10 this month!!

Haha thanks to the holiday and christmas season, I managed to sell 10 sets of macintosh system till now. Hopefully I can hit beyond that by the end of this month.

I realized that due to my work I have been neglecting the activities for my table tennis club and the preparation for my OCIP project. Must make up for it when school starts when I only work on Saturday.

Went to cousin Zaiwei's wedding dinner last Saturday. Photos uploading soon.

Road show and a very shrewd uncle

Okay this was my fourth roadshow and I have to admit that this is the worst road show I ever had. 15 plus part timer was there for this road show and even if Im the top sales for the first 3 I would have done rather bad for this also. How do I put it. I mean lets just do a simple calculation, if 20 people are interested and there are 5 partimers, then chances are each part timer can get 4 sales. Now if there are 15 part timers, each part timer can only close 1-2. This case I would rather do show room instead cos don have to say that much even though lesser commission.

There was too many part timers and worst of all they were those kind of kids without experience. They will just rush to anyone they have in sight without seeing who actually serve the customer first. This ends up unhappiness among those kids themselves. I'm happy as I can help these kids if they have any questions ;)

Okay seems that IMM saved me from all the mess. I worked in IMM today helping ZJ cos IMM was short of man power. When ZJ was not around I happened to serve this old man with long brows and glowing face like those wise old man in the movie. He asked me if our shop has Leopard OS in a very strong tone because I couldn hear him for the first. Then I showed him the Leopard OS and he said it was expensive. Finally after some explanation he bought it. So during payment he asked me

Old Man: How long have u been working here?
Me: Eh 3 months plus to 4
Old Man: Then you seem rather inexperience
Me: Because I am a part timer and I don't work everyday
Old Man: So which school are you from?
Me: (Pause) University (Pause) SMU
Old Man: The Bras Basah one?
Me: Yeah

Then ZJ came back and wanted to explain to him about the lucky draw in English.

ZJ: (In Chinese) Okie now we have a lucky draw...
Old Man: Okay even though I am a chinese can you explain to me in English
ZJ: Okie (English)

Then after the payment the old man said

Old Man: 你有没有钉子？
Me: Huh?
Old Man: showing me the stapler hand sign
Me: Oh stapler you mean?
Old Man: Are you a foreigner?
Me: No
Old Man: Then how could you not understand the meaning?
Me: (Resilient) 钉子 could mean nail in English
Old Man: Thats a hard conversion for the meaning.

Then this old man requested me to write down my English and my Chinese name at the back of the receipt. This is the first time a customer has requested for it. Hmm... Damn strange but I got a feeling that this old man is not an ordinary old man.

Busy busy

Suddenly life has become so fruitful and yeah so busy after my school started. I have several tasks in hand which i need to do. Hmm...Let me see (Not in order of priority):

1. Work!! (For $$)
2. Community service (For CIP hours)
3. Table Tennis (Need to help organize events and talent scouting)
4. School projects and study!!
5. Stocks and investing learning (For more $$ of course)

Vattey, these are the reasons i can give as to why I didn have much time to update my blog these few weeks...hahaha. Anyway hope you like the mooncakes :)

Quite enjoy my community service though. It is like a distressing session every friday, making lots of new friends and playing nice games together.

ISTJs and their relationships

The ISTJ's word is as good as gold, and they honor their commitments faithfully. They believe that to do otherwise would be nothing less than a breach of honor and trustworthiness. Consequently, they take their vows very seriously, and once they have said "I do", that means they are bound to the relationship until "death do us apart" or otherwise. ISTJs are driven to fulfill their responsibilities and duties, and will do so with tireless effort. They will do their best to meet the obligations presented by the different relationship roles which they play during their lives, i.e. spouse, parent, offspring, etc. They may have difficulty showing warmth, but they frequently feel it in abundance, and most develop the ability to show it through sheer effort. If nothing else, the ISTJ holds the gold medal of all the personality types for Effort. They will put forth tremendous amounts of effort to accomplish goals which are important to them. If healthy relationships are among these goals, you can bet that the ISTJ will do everything that they can to foster and maintain healthy relationships.

Thanks Ken!

"anyway is good to find gf that loves u more"

Status: Amber

My status is amber now. For those who are thinking that if I'm on the verge of breaking up or on the verge of starting a relationship...........................................All wrong!! Haha. The amber status means those my unit is on alert, and it might get to red, which means activation!! I want my status red, but not for this kind of reason!! Lol...Never mind I need to protect the country. (Some of you might be already thinking, " Mai lai la" ) Haha!!

Hmm packed my field pack early this morning. Many thanks to Wei Ming, my ex-and-maybe- future gunner for sending me the list of stuffs i need to bring in case of acti. Gosh I really forgotten wat to bring already. To my surprise though, I realized that all my items are already packed!! Thanks to the good training I had received in Brunei..Lalala. This makes my packing even simpler

Hmm...I'm really thinking, what if I'm activated during my FTB camp...haa....

Simpsons and Imac

Watched The Simpsons Movie on Sunday. Even though the price of the ticket is $9.50, I have to say that the quality of the movie justifies the price of the ticket. I was laughing from the starting of the movie to the end. I still love Homer Simpson the most, cos hes real funny..haha. Even the simpsons are trying to use the movie to promote green movement. Hmm...faster grab the stocks for green companies!! Lol...

As I was typing this blog, I was actually following the news of the newest Imac. The webcam quality of the previous IMac is so good that even Bart Simpson loves it!! Haha.



Took pic with Eddis and Iska as well as the Homer and Bart Simpson during the latest mac roadshow@IMM. A bit blurry cos that helpful assistant obviously has shaky hands


Oh yah back to the release of IMac. Hmm... It looks a bit like IPhone to me actually, a larger version of it. (Photos courtesy of AppleInsider)






Too bad the heavily rumored touchpad keyboard is not released though. I'm sure Apple will release it one day.
