Friday, November 28, 2008
Phew.. Thank God the day is over.. Wow.. Today was sale day at Estee Lauder's, n my aunt got mi n david a job.. Thanx Aunt:) Work was suppose to start at 830am till 9pm at Merchant Square.. Ended up reaching Clarke Quay mrt station at 730.. Wrong estimation of e time.. But still, better be early than never!! Haha.. So we loitered around Central mall in e morn, juz to realise that there wasnt any Mac there!!! Suddenly got reminded of Sheng Wei.. Haha.. Looong story..Reached e office le, got prepped up a bit by my aunt n her colleague Elvira.. (Rare name rite?? She's Indon!) Everything was like in control for e first 2 hrs in e room, cos it started as an all staff only sale till 11am. My job was to like provide shopping bags to the customers for them to put their stuffs in.. Guess wat?? E shopping bags were those red plastic bags you get from minimart shops.. Wow.. Talk about recession.. Haha.. Cannot provide proper shopping baskets.. Haha.. Another thing was that some of e items there were already out of stock even before it was open to public.. So there were quite a no of limited things.. One of which was a Michael Kors Golden coloured Holiday bag.. A one compartment bag la in short.. Checked online, but couldnt find any talk bout it.. Retail price given by e peeps there: $105... Sale price: $15.. See.. Sooo cheap!!
Oh.. N that was only during e 2 hrs in e room.. Outside, there was already a loooonng queue le.. Kinda like a snake le.. N poor David was doin crowd control outside.. He was like black faced when i saw him after that.. Haha.. Crowd control.. Get ready to be kicked around by e crowd as u attempt to control them.. Lol.. But thankfully, when i got to him, e crowd outside suddenly shrank by ALOT.. So when i switched place wid him, it was like quite a bit of ppl only.. Not so bad.. Haha.. So from 9am to 3pm, it was like super busy.. But from 3 onwards, business slackened.. So we all started taking chairs out to sit down in front of everybody le.. Haha..
Oh.. Forgot to tell u all.. e pay was like first 8 hrs $6, subsequently $9.. So after calculations, will have earned total of **********.. Inclusive of meals, breakfast, lunch n dinner.. Wats for breakfast?? Bakerzin sandwich.. Lunch?? Bakerzin Fried Rice.. Lol.. E rice's juz enuf to fill Lyn's stomach.. Dinner?? Didnt bother, cos packing up lo.. I was like WAT?? Bakerzin e whole day??? Wa.. Estee Lauder treats their ppl good.. Haha...
In e end, work was so not good, cos i worked for 12.5 hrs, but didnt even manage to get a cent back.. Instead, had to fork out *** bucks more, juz to get a few stuffs.. Haha.. But still, alot of fun, experience, friends made.. So it was THUMBS UP!! Not forgetting the aching feet, dehydration n e loss of time to study for tml's test.. haha.. But too tired to study le la..
One more thing.. I've bought in total, 5 Michael Kors bags, 4 Tommy Hilfiger dogtags (go engrave e back urself if u wan).. Spent total of $***.. What i have in mind is for a few ppl, den e rest is first come first serve le.. Haha.. E bags still have 2 to give out, dogtags, 1 to give out.. Paiseh.. Still feel that i've gotten too little bags.. Hmm.. Now e prob is how to pass it to u all, cos i can only get it earliest nxt wk.. Lol.. I forgot to bring it back, so its wid my aunt now.. Haha..
Nxt wk gonna go down for a job interview for an admin position at my aunt's workplace again.. This time think less tiring, but will take a week or so, still need to type resume.. sian.. Haha.. But gotta do it anyway:)
Edit: Forgot I should not put e prices up..Heez..
