Ugly Shoppers

Shoppers nowadays have VERY UGLY character. They treat sales person like dogs, ordering them here and there. Without the use of the magic words like 'Please" or 'Thank You'. Does it hurt to be just nice to the person serving you??

I was been told off by a customer yesterday for having 'No' common sense just because I informed her about our current promotion while I was sorting out her purchase. Just because I was sorting out her ourchase to help her save money, I was been deemed as NO common sense. WTF. This is the first time in my retail life that a customer said that to me. If they want us to respect them, shouldn't they respect the salesperson first?? Deserve what you deserve. If you are been nasty to others, don't expect them to be nice to you. What goes around, comes around. ARGH!!!!

Dearest Rubi ION

Time flies. I've been with Ion for abt 7 months. From the 1st batch of colleagues like Aeen & Mas to Lin, Angela, Yee Wen & Lin En to my team now, Apple, Ginnie, Syima, Michael, Felicia & Ismiah.

Tomorrow will be Apple's last day. Kind of miss her. Will miss her nonsense in the shop. Must remember that you will have to patient with your staff in your new shop. You're no longer with me. No one can cover for you. Thursday will be Felicia's last day. Will miss beating her. Haha. Glad to have you 2 in the Ion's team. Although the duration is short but the bonding is there. ION's door will always be open for you guys. You're always welcome.

Training will be very intensive for the rest of the team. Hope they can take the strictness from me and hope I can survive through this period. Been feeling very stress lately. Is it just me or the problem is somewhere else? Must try to relax which everyone have been telling me that.

Anyway, wish Apple & Felicia all the best in Ang Mo Kio Rubi. Love ya. Muacks.

I LOVE MY TEAM!!

匿名的朋友

杜松混合茉莉的風
回憶裡被愛那股激動
天色好紅 溫柔好濃
在胸口浮現 你的臉容
一起活在這城市迷宮
提起你名字心還跳動
卻沒重逢
只有想碰卻又不敢碰的那種悸動
也許我們當時年紀真的太小
從那懵懵懂懂 走進各自天空
該怎麼說 讓彼此選擇
但思念還轉動

不能握的手
從此匿名的朋友
其實我的執著依然執著
與你無關淚自行吸收
不能握的手
卻比親人更親厚
但所有如果
都沒有如果
只有失去的溫柔 最溫柔

當又一次美夢落空
回憶裡被愛那股激動
天色好紅 溫柔好濃
在胸口浮現 你的臉容
也許我們當時年紀真的太小
從那懵懵懂懂 走進各自天空
那是什麼 讓彼此選擇
又不僅是尊重

不能握的手
從此匿名的朋友
其實我的執著依然執著
與你無關淚自行吸收
不能握的手
卻比親人更親厚
但所有如果
都沒有如果
只有失去的溫柔 最溫柔

不能握的手
從此匿名的朋友
其實我的執著依然執著
卻決心和你不再聯絡
不能握的手
卻比愛人更長久
當所有如果
都沒有如果
只有失去的擁有
最永久

Self-Centred

In this world, the existance of self-centred "people" really irks me a lot. They think that they are the only one around and everyone cant survive without them. The world should only revolves around them. They think that work should be done only in their way and they do not accept any other suggestions. They must the first to know of any latest news or they will coming questioning why you do not tell them first. Blah.. Blah.. They do not know that their actions actually turn people off.

To be honest, we can survive very well without them around. Things can be done faster and at our own way. Maybe we will be happier without them around. How I wish there's no such people around. Just another wishful thinking.......

Suffering in Silence

It's been too long since my last post. Need a place to vent my anger before I blow up.

Work's been very hectic recently with the sales going on. The crowd at ION is CRAZY. The traffic is non-stop, giving us no time to take a breather. Currently, my team's being very weak. Cant handle without me around. My phone has been ringing non-stop when I'm off. I know I can only depend on Ginnie. She's the only one I can trust when I'm not around. Simple things cannot be done properly. Simple instructions left down cannot be done properly. What's wrong with these people? Do they even know what they are doing? Do they even know if they are up to the job? I'm thinking should I continue to suffer in silence or voice out?? What should I do? Can someone give me an answer?

Been thinking for a few months whether should I look for a new job as I cant take it any longer. The stress has been too high for me to handle and it's causing me my health. Position and money is not important if my health was to suffer cos of it. Money cant buy me happiness or my health.

I miss the good old days where we can just have fun and work at the same time. Thinking back, my time at Parkway was the best with the whole united as one. I MISS my Parkway team. How I wish I can have them as my team now... Having fun & laughter everyday at work..

Being Kind?

Not in a very good mood today. I was given an earful yesterday for letting a sick staff go home early then her scheduled time. Cos of that, I was been told off for not doing a good rack up, not refilling and putting extra money in the Bank In bag. Am I too kind to others that I hurt myself in the end? What do I benefit from that? Do I get their appreciation or they think that it's what I should do as a manager?
I really wonder.

Updates

It's being long since I last update my blog. Being very busy lately with work (Parkway closing down, GSS, etc) and various events. Let's start from the beginning.

My 26th Birthday



Had a mini celebrations with my family and friends. Thank you for all the presents and well wishes. Love them lots. Without them, my life will not be complete.

Closing Down of Parkway

Went out for a gathering as team for the very first & last time. This gathering is also meant to celebrate my birthday. We are united as a great team and we'll always be. I miss my Team Parkway a lot. I wish we can still go back to where we were used to be.

This were the last few days at Parkway before it closed down on 19th April 2009 temporary. The new temporary outlet had since reopen and now being managed by another store manager. Most of the part timers are remain at the new outlet while me, Ramon & Fiza are being sent to other outlets.

Cotton On Awards Night May 2009

This is 1 night where all Cotton On staff gathers and have fun. All the hard work for the past few months will be rewarded through various awards like Best Manager (Hehe.. I got mine for the month of January 2009), Best Casual, etc.

Sandy's Wedding (Latest update)

Her wedding was held at Amara Hotel on 31st May 2009. I helped out as 1 of the sisters' gang (out to torture the groom. Hahaha!!). It's was tiring but it's fun. Seeing my buddy marrying the man she love, I'm happy for her. Sandy, may you have a blissful wedding life.
