My weekend @ IT Show 2008
was awesome & exhausting!!! Check out the hot babes here (photos courtesy of the babes themselves)->
Angie (in the middle)has a really unique gorgeous look! Heard tt she's a thai mix chinese =) I tink she looks like Devon Aoki (starring as Suki) from 2fast2furious, the jap-ger-eng mix. And the other 2 cute pretty babe (as always) beatrice and jerline!
*Compare*
She does look like her rite?
My sales for sat was only 20sets but sun was a whopping 50sets! All compact cams. No wonder my fren who recommended me to wrk insisted tt I work for the comm and not the basic(which is only $50 per day). He asked me not to look at the basic only and assured me tt it's worthwhile so I took the job. Indeed it was =) A great Thank You to Manfred for getting me to work at the IT show under his company.
Lucky for me! I got assigned to brand Nikon under Harvey Norman. Heard tt not all brands haf good welfare and sales. At least I know tt sony doesn't! Cos Siew(whom I recommended in to work) was asked to report for work at 9.30am and knock off at 11plus pm la! Plus she was arrowed to bring home the cam batts to charge! >=( V demanding! If it was me I wld had refused man! So evil!
I tink Harvey (and Nikon) rockz! They cater the nicest meals for us =) I enjoyed my lunch on sat and dinner on sun. Only managed to grab 1 meal per day as the crowd was really crazy! Although they allow you to go for break anytime u wan, u wun wanna go off seeing so much "commissions" floating and crowding ard the counter! (Anw, another reason was tt some food packs went "missing" so thr wasn't enough for me =P) Nikon was nice too! They provided refreshments and snacks during product training =)

Well in spite of the welfare, aft my 1st day of wrk on sat, my toes and legs were aching like crazy and my voice as sexy as ah du's. I calculated that I have worked close to a total of 24hrs, 12hrs per day from 10.30am to 10pm. Really xiong but it's worth the money!
A couple of frens came to say "hi" too, 2 even bought their cams from me =D Ahaha one of them is Eileen! Her mum nds a cam for her company's wroker hehe so they bought the L14 which is value for money! Low price yet good spects. So cute but too bad can't get more free gifts for her cos HarveyNorman said it's alrdy v discounted. Joanna came to buy a P50 from me too! She's actually the agent for the show gers for nikon ahaha so I told her to bargain for more freebies for herself =P
Layz was shopping ard for a digicam too but didn't buy nikon in the end cos she found a cheaper and prettier alternative =) Wanted to take photo with those peeps who came but =( haiz really no time! I realized that the only time tt i stopped tokking was when I wrote the sales form for cust to make their purchase. Even then, some custs still bombard me with qns abt the cams -_-
Even though there were many frens wrking at IT show, I cldn't even say "hi" to them bcos there was simply no time! That incls the nikon show girls like beatrice and jerline, din even haf time to catch up with them at all! Only a few sentences and managed a foto wid jerline during dinner. Thanks to peiling, another sexy ger (she was busy playing ard with the cam during dinner), I managed to haf a shot with jerline babe (still as slim as ever!!!)...
Haha I know this is really off but chk out my dinner! It consist of 3 chicken wings and 3 meat balls together with fried noodle yeah? Yummy! N i took 2 of beatrice's meatballs =P ahaha cos she doesn't like them la! Not cos i'm greedy k! Hmph!
Many pple say tt Show girls have a good life. Yes I agree tt they earn more than the usu sales pple and have much shorter wrking hrs but u nd to consider the negative pts too!
- they haf to wear heels and stand/walk on them thru all the wrking hrs
- they haf a fixed no. of wrking hrs and can't extend to earn more
- they do not earn commission (which sometimes may far exceed their pay)
- they haf to wear "light" despite the strong aircon
- they haf to make sure they dun "zao geng"
- they haf to tolerate "hump sup" stares
- they haf to allow anyone who wishes to take pictures of them photograph them and own the exclusive rights to the pics even if it's for "unknown" purpose or simply "own consumption" (yucks!the thot of it disgust me =@)
- they haf to tolerate criticism! (e.g. eeek this one not chio, wa lao eh this one so fat, yucks tt one got tummy, breast so small, mouth so big, face so crooked, eyes so droopy, nose so flat, make-up so thick etc...)
Yeah in summary, they are quite poor thing sometimes also. For those who kept complaining, give them a break. Everyone's jus doing their job and earning $ for living so loosen up yeah? Luckily their welfare for this show was very well taken care of =)
Heart the babes for bringing sales to me =D!
Went to ktv and drinking session with the HTC peeps at the Labyrinth aft the show ended! It was also to celebrate Anthony's belated b'day and catch up a bit la. Steven's voice is super funny, so is everyone's! Siew came too but at like 11plus close to 12midnite aft she knocked off! Din really sing much cos of my sexy voice and headed home at abt 2plus. Haf got volunteering the nx day =P Nearly died trying to wake up but it was another fulfilling morning =)
I muz go watch some movies soon! It's been a darn long time since I stepped into a movie theatre!
