PC show 11th-14th june

This is my second time working at the PC show, last year I was posted to sell hp laser printer together with my small sis. This time round fortunately, I was posted to lenovo together with kassyn. I was rather reluctant having to sell laptops and desktops initially as I know nothing much about IT products. But seems like I have managed to smoke through product introduction quite well, sales was surprisingly good, at least it was much better than what I have expected. Thank god for our strategic location and good promotions, we managed to emerge top sellers among the other resellers from harvey norman, courts etc. Had great fun working with all the part-timers, despite having to stand almost 12 hours daily (could hardly feel the existence of my little toe when I reach home) and talk really loudly non-stop.



Point to note : If you are planning to get some great deals from the IT fair, come only on the 3rd day (Saturday) afternoon, as prices are normally slashed and more freebies are thrown in. And on top of that, there are still sufficient stocks available and enough time for you to compare prices. Don't bother coming on the last day last hour thinking that you will get the best deal, as you might end up buying the display set without you even knowing.

1 day trip to JB

Went to JB with kratos for a short weekend getaway recently, getting there was a chore as travel conditions on sunday was terrible. We were caught in a ridiculously long jam for about an hour plus and we had to stand in the super packed sbs bus with people pluking in their plastic bags as the air con was barely cold and the bus was inching forward and stopping constantly. Upon arrival at the new customs, everyone hopped off the bus excitedly as we were all hungry and perspiring like crazy. As it was a short 1 day trip, we did not have much time to travel or explore JB. So we only went to city square shopping centre which is just beside the customs, had our lunch at secret receipe and proceed to shop around after that. The food at secret receipe was average, but their cheesecakes are v good and cheap. Our initial plan was to shop, sing kbox and probably catch a movie at JB and end our day with a nice spread of cheap and fresh seafood feast. But due to time constraint, we only did some brief shopping (manage to grab a pair of shoes and a t-shirt from F.O.S) and had seafood for dinner at da man hua yuan which requires approximately 10 mins to get there by cab. Getting back to singapore was much faster and comfortable without the traffic jam. Miss Ting loves travelling!!

Kratos and CL went to Bintan yesterday for a short relaxing trip and they'll only be back on tomorrow afternoon. BOOHOOHOO.
