siong weekend..

i just had my siongest weekend since ORD. it was tough.. especially the 1st day. i was working for The Event Company - TEC. Mr Yong introed me to dis 3 day job. and i got audrey zq and desmond to work together. attended briefing on thursday.. got to know we were actually working for a WDA - Workforce Development Agency roadshow. at toa payoh hDB hub. was attached to shuzz whom i know since tk band days. so i tot it was be kinda breezer.

1st day 3rd nov
was supposed to be there at 10am. had a direct bus from my bus stop.. but audrey was late.. coz of the temesek poly students which hogged the 69 bus. not knowing how long the direct bus would take us. we took the MRT. reached on the dot. din manage to get breakfast. i got down to work fast. being a stage hand- something i was good at. was in charge of preparing the prizes for the stage games and also the arranging of props for the stage games and also the short skit by Irene Ang aka Mrs Phua Chu Kang. while i was quite happy wif my job.. someone wasnt..
audrey who was supposed to be at the gift redemption counter was swapped to be a surveyor. and she was wearing that charles and keith shoe dat gave her terrible blisters. and the quota that day was 38. which they thought was terrible. at the end of the day.. i was tired she was tired.. = a quarrel. damn sian.. din noe wad i could do. went to bed tired..

2nd day 4th nov
the 2nd day of roadshow, took 59 there. took onli 30 mins! damn fast! had breakfast at BK. audrey was wearing far more comfortable shoes. still a little angry with me though. but nonetheless she still brought awfully chocolate cake for me to eat. haha. but guess wad? the 2nd blow came. a quota of 50 ! its was classic madness. but they throw in cash incentive of 20 bucks for ppl who hit quota. i was helpless. i saw audrey suffering but i could not have in anything. the survey was a killer! 6 pages. crazy. even if surveyors were harworking. the public wasnt so patient. 2nd day was far more busy for me. and the ntuc trolley of items was starting to rot. anyway(s) audrey hit target. mr yong gave a uplifting closure at the end of the day. praising the surveyors, knowing that everyone was shagged out. but the speech gave everyone extra strength and motivation. sounds like tk band. haha

3rd day 5th nov
the schedule was exactly the same as sat. everyone was hyped up. it was the last stretch. surveyors who hit quota on sat onli had a quota of 20 on sunday. so it was shiok. 20 compared to 50 the previous day was chicken feed. but for me, the nightmare just began. lotsa unused stock. and we had to give tissue paper like toilet paper. of course saw ugly singaporeans again. when i offered them, they will give u the 'how much' look and walk away. until i say the magic words. 'ITS FREE'. they actually turn back and take! tsk tsk tsk.. end of the day we had to pack up and although we were tired. morale was high.

Conclusion.
one thing i notice abt the toa payoh estate is.. there is a unusually high concentration of mental ppl here.. no offence to ppl staying there. but this was wad i noticed. very scary. when we were packing the bottles into the bags, the ppl standing behind was crazy! like wad the emcee patrick said to me. 'its like resident evil + silent hill' hahaha absolutely hilarious. though work was tough.. was happy overall coz i got the performance bonus of an extra hundred bucks. audrey too. im already looking forward to dec 1st, vivocity's grand opening! till den... ciao!
