14 Dec 2009.

Well as promised. I will blog only on my off day. Off today!

Absorbed quite alot in Bossini.

Transfer out, Scanning, Calling, Customer Service and i believe the list will still goes on…

I must say “Once you are in charge of the Cashiering, You Are The King! Your sales for that day will definitely be Top!

I wonder when will i receive my Ns Enlistment Letter. A few of my friends & classmates have already gotten it. Some of them have already entered.

I just hope i will be chosen for the April Intake Enlistment.

All Kinds Of Faces, All Kinds Of Peoples.

Working in Bossini for this 1 week make me realised that There are really all kinds of Peoples. Or should i say Customers.

Thanks god i got a little experience about Retail in the past. Selling uniforms in Macpherson Ite Co-op Shop! Haha! Sounds funny but it is really a good Cca.

You will learn about Scanning, Finding Products Code, Folding/Selling of uniforms and also how to handle those naughty students + millions questions parents.

Alright this is what most of the customers will ask.

- Will this shirt/pants shrink?

- Is this pants low cut or normal cut?

- Will this shirt/pants get bigger everytime i wash it?

One good question that this female customer asked me was…“So this tag on this shirt shows Pre-Shrunk. Does it applies to others shirts as well? Because the others shirts doesn’t have the tag stated Pre-Shrunk on it.”

I was totally stunt man! Pre-Shrunk?! What the hell is that? Its my first time seeing such words. It was stated on the shirt tag for so long yet i never ever noticed it at all.

I went online to check out this word Pre-Shrunk.

Pre-Shrunk means the fabric was washed and shrunk before it was cut out for the garment.

Alright thats all for today.

I’m learning how to scan now. Learning bits by bits.

08 Dec 2009. Monkey Ron

The Arts Of Climbing? I’m going to master it sooner or later.

Despite there’s a ladder in Bossini store room, most of us doesn’t use it often.

One of the 10 reason would be…

- We would rather move a chair than to move a ladder.

Or…We simply just lean our back against the wall, feet on the shelves, steps by steps we make our way up to the shelves where it have the shirts.

No worries! We are extremely cautions. All of us are “Pro Climbers” now.

06 Dec 2009. 3months Long With Bossini.

Started working in Bossini.

Learnt alot of stuff. At the same time, i have to absorb everything as quick as possible in my brains.

The staffs there are really friendly. They taught me alot.

At first i was really wondering why the hell did my friend manage to get such a close location. And for me, i have to travel for 30mins to reach my shop.

But now, i realised that the World Is Fair.

Despite his location being the closer, he have to report to work at 9am for morning shift.

As for me, 10.30am. He needs to wake up earlier than i do. Good thing is….He will never be late for work. There’s many buses from his house to the work place.

Retail is fun for me. Constantly working. I love such jobs! Folding here and there. Saying “Welcome!” to customer. But sometimes, my voice tends to be low and it sounds like as if i am “Half Dead”.

I think i will learn about scanning starting from tomorrow. Lisa, one of my colleagues taught me a little on scanning.

It’s so much harder as compare to the scanning system of Co-op Shop. I am going to master the scanning system before Lisa left. She’s quitting on the 15th.

Afternoon shift tomorrow! Which means i report to work at 1.45pm.

29 Nov 2009.My Encounter With Asus.

Last day of Sitex 2009. I went there alone. Loiter here and there for 5hours! Finally found a laptop that fits in my budget and expectations.

Let me introduce my New Laptop to you guys. Asus K40IJ

The Only Asus Notebook that fits in my budget & expectations.

The first brand i approached was Fujitsu. A Japan brand notebook which i always thinks its Good.

This is how i went around asking each Promoter. “Hi, Do you have any notebook that actually fits in my budget of 900 bucks?”

The Promoter from Fujitsu show me the One & Only Notebook that fits in my budget. $899. Sad to say, Windows Vista, No Dvd Rom.

Up next was Hp. Did the same thing, asked the same question. The reply i got back was “Sorry, There isn’t any.”

This was when i decided to go Rounds between Asus & Acer booth.

Same question was being asked to the Promoter of Asus. She lead me to notebook. The first look and thought i had was….”Is that really a notebook?” Because the screen is about 11inchs. It totally looks more like a Netbook as compare to a Notebook. Once again, that was the only notebook that fits in my budget of $900.

 

Looked around Acer. Yes indeed. They have many Notebooks that fits in my budget & expectations. I saw one that is  about 16 inchs screen, so big and yet it only cost about $849! But too bad, i heard too much bad things about Acer notebook.

Such as…

Going haywire after the warranty.

Very Hot (The laptop base).

Waited for about 2hours. Finally, one of the Asus Laptop price being lowered! From $948 to $888. Checked the specs, os, etc…Decided to buy it!

Alright here’s the good show.

I bought the laptop. The guy open up the box. Took out the NV Bag, placed everything in it.

Followed by he cut out the Redeem Sticker and told me to go to the Asus Redeemption Booth to redeem my 东西.

I asked what is there to redeem? He said the person at the Redemption Booth will check and give me something.

I went there. Shown the Sticker to the lady. Guess what she told me?

“Sorry, the laptop you purchased doesn’t have anything to redeem.” I was like HUH?! Then why the hell did that guy told me to come and redeem my 东西?”

I got really flare up. I waited for minutes and this is the reply i gotten? She told me to wait while she called her boss. (A Very Arrogant Guy.)

That guy came, told me the same things. Of course i revoke back!

I said “Since there’s nothing to redeem, why did that guy told me to come here and redeem something?”

This what the guy told me. I went speechless because what he said really make sense.

“So do you have any idea what is the Thing that He Ask You to RedeeM?” I don’t know what to say.

Followed by, “Ok you go back to the guy and ask him what you can redeem. I can always follow you go back one. You want?” (Bloody Arrogant Tone!) I am sure that guy is someone from a higher rank. He wore different colors uniforms. His one was in Light Blue. While the others Asus Promoter & Staff wore a Striking Dark Blue Color.

I went back. Before i ask the guy, i looked thrice at the Bronches of the Laptop that i purchased. It stated Free Gift includes A NV Bag, Optical Mouse & a Norton Virus.

I checked properly throughout the whole bag. Only then did i realise that the Norton Virus is not inside! He never gave me the Norton Virus Cd. (Which i assume should be the 东西 that i can redeem.)

I explained the whole process. . The other promoters that were around stared blindly at me. Like as if i am going to start a fight. One of the promoter came and said “Just pass him the Norton Virus Cd la.” I took the Cd & left.

***Clap clap clap*** The End.

Started playing with my laptop when i reached home. Funny thing is…There are 4 Cd given. Excludes the Norton Virus Cd. 2 of the cd is exactly the same. The Recovery Cd for the Laptop. Both is Dise 1 of 1. I wonder why did they gave me 2 of it?

Anyway, spent 5hours in Sitex 2009. (Includes my travelling time to there.)

Delighted as i gotten my laptop. Not very happy with That guy from Asus. The way he talk and his “Good Service”. TO think that Asus self claimed themselves as No.1 Quality & “Services“.

 

27 Nov 2009. Help needed.

Anyone mind telling me how to solve such error?

I have been experiencing this Hotmail Java Error for months after i started using Google Chrome. (Only applies to Hotmail)

I have tried many methods. Downloading the Lastest JavaScript, Updating Google Chrome to it’s Newest Version.

Just to add-on, Internet Explorer is perfectly fine. As in i don’t see this error at all when i open up my hotmail in IE.

Ya you people must be thinking, then use Internet Explorer la! But obviously, Chrome have a better speed.

I simply love the Tab, Bookmarks thingy.

Any clues for solving such java error? Drop me an comment yeah?

Help appreciated!

24 Nov 2009. Class Mobive

Skipped morning lesson. The one and only lesson that starts at 10am and end at 1pm.

Prepared myself, set off to Bishan Junction 8.

Class outing for a movie? 16 turns up. Quite cool.

Mr. Eugene (My Ca) treating. 1 movie tickets per person & 1 $5 GV food voucher.

Review on the movie – Fantastic! Worth watching, worth the price.

Here is what i am going to say for the later part of the movie.

Home sweet home after taking some photos.

I dropped my wallet on the way to circle line. (Thanks god, an uncle saw it and shouted for me.) I don’t know how the hell i drop my wallet. The very last time that such incident happens was during my primary 3, which is 9years old. I lost my wallet twice in a row that year. I ended up using coins for my transport to school. (That was when i lost my wallet for the second time.)

Oh ya movie period was long 2hr 30mins. I was hoping to have my dinner at Bishan Junction 8 with some of my classmates. Oh well, went home instead.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . My mind went blank. I know i have alot of stuff that i can write. But the moment when i really started typing, It went blank~~~~~.

Ok got it! Chris from Bossini called me! He called me at 6pm while i was in the cinema watching the movie! Argh~~~~~! I told him i am in a movie and will call him back later. Movie ended late. I did call back, no one picks up the phone.

Shall try again tomorrow.

At Least A 60% Success.

Skipped my afternoon lesson for an interview with Bossini.

Arrived there at around 2pm++. Not much candidates. Mostly…or should i say All of them is from Ite.

Alright let me explain.

An Ite Career Fair was being held at Ite College East (Simei).

I went there on last thursday with my class. The whole group of us just walked 1 round and we came out. When i was at the entrance, i saw many interesting companies like Bossini, Fish & Co, Yun Nam, New York, London and the list goes on…

Most of my classmates went home. But for me, i decided to head in once again.

I looked around. Did a little chat with the Bossini staff, gotten an application form and i just wrote down my details!

In the past, i  did sent a few resume to Bossini asking for a job. But i was turned down due to i have only 3 weeks holiday.

Interview was easy for me. I am prepared! Actually, they did gave us some hints on the question that they are going to ask.

On the last page of the application form, there’s this grading stuff. If you are observant enough, you should have at least did some Q&A in your mind.

- Personalities -

- Looks -

The list goes on… If i’m not wrong, there’s about 10 criteria. Each with a grading point of Excellent – Good – Ave – Poor – Bad?

I got a Good for looks. Hahaha. As for the others, no comments. (Clueless_) I think they judge your looks during the day at the Career Fair.

I tried to speaks as much as i could, Put on a great smile, Back sat straight, Eyes contact with the interviewer. I am so glad that i did listen attentively to those Talks on Interviewing. Somehow, I think i have already secure myself with 70 Points.

The last thing that the interviewer asked me was…” So you live in Hougang, will the location Tampiness be alright for you?“

Alright i know it’s just a question, but at least there’s some hope for me.

18 Nov 2009. My Day Or Not.

My Beautiful Day Is Ruin By The Morning Class.

Received a sms last night.

Those who pass Mr. Eugene test tomorrow don’t have to go for his lesson, just go for Mr. Fu lesson will do. But for those fail ones, you have to do for Mr. Eugene lesson.

I did not pass, neither did i fail. I just didn’t manage to finish up with the last question. So…I guess i am the one who must return for the retest.

Reached school at around 10.15am. Gosh! Only 1 people in class. (No surprise. Many of them already passed.)

My eyeball almost came off when i looked at the whiteboard.

Practise Lab 11.5.5

Do Cisco test 14.

Project Class starts at 1pm.

I was like…HUH!? No retest? Mr. Eugene not here? A sub teacher is here?

I settle down, knowing that my teacher is not here, there’s no retest.

All i was told by that Sub Teacher was to do Cisco Test 14 & practise Lab 11.5.5.

! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !! ! ! ! ! ! ! Counting towards the 3rd finger! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

I came at 10.15am. The teacher told me that i can go at 11am !

Overall only 4 people turn up for the lesson! (Looking at 3rd finger !)

Skipped the afternoon lesson, went for my Bossini Interview .

Finally, i have gotten a chance to work in a Retail Store!
