Was doing my canvassing at raffles place today when someone called out my name...i look up n saw this familiar gal but didn't make out who she was....after a clearer look i realise its my pri/sec fren....she has definitely change alot...prettier in a way....had a chat with her on wats happening in each others life n realise tat she has juz started work at OCBC selling financial products...basic pay itself is ald $2400 !!! still got commission n transport n hp coverage juz like me....OMG!!! can't believe her basic is so damn high for a start...she was telling me tat her fren whos working inside is earning 10k...Seriously comparing my basic to hers is like 1/3 only la...n i've to work alot much harder...trying to hide frm security guard n put up with some nasty pples attitude...well...im not complaining much cos i still like wat im doing...everyday is not a routine n i get to meet different kinds of pple frm all aspect of life...

Today i went to crash into this co. cos the PIC said they had a proposal frm our competitor already n if we wan to propose something we shd juz send an email quotation...however my boss said we shd drop by the office n better understand the situation n build some rapport...so we went down....i went into the office n ask to speak to Madelene....the recep directed me to her table n b4 i cld even get near....Madelene suddenly stood up n ask me to stay where i m....as if i have some sort of virus or something....u shd see her expression...i haven even said a single word n she was like so defensive.....when i was introducing myself her expression n reaction was very defensive...said she was bz now...den my boss who was beside me came into our conversation n told her our main motive here is juz to drop by n say 'hi' only....thruout our conversation her attitude was rather stuck up la...after we left the office my boss kept laughing n we both agreed tat this person muz be feeling very inferior of herself....damn weird sia...this is y i love my job...i get to meet this kinda weird pple n after tat laugh to myself abt it...hahaa...

After canvassing for the past few wks i realise tat most of the pretty receptionist whom i've met have a bad attitude....walk into an office today n saw this rilly pretty receptionist...however when i spoke to her she was damn stuck up...seriously i dun like the way she talk...think shes pretty den can get her own way....shes only a receptionist for goodness sake...well...i guess god is fair...good looks compensate for their character

My six sense was right afterall...spoke to her on msn n wat i tot was happening was actually happening...oh well...shes leaving again this wkend...haizz...

I walk alone~

Last fri i took the half day to meet YN...drove to her place to pick her up b4 heading towards causeway point...i can even count the no. of times i've gone to tat shopping mall...1st time was wif my ex....2nd n nw 3rd time was wif YN again....we totally forgotten y in the world did we go to such a far place the other time but we remembered having gelare ice cream there...lol~....well...this time she was meeting her fren in the evening n pass her some stuff so we ended up at causeway point to catch a movie while waiting for her fren to come...we had pasta mania for lunch...its been yrs since i last ate pasta mania...im not usually keen on it cos the portion seem to be very small for my hungry stomach....however im quite surprise tat i got full after eating...last time i cld finish up the meal wifout feeling full at all...perhaps the portion tat they give has increase? im not sure.....anyway we watch 'Hairspray' which reminds me of tat nite dancing with porkchop....haha...the main char is exactly like the porkchop i met tat nite....u guys shd go and watch if u wanna have a good laugh...tho the show is corny n musical...i felt tat it was quite a good show...when the movie ended YN n i realised we were surrounded by pri and sec kids....lol~....it made us felt so old among them plus i was wearing formal long sleeve with a tie...OMG!! Time rilly flies....to think tat i cld still remember the sec sch days tat my frenz n i will catch a movie on this particular day every wk after sch becos of the discount....N now we're all working n studying in uni...how i wish i cld be back in my sec sch days....no financial worries or burden to carry...juz study n have fun in sch...haiz...my meet up wif YN wasn't juz abt the movie but more of a catch up on was happening in each others life....gathered some info frm her regarding someone...maybe its time i start on my operation 'XXX'

After which i left causeway pt n met up wif jul kenn n stephen at Great world city to catch another movie...this time its 'Bourne Ultimatum'....it seems like im watching a movie marathon...rushing frm woodlands all the way to great world juz to catch another show....its definitely worth watching tho considering the fact tat the previous 2 sequel was awesome...this final sequel was very much like the previous 2 sequel with action thruout like a cat chasing a mouse game...however i was too tired n dose off 2 times during the show...maybe its becos i was sitting too near the screen n the show had some jerky scenes in it which contributed to my sleepiness

My job hasn't been exactly smooth as it might seem....been doing telemarketing n going for appts lately but so far im not close to closing any deal yet....dunno if its becos of my boss whos doing most of the sales pitch....i felt tat sometimes my boss sales pitch ain't impressive or attractive to make them wan to purchase the machine....hes very conservative with regards to the quotation n likes to take things slowly...as if playing hard to get....I not quite sure if this rilly works becos someone actually claim he use to be a top salesman b4...but im skeptical abt it...Looking on the bright side...i still have a few more appts with some of the co. this wk...hopefully can find some potential prospect...staying in the office to do telemarketing is such a bore....i rather go out and canvass...at least i can relax at 'ya kun' or 'coffee bean' as and when i like...oh well...thank goodness im nt working 8-5 in the office as a admin personal otherwise i'll definitely be bored to death...i still like my sales job tho less the telemarketing part...wld be better if i can go for appts on my own in future

There she goes again
without a word without a doubt
Was it a lie again
or was it the truth
Was she busy again
or was it just another excuse
The gleam of hope again
seems to be fading as time pass
This pain i feel again
will it last through the night
or will it last forever
All i can do again
is wish for a better tomorrow
for tomorrow is still a mystery no one knows

Sat went to wanted to catch rush hr 3 or bourne at marina sq but the place was totally pack wif people...needless to say we cldn't get any tix....hence we went for early dinner at NYDC suntec...almost all the restaurants in marina sq had a long queue which was due to the fact tat there wld be fireworks at 9pm....Not wanting to miss out the fireworks...we made our way to esplanade area to view the fireworks...however there wasn't a very good place for us to stand as it was infested with 'brown sugar'....therefore we decided to go over to the merlion area...i suppose this will be my last time going to view fireworks at tat area cos i hate the feeling of having to squeeze my way thru to get a good spot...worse still when the thing end i had to squeeze my way out of the human traffic...sibei sianz...next time i rather book a hotel nearby n view frm the balcony instead...wldn't it be better? anyway it was worth the wait becos it has been a while since i last saw fireworks...the performance was great esp. the last part where they had sound effects when they were shooting the fireworks...totally magnificent!

After tat i went back to take the car out while waiting for SY....didn't noe she actually live so near me...juz a 5 mins drive to reach her place....invited her to join my frenz for supper since jul kenn n stephen were all waiting for me....eh guys...is not i purposely wan to be late is pple late den i bo bian gotta wait for her...haizzz....always kena scolding by jul becos of other gals who make me late...had prata for supper for 2 consecutively days....lol~ think the one at sembawang still better rite...Later brought SY to kent ridge since we were ard the area b4 sending her home

Haizz...so sian lately....everyday after work seems to be a routine...come home eat play sleep...how i wish tat 'someone' was ard...i have a few movies in mind still haven watch...argh...

Well...so far my job hasn't been smooth...i nearly close a case becos the IT n finance manager were convince tat our proposal was good however the MD was stingy with the extra cost the co. have to bear per mth...so in the end the case wasn't close....however over the past few days i've definitely gain some experience in terms of negotiation tats not taught in textbook...today i learn how to take a step back n discredit my competitors if theres no chance of winning the case by matching competitors proposal...so wat we do is spoil the market by revealing to customers the hidden cost tat r actually incurred....advising them not to upgrade their copier....by doing tat we discredit their trust in our competitor n propose a new machine instead of upgrading their current copier....this is another sales tactic tat i've learn....however at the end of the day it depends whether the customer eats our bait...at least theres a slight chance of winning the case

After doing telemarketing for the past 2 days...making numerous phone calls to co. to offer them an upgrade n hopefully make some appts....i manage to get 2 appts next wk n 1 more the wk after...i still have a few more pending...i find tat im actually more confident to speak on the phone with people now...my speech has improve tremendously n i manage to trick 3 of my frenz by telling stories abt them winning lucky draw n having to go for reservist....haha....GOTCHA!!!! anyway....i was bored in the office so i made those nuisance call la...paisei...

An interesting quote from someone i met today....He said "y i want to go into sales when the basic is so little n even tho i have a degree? its becos only sales can give u a high salary n the sky is my limit." True or false? u decide...

Bought a N76 model from singtel bugis yesterday...A new hp was one of the things i wanted to get once i ORD...no more using my louya hp without camera n mp3 already....nw i finally had a phone which i can use with pride....wat i like best abt this phone is tat its a flip phone...i've been searching for a nokia flip phone with some basics functions like mp3 in it so the N76 fits the ideal phone tat im looking for...wats more unique abt this is the colour of the phone...it comes in RED!!! this is one of the only phone in the market tats come in red...very outstanding from afar...i was having a dilemma between the black which looks very sleek n class or the red one which look very fashionable n outstanding....in the end i chose the red cos my dad felt tat the colour was suitable for young pple like me...hence i took the red colour...haha....its my first time using 3G phone so i was kinda nerd when configuring the phone.....all thanks to HX who owns a N76 too n taught me how to configure the phone...I love my new hp....no regrets buying it!

Took Sai-kang cheung for a bath in the afternoon...haven been taking good care of it since i was in army...nw tat im out i have more time for myself n this cute little fellow...this fellow can rilly run very fast! probably due to his routine exercise on the treadmill during the night....i always see him exercising at nite...my previous hamster was so lazy n didn't even bother to use the treadmill...at least sai-kang cheung noes how to keep itself fit....this fellow is so cute tat my dad wanted to buy another one to accompany it but my mum disagrees to it as she feels they might fight with each other...welll...below r some pics of sai-kang cheung

Came back from work rilly tired today...did canvassing again....this time i was lucky to find a tenant who needs a copier urgently....i'll be having my 1st appt with her tml morning...hopefully she accepts our proposal n close the deal by the end of this mth den i can get the commission...hehe....from the looks of it this job requires not juz selling the features of the product but negotiation skills plays an important role too...i'll observe how my boss negotiate with them tml...hope i can pick up some new skills for future use :)

My latest clubbing outing to celebrate jackson bday....Happy bday to jackson whos bday is on national day...some pics to sum up the entire night

The young and suave

stephen n his new found gal

Me n my Porkchop :P

My 1st day canvassing for Fuji Xerox was damn tiring...was assigned to canvass at raffles place...visited more than 80 co. n got a total of 74 name cards and complimentary slip in total...this is the 1st time i've been to so many co. in a single day...at first i was very nervous talking to strangers esp. big bosses but after a few approaches i got the hang of it n my talking became more smooth...however something interesting happen...i got chased out by security at republic plaza after the security realise i was going floor to floor....haha...anyway...my target was suppose to get 84 name cards for 7 hrs but i din manage to achieve it cos i slack too much...i took breaks in between...somehow i feel relax juz sitting in the middle of raffles place observing business pple rushing from point to point...i even bought a coffee at coffee bean n nuah there for the last 1 hr...my boss came to pick me back to office at 6pm...had a short meeting in the office n filter out the high prospect customers...by the time i left office was 8pm already...so late rite...well...can't complain since my working hrs is flexible....tats wat i like abt sales...comparing this job to my previous job i feel tat the rejection rates r lower cos its more of a corporate sale nw....they tend to entertain u more cos they noe its a necessity for their daily work...therefore they r glad tat i was there visiting their co....i've got some interested co. looking into changing a new copier.....hopefully i can get some appointments by next wk...n by the end of this mth i can close a deal

The day i've been looking forward has finally arrive...6th AUG 07!!! i can finally shout out ORD LOH....Looking back at the 1yr 10mths spend in the army...all i can say is tat army makes me a better person in terms of EQ and personality...i learn to put up with things tat seem to be unfair...suffer in silence as theres nothing much u can do abt it...i will never forget the days when i was a chao recruit in BMT. The many route marches which i hate most...the amt of fitness exercise we had to undergo to keep it and of the the rushing from point to point as time was very crucial in BMT...After tat i was posted to SISPEC (Suffer In Silence Plus Extra Confinement)....this was one of the toughest time i had in my entire army...Being in Bravo coy was one the 'lucky' thing tat can happen to me...it was the most shiong co. among the rest...we had outfield training every single day...leave camp early in the morning n we only come back late at nite...everyday was hectic n tiring with lots of combat skills to learn...not forgetting the amt of load we had to carry while doing section movement...After all the suffering i was posted to one of the slackest vocation in army....SIGNAL! i muz say tat signal institute is one of the slackest place in the army...all we had to do was attend lectures n self learning software on the computer...not much fitness training at all...However upon graduation i was posted to 3 signal Bn...one of the most active units in s'pore...Life in 3 signal BN was damn shiong...almost every wk we had to move out for exercise...there were so many things to do...preparation for wallaby...LAB checks....Tourmaline...Enhance TCS trial...n the amt of sai kang was enough to make us hate the place...comparing ourselves to other co. my co. was always the one doing sai kang...we can only blame it on the management style n resign to fate tat we r in such a fuck up co. However this is also the place where we build our character...putting up with all the shit n following instructions...tho there were many tough times we went thru together as a co. which made our bond among each other stronger...the frenz i made in army is invaluable...it is only thru tough times tat u can see someone true colours...i will definitely miss the grp of frenz tat i've slept with in the same bunk for the past 1 yr....we share many joy n sorrows together altho there were occasional conflicts among us but we still manage to resolve n work together

These memories i have in the army will always be treasured~

This is definitely going into the record book...juz got off the phone wif HX after 3 hrs!!! can u believe we were actually on the phone for 3 freaking hrs?? omg...frm seeing the moon in the sky to seeing the sunrise the next morning...wats more amazing is tat this is our 1st conversation on the phone n i hardly contact her except for a few smses the previous day regarding some hp stuff...oh well...this rilly freaks me out nw la...imagine toking to someone whom i dun rilly noe for so long on the phone...even my ex gf we dun tok tat long lor...my record wif her was only 2 hrs...guess sometimes it doesn't matter how long u noe a person b4 u can keep a conversation going....as long as u feel comfortable toking to the other party everything is fine...she was actually confiding in me with her personal problems which i wun mention here of cos...well...all i have to say is life is unfair...so live life happily rather than thinking of the unhappy stuff...once u fall u muz learn to pick urself up from when u fall n move on...learn the mistakes which u made in the past n tats how u will eventually become stronger

Right now if u ask me whether i wanna be in a relationship...my ans is NO...not tat i have no one tats worth going after but imagine all the nonsense u have to put up with when ur gf gets mood swing...all the smses n toking u have to do on the phone wif her...i juz can't stand it...i wan my freedom...all im looking for is a companion...someone who will be there for me when i need them...not someone to tie me down...maybe im too use to being single tats y im feeling this way
