Yesterday was my official first day of work.
My task was to tend the shop from 11am to 3pm, ... Initially.
However, the 'sister' of mine got to work and won't be able to meet me at the appointed time.
So, my time had extended to 10pm.
That was fine as I could learnt how to end a day off.
Hmm, sales was bad for me. :(
Some feedback(s) from my sister were:
I dressed too casually.
My attitude/reaction towards customer.
Put myself in customers' shoes.
Some feedback(s) from me, myself are:
I should buy their clothings and dress THAT to work, so customers will have the confidence.
I need to be convincing, persuasive, outspoken, and have MORE self-confidence.
Limited knowledge which need to be improved.
Yes, put myself in customers' shoe.
List goes on ...
OK.
My next working day will be on the Sunday, which I really look forward to.
Reason being, I want to know by my capabilities and feedback(s), I can do better sales.
Besides, IT'S A SUNDAY!!!
There'll be even more deals to clinch.
Basically, my target for Sunday will be $300 and above for my shift (first shift).
Sunday will be at the push cart ALL BY MYSELF.
Abit 'kan chiong' cum scared cum 'rojak' feelings sia.
Alright, what matter most is, I put in my best shot.
加油，炜婷！

I'm no longer jobless.
HAHA.
Is it a thing for celebration, or is it to welcome my world of troubles?
I would not say it's a celebration, neither it's a trouble.
To me, it is going to be the world of REALITY.
Time for gaining experience(s)!
*smile*

Everybody have their busy life with their JOB. But I'm still lying down here like a dead person. I seriously don't have a good life here. All of my friends are working. Hopefully they doesn't get too stress or overwork and hope they are enjoying their job over there. :)
I'm VERY bored.
Glad that I'm going out wih TEO LI JING tomorrow to shop for our 'PUNK'. xP
I'm desperate for a job now. :S
Anyway, lets' say if I have a job already, I might not be able to go to the campfire which I had some fun there.
Lets' say if I have a job already, I won't be able to attend trainings for my POP.
Lets' say if I have a job already, I may not able to take leave for my POP.
lalala~
SIGH!
One word, BORED!!!!
YES! I'm finally back from the Taipei trip last night. I'm not trying to say there is NO fun there, but SINGAPORE IS MY HOME, THIS IS WHERE I BELONG. :)
My cousin's family and I reached the Airport in Taiwan (International Taoyuan Airport) at 5++pm. It was already dark over there. Cool breeze blew on us. "Brrrr ..." It was extremely cold there at about 15 Degree Celcius. *My lips is very dry now* We were waiting for "our" driver who scammed us NT$1000 which is equals to about SG$50 to fetch us to the hotel (Caesar Park Hotel) located opposite the Taipei Railway Station which is very convenient for us as we can travel by MRT（捷运） and their High Speed Train（高铁）.
Oh yes! When we reached our hotel, we met Karen Sis who is a Taiwanese and also my Ngoh Kin's (relative) niece. She acts as a part-time tour guide during this 5D4N trip. She is a nice, beautiful, lovely, and caring lady.
In Taiwan, everything is in Chinese. That's not so bad. However, the thing is ... ... ... Everything is in the Traditional Chinese which is a little difficult to understand. At there, we learnt their lingo too. *Actually it's abit irritating but we got used to it after awhile*
Okay.
Immediately when we were in our Hotel Room/s (1627 & 1628), I called HOME to report that I had safely reached Taipei. After slacking in the room for a while, we went to the Mall, next to our Hotel for our sumptuous dinner. We had Japanese meal for dinner. It smells and tastes very nice. *Thumbs up for the Grilled Fish Set I had eaten* Later, we walked to the underground of the railway station where there are shops for us to shop. From there, I got a bag, a pair of shoes, some souvenirs, some tops and most importantly, WINTER WEAR. We could not bear with the cold weather there and so, we bought a thick wool-ed jacket each to keep ourselves warm. After some shopping, we went back to the Hotel to rest at around 10++pm.
They have nice comedies, dramas, and many other shows to watch.
We turned in at around 11pm or 12++am during Day1.
Day2 was not very exciting as we thought. We woke up for breakfast cum lunch at a nearby shophouses. It was a shop selling noodles. Juleen and I had 'char jiang mian' while the rest ate Beef Noodles/Tea Noodles. It is neither nice nor not nice. Average.
After that, Aunt and Uncle went to a factory via cab, leaving us to shop around at Caesar Mall and the shops nearby our Hotel. We were just doing some window shopping as we thought we would be shopping till we drop in the night but we DIDN'T.
We went to XIMENDING in the night. Before leaving for Taiwan, I did some homework by checking out where's the BEST place to shop in Taipei and the web stated, "XIMENDING". But I did not get a single thing from there except having our dinner there as we did not have enough time. *Sob* The food there are cold but NICE. *Smile* We went back to the hotel after that.
The next morning, we ate at a FAMOUS food store where also located near our Hotel. THEY, also sell the same thing as what we ate the previous day. *Beef noodles is almost everywhere in their City* But, theirs' taste nicer though I had a different dish. It was very filling.
Later in the day, we went to Taichung via High Speed Train. This train is in its fullest speed which took us ONE hour to reach there from Taipei. Anyway, after alighting at Taichung, we need to take another half an hour car trip to a factory. In the car, it was very awkward to speak to the driver as my pronunciation in Mandarin is like ... ... I don't know, ... just CMI. I tried my very best to entertain all the questions 'posted' by him. I had difficulty pronouncing "shi" (ten in Mandarin). And I am very sorry, I really couldn't make up what he was saying when he spoke in English.
We went there for my Aunt and Uncle's business. In the factory, the only children who were Juleen, Julia and I + Yuni, sat behind during their meeting. We were crapping all along with our voices tuned down.
My lips was very dry since that day and I put on Yuni's lipbalm which caused my whole lips to turn red. I looked weird for the next few days. :/
After the meeting in Taichung, we went to Dan Shui where there are fashionable stuffs. On the MRT at around 4++pm, we saw the sunset!! What a beautiful scenery! We were so lucky that it was just nice at our station. So, we took tons of sunset's pictures. COOL!
At there, I bought afew souvenirs gifts for my clique and sister. Sorry brothers! But... OK. I regretted this part for not thinking wisely. Never mind. Then, we continued to look at shop until Uncle told us to go into this shop which seems that there are alot of "cute" stuffs in there. At first, we really thought the things are adorable though I saw some obscene accessories, but there are also non-obscene stuffs. "Hey, why did you all go into this shop?" said our Taiwanese Sister. "It reads "保险套"." Good grief! We ran out of the shop and laughed at each other. I can't recall how dumb I was that instant. I just find it very silly of us. HAHA! And yes! They have a very nice delicancy called 鸡蛋糕! The fragrance smells WOW, and it tastes WOW, and the name for it was even WOW! Haha.
After which, we went to the night market at ... ... I forgot where is it. Is it Gongguan? Forgotten. Never mind. I can still recall some parts of it like the 'City Jungle'.. Yep! We had our dinner there and experienced how their night market works. They have alot small stores (like market) selling food. In short, it's like our KOPITIAM. I had fired oyster omelette. Quite nice! And their shops should be NICE, just that we don't have time to walk around.
On the fourth day, was our last official day to SHOP around. Frankly speaking, I forgot where we went.:S *Will update when I've recall, sorry.*
*RECALLED!*
We rushed to buy 'first sight love' things as we were afraid that Karen Sis will come reached our Hotel even before we reached our Hotel, so we rushed. As we widen our steps, the COLD breeze "chiong" towards us. Wahsai! Cool man! *I miss the gust of cooling wind* HAHA! xD So we got what we wanted except for the MICKEY stuffs as they do not open so early. YA! Certain Taiwan shops usually doesn't open in the morning. In the morning 11am to 12nn, you'll still see quite a number of shops' shuttle not open.
Okay, after that, we took a train down to Taipei 101. Near Taipei 101, we spotted Grand Hyatt Hotel and went there to take many many pictures. At there, I felt the Christmas season is nearing. Woohoo~! OK, then, we went to the IT Fair which doesn't really attracts me.. Neither does it attracts Julia and Juleen. HA! Finally, we headed towards TAIPEI 101! However, it looks like Paragon to me. For those people does for Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and so on... I don't like it. Okay, so, instead, we went there for a seat. =.= HA. Cause we were really tired after a LONG walk. I felt my knee's joints were going to disconnect. It can be really that exaggerating after those walks from the MRT station, to the Hotel, to the Fair and to the Shopping Centre.
Later in the evening, we walked even MORE! We walked down afew streets just to get this cakes from a very professional nice smelling shop. Their cakes are simply YUMMILICIOUS!:) Nice! I bought home for my family. *How filial* HAHA!! Joking. Since it is so far and we almost loss our way, we took a cab back to our Hotel. Finally, I could have some leg rest again. HEHEHE!
Now, after the long walk, we still have to walk. It was because of getting Julia's Mario stylus for her NDS which costs around SGD4 I think. Then, we continued strolling down to this MICKEY shop, but they were closed! Ahhh, we were very disappointed. However, my smarty Aunt plead the boss to let us in and YES, WE GOT IN! I bought caps from there.
Anyway, near our Hotel, there is this shopping mall call, "新光三越". It looks like OG in Singapore to me, didn't get any stuffs from there anyway. xP
The last day which is on the 1st of December. We went for our last round of shopping in Caesar Mall. Then, we walked to the EVER MOST CONVENIENT "bus-stop" to wait for our bus to the Taoyuan International Airport which took us 1hour. We had our dinner at 5pm in the Airport and checked-in at around 5++pm. We got into the plane and fly back to Singapore and this is how I am back to SINGAPORE!!! :)) HEHEHE! xP
