***E Brighter Side!***-

Wednesday, January 07, 2009*

i'm sitting at infront of the lappie... at 2am plus when by right i should be asleep... i feel totally wrecked... all started by the money issue. i feel as though i'm drained, drained of tons of my energy this past period when i was working... and now to know i will not get a single cent in return. partially because of my fault. i backed out of the agreement i signed. i'm very exhausted, can't take more of the 12hr working hours... totally dreadful, crappy, look crappier as well... hardly any personal time at all. i feel as though working this job is very redundant even thought there are many things i have learnt from working as a sampler - not as simple as it sounds ok!*.

the good side of working as a honey sampler ( or whateva u call it - is i am made to approach ppl/ potential customers continuously... and almost kinda forced myself o up my EQ, till the extend when i'm feeling totally crapped up still got to push myself to be polite to ppl, even when i'm uber tired and don't feel at all like it. i've learnt to try to endure, to stand for loong hours, slowly learning tactics to not feel aching etc. standing at tampines interchange i was sweating throughout the whole time already... so... working like that without running is already a tiring workout already. i realize by now why i see people ushering or working standing like to put their one or 2 hands behind their back is not just look more composed but also it helps to lessen the shoulder ache when one stands too long. through this job, i got to meet nice work people as well.

the downside of this job is 12HRS!!! before i worked this job, when i 1st heard about the timing for this job i was kinda thinking who the heck works 12hrs everyday?!! i thought it was totally insane, now i still think it is quite so, just.. maybe lesser. i got to do cleaning job when they did not tell me previously that i had to do these kinda things and i saw a cockkroach running out when i did the wiping of floor at one corner today. don't they have the freaggin hands to even wash their own cups?? they are perm workers, and they don't hire the part-time workers... still we are treated like their maids.

the other crappy part of doing this kinda work is that i get to see the so-called lame or even uglier side of singaporeans. people can be so rude when i already asked my kindest tone, gesture if he/she wants to try a sample, they just walk past slowly without replying, as if i'm some ghost in Ghost Whisperer show. another lame but abit amusing sight is that i see MANY people using handphone as an escape to avoid our requests. when they see samplers* approaching they just swipe out their handphone and call someone. it happens so many times till i know its not a coincidence that they just really needed to use the phone at that time. to me it all seemed ridiculous lol. its funny though haha... its really easy to see a person's character if its to the good to bad side when you approach to a person when working my kinda job. the good ones will smile widely and say thank you. the normal ones will just smile and look away, they'll nod when i say thank you at the end. the bad ones will just walk past, frown at you. the worse ones will shrug you off saying ,' bu yao bu yao!', or ' don't want, don't want', impolitely. but it gets frustrating when people turn a deaf year even when i approached then and asked then loudly politely. haiz...

i just feel it is a nice job, but its too long a job. its only suitable for people who need cash to get by without better solutions or workaholics.

i'll just till here today... still got tons to type the next post.. maybe..

life's full of uncertainty. the only certainty i get is from God. thank you God, thank you for your blessings.

had fun at1:59 AM
