Working.....anyone????

haiz....have been invited to blog in this page but had nothing to write at first...for three months..i hav been thinking wat is interesting to write about until today......................cannot wait to tell everybody..

tada.... since i cannot afford to study in private colleges (although i can get full scholarship based on my results), i went out to SS2 to look for a part-time job to get on with my life......but to no avail..no one wants a fresh form 5 graduate who onli wants to work for 3 months...so i decided to contact my other poor friends about jobs available in the market.....

...and so i contacted hui xian...she said she is working in MEP (Meeting and Exhibition Planner Sdn Bhd)... i didn't reali get the name at first.. it sucks anyway... i asked her bout the pay and she said (censored) bucks a day... (censored)BUCKS A DAY!!!! i was stunned instantly by that amount....and she said that i must hav tough fingers coz the job is all bout typing..... She asked me to call Kia Sheng coz she said he is the so-called "leader" of the temp stuff..

....With high hopes.., i called Kia Sheng and asked him to "hire" me.......(let's skip all the phone conversation).. on Monday... i went to the company's premise in OUG, drove there coz free parking... went in and greeted the fat boss' sister "Yoke Leng" which is oso fat...., so i thought OMG no leng lui how to work.... KS (kia sheng) showed me my com and sat down.. he then put a pile of bonuslink application form on my desk, then ask me to type those forms into the com for their database.... he said "must reach the target of 325 entries in 1 week's time"

anxiously, i started my typing and was reali "piaing" so hard that my fingers almost dropped...and manage to reached the target in three days time ..(of coz la..geng mah)
At first, earning the bucks was really back-breaking...but when time goes by with practices.. it seems to me that 325 is sap sap sui... i can even type extra 100 entries a day..oh yea, forgot to tel u guys that extra 50 entries a day is (censored)bucks(bonus) so it's like heaven workin in MEP....

Oh yea... 12 other ex-CHSians working there... so very fun...oh yea.. forgot.. the working shift is from 7.30 in the morning till 3.30pm... so basically it's like goin to school except getting paid.. 8 hours of working.. but spend 1 hour talking and 1 hour lunch and 1 hour MSN.... so it's relaxing..satisfying ...and brain-rustying job.. except for our maths improve coz everyday need to count entries... after working for three weeks, i started to notice many leng luis in the company... dunno why the boss only employ leng lui... the only reason i can figure out is that the fat boss wants that type of figure and is willing to pay to admire that hour glass body shape....lol

As i said that my company... i mean the company plans event, meetings, exhibition, roadshows and conventions for various companies in kl such as Microsoft, IBM, samsiung, Nestle.......list goes on... so the company is constantly busy and need lots of temps for their events.... that is when opportnity strikes.... on 27, 28 ,29 March.... Nestle Sales Convention was held in Stadium Putra.....tell u guys... it's a very big convention 2000 people from all over Malaysia flew to KL for this... they are then seperated into 7 different hotels in KL...... i was in charge of the Sarawak Branch in Armada Hotel and Kia Sheng was in charge of the Johor Branch in Pearl International Hotel.. 4 people in charge of 1 hotel, including me and KS... wow... 300+ pax per hotel man...work from 5am till 1 am....... but the good news ....we r able to check in the hotel as well... manage a take a hot bath and some nap before the next big day.. oh.. the pay...(censored) bucks a day.. not much for such tiring job...like labours..run here run there... attend to him to her..... getting them on the bus....help them woith luggages...help out at registration counter....make sure they get their goodies bag and nestle Ts... and make sure they don lost their way... like rusa masuk kampung...
tell u man.... managers acting like children in KL... overgrown monkeys...2 bad they dun hav a big red butt 2 show off....

The sales Convention was really awesome...big applause to MEP multimedia team... the presentation was accompanied by videos and music... i recommend the song Stand Up(for the champion) by Right Said Fred.. very motivating when u all r feeling depressed... The stadium was literally divided into half, one portion for the stage for presentations and the other half was tables for lunch... imagine 200 tables align in the stadium... wow.... jsut cannot imagine such a plan could act work.... let's not talk bout it anymore...it will take another 1000 words. the convention ended with a dinner in Sunway convention centre with Jaclyn Victor as main performer..... main stage



spectacular...isn't it gala dinner at Sunwy Convention Centre
Next event....Smart Kids event held at PWTC.. first we act as if we r working for nestle... now for Microsoft.. hehe... well, we r supposed to be in charge of the Microsoft exhibition booth.. promoting Microsft Windows XP Starter Edition... so wat do u expect.. whole day standin g there running games to attract kids to the com.... let them like it and asked their parents to buy... that's our mission... although eventually failed becoz they onli managed to sell 24 coms.
we had 30 coms in the booth.. when we free... the whole scene was like at WCG (Cyber cafe)
...every temp staff sitting at the com.. playng... was scolded though by karen lee(another leng lui) i was act quite impressed by the way they design the booth.. with Microsoft logo colours as their carpet color and table color... lazy to describe, imagine urself
.. oh yea... the pay was (censored) a day for three days... that was the reason we were alwiz noisy in the lrt on the way bac home.. thinking bout the money we hav earned that day.... me at registration counter

a scene in WCG winners with their buddies

ROTFL! Kia Sheng arr! Wrong adi! the ideal thing to do would be to put every 5S1 member's name (steal their identities) into the name column and then comment randomly. :P

Okay, don't do that... Or else you'll have an extra assasin.
