wasted

What a waste of money, time, energy, breath..

A bunch of us went for a commissioned-based job, selling laptop protection covers at Ngee Ann Poly. Each sold at promotion price $22, claims to be waterproof, prevent scratches, easily removed... and a total of over 90 designs. However, there were obviously so much less designs on display and they are ugly! Tried our best by throwing our faces away, approaching people older than us, introducing them to this ugy thing.. oh my gosh. As we have known, sold nothing at all after 2 hours.

What a cheat! Supposedly, one of us should be paid basic pay of 5 bucks an hour, thus we came with a mindset that at least we get paid at the end of the day.. but that's not the case. Before we left for that poly, we called the person-in-charge and he said, "There are already quite afew people interested in our product, and some have already bought them!" This raised our hope that today's job wouldn't be too difficult. However, when we reach the school, it was kinda empty, and those we approached are rushing to their classes. Some told us this was their last week in school.. When I asked the person-in-charge how many people have bought the product, he said 1. Man! We then decided to quit that stupid job..

We were told to wait for the boss while we go for lunch. Although cheaper than the hawker centres outside school, the fish and chips weren't at all satisfying to those who bought it. At least the chicken chop was much more edible.. phew. Soon, boss came. He told us some sales strategies.. repeating our young age.. and some other stuff.. I believe.. Wasn't really paying attention to him, because his voice kinda drained in the canteen. I thought they were crap, because he kept saying design wasn't important, which I think is VERY important. Who wants to put an ugly picture on their laptops, which was supposed to attract attention or envy from others? Probably unwanted attention..

Left the school, headed back to Tampines empty-handed. 4 bucks for going back and forth for nothing! K never mind. Started evaxing.. but was turned down due to SYF preparations. When Ahbe's contacts came, Serene, Denise and I went along to sow on them. Was quite depressed and reluctant, especially going to one of my disliked fastfood centre, Long John's. I don't like the food there! What's so great about the fries.. hahahahha. Thanks Denise, who treated me to a 'drink'. Heh. Thanks ah.

After their food, we went to the Open Plaza. Actually I didn't like the place, because there will always be this group of smokers smoking at the entrance. Not very welcoming in fact. Do you know about the spinning thing at the playground? I thought that was a ridiculous invention, not fun at all, makes people dizzy by just spinning around, unhealthy thing..

Good thing that things finally turned for the better! Saw these 2 little adorable adorable girls, ageing around 3-5? Denise and I were totally going googoogaga over them and started playing with them. At first the elder one was ignorant but opened up to us very soon, but the younger one was afraid of us. Oh man!! This really makes me want to have kids no matter what. They may be irritating at times, but will definitely add colours into our lives!

When all left, I had to wait for my twin to make her way to the MRT station for around 15 minutes, so Denise, Serene and I went for a walk around TM. As we walked past the arcade, Denise wanted to play House of the Dead 2, but one of the guns was gone.. so we played Lost World instead. I'm super excited.. because I never gone past level 1 in my life! Hahahahaha.. Guess what.. after screaming and shouting and erm, going MAD in that 2-seater box, we past 3rd LEVEL! woohoo!!

Haha, not too bad a day after all.
