Spending Spree

Off day ... It has been long since i last have my real off day ... Well, considering for the past few off days, i needed to go around servicing computer and setting up streamyx. But hey, it is a good thing still since i am still receiving money for my service. Can't really complain. LOL

So ... Off day starts with a good chat with my cousin sister who just came back from Sabah upon finishing her final semester exam at UMS. Coming back for her intern with a company that will be paying her rm500 per month for three months. Cheap labour is her description. ^^ Later on ... Asked my mom to go shopping for books at Mid Valley. Well, i had not buy any books since i started to work. Hmm ... It is time i spend some of my salary on books. Muahah. So, went to Mid Valley at around 11am. First stop. Sport shop. LOL. Making MPH the final destination because i tend to spend at least half an hour inside choosing some books to fill in my leisure time. Hehe. Instead of looking for basketball shoes, i was looking for basketball this time around. Intend to buy a new one since my basketballs are all starting to feel out of shape. LOL. Besides looking for balls, me and my mom do some window shopping on some basketball shoes for my brother. Well, since his basketball shoes has started to lose its grip, maybe it is time he change a new one. Just giving my mom some idea on what basketball shoes they should look for the very next time they went out to shopping with my brother.

Next stop, we went to some computer shops since i will be buying myself a laptop in near future. Went into Asus,Dell, Acer,HP and Lenovo. The best service attitude goes to Lenovo because it is the only shop where its salesperson really serve me and my mom. Hahaz. Besides browsing for laptops, i take this chance to do a bit of homework and that is to survey the price of accessories at Mid Valley's computer shops. Well, not much difference to be frank. Just around at most rm 10. It makes me felt my boss is 'throwing' the price of accessories at our counter which means i am earning my commission like a few cent everytime i sell an item at my counter. Sad...

After visting the few shops enlisted above, we went to MPH. At last ... But is is kinda sad when i found out that Simon Scarrow's books are no longer available in MPH. I am still missing out a few books written by him. Well, life goes on so i pick a few other historical fiction books written by other authors instead. Seems interesting at first glance ^^ Back from Mid Valley at around 1.30pm. Went back out to Cheras Leisure Mall at the evening to watch Star Trek with K Meng, C beng, Chia Chun and Difu. Hmm ... Out of ten, i will give this movie a 7.5. It was indeed a good movie. Likes it plot and special effects. Indeed, i spent my RM7 wisely this time ! LOL

Dinner at night was to celebrate Mother's Day. Ho Ho Ho.

So... overall spendings for today will be RM 150(books) + RM 90(dinner) + RM 20 (movie) = RM 260. Indeed, i did my first spending spree for the first time since i started to work. Ho Ho Ho

Oik ... before i end this, i came by these few pictures in my mobile phone when i was so free that i check the pictures out in my mobile phone. LOL. Enjoy !

On my way back home ...

Wesak Day

Arrr ... Equine again this time around. Period of working is 12pm till 10pm. Good or bad ? Well, let's review what i did since 12pm... Sold two laptops. RM1699 + one order for dell mini 12(rm50 for booking fee). Then, stick some price tags on some of the items sold in Equine. Equine is darn short of price tag so i am using the price tags done at Cheras Selatan. LOL. The price tags at Equine are mostly imported from Cheras Selatan now since their most senior salesperson, Miss Jun is not around for two months. Sad story behind it. Personal reason so no point on evaluating too much on that. Ho ho.

Done with the price tags ? Yap. Then went for a two hours yum cha session with Ah Loon, my senior a.k.a KL outlets sales leader. LOL. Talk about those nonsense stuff, computer stuffs, sales, technical stuff and life insight. Well, better than sitting our ass at the counter doing nothing. So, that is how we, SNS Network staffs spend our time in Jusco Equine working. Bad and good. We had done it all. Muahaha. Well, as long as the monthly sales is taken cared of, we can just do anything without getting too much trouble from our Ipoh HQ. They want sales ! So, let's just let them look at the figures. Keep a little bit of low profile on how we work here. LOL

And now, my senior has went back to tend to his personal activities. He was back at around 5.30pm. He was due to out at 6pm. Well, that is how we work at Equine. One person at the counter is more than enough. So, one come, one go. Doesn't matter what time that person work until. Relax... Help help cover ... Take care of sales ... Everything done nicely and perfectly ... There ! No people from the HQ will come to disturb us. Though what we did or how we work here will definitely give the HQ people a big headache, as long as our boss likes what he sees, we can work the way we wanted. Everything just came back to sales. That is how things or system works here at SNS Network. Only in KL outlets. LOL

Hmm ... I still can't believe today is holiday cause things seems to be so "no people" here. No people = no sales. Untill now, i have only sold a total of rm65 for acc sales. Sad ...

Well, anyways ... At here, i can go at around 9.30pm. So, everything that is bad has a good thing behind it. Well ... Life is so deep in details when you try to read it more and more. ~Complicated yet too real~

By the way, yesterday night was a great time spend together with a bunch of friends. Kinda keep me update with what is happening in our circle of friendship. Kah Wei is in a relationship, Siew Ling is as well. Well, i think given a few more months, a few more couples will arise. LOL. Looking forward to it.

K then. Back to work i guess... Sayonara ~~~~

Jusco Equine

Lol ... Seems like it has been months since i last update my blog for real. Well, uploading those lyrics doesn't really count as updating my blog i guess. Hehe.

Anyways, since i am working in at Jusco Equine today and the customer population here is far more worse compare to Jusco Cheras Selatan, i had decided to take out the Dell 1525 display laptop to fill up my time. Of course, the main reason for me to update my blog at this time around is out of the boringness of sitting myself deadroot on this plastic chair. LOL

So ... did nothing much actually with this nice laptop. Surf the net for some information about broadbands since i felt myself still undeniably unknown to broadband services. The procedures of selling it was there but the points of selling it was just an alien thing for me. I was demanding myself to go deeper into the knowledge of broadband especially Celcom and Streamyx. Celcom broadband. Well, i must say i am impress with its connectivity in Malaysia. Though it was condemned by a hell lot of Johor fellas, but the major users from KL, Selangor and Penang was giving back some positive feedbacks. A good selling point indeed since i am working in Selangor. Who want celcom ? Can apply with me! LOL. Besides, from the forum and articles i read, Celcom Broadband, for now ... has the most stabil connectivity and biggest coverage(71%) in Malaysia. So, the placing will be like this ... Celcom ok la, Maxis hmmm, P1 Wimax huh ? ...

Please people, don't compare streamyx with these broadbands services. It is very unfair to TM because streamyx is a line connected services while those broadbands are all 3G. Ho ho. To be honest, if i was given the choice to choose between streamyx and broadbands, i will rather go for streamyx unless i am a businessman. Needs... For students and home user, don't complain too much about your connections and don't compare it with our singapore neighbours. They are using optical fibre while we, the so called second world nation is still staying in the copper age. Realise that ! In my opinion, streamyx is still the better choice because of its connection stability. Note ! I said stability and not download or upload speed. LOL. I did a check up for the speed in speedtest.net for my connection speed in Jusco Equine and Jusco Cheras Selatan. Both places are using streamyx lines but i can go on WiFi because the main modem was a wireless modem. Plus, SNS Network's staff are nice people so we get along quite well and that is how we came get the permission to borrow their lines. Ngek ngek ngek ^^ Anyway, i was impressed actually with the speed test. 1.44 mbps for downloading and 0.32mbps for uploading. I was dumbfounded when i first saw the digits. Is this true ?*screw my face* Yap folks, it is true. Darn true. Plus, streamyx can go to places where broadband cannot. Just apply for a telephone line then done ! Compared to a broadband, the company will need to fork out few millions to build a signal station. SAD ...

Ok. Done with my nonsense about what i retail here though actually i was trying to do some sales through blogspot. JOKING !!! Hehe.

Hmm ... One more month before i get to know which public university i will be going. I was worrying i will not be able to get a place but heck, worrying was no good since the result will be out on the third week of June. Might as well just wait. In the meantime, learning some ways to earn money as well as learning up the ways to read the real world. Only few months at SNS Network, i found myself facing different kind of people everyday as well as learning how to deal with them in many different ways. I was scolded, hated, misunderstood,liked, complimented,lied, played and etc by customers. I always thought being a good salesperson is to work hard, have a good attitude toward your work and customer and always pray for a bit of good luck by your side. Yet, slowly i came to realise, a good salesperson is not actually good as we know.The greatest weapon a salesperson must have is not how you sell your product but instead the ability to gain your customer's trust. TRUST is a strong word in business line. Because of trust, i buy your product. Because of trust, i give you my trust. Because of trust, i am able to give you my money light heartedly. See how powerful a word can do to people ? However, the part of gaining your customer's trust is the hardest part. Dealing the different people with the same selling point is hard enough. Connecting with customer's understanding is the next step to be taken. Giving customer something that will let themselve felt they gain the advantage while not making yourself lose anything is the sales closing point. In other words, a salesperson needs to be sly enough and smart enough to calculate the lost and gain in his own sales while not making the side he is dealing with to feel they are making a losing deal. Three difficult steps i found and to learn these, i will need time. But well, i think i'll just get to know the introduction first. Still want to study. He he he. The way to make money through socialising and through selling is two very different things but somehow, they are connected at a point. LOL

Well, enough of my days. Haha. Hmmm, there is one thing i was thinking everyday. How is everyone ? HO HO HO ... hope you are all healthy and happy everyday ! Steady ...

Till the next blog *dunno in how many thousand years* LOL. CHIAOZ

The Gift

It's funny how it starts, just how it all begins.
You get your sights on dreams,and man a thousand different things.
You are on for yourself,you're chasing cool desire.
You get addicted fast, but man you're playin' with fire.

Then there's a day that comes to you.
When you get all you want, but there's a space inside that's still as empty as it was.
'Till an angel comes your way and man she's fallin fast.
You know she's so in need but she is to afraid to ask.

So you hold on out your hands and catch her best you can.
And in givin' love you feel a better man.

And the gift is what you get by givin' more than you receive.
And you're learnin' fast that maybe this is how you'll be happy.
'Cause in takin' everything you lost, the air you need to breath.
But in givin' it away, you found the precious thing you seek.

Man, it's funny how she smiles, how grateful she is now.
And how that touches me deep in my heart somehow.
Yet the mirror laughs at me when I forget myself.
When I complain about, this hand that I got dealt.

And if I had know before, how much she would change my life.
I'd sure go back in time and tell that guy ...hey, man.
You can do better than this, you can answer your prayers.
You can grant your own wish.

Just hold on out your hands and give the most you can.
And I swear to you you'll feel a better man.

And the gift is what you get by givin' more than you receive.
And you're learnin' fast that maybe this is how you'll be happy.
'Cause in takin' everything you lost, the air you need to breath.
But in givin' it away, you found the precious thing you seek.

And it's better by far to do what you do now.
And leave the rest to love.
Just be strong in who you are.
Once you start on that road.
You're safe in the knowledge.
That anyway you go.
Will lead you home.

And the gift is what you get by givin' more than you receive.
And you're learnin' fast that maybe this is how you'll be happy.
'Cause in takin' everything you lost, the air you need to breath.
But in givin' it away, you found the precious thing you seek.

So precious precious precious...

What If

When Everyone talks and nobody listens
The message is harder to hear
If nobody bends, something gets broken
And somebody pays with their tears
If we never reach out,then no one comes in
How can we change what is

What if we did what hearts are for
Opened up every door
We could be so much more
What if we give more than we take
What if we don't turn away
We'll never look back and say,what if

If we were one road,how far could we travel
And where would this journey lead
If we were a mountain as tall as forever
I wonder how far we could see
If we only reach up and never look down
A dream is as close as a wish

What if we did what hearts are for
Opened up every door
We could be so much more
What if we give more than we take
What if we don't turn away
We'll never look back and say,what if

We try to find the answers beneath the wisdom tree
When love alone will lead us to everything we need
When we don't know where to go,maybe we already know

What if we did what hearts are for
Opened up every door
We could be so much more
What if we give more than we take
What if we don't turn away
We'll never look back and say,what if

What if we did what hearts are for
Opened up every door
We could be so much more
What if we give more than we take
What if we don't turn away
We'll never look back and say,what if
