Trip To The Salon

They say that getting a haircut for a new look helps to elevate mood much better than buying a new pair of shoes.

But what if I not only got a haircut, I also got new hair colour with streaks and hair treatment. Plus... A new pair of shoes!

Feeling damn high!

Ohh ya, while at the salon getting my hair done, don't know what topic lead to another then the stylist was explaining why he highlighted my hair more on the inside then outside. The reason is because, he thinks I'm the si wen type, so doing highlights on the outside will look a bit loud on me. Whahahaa...

Met up with Meanie1 for dinner at the newly opened Vietnamese restaurant... The beef balls there are not bad. Like those found at Ikea without the sauce only. Anyway, we were damn mean lah. Eavesdropped another table that they don't accept card cause new restaurant, machine not ready yet. But we still purposely tried to pay with card and I still act damn disappointed that cannot use card.

Too bad the high mood was slightly dampened after I had a reality check at my account. Sighhh... I can't wait till end next month.

Therapy!!!

Having my off day tomorrow. But considering that the past few off days I had, I still had to wake up early and do stuff, its as good as not having any off days.

I miss sleeping late. Everyday the latest has been only till like 8-9am.

In fact, I simply miss sleeping. I sleep about an average of 4-6 hours each day.
That is way way way below the ideal sleeping duration.
Getting pandified damn badly. Thank goodness for concealer!

Being transferred to another location next month. New environment again! That means I must spend time remembering where they keep their stock and all that again. Although I know most of the prices and all that already, but sometimes brain will be blocked then can't recall. So just hope that colleagues there would not get too irritatted if I keep on asking them about the prices each time a customer enquires about products. Hee...

10 days of consecutive work is crazy! I need to keep myself sane!
Therapy!
I need retail therapy!!!

My very first pay (for a full time job) came in just yesterday. Whooooo!!!
But too bad, that's only my basic pay. Commission will be getting next month so I shall just bear with whatever I have.

Dinner was with Godma at Cartel. My treat. We were really full after that. Couldn't finish the pizza so decided to da bao back.

My therapy started already...
I couldn't help it... The things I bought are needs not wants.

Shoes! I need shoes!
Where are those nice shoes which look nice, are comfy and affordable?
I don't really wanna wear the shoes which I have for the cocktail party this saturday.
=(

Off Day!~

Finally my well deserved off day.

My legs are getting used to all the standing.
I don't understand how my colleagues can stand in those killer heels which are at least 2 inches!

Offically got my sales target figure on thursday. I can't even hit close to 50% at all!!! Second day was the same.
BAD! BAD! BAD!

Thankfully, had a few big buyers the next 2 day. Hit more over 100% but its still not enough to hit the cummulative target.
But compared to my colleagues, I'm such a damn noob!

Saw several celebrities, some look damn ugly off screen without make up. Hahaha... =x

Hee... Many friends came down to visit me. How nice. At least my social life doesn't become stagnant. Hahaha...

Food there is freaking ex lah. Imagine every meal ranges from 4-6 bucks! Wah liao...

Work Work Work

It has indeed been quite a while since I last blogged.

Working is tiring! Got tons of stuff to memorize. Haiyo... Got lots of things to learn. I've managed to do several sales, but then, the commission doesn't go to me. I still don't have my sales target cause still noob.

So basically, I'm still under training, so not obliged to serve customers unless the rest are busy. I'll just sit by the counter and read my file (as well as day dream and listen to the music which is played over and over and over again). Then my manager would test me.

Ohh ohh... I went for my first company's meeting on thursday. Never been to such meetings before, everything was so new to me. Evaluating sales figures against different locations, then individually blah blah blah. They had a cake to celebrate birthdays and the cake was so darn good! Chocolate cake with a layer of smooth chocolate. I didn't know they provide breakfast too.
They even gave all staff a goodie bag, consisting of 3 of our new products. 1 sample of exfoliator which is already 1/3 the original size, 1 eye cream which I think its full size. The best thing was the blusher compact which will retail at $65 come the summer collection. My trip is so worthwhile. Hahaha... I just had to sit there for 5 hours and its counted out of my working hours somemore!

Went to watch 'She's The Man' with SJ buds. Anyway the show was darn freaking funny. I need to relax after 3 days of work. Hahaha...

Today's actually my offday. But I had an event to make up for bride's maid and bride's relatives. I think the bride is actually around my age. She doesn't seem enthu to get married leh... I always thought brides wouldn't be able to sleep the night before. But I reached there at 6.45am and she was still nua-ing in bed. Anyway, because they dilly dally for half hour, I had to rush.
After doing makeup for 7 people, my back aches but my legs are fine with standing.

Ohh, this is the first time I'm actually in the bride's room when the groom wants to come and get her. So the bride's maid were like making him do all the silly stuff. Like sing song, say mushy stuff and all that. Its funnier to watch reality instead on the telly.

Not Working Yet

I was supposed to start work today. But it has been postponed till tomorrow. Reason? Cause I wore according to the normal days' dress code of all black instead of this month's code which was white top and jeans.

Actually its just because I was a muddle head and didn't clarify.
I was supposed to go down to the company for an orientation and I thought it would take the whole day. So HR told me to wear all black.

Manager said wear white and jeans but I didn't know I will go down to the counter today. So anyway, after signing some paperwork and stuff, the so called orientation only lasted about an hour.
Since its my fault, I told the manager that I'll go home and change then report to the counter. Lucky the manager was nice. She said never mind, no point travelling so much and tire myself out. I should go home have a good rest and start tomorrow.

Anyway, they gave me a lot of handouts and a thick file to read. Went down to the counter to meet the person who will train me and get my staff pass and all those stuff. Was handed another file to read and cd-rom to watch.
Aiyo... How to read all within this week?!?!!

Tomorrow is my official start. Hope I don't screw up. =)

Vandalism On My Whiteboard

My last day to shop. Didn't call anyone to go with me, I decided to have shopping at my own time, own pace. Anyway, I took a bus down to Queensway cause I wanted to buy jeans for my job which will require me to wear from tuesday onwards.

Shopping alone isn't all that bad. Anyway, I managed to get 2 pairs of jeans and before I knew it, its was time to head on home.

Ohh on my way back, this belt caught my eye. Well... Actually I saw it in another shop in Marina Square but I didn't buy. Anyway, its cheaper here so I bought it. Wahahaa... Can wear on tuesday.

When I came back, I noticed that my room door was closed. Obviously someone went into my room and turned on the air con. Put my bag down and looked up at the whiteboard. Wahh liao...
It has been vandalized!!!
By who? By smelly Joe and silly Shnappi.


Moron lah... My teeth doesn't have that much gaps! Neither is my mouth rectangularish.
But their's reminds me of a banana.

If...
jessica = Braces
shnapp= Banana
joe = Magnet of vacuum
Vacuum = suck
Then...
joe = Sucker??

Haiyo... So silly lah.

By the way, what were you guys doing in my room that need to flip my bed???
Tsk tsk tsk...

Deprived Childhood??

Had a family gathering at Merchant Court this afternoon. I must say, the food there is rather good. Its a buffet so there's lots of good food items to name.
Guess there won't be another family gathering for the next few months already. Even if there is, I don't know if my schedule will hold me back or not. Hope not though.

Went back to the PC roadshow to buy the desktop. The main point of going down again was to use the credit card and get a $50 voucher. But then, it was while stocks last and it didn't last.
Ordered the desktop and left the freaking hot hall which was overcrowded with people.

Anyway, the whole area was just filled with people. After shopping for a while, it was time to leave.

Met Vid for dinner. Cf came to join shortly after that.
Haiyo... Because of the 'Vitasoy' drink, Vid kept saying I've got a deprived childhood cause I've never tried that brand of drink before.
One thing led to another, and we were talking about our primary school where they had this scheme for kids to have their recess laid out on the table each day. I was never on that scheme because I wasn't attracted to whatever they had. I do recall some of the items in the list were stuff like congee, kway chap, mee siam, laksa and char siew rice. All of which, I don't like or never tried.
Congee = Gooey bowl of white stuff. Only to be consumed when I'm sick.
Kway chap = Weird bowl of blackish soup and white pieces of stuff floating around.
Mee siam = Hot hot hot stuff. (I wasn't able to take spicy stuff last time)
Laksa = Same as above.
Char siew rice = Weird reddish meat (exterior colouring) with white inside on top of plain rice.

But I don't recall how I spent each recess though. I don't have any impression if anyone came to bring me food or not. I only know I call home rather often cause I forgot to bring my workbook (ehh... or was that in Pri. 3 where I had to pack my own bag?) then I'll end up getting scolded. Haahaa...

Actually I can only recall a bit of my Pri. 1 days. One of which was during ting xie, I was sitting next to this boy who I don't know why, decided to take my scissors. Tried to get it back and he went to open the scissors and somehow my finger ended up being sliced.
Then I let go of the scissors and we just sat there for a split second and were like 'Ohh no! What just happened?'
Had to assure him that it was nothing then suddenly my book was bloody. He started freaking out when he saw the blood. (There I was with a finger dripping blood, and still had to calm him down.) I kept telling him not to tell the teacher cause he may end up getting a scolding (wahh liao.. I was still so nice to someone who cut me!) but then the teacher saw us talking and came over and saw the bloody page. I was sent down to get the cut bandaged up. Don't know if he got a scolding after that or not, but he was damn apologetic after that.
That led me to realised that going down to get wound bandaged was a good way of skipping class eh?

So during PE lesson, I would fall down, get my knees scraped on the sandy part of the field. Then I'll limp away to get wound cleaned and bandaged. Then I'll say its too pain to walk up the stairs so I needed to rest for a while more.
Ohh... But that is of course if I had lessons after PE lah. If PE was the last lesson, I seem to never get injured unless its truly accidental. Wahahahaa...

My Change

I set aside today as shopping day before I meet up with Hj & Yl for dinner. Didn't really plan to ask anyone to shop with me, cause I needed the time to find nice white shirts.

Ym asked me out for lunch together with Cf & Von. Yh conveniently flagged down any bus which came along and ended up near my place. So she joined us for lunch. While there was a huge break in between her next tuition, she accompanied me to shop.

Haiyo... For so many years I don't wear white tops. Now, all of a sudden, I have to make up for the lost time. I bought 4 white shirts today. Ohh... A white bag as well.

Sat down at Carl's Jr and I dropped the fries on myself. The oil stain was darn obvious. Went to wash and dry. Still there. Washed and dry again, still cannot. So I changed to one of my newly bought tops and went to meet Hj & Yl.

Yh brought my shopping stuff back to my place. (Thanks babe!)
I was free to walk around.

Anyway, Yl couldn't see me even though I was standing like less than 10 metres away from her because she was looking for someone wearing more casual. My that white top was quite formal lah.. Hahaha..
My change of top surprised even my good pals.
Even Xl, who came to meet us after her work, just walked past me. Hee hee....

3rd Driving

The car in front of me kept driving damn driving fast, then suddenly slow down. I didn't hit lah, but then instructor kept on saying that I was stopping too close. Then I have to wait wait and wait. Initially was quite pek cek. Waste my 100mins. So I wanted to overtake.

Whee... I've finally drove outside the circuit!
Onto small roads away from major traffic.

I went up to 5th gear. *Ahem* But that was by accident. I was supposed to go 3rd gear but I wasn't used to the gears. Shifted too far right and tadah 5th gear.

Anyway, after that, I went to the PC roadshow at Suntec. Met Xl for lunch; if not poor her must eat sandwich alone. She went back to work and I wandered around the hall. The place was quite packed. Its only the first day, during office hours somemore. I can't imagine how it would be this saturday, sunday would probably be worst.

I think I cleared the hall within an hour. There wasn't much gadgets I wanted to buy.
Went to Dell to look for desktop. Asking a lot of questions. Then finally went to look for Xl and kept on standing there and talking to her. Lucky she was doing redemption and not sales. If not I'll be bored to death just waiting for time to pass.

Supposed to meet Joe & Yh at Little India for dinner. We were going for vegetarian buffet. The food was rather good. Papadums were free flow (I think I'm gonna have a sore throat). There was this cube potatoes which was damn nice! Yellow rice with the curry was delicious. The mango dessert with apples were good. There were other stuff too, but those items were the ones I kept going back for more.
