alright...im back blogging.the past few days have been quite abit of a roller coaster ride....
yeap...
I made myself really free during the past two weeks becos i wanted to focus abit more on my guitar and job, and give myself a break.
cos arh... fully booked can very tiring de...
whole day out... then at night work...
quite cham
Things I have been doing:
1. Playing guitar
yeap cos will be performing for prom...
yea... and im playing electric guitar...
so nidda practise quite abit...
so far havent comfirm a rehearsal date to practise in jamming studio... so yar... hopefully can get things settled quickly.
2. Cleaning my room
i can tell you that I HAVENT FINISHED MY CLEANING MY ROOM. WHY?
BECOS, 1 MORNING, I WOKE UP, ATTEMPTED TO CLEAN MY BOOKS COS THEY WERE COLLECTING DUST. since i was quite sensitive to dust, i started
sneezing,
and sneezing,
and SNEEZING.
TADA. I CAUGHT A FLU. FROM CLEANING MY ROOM. DAMN RETARDED and i couldnt work for the next two days or go out.
3. Selling starhub cable tv plans
yea... i can honestly say that this job has helped me see things from different perspectives.
As much as i have wasted saliva on oblivious customers, i have also felt the kindness of others.
This job has allowed me to see the real world, that there are all kinds of people in the world out there.
What i like about this job is when customers KINDLY REFUSE when they are not interested. At least when i tell them its ok... i can still smile or laugh.
that gives me some job satisfaction already, even if they are not interested.
What i don't like about the job is that really piss you off.
I understand.
You had a bad day.
U got a feeling that Tonites NOT going to be a good night.
You feel stressed. then this guy comes up to you selling cable tv plans
btw normally i start my by saying im from starhub and asking if i can ask a few questions to them...
even though its a yes or no question...
i get ALL SORTS OF REPLY IN MANY DIFFERENT FORMS
let me give u some examples.
1. (doesnt open the door) *asks from behind the door* "who is this?"
me: im from starhub, i would like to ask u some questions...
*no reply(tio dao and ignored)(couldnt even bother to open the door, no basic courtesy)
2. (stares at you blankly) *gives you hand signal to shoo away*
I was being kind to 1 customer cos she was HAPPILY saying goodbye to her nephews and nieces
so i did the other door 1st. when i came back, her "HAPPY" look totally changed to a fierce and stern look and she just closed the door -.- Imagine if her nephew was to grow up and take the same job as me and knock on her door. How to you think he would have felt about his aunt?
3. (open abit to peek)
me: good evening maam im from starhub, i would *closes door*
me: ....-.-(owned)
4. this happened to my bro while i was sick and he worked alone.
the person shouted to him.
"DON'T YOU DARE WASTE YOUR TIME OPENING YOUR MOUTH! TURN AROUND AND WALK DOWN THE STAIRS!"
these kind of people relly damn no courtesy. they never put themselves in other's shoes.
but then i have seen the good side of people too.
One customer i talked too invited me into her house for drinks.
and even though i refused, she later passed me two packet drinks( for me and my bro)
She took up my promotion too. How nice. 1 sale for me.
Then there was another yesterday, while i was knocking on 1 door, the other door(an old indian woman) opened up and told her chinese neighbour(the one i was knocking) that she kept her newpapers
for them while they were on holiday. She told them that there were cleaners washing the floor so she kept the papers so they would not get wet. then the chinese woman latr went to ask how the aunty was doing etc.
THIS IS RACIAL HARMONY IN ACTION.
yeap. sorry it has been a long story. ive got so many tales to tell. some are really hilarious
hahaha thats why i plan to take this job until january 20 i believe. when i receive my 2nd payslip. until then, there has been bad days with 0 sales from 2 blocks, but there also have been good days with 4 sales!
so yeap. the money doesnt really matter much to me anymore. Im just looking to make 1 sale per day and that makes me happy enough. 1 sale = 25 dollars
25 dollars in 3 hours = 8/hr which is above average pay already.
ok
more stories from me here in future
stay tuned! =)
