Nearly 2 Months!


Hi hi again.. It's been nearly 2 months since I last came up with an update. It's quite weird, cuz my last post was about me starting work, and now I'm about to end my vacation job at the airport! I am so eager to get out of there, not saying that work sucks or anything, but I'm just glad to be bumming around at home again, eating, watching the tele, sleeping (TILL ANYTIME I LIKE!!!) You can never have too much of anything tho' (that's why I got the job in the first place) :)

I know this sounds really narcisist, but I'm so proud of myself! For the first time in my entire life, I got my lazy bum up to work! And I mean a REAL JOB.. apart from the time in poly where I had an internship. Working as a sales girl in the airport opened my eyes. And trust me, being a seller ain't easy. You have to deal with demanding rich ladies who most probably haven't even worked in their entire life, loud-mouthed 'act-smart' people who think they know everything but can't afford anything (sour grapes syndrome, this especially applies to locals), and the everyday Q&A session with your colleages (esp the aunties) who will strike with one question, "Today open bill already?"... It's really annoying!

The competitiveness of the work environment will put someone working at the stock market to shame. Everyone's like a piranah vying for that juicy piece of meat. A lot of talking behind your backs too.. And especially when you're working in a smaller environment like a boutique, it's just extremely unfortunate if your colleage happens to be a lying tattle-tale who's out for only herself and no one else. It's worse when that person is two-faced and is the most uncooperative. Oh well, you meet all kinds of people, makes life more interesting.

But amidst the chaos, I still like working at the airport. I'd say that 70% of my customers were genuinely nice people, and there were a couple of gems for co-workers.
Their hearts were there to help the newbies, and there was no intention of talking to you just to find out how bad/good your sales were. And since I'm only 20, I saw life through many of their eyes when they told me about their stories. I'm sure I'll feel a little sad when I'm leaving on the 30th, but in time to come, I'm sure I'll meet them again when I visit the airport.

All in all, I'm grateful for that chance to work at the airport.. At least I can tell myself that I'm not a 'good-for-nothing'.

Btw, I won 2nd place at the iPod Nano design competition! Got the tablet and the Nano!

God gave me a blessed time this holiday and I really thank Him for that! :)
