Today
 


Bus stop is alwys the first station of the day. it Is like the first place that i'll go, the starting point and the ending point of my day journey.


Feeling a little xtyghkbv because i see so many people all dressed up on a Sat ready to enjoy their weekend but i was in my uniform on my way to report for work. Sian la, of course. i keep telling myself, "Olivia, think of the of the beautiful numbers when your cheque come and MAJOR FLEA-ING after that!" this is how i keep my mind my life alive when i feel paralyzed to work. :D

Awesome weather

unlike the usual hot weather at 3pm, the weather now is quite chilling~cool. :)

recently i have been shopping on http://www.solestruck.com, looking for a peep toe wedge. there is just too many pairs that i like but i'm restricted to only one. this is going to be my first $100 and above heel, i need to choose carefully.

childhood talks on the bus with Jingru was great. our childhood have definitely mold us into who were are today.

today is Thursday, normally the day before i'll have sleepless night burning mid night oil rushing my design. this week i choose to take the easy way, i choose leisure & sleep over stressing about my design homework.

i had too much milk and cereals, my face feel so bloated now. i went grocery shopping 2 days ago, i bought stuff that i really love and i really eat a lot. i'm always the one who finish 80% of the cereal my mum bought so it is only fair that now that i'm working i should top them up. judging by the rate i eat them, i finish one box of cereal in a day, i can eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner with milk or without.

i seriously need to control my intake especially when it comes to my favorite food. i must learn to eat In Moderation!!!! F- A - T!!!!!!!!!!!!

if you have an Iphone, download Cookie Dozer, this game is so addictive! i just hate that the "cookie generator' take so long to create one cookie. okay la, is only 30 sec, but it seems so long. hahaha. i think cookie dozer is more fun then coin dozer!

Mustafa experience

for the last weekend i was deployed from Marina Square to Mustafa instead because the sales was bad.

Mustafa mustafa...
where do i start?
i was lost for the first day of work. that place is like a huge ants colony. ALOT ALOT of items not to mention the crowd too. i was trying to find my way round Mustafa my first day, i tell you, all the blocks look the same! the supervisor show me around like the staff entrance + the clock in area and my work station, they are at 2 different block. or was it the same? i seriously can't remember, just TIKAM laaaa! :D

my colleagues now are all Indians. at first i thought i'll be left in one emo corner, i'm the 2nd chinese there apart from that guy selling china phone. but no. all the staff there are very friendly and funny. sometimes i might miss their joke but i'll just laugh along like i understand.

the way they work here is pretty laid back i'll say. at Marina square i need to do alot of Hard Selling to the customer, at Mustafa that is not the case. all i need to say is "Video very GOOD! Got MP3, RADIO, ALL HAVE! Camera very GOOD!!!" that is it! hhahahaha, that was what i was told to say by my Indian colleague! HAHAHAHAHA.....

they told me the more i talk the more they will ask, and most of them just enquire and not buying. keeping in mind that most of the customer there are foregin workers from India & Bangaladashi. english is not something that are very good at, simple yet precise words will do.

thank God for the counter that seperate me from the crowd, it can get really intimidating when a whole lot just crowd around the glass panel to look at the phones.

being there, i witness alot of their culture way in showing brotherly love towards each other. hold hands is nothing, hugging each other waist like how a couple will cuddle each other is common too. i am fine with that, the thing i can't stand was the part they adjust their discomfort in the crotch area right infront of you or sometimes scratching it....

*roll eye ball to the back of my socket, can't bare to see it*

it was so gross.

apart from their culture openness, i am cool with everything else. it is very easy to close sales in Mustafa, i sold 20 sets just on Sunday while 5 sets on Sat. ;) the promotion is ending.... means my contract is ending too. :( i like the pay, easy job where can i find promoter job like this again?

Grandparents

when i was on the bus, i was caught in the middle of this group of people. i was kinda sitting in between them. at the beginning i felt irritated when the elderly on my left talked to the lady on my right, i was like thinking why would you want to sit so far apart to talk? i felt it was a little inconsiderate because they were both raising their voice and i was caught in the middle.

it was only on the later part of the journey that i found out this group of people was link. they are sort of a family. infront of me sat 2 kids that belongs to the women on my right and the elderly on my left is the grandparents because the kids address them as "ah gong" & "popo". behind the 2 grandparents sat another 2 elderly couple. they were all chatting happily about their day, the whole conversation sound like they just got picked up from the airport and probably and blahhhhhhh....

the kids were snapping photo of the grandparents, they were all chatting and smiley. the grandparents were the most chatty ones.

being among them i can feel the closeness of this family between the grandparents and the grandchildren. they all seems to enjoy one another companion so much, something that i thought is going extinct in our society now. the normal scenario these days, the elderly always look so grumpy and they are normally on their own. their conversation always sound a little depressing. even if they are out with their family, they look like a maid! carrying their grandchildern bags and look so wear out or just at the corner by themselves. like so poor thing. well, just my observation.

i was staring at this elderly wrinkle skin. it reminds me of my grandmother who i haven't seen for so long. i miss her wrinkled skin, i remember i used to touch her skin it felt so soft. i miss her.

i don't know about you, but when i see a couple of elderly walking together my heart will go like "awwwwwwwwwwwww~"

It is like a drug
i had a great fetish in snacking on nuts. NUTS! like almond, cashew, pistachio, walnut, raisin.... NUTS! i know i swear to myself that i'll never touch Carmel Nuts ever again ever since i worked for them... but now i am hooked. every minute i'll think of it and WANT to eat it.

all this nuts is nut expensive too. i can finish one pack within an hour. i eat it like a meal. this is nutty, i know, but it is like eating potato chips. even though you already feeling full, but something in it that makes you reach for another and another and another till you finish the entire pack. then you'll rub your stomach and whine for finishing everything and feeling guilty for eating so much. -.-

i can't help it! 

those nuts is that addictive!

oh do you know the PT promoter job i am taking on is not even 1/2 tiring at all comparing to all the other jobs i've work before? i want to Thank God for locating me in this outlet, because everyone is so nice to the promoter, the people there is so friendly. best of all, i can do my homework there when there is not customer and play games all the time!

thanks to technology, Motorola came out with XT and Milestone which is equally compatible and competitive with iphone. this is what i play with from the start of work till i knock off. i surf net, play games, blogshop with this phone! once i travel around the world, i went to Tokyo Disneyland, i went to see the Great Wall of China, i went to hunt down Eiffel tower and check out New York City with their in build GPS map powered by Google. the pictures are super clear! k la, not like you can zoom in till the extent that you can see the roots of the human hair. the most you can zoom in to is a view you'll see from about the 30th floor. not bad right?

k, that is just something i do to pass time at work with the amazing phone.

you must be thinking i must be the promoter for Motorola, YOU ARE WRONG. i am the promoter for LG, i was hired to promote their Cookies series phone. they do have a life set which i can play with, however they didn't provide any SD card or SIM card. i can't access the net without a SIM, or play any music as demonstration how 'loud' it can go because there is no SD card inside. how dumb.

that also explain why i don't play with the phone that i am suppose to promote.

la dee dum.
bye~

this period is the most depressing.
