From Work to Gaza..

So 1 week of job has been recently completed.. Nothing much can be said la.. ? Just day in day out it's the same old same old.. Hey, which job isn't like that? However, met some old friends while I was working and make new ones.. I think that's the positive side of working, you get to at least to know more people.. And of course build up your own personal skills, like PR, communication, etc.. There's another thing about working, you get to see many different kind of people there.. And makes you think are they such people in this world? Well, I've seen my fair share, those with attitude, those who spend like there's no tomorrow and yet those who are gentle and polite.. So for those of you who haven't work in your life yet, you better prepare yourself cause it seriously needs you to get out of your comfort zone..

Next if you look at the papers recently, there have been nothing but the Gaza war, or the main part is the Gaza war.. So everybody in the world is condemning Israel, for war crimes and stuff like that.. I do agree Israel might have taken it too far this time, however, to say that Israel are the only ones at fault is not entirely true.. Hamas has been firing rockets into Israel even though there was a 6 month ceasefire in place.. Why is that so I dunno why, however let me ask you a question, is people started throwing stones at your house, wouldn't you retaliate? So Israel might just wanna end things once and for all.. As in destroying those rockets.. How is that genocide well that's left to be seen.. One thing is for certain, if it's war, there are bound to be a lot of casualties, and unfortunately in this case, it's the Palestine people..

Another nice headline that captured my attention is to boycott USA products which in other words is to boycott US in whole.. Seems that every stupid war that happens, US gets the blame.. And how they were drag into this one, well I don't see it.. Maybe it's because US is in the Security Council and ain't doing anything about it, so people may perceive it as supporting Israel.. Let us be reminded that the Security Council is made up of 15 countries with US, UK, France, Russia and China having the veto power in that council.. So why only blame US and not the other 14 countries? And the call to boycott US will actually be our own undoing.. Very simple, majority of our trade is with the largest economy power in the world, and if we decided to cut off that link, well, that did be pretty bad for the economy don't you think.. And so far it's only Malaysia whose taking things to the extreme.. It's good that we are trying to protect the innocent but are we doing it the wrong way? Hmm... I wonder..

Finally, anybody whose interested in going to the Pulau Redang trip on 7th till 9th March please contact me.. You all should know how to do that.. Cheers..

Promoter?? Not for the weak..

What's my conclusion on work so far? Boring!!! Well, maybe my job is just that boring.. Standing there for 8 hours, looking at people passing by, and trying to impress people who do actually stop by to look at the goods your selling.. Whoever said "Beer promoter? That's gotta be the easiest job on Earth!" certainly haven't try what I've been through..

Let me tell you what u require to be a promoter.. First of all, tolerance.. You need to be able to withstand working long hours.. And also have the strength to move goods all around the area. That means those of you who never lifted a heavy item in your life should not attempt this job.. Next you must have very very good PR.. A person who knows many languages may have the advantage but if you can't put that in practice it's practically useless.. You are there trying to convince people that your product is better compare to your competitors.. And lastly, you need to be aware of your surroundings.. This means that you can't be a blur case, standing only at one place, not knowing what's happening around you..

This is after all my opinions as different people has different opinions on a topic or situation.. However, life as a promoter is not that fun after all.. Nevertheless, I'm learning new things everyday and kind of enjoying it.. Where else can u get free cash by just standing around?? LOL!! One thing is for sure, it'll be a very long and busy day when CNY is around the corner.. Wish me luck!!

Day 1

First day in the job.. LOL!! And how can I describe my feeling about it? Well, excited and boring at the same time.. As you all know, I got a job as a beer promoter in Jusco S2.. Got stationed near the liquor store, not a very strategic place for selling beer, but it was temporary so who cares.. And spend the next 9 hours (minus 1 for break) standing there swatting flies.. =p Cause nobody is buying beer.. Well, not at this kind of period.. I mean, u know us Malaysians, always last minute.. So make some new friends, managed to learn a thing and two, and got really tired legs.. Haha.. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day, with more sales.. Atau I can just makan gaji buta.. Wakaka!!
