Hello! It's been awhile since the last time I've ever posted something on this page, or even use the computer.
Since I just had my second working experience, I wanted to blog about it :)
I worked at Mid Valley's IT fair for 3 full days. It wasn't very hard but the only killer was we had to stand for 12 hours straight besides the short breaks during out lunch and dinner.
Of course, there are fun parts. We were the part timers and the full timers and crew was pretty friendly, they weren't as scary as I thought they would be. They were just like us, a little older but still acting like a teenager when they talk to us and tease us.
I think the best part was working with my favorite person - Liphoong. We were in the same booth and we would give each other a fist bump or a high or low five when we success in convincing a customer to buy our products. Working could be boring when everyone just come and go in front of your booth, but he would do so many silly faces to make sure I put a smile on my face to him or to the other customers. I think we always have a lil chemistry when we work together, working with him gave me a little flashback to our school's Pameran last year, where we would talk so many silly things together to convince people to play games at our booth, heh!
But during day 2 we were in separate booths, which is just across each other's booth. We didn't get to talk that much but he still did all his silly faces to me every time I lay my eyes on him. He even danced Psy's gentlemen dance and got caught by one of the full timer that was laughing at him the whole time with me!
It's always good to have a little sunshine around you :')
During working i got to meet so many people, some who are deaf, some who can't speak at all, and of course, typical Malaysians! They would do whatever it takes to get a lower price from you. Not just Malaysians, even some white people i served bargained with me. I storied my mother and she went : "you see, it's not just me! Everyone is like that."
On my 1st day of work an uncle asked me :
"you just came back from overseas?"
"no i just graduated from high school"
"your English doesn't sound local huh"
haha, a little over joyed. I haven't speak in English for quite a while now and of course my confidence was pretty low, you don't know what a simple sentence can do to someone. *hearts*
On day 2 i served another uncle till he went to pay for his buy, after paying he came back to me and said "你很棒！一直笑 " and gave me a thumbs up. It really boosted me up because i was about to reach the point of showing an unhappy face due to my painful feet. It's always amazing how God choose to support and surprise you to keep you going :')
Day 3 was pretty bad cause i wasn't happy the whole day. But i got to experience what do people do after they end a fair. We had to stay back to clear the booth together, it's kinda amazing what teamwork can do. We had to carry the boxes of products to the somewhat storeroom and when i went to grab a box one of the crew handed me one and said "this one is specially for you" and it was a really, really light weighted box, haha!
Anyway people, respect promoters because you don't know what they've been through the whole day and how many people they have to serve and please in a day. And of course, their painful feet that are almost flat after a long day of standing, that's the worst, i swear.
Sorry if this post is really long and i thank you for reading this from the start till the end. I want to and will try to blog more often! :)
Toodles!
