9 Feb 2010.

Skechers 工作还算满顺利。职员都对我很好，非常照顾我。

最近在家好无聊阿！另愿去工作，赚点外块。

我困了。拜拜！

ITE to offer 3 new diplomas.

I’m so proud of this news. http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_485395.html

3 New Diploma courses in Ite.

Diploma In Machine Technology

Diploma In Automative Technology

Diploma In Culinary Arts and Restaurant Management.

Once again, I’m going to repeat this. For those Ite students who detest Ite. You guys are faggots. Without Ite, the guys will be serving ns and the women will be working now.

You wouldn’t have gotten a second chance to study despite, You Failed ‘N’ Level! For NT Student, I have nothing to say. It’s fated for you guys. But at least, a path was given for you guys to choose.

You know who you are… Some of my classmates & friends.

5 Feb 2010. My Graduation Day?

I’ve received the invitation card for Ite Graduation Day. Decided not to go.

Reason being

- Location is at Dover Ite Headquarter.

- No colored hair allow. (They will spray your hair black on spot if you have colored hair. Will be done by the Hair Fashion’s Students.)

- Proper attire must be worn. Long selves formal shirt/pants.

So troublesome! It’s just a Ite Graduation. I doubt my classmates & friends is going.

I will just return to my campus on other day to take my certificate.

Look at the guy that is sitting down, his right hand. He is wearing formal shirt.

1 Feb 2010. First Day.

I realised that Shirt Retail & Shoes Retail is 2 totally different things.

The people is nice. So do I.

Make a call to NS today. Enlistment date have not yet finalise.

I just hope I’ll be enlisting in June.

(Quite dumb of me to called the Ns HQ. Now they have noticed me.)

31 Jan 2010. Goodbye The Green Icon, Welcome Skechers!

I went for interview today….And I got in! Lols!

Damn fast right?

Ok let me introduce my new job. Skechers!

Website? – http://www.skechers.com/ Check it out yourself!

Ok this is what happened today.

I was being interviewed by the Area In-Charge (I assume) in a nearby café. (Just right beside their Skechers shop)

I filled in the application form. The woman took me to the shop, introduced me to the other staff. Telling them I am the new staff. Lol!

Right at this moment i knew i got in!(Of course, there are others possibilities that makes me think so.) Hahahahaha. So fast right?

The pay for a Junior Sales Assistant is just…..Too Good, Too Amazing, Too Fabulous!

In the (Green Family Tree Icon) Their Sales Associates (Pay + Grooming + Various Commissions = Still below my new job basic pay.) I’m only refering to my basic. I have not yet include the commission etc.

Delighted am I. Bad advantage about this job is….You got to handle customer’s feet. Which includes, the famous Hong Kong Foot.

Advantage – It’s really slacking! There’s nothing to do when there’s no customer. **You can’t fold clothes, Pack clothes**

Estimated percentage that I will get into this job will be 80%. I have the *Tick Icon* as backup LOls.

(Although I did email to the Tick Icon Person that I can’t work for them anymore due to….Ya I mention Ns. I don’t like their location. Orchard!? Way too far for me. That’s why I quickly sent an email to them when i got home. Actually, they did arrange an interview for me on monday. But, I prefer Skechers to them.)

This is what worries me. My Ns Enlistment Date!

I think I’m just going to love this job. Location acceptable, Salary needless to say, Staff (I will find out on my first day.)

Ring, ring, ring! Gonna give a call to the Ns Hq on monday. Hopefully, my enlistment date will be in somewhere around May at least! I just hope so!

Oh ya i forget to mention. The interviewer is so good. She treat me drinks. But i chose the wrong favours! I choose what Mocha Tea stuff. That cafe guy recommanded to us. Eeeewwww~~~Taste like…Have you guys tried Seaweed? Those snacks one?

If you dip the snacks kind seaweed into water and you take it out, put it into your mouth. That will be the taste of my drinks.

28 Jan 2010. I hate this festival.

One of my most hated festival is drawing near.

Which is…..Chinese New Year!

I started to dislike this festival at the age of 16.

I could still vividly remember when I was young, I love CNY a lot! Ang baos & Gambling.

Throughout the year, these few days were the only days for us, the little children to earn some bucks.

But now, I detest gambling and I dislike talking to those elderly alot.

Just let me finish off those snacks on the table!

The same old stuff will always be asked.

- Where are you studying now?

- How are you ar?

- Got work during holidays?

- Got girlfriend already?

GOSH! Give me a break, I want a Kit Kat!

I want to work during CNY! There will bound to be tons of jobs outside. I don’t mind having the renuion dinner, but please spare me the rest of the 3 days. To be exact, it’s 15days.

As a Chinese, I know how the chinese parents will react upon knowing their children will not be visiting their grandparents, visiting this and that relatives. Etc….etc….etc…

Nevermind! I’m ready! I bought a notebook this year. Gonna bring it throughout this 3 “unbearable” day.

26 Jan 2010.

At first I thought it will be deducted from my pay.

But the outcome was to pay on the spot.

Thanks god it’s only a 5mins walk to the Atm machine.

It’s all over now.

A big thanks to all the staff in 824 for teaching me things which will be a great help to me in future in the retail industry.

I bear no grudge to any staff in 824 because there are just too many happy moments that we’ve spent.

If I were to make a choice between 4 & 5, I will still choose 4. Regardless of the people or the environment there.

I believe its over now. (The Green Family Tree Icon)

22 Jan 2010. My next job.

I’m finally going back to the Waiter Industry.

A year ago I was working as a Banquet Waiter. Serving dishes, refilling drinks is not a problem for me at all!

Yesterday, I posted a few ads on Gumtree Singapore. Today I received 10+ emails!

But most of the job belongs to the Sales Category…..Me No Like!

We shall see how.

18 Jan 2010. A New Environment.

I miss 824……………………………..the environment.

I miss the super cold air conditioner, opposite salon and my locker there.

In 825, although there’s some locker but no one use it at all. They just place their belongings around…

My first day in Toa Payoh bossini, I was unhappy.

Totally new to the environment, limited air-con, limited space.

I don’t know you, You don’t know me. No one to talk to except “Jay” (ZJie)’s friend.

Miss Sexy Little Nurul came to visit me. Seeing her wasn’t going to brighten up my day. She stayed for only 5mins due to she came to visit me during her break time from class. Thanks la ok…At least I finally saw someone I know.

My whole day was in a dull. (I believe 825 staff noticed too.)

I just try to stand at the front door as long as possible. Since I was transfer to there because of my “Handsome” looks. So I believe my job is to stand at the front, attract the customers in. That’s all.

Personally, I think that 825 Toa Payoh really have what it takes. Compare to 824 Amk Hub, their shop is half of ours only!

In addition, there’s a Giordano beside it and a Hang ten before it! What a strong competitive place!

Further on, their stocks is running low. Same goes for the broken sizes. (Haha! Something I learn from Mr. Kelvin Leong.)

My mind was in a whirl of confusion for the day.

‘How the hell did their sales get so good?’ So much better as compare to bigger shop like 824 Amk Hub.

- Their place is competitive.

- Their stock and variety choices is not as much as 824.

- The overview of the shop is also not as attractive as 824.

BUT THEIR SALES WON 824 MANY TIMES!

I must say their SM/First In-charge is really a glib talker.

Nevertheless, I still prefer 824! Forget it. Already tender my resignation letter.

Booked an appointment on monday for clearance of stuff.

16 Jan 2010. The Silent War.

Tomorrow suppose to be the last day of work for me in Bossini.

Chris from Hr called me and asked me to stay and help him out untill Chinese New Year is over.

I decided to stay and help him out in Bossini Amk Hub.

Ssm (Senior Shop Manager) came today. Obviously, she was here for inspections.

She stayed for about 2hours?

I was quite happy when i bought my lunch back. I passed by the counter. Ssm was talking to both of my In-charge. I didn’t heard a thing and i just went into the staff room. Later on, my first in-charge came and told me. Ssm said I’m very handsome & cute.

For anyone who heard that praises coming out from someone of a level, they will be 100% happy.

But for me, i was not totally happy. I knew from the moment that something was not right.

I ignore the assumption i had in me and carry on with my lunch and thus continues with my work.

At around 4.50pm, my second in-charge asked me ‘Did your boss (the first in-charge) tell you?’ I was like Huh? Tell me what? Before my 2nd in-charge asked me this question, a female staff did the same question on me too.

The moment he laughed, i knew what was it about. My assumptions came true.

This is what had happened before the Sinister Smile.

During the conversation with Chris from Hr, he told me that one of our staff over here in Amk hub will need to be transfer to Toa Payoh Bossini as a Permanent Staff.

Mostly will choose between the 2 Full Time staff. Which is Him or Her. There’s only 2 full time staff in the shop. Me myself & another female staff belongs to the Temporary Full Time category. So we are safe.

Seeing the 2 sinister smile coming out from my 2 colleages, i knew i was the one chosen to be transfer over to Toa Payoh Bossini. I was told by my 2nd in-charge that my Boss (the first in-charge) would like to see me.

We had a conversation. During the conversation, i was force to use this 2 words ‘Verbal Agreement‘. The agreement between Chris from Hr and me.

To add on, the agreement was like what i had mention earlier. I said i will Stay In Bossini 824. Which is amk hub.

Throughout the conversation with my First In-Charge, i came to know that she had already spoken to the Full Time male staff before talking to me. The Male Staff rejected the idea of going to Toa Payoh as a Permanent Staff and thus I became her only choice. To me, its Target not Choice.

To add on again, Toa Payoh needed only Male Staff. There’s only the Full Time Male Staff & Me. (The Temp Full Time.)

After a while, i came to a conclusion. I will go to Toa Payoh for a week and after a week. Bye Bye! Which means i will quit.

*For unconfirmed staff (Those who have not committed 3months) if choose to quit will have to give a 1 week notice.

I already took a few steps back! At that moment my whole body was boiling. My body was so hot that i can even swallow down an egg and when it came out from my anus, it will be Cooked.

Do you guys know what Stupid Reason that was given to me? The Ssm thinks I’m handsome. Because of my looks as compare to the Full Time Male Staff, the sales at Toa Payoh will boost greatly! Oh pls! Even without me the sales at ToaPY was already that good. I’m here to work not to sell my looks!

Chris from Hr clearly told me that he needed a Permanent Staff. As such, he needs a Full Time Staff to go over there. Not a Temp Full Time! I only heard 2 names coming out from his mouth Ok?

Guess what’s next? I was the first person in Amk Hub Bossini to know this news that Someone from our outlet will be transfering over to ToaPY as Perm Staff. Even both of my In-charge have no idea at all!

I went out and carry on with my work. First In-charge called Ssm to ask & say.

Second In-charge were the one who told me that i will be going to Toa Payoh on monday. I said Ok.

While in the bus, i was thinking about the whole events. Thinking over and over again.

I came to an conclusion!

I’m going to rebut back.

This is what i sms-ed to my Second In-charge.

“It’s me aaron here. I have decided not to go to Toa Payoh. On 15jan 2010 over the phone with chris, he clearly stated that he needed a full time staff from Amk Hub to ToaPY as permanent staff. He will choose either He or She to go. No other names was being mention beside the 2 of them. Before i hang up the phone, he asked me many times of confirmation. My reply to him was ‘Ok i will stay in Bossini 824 (Which is Amk Hub). In addition, if He have the privileges to reject the offer I don’t see the point why I have to accept it. Thats all for now. I will discuss it with Ssm & First In-charge tomorrow”.

I wanted to use the word ‘If he have the RIGHTS to reject. But….it sounds like He is very big or at a high rank.

Tomorrow challenges. Although I’m all alone by myself, but I’m not going to lose! At least i will give in all my best in the Debates.

Making use of the Pros & Cons from the whole events and days i had in Bossini. Somehow i know i’m definitely going to lose. Reason being? I won’t say it here.

Just received a phone call from my Cute Colleagues! Remember the ‘O’ Level girl that i mention that had gotten herself a 12points?

Because she took a fancy of the male hairstylist which the shop that he is working in is just right opposite of us. I made up a lie to her. She said she doesn’t believe it in the first place. But later on, she believed and went to ask the staff of the salon.

Ok I’m so so so Sorry. I can understand the embarrassment you’ve gotten. Because of the embarrasment, i will offer you my deepest apologies by bluetooth-ing you Super Junior Song ‘Sorry Sorry’!

I really regretted promising Chris that i will stay. Helping him out during CNY.

Now i understand how this chinese idioms came about. 好心没好报. It means “Kindness will never be repay.” “You get nothing out of being kind/Kindness.”
