reflections

thanx peiyi!
-for introducing me a job to work for your aunt. it was an interesting experience but unfortunately, dont think i am really suited for it. i lack the skills and more imptly, i guess it is my mindset problem. it feels sucky to be a quitter, well.. it shud be gd for ur aunt too.. it isnt worthwhile payin for someone who cant do the job well.. XD

my first working exp. as a telemarketer.
this job requires really gd speaking skills, or at least able to control one's emotions and talk nicely to the client over the phone. it's quite frustrating when u cant meet ur target - arranging a meeting for the client w the finanical adviser. thanx lilian (aunt) for teaching me some techniques but i think it is v hard for me to overcome my style of "respecting" others' decision. working is tough, for the money, ppl has to play the role of a "irritating" sales promoter. when rejection is in ur face, one still has to smile n keep a nice tone to slowly persuade n draw interest from tt person.. this is an exact reverse of my personality. if one doesnt want to talk to me, i jus walk away.. XD.. life.. reality of adulthood.. all for the money..

i really hoped i jus got one person to arrange a meeting w lilian.. at least i did something, achieved something. the best potential client told me tt he isnt v active into investments, so if a meeting session will be a waste of time for the adviser. natural reaction from someone like me " i understand ur position.. thank you" i guess i am really screwing up alot.. sorry lilian.. it feels weird calling peiyi's aunt lilian too.. nvm.. i am an adult alr.. i shud call all adults by name.. XD

it is v nice of lilian to actually pay me.. for i din complete any assignment given. my mom said although i feel bad, i haf to accept the fact tt i did work, jus tt there isnt any product.. sigh.. now i sorta live in guilt.. haha.. peiyi! this time, i will not even try to evade from the OIC (i did intend to T(reat)IC).. lol.. lessen my guilt a little? haha..

basically, i do have some kind of idea how office life is like.. and i can understan wat some of my frens say abt office work.. boring.. lonely.. and stuff.. i think i prefer a lonely environment to do work.. jus like when i study.. enjoying time alone.. loner.. tts why i am an introvert..

no more work alr.. now.. it feels so gd to haf the song broken orange.. the music..
after weeks of searching.. and giving up and searching again..i finally got it.. thanks to baidu post! chinese are really gd at getting hard to reach songs. they are so enthusiastic abt sharing their songs too.. i love this.. if only majority of the chinese are like this.. life again..

my parents are kinda excited tt i actually tried out work.. my mom loves to listen to me talk abt my exp.. jus tt i dun like to share w her.. lol.. my dad thought i was really tired from work after i came home.. feeling kinda low, i din haf the appetite to eat initially.. but.. i do get hungry.. lol.. i guess my parents are jus happy to see their son grow up.. i grow up everyday.. all the best to everyone at work.. hope lilian finds a persuasive n eloquent speaker.. haha.. one more thing.. i lack the confidence to sell my "product" cos i think i really noe too little abt it to really haf a confidence boost.. lol.. back to tt "Feeling" theory.. i jus dun haf the feel for telemarketing.. tryin it out was something fun.. but unfortunately.. let's be optimisitic! :D at least i tried..

ty for the opportunity for a job in a CBD.. woohoo.. now i've worked in the CBD.. big deal.. lol..
it is cool..

val if u are looking at this.. i am charismatic no more.. lol..

who wants broken orange for chinese new year?
