finishing closing that deal before going on to the other customer...
Thanks mel!
After closing that deal, the previous customer that mel helped me ask me if they can buy 1 more..
I was like of course!! Wrote down what they want and they ask me to stop...
Saying that they take a walk 1st...
And another couple came and ask some question and decided to get an IMac...
I give that deal to mel, but. . . . they suddenly went off saying thank you while writing down the particular... Seriously i dunno why...
And the previous one did not come back as well >.<
So in the end is 4 laptop and 3 ipod touch!
And that marks the end of the IT fair!
Overall quite a new experience...
Working hard to get more money~
A new experience... haha...
But leg aching and losing voice is the price...

It will continue...
Ok let's talk about thursday before anything else...
It's the start of the IT show day.. And me and mel are working there....
Meet her and her cousin's + friend at suntec level 1 before going up...
We are working on level 6...
Change into our orange tee, put on our
PACIFIC CITY badge and lanyard and ready to work...
Had the briefing at 11am before we start...
And at 12, it's time to battle....
Working at a place will certainly get to know a few more people...
Did talk to a few people, but mostly i dunno their name =x
It's my first time working in IT fair,
So now i know that working there can be so thirsty!!
Talk alot to customers and hoping they will buy...
Some did while many said they will consider...(mostly is no hope)
People were comparing us with 2 other company who were selling apple mac ipod etc...
They are epicenter and nubox... (epicenter damn big)
So our aim is to sell more laptop and earn more commission...
Clinching a deal wasn't as easy as i thought...
You not only need the skill to talk well, you also need to have lotsa luck....
Mainly i think luck is still the most important factor.... (lost a nano deal because of that)
At the end of the day, manage to clinch 3 deals...
While sadly mel got nothing...
Well, don't give up! There is still sat and sun!
End of the day, i feel that this job will be you thirsty and leg ache...
Let's go on to friday~
Not working today as sending our dear KS into army( 3 months more and it'll be me
)
So meet at KS house before leaving together with his family to pasir ris...
Reach there at around 9.15...
Took the stupid shuttle which seems like non-aircon to take the boat to tekong island
Enlistee are to tuck in their shirt O.o
Next took the boat ride to tekong...
Reach and spilt with ks soon after that...
Had a short bus tour about the place and move on...
After that, got off the bus and tour a few more places before proceeding... ( the bunk, swimming pool, parade square etc)
We were brought to an LT and had a presentation on things that are issued to the enlistee...
And later on we were bought to the canteen to wait to go on to the auditorium...
Enlistee and everyone else will be there(different sitting place)..
Video, Talk by commander, Oath taking by enlistee, national anthem and finally~
The last lunch! Where the rest have their lunch before biding farewell to the enlistee...
The canteen...
After lunch, enlistee fall in at parade square before moving away...
And look at our dear ks there~ lol...
One last look before leaving! (Beautiful on the outside, inside ??? )
Taken on the boat...(sat at 2nd level, outside)
Something to mention...
Pull up bars are everywhere in the island
There is no way that you can't get to train.. lol
That's all for now...

Today is a tiring day~
Woke up at 8am in the morning...
Got work brief at IMM at 11am!!
That's so far away~
So have to wake early to prepare...
Took 74 to school(NP) and change 52...
Reach IMM at around 10am+
Bought something to eat before everything...
Bought 肉棕 to eat as i ate before.. Not bad...
But today, the 肉棕 is not 'open'... I have to open it myself!
Worst of all, it's not heated... Cold!!
Stupid @ never do anything...
Before Mel arrive, i went to check out the place we had to go to...
After she arrived, we went straight to the place...
Waited til about 11.10am before the shop is open...
Briefing started after all the people attending arrived..
The training talks about information about MacBook, MacBook Pro, IMac...
About the operating system, how is it different from window,
how is it better than window, functions of mac etc etc....
The more he explain, the more me and mel wanted to get one!!!
well, mac is certainly more expensive than windows laptop,
Specs might not be that great with that price,
But it's really really good...
Well, you won't know unless you see it yourself...
After all the demo, we were like
i want~
Anyway, this IT fair work (oh did i mention it's for working at IT fair?) is commission based..
Because the basic pay is not much...
So anyone wanting to buy apple product during this IT fair please come look for me
Don't expect discount though...
Because apple products are standard pricing...
After briefing, parted with Mel and went to Clarke Quay find jieying and gang...
It's her birthday celebration day!
So rush down straight...
Reach there at around 2pm and eat(buffet lunch... End at 2.30.. LOL)
After that walk to Dhoby Station... (Don't ask me why, someone suggested it)
It's damn far when walking while they are just one station apart...
Maybe we walked the wrong way...
And went to the building beside Plaza Sing to play pool...
Play and after that went to the Hong Kong cafe to have dinner...
Bought a cake for jieying too!
Below are the food pictures again!
Black Pepper Chicken Chop with rice
Fish Fillet with rice... (and my drink!)
Rui Feng with his cucumber~
well, the food~ so so...
After that went arcade to waste time... lol...
Watch the new street fighter game which like everyone is watching...
What's great about that is people there are all pro!
Nice to see those combo and stuff...
And the fun part is you don't really challenge the same people...
As the opponent are quite random instead of the person just next to you...
Wonder how they did that...
Watch for quite a long time before heading home~

Well, you don't usually see town at this view right?
We're taller than CentrePoint
After that went in to check out what's in there...
