R has officially quit the co. cos she cldn't take it anymore...canvassing is very tough esp. when shes canvassing at the outskirts of s'pore...i tried to help her once to canvass n i myself cldn't take the heat and long walking distance from co. to co. Thats y i noe how she feels when she told me she cannot take this anymore...she said tat her feet r not meant for walking long and its an insult to her dignity to canvass those industrial area and let other men see her with lust in their eyes...Moreover our bosses seem to be picking on her cos of the quantity of namecards she collected each day...Therefore she has decided to quit after getting her pay this mth....i suppose its a good thing for her cos this job is rilly too tough for a gal to take...i never felt tat this job is suited for a gal cos of the amt of work u have to do...the fact tat she has persevered for a few mths ald shows tat she has tried her best to adapt to it...however its too much for her...even i myself is intending to quit at the end of the mth

Last tues while waiting for R in the Car to pick her up to my place...something strange happen...a guy walked towards my car n told me tat theres a calling frm God to bless me....he said tat God told him to translate the msg to me n he was struggling to do so cos it was in the middle of the nite n pple might think tat hes crazy....however he told himself tat if im still waiting in the car when he walks back den he'll talk to me...Therefore when he saw me still waiting in the car he simply came up n translate this msg to me n ask me if theres anything i need him to pray for...later he also gave me a verse frm Psalms 42....so i chatted wif him till R came down...

Fri i took leave n met up with R at Tanjong pagar after her interview with an advertising co. Her schmate daniel was actually waiting for her in the morning at the co. itself b4 her interview to have lunch after tat not knowing she was meeting me already...hehe...so he was feeling kinda awkward when he saw me appearing....oh well...cannot blame him for trying to chase R cos he also dunno R is actually wif me....anyway after tat we went Suntec and shop ard....bought lots of food n drinks back to her place...saw her mum n greeted her...her mum is also into singing...same as my parents...singing those hokkien n canto songs...lol~...meantime zz jio me to play MJ n so we went over to cass hse for MJ session...Well...R n me shared one leg n i muz say tat R is damn pro sia...much better than anyone of us n i learn quite alot frm her...one thing is tat she play tat time dun need to arrange tiles one...all the tiles jump here n there still can visualise n throw tiles accordingly...another thing is tat she plays like "AKAGI!!!" (im serious!!)....pple throw tiles for her to eat she dun eat lor...even if its a ka long card....she still choose not to take frm the person n decides to draw a tile on her own...i let her play most of the rds n in the end we won 50 bucks....lol~....

Sunday nite was out drinking with R's frenz at pump room....her stewardess fren cindy n her other schmate raymond n his fren....we ordered lindauer champagne which tasted amazingly nice to me....the good thing abt it is tat the alcohol % is low...However for some reasons R was totally drunk...probably becos she went to mix stout which was offered to her after she drank champagne...pple say cannot mix beer with champage or wine otherwise u'll get drunk very quickly n its proven tat nite....Normally R is a very good drinker...she can finish one whole jug of beer by herself but tat nite she totally gone sia....lucky Cindy was in the car with me to take care of her...

I decided not to go to work on Mon since it was so late by the time i got home....n bluff my boss tat i was in taipei....wanted to go back to work on tues but R persuaded me not to cos theres no point going to canvass for new customer since im going to quit also....wat for get new customers for them when later they dun pay my commission becos of installation in the next mth again...So met R for lunch instead n accompanied her to run some errands n lastly had our hair done at Jantzen salon at Simei...i simply cut n wash my hair at $20 while she trim n coloured hers n tat cost her $173...so ex sia!!! The way R spends money is rilly scary...recently she spent $700 plus on pedicure n nw $100 over for hair...damn jialat sia...tats 1 mth of my basic pay....lucky she still has her savings to cover her expenditure each mth...

Alrite...Must go work on wed already otherwise my boss surely KB me....never go work for 3 days le....hehe...meantime im applying other jobs....SIA is recruiting pple as air steward....Hmmm....wonder if i shd giv it a try~

Life at work is getting more n more regimental...my bosses are trying to impose more rules and regulations in the co. cos they probably think that we have slacken...things like checking on our daily canvass slips and whereabouts...making it compulsory to key our leads into the database...a fine of 2 dollars for those who report late into the office (unfortunately i have always been the victim)....staying back late to do report and meetings...Im getting sick of their rules and regulations already....if not for my outstanding commission tat they owe me i wld have quit the co. ....the thing im most fed up with is tat they wun pay my my commission until the machine is installed in the customers premise....fair enough rite...however they have a stock issue at Fuji Xerox and they are unable to deliver any machines to the customer even tho financing has been approve and documents has been signed....therefore i have outstanding commission tat has not been paid to me due to the fact tat the machines have not been installed....i find this total crap when i realise tat in an event i quit b4 the machine is installed i will not be entitled to the commission even tho i've sold the machine to the customer...COMMISSION IS ONLY BASE ON INSTALLATION!!!! Fuck sia...Becos of this they owe me 5k of commission for the mth of Oct....nw i have to wait till dec 10th b4 i can get my next commission payout and tats provided all my outstanding machines are installed in nov!!!! For the past 2 mths i've manage to bring in 104k of sales revenue to the co. already....16k sales revenue more to become a confirm staff n get an extra $600 dollars incentive...however in my heart i feel tat being a confirm staff or not is not impt to me cos i do not have plans to stay in this co. B4 i took this job i knew i will not work long in this co. cos of the future prospect n my studies...so far the decision to leave the co. at the end of the yr has not change...my colleagues ask me how i manage to close so many deals...well the ans is very simple...in order to be a good sales person u muz be able to tell white lies n con ur customers into believing wat u say is true and convince them to buy frm u even tho ur price might be higher than ur competitors....so far all the machines tat i've sold are all quoted at the maximum floor price....tats how i manage to have such a high sales revenue....my bosses have even given me a nickname "Conman" cos i love to tell lies and con my customers into believing in it....hehee.....i know im capable of getting a better job n a better pay....2-3k per mth is not wat im looking at....i want more than tat kind of salary...most imptly i do not wan to be juz a salesperson...my dream is to become a sales manager n coach pple on how to do sales imstead...im thinking of using my sch fees which is meant for studying overseas to start my own business instead...some might think im still young n inexperience but deep down i believe i can do it
