HAIRY outing....





me n my dearie got nothing better to do...soooo.........we took pictures!! haha....just dyed my hair at the kimage academy today. Colour= light copper blonde. Though it's nice in some sort of way, i dont like it as much as my previous hair colour, which is like dark brown with a copperish tint. Sigh.....i guess i just have to make do with my new hair. Went to cut at kimage professional at funan....hated the girl who served me....so unprofessional. Me asked for layers, she says that my hair is already very layered and that i shouldnt layer anymore, layer more will result in "pong pong" hairstyle. Wah piangzzzzzz.....her skill not up to it lo. Then she say if i wanna layer i should REBOND my hair so that at least it stays flat. I told her i REBONDED already. Then i said that my hair feels really heavy so i need it to become lighter.....then she ai mai ai mai lidat layer my hair in a super hurried and chin chai way.....made me so pissed that i couldnt smile at all. Sianzzzzzzzzz.......

Luckily for me my hair turned out to be alright....a little "pong" on the top but overall still ok. But then again i find her service and attitude so unprofessional. My normal hairstylist Cecilia at PS kimage can do whatever i want and she would give me input. This girl at funan just said that "then you shouldnt cut at all lo....unless u wanna rebond". Piangz....F*** la.....if this is the kinda service i get for the money i paid....i would rather pay $42 to go back to Cecilia. Luckily i paid only like $15 for the haircut. Colouring job at kimage academy was good!! Took about 2 hours in all but the results are nice!! Kinda like my colour but it doesnt seem to suit my skin colour lehz.....all in all the colour job cost me only $27...so total only $42 spent in all...equivalent to a haircut by Cecilia...haha. But i would NEVER go back to that damn girl at kimage funan man. I booked an appointment with erwin and in the end it turned out to be her serving me. I didnt wanna ask for erwin at that point because i dont wanna embarass her lo.....the least she could do is to treat me better. Sucks la............good thing my hair wasn't destroyed in her hands.

The kimage academy girl was really nice...kept asking whether the colour stings my scalp and whether the colour is bright enuff or not. She also tolerated my ficklemindedness...hahaha....i changed colour like THREE times!! From copper....to red....to copper blonde....cos i figured that if i dyed red my mum wouldnt like it so i opted for copper instead....but then again....it turned out so BRIGHT!!!! I bet my mum would scream when she sees it....hahahaha..........i think it was money well spent though....allow me to save money for my rebonding or perming job....which i havent really decided on....

my pretty little bandeau...

MY dearie bought me a pretty little white coloured bandeau with pink prints on it.....really sweet looking and it's really comfy too! Love it to bits!!

Always feel guilty whenever he spends on me while he doesnt spend on himself....but then again....i feel very pampered and adored whenever i receive something from him. But seriously, i do hope that he can save up the $$ for himself instead of splurging on me.........haha...kinda rid me of my guiltiness....

seriously getting bored...
Life's perked up at bedok watsons....with the entry of this new garnier promoter who's super talkative and entertaining...so time has been passing pretty fast. Even today...i didnt even know it was break time and before i knew it...it was time to end work. Great! Hopefully this lasts...cos she's about to be shipped off to the watsons at parkway....leaving me alone again :(

Oh well....but sales has been going downhill. I had an average of 17-18 boxes a day...with my lowest record to be 15 boxes a day. But today, i only sold 13, and yesterday, only 14. Sigh....i guess i would be fired really soon.......but somehow...that's supposed to be what i want cos im kinda sick of working already.....especially promoting the item when i already have had like two complaints saying that the dye didnt work on them. I feel so guilty for recommending it to them....but then again...it worked for another friend of mine!!!!! How was i to know that it wouldnt work for them? Though i feel really bad about that.....i dont think anyone expected it to happen. And this did MAJOR damage to my confidence. I no longer feel like i can get what i want out of the job....no longer think that i can push the product as long as i want to do it.....and no longer feel that i can sell more products. Sighhh.....and i do kinda wish that i might get fired so i can play more vball......spend more time with my dearie....spend more time with my besties.. :(. Havent seen kris in awhile.....mabel too....karen too....and eileen's back .......oh...and jared....and rubin...........wished i could meet up with them more often.........

I do need more time to spend with my loved ones too.......work's ending on 15 july....after that hall camp's starting and ends on the day before school. Sigh...this really sux cos it leaves me no time to spend with my besties...family...and my dear bearie. He's going on IA really soon too......wont be seeing him too often from them on cos it will last half a year...........

Though i kinda wish i could be fired......i dont like the feeling of being fired....and i dont like the feeling of having sucky sales....when i know i could do MUCH better. Oh well, maybe i can't....cos there hasnt really been any crowd these few days...and that really contributed to my poor sales......

Well..just feel like playing vball.......cos it's finally FUN after two years of sucky vball. At least i kinda enjoy it now..............unlike the past.

I want more time...................but how do i get it?

Work report....
Going into my third week at bedok central watsons......sales has been pretty good so far...hitting at least 15 boxes each day. Yesterday, 5 people got axed cos their sales werent satisfactory....kinda sad i would say....luckily im not one of them. I would be kinda glad if i were terminated cos im feeling sick of this job. Endless smiling and trying to please people so that they would buy stuff from you is really not my cup of tea. I wanna be moody.....emotional....along with whatever mood i feel like having....hate being this plasticky thing that doesnt seem to have any other feelings other than being happy. Yuck.

OH well....at least sales are good....that means i get more commission! Yay!!! More money in the pocket...more $$ to spend.........hopefully.

Went to my cousin's wedding yesterday at Grand Hyatt hotel. Before the wedding dinner....everything was great. The bengawan solo voucher....the invitation to this posh grand hyatt hotel was a surprise to me. Till the day itself................................................

Got to grand hyatt hotel....walked through this narrow alley before we reached the ballroom....had a feeling it was kinda small....and it was.

While walking to the ballroom...didnt see many people around...had a feeling it's kinda quiet.........and it was.

Reached the ballroom, didnt see many people around there either.....had a feeling it's not going to be too good........and it was.

Finally, they let us enter the ballroom. Initially they decided to hold back on entry cos they didnt wanna make the ballroom seem empty......sigh. When we entered, there were 14 tables....small ballroom. It was nicely decorated...look really pretty and posh...but there seem to be something missing. There wasnt much noise or banter in the place unlike the usual chinese wedding dinners.....start of a disaster...........

Everyone was seated already...and yet i was wondering why the ballroom's so empty.....turned out that alot of people didnt manage to make it. They gave some stupid excuse saying that it's a weekday so alot of people cannot make it. Crap......what kinda excuse is this??? If people sincerely wanted to come...they would.....really.....

I waited....and i waited.....and waited....finally.....we get to see the bride and groom! They entered....with little applause from the guests...who werent sporting at all! They were supposed to throw flower petals at the bride but no one except for one table did....anticlimax. And they entered almost in silence...no cheers....minimal applause.......im beginning to feel sick....

They stepped on the stage...everyone was silent...and it looked like everything was done just for the photographer to take pictures. They posed and smiled and cut the wedding cake for the photographer....then...they were left awkwardly standing on stage not knowing what to do next. Oh no........

They made their exit...and entered again to have a toast with their guests. The emcee sucks! He just said "Cheers" and expect everyone to drink. So anticlimax. The traditional "yum seng" even had to be requested by the groom itself...even if it did happen....there was only once...not the traditional three. Perhaps he decided to cut it short...because the "yum seng" from the crowd was the most lacklustre one i have EVER heard......the softest....the most insincere one. Sigh....i tried to put on a smiling face in spite o that.......

Bride's supposed to thank her guests......after saying her few words....there was only polite applause...if i bothered to open my ears to that. No cheers....again.........sigh........

Talking to my bro about this all along......if i had a wedding like this......i would be VERY angry..........

Relatives who dont genuinely care or are happy for you. Friends who are virtually non existent and didnt bother to spice up the atmosphere for you......and a super strained, forced situation despite the food being really good.

I thought that was kinda saddening....the biggest day of one's life turned out to be so forced....so unspontaneous.....unmemorable. I decided i would make sure it wouldnt be like that during my turn. No room for mistakes or else i would end up with a lacklustre wedding where i have to put up a brave front just to make people think that im really happy when im absolutely not.

Sigh.........i tried to keep my criticisms to the minimal already....but it's really the worst dinner i have ever been to.......i would never allow mine to be like this........or i'll rather have none at all.

I kinda feel sorry for them.....hopefully they didnt quarrel or have any arguments over this.........but it's such a pity that the best day of their lives had to turn out like this.............

why do i feel like im being bullied...
Started work on May 25th...promoting hair colour products at IMM giant. Everything started well....supervisor at giant was friendly and helpful, and there are many other promoters who were really nice to me and helped me alot. Sales weren't very good at the start....only sold about 4-5 boxes during weekdays. Weekends were GOOD. I sold 18, and 24 respectively on my first sat and sunday. Really gave me a huge morale boost.

Week 2 monday, the brands essence promoter whom i always talk to left....so life became more boring now. Although there are other promoters whom i can talk to.....i cant share as much with them....and they seem to have topics of their own. Sigh...life is not too good anymore. But good thing i can still lunch with the Watsons promoter, who's promoting the same thing as me but not doing as well due to the lack of crowd at Watsons. At least i have some company during lunch...and some gossip and chatting company too...heh. Actually...i wouldnt mind dining alone.....cos i do like to shop alone at times....but having a partner does make life more fun too. Especially when the working environment is not that great already...

Though i like to work at giant...the high prices of the products were a huge disadvantage for me. The price of my products were like $5 more ex than those in watsons and guardians....but surprisingly....people still bought from me!! Hehe...happy me. But i do get customers who tell me that other places sell cheaper...and hence refuse to buy from me...making my job more difficult. I kept bugging my main company to make them reduce the price at Giant....and my supervisor too. Finally....during week 2 wednesday....he told me that the price would either drop tomorrow, or the day after. I looked forward to that.....

Thursday.........no price change.....but still sold 11 boxes :)

Friday morning....main company called me to tell me about the california fitness promotion thing. I sounded bored....cos i felt that whatever i was told to do...it was difficult to accomplish. Company asked me why i sound so bored...i told them that it was because the prices at giant were still unchanged...making it hard for me to sell. Company told me that if the prices did not drop by sunday, i shall call them and start working at bedok watsons by week 3 monday. Ok....i said.......and waited for the price to drop............

Backtrack a bit.............

Thursday.....had a nice chat with supervisor - FYI he's pretty young...heard he's 23 but he looks older seriously...not cute nor good looking...a little plump....but nice. Conversation went like this

Supervisor: So...what do you normally eat during break...
ME: Oh....nothing great...went with the other girl..usually go to staff canteen or food court. Any nice place to recommend?
S: Dont eat with her today la....i bring you go eat nice things...
Me: Serious ah? You can still eat at 430? Thought you just had break at 2....
S: Sure....i have a big appetite...

He didnt answer and walks away....

Break time and i left slightly before break time...went for break with watsons girl.......came back and did work...

Friday.........supervisor came.....conversation went like this

Me: Didnt you say prices will drop by today?
S: Yesterday you didnt wait for me to go for break.....i did all these things for you for nothing...(new price labels showing drop in prices)
M: wah really ar....
S: Slot in these new prices
M: Orhh.....

After that........i was given cold treatment and treated as if i was nonexistent

Later in the afternoon....got a call from main company that i was to report to Bedok watsons on SAturday.....conversation went like this

Company: You report to bedok watsons tomorrow onwards
Me: Huh serious? But prices here just dropped!
Company: Huh. But i already sent the email to that watsons
Me: Huh...then...how?
Company: You report to watsons tomorrow
Me: Orh...

I feel like im being bullied. Sales were picking up for me at giant. Second week sales were sooooooo much better. I sold 18 boxes on friday after the price change...last friday i sold 5. If this continues....i could get a lot more commission!!! Arggggggggghhhhhhh!!

After i received the news...i went to tell supervisor.....

Me: Hey....im going to bedok watsons tomorrow leh...
S: Ok lo bye

What the hell. I was freaking embarrased....the other promoter heard this but pretended like nothing happened. I just ignored the response and continued doing my job........after that he freaking treat me as transparent.......

I know the cause....it was the break thingy on thursday....he thought i dua him...........

BUT.....i didnt agree in the first place and he didnt ask me to wait for him what............i did NOTHING wrong

I felt wronged........upset..........bullied.....miserable..............cos i got treated badly when i did NOTHING wrong............why am i being treated like this? Be it the main company or the supervisor.......i feel like im being pushed around....despite me trying to be nice to them.........sigh...............

Today at bedok central...i checked out giant....my products there are selling at usual price...no discounted price. Suddenly i understood...........prices were changed just becos i was there.......i kinda felt bad.......the manager there was giving him looks when he changed the price. I felt kinda bad.................but then again.....i have no reason to feel bad....cos i did nothing wrong. I just felt as if i really did something wrong. Well...even if i did....i didnt mean it. There wasnt any verbal agreement or anything.....but if i were in his shoes...i would have felt cheated too..........

Whatever it is....i'm outta that place. Now at bedok....counter's smaller....no big place for me to slack around.....cannot go for long breaks...no one to chat with other than security guard.....customers not as nice as giant's.....sigh........i miss giant sooooo much..........i liked it soo much there....cos i can come late leave early and go for long breaks without anyone breathing down my neck. But here...i must sign in and out whenever i come and leave. Sighhhhhh......live without freedom..... but there's no way i can go back again......i dont wanna see his pissed face again....i dun dare to ask him to help me do things again......dunno why though i did nothing wrong....but relations are hurt and it wont be the same again. Somehow....im glad yet im sad to be outta giant...........i wanna go back....but i dun wanna face the supervisor again............

I wont be able to go back for sure....watsons bedok does have its pros.....more commission cos i sell more of the more valued boxes.......nicer food to eat here.....staff are nice and helpful.....and stock is more limited and more accessible.........not freezing cold............

But sigh......i wanna rant............i miss giant oh sooooooo much...... i miss the company there....the promoters and my lunch partner.......i miss the huge place where i can walk around while im bored...the m&ms i can eat when on the job..the free gifts i get from other promoters............the FOS..............................................................oh well......................seriously...i would give anything to go back.........at least i would enjoy the rest of my work period.....................but now.......im not so sure i will enjoy myself here...just hope that it gets better..........

feeling upset...........and miserable..................bullied...........abused.....cheated.............

it doesnt pay to be nice...................................

i miss my old workplace...............................

i wanna go back.....................................

im soooo sad.........................................................
