Season's Greetings!

Merry Christmas :)

Been quite busy lately, selling chocolates, spending time with my cousins from Singapore and the little holiday to Port Dickson. I know it's almost New Years, and 'Merry Christmas' is a little late, but I was stuck in PD for three nights without internet..not saying it wasn't fun though XD

Anyhow, back when I was selling chocolates with Choc L'Art, my days were pretty standard and not to mention, boring.

My days will begin at 7:10am, with the annoying alarm tune from my phone (I have to set an annoying one, or else I'll just sleep through the alarm :P) Brush up, shower, breakfast, the norm.

Then it's off to work at 9:00am.

I'll enter Bangsar Shopping Centre, thugging my tired self towards the stall. The thing I hate most, is the on-going Christmas carols they play. They're not the versions I fancy really, and they play the few songs..over and over and over again and again. I could almost explode listening to those few tracks being played continuously for 6 solid hours every fugging day. TAK BOLEH TAHAN!!!!

Opening the stall isn't that bad, I have to take the cloth down and place everything up nicely on display. And on my unlucky days, (which happened to be most of the time) I would have to count stock. Meaning, counting every. single. chocolate.

I work alone most of the time, so I usually ease my boderm by offering chocolates to anyone who passes by. And yes, I do steal the chocolate samples, and before you condemm me, hear me out.

At the start, I refrained from touching the chocolate samples. (I don't like it that much anyways..it's mint chocolate) My shifts are from 10am to 4pm. 6 hours. Alone. I don't get to leave the stall, hence, no lunches. There was one day when I almost felt like fainting. Amanda came by and pointed out the irony of me having low blood sugar level, while working at a stall selling chocolates.

So after a while, I was like heck. I can't eat anything, and I'm not suppose to eat at the stall, I guess I'll just have to sneak some of the chocolate samples :P

The thing I love most about this job, is the CASHIER!!! I have always been fascinated with cashiers since I was little, and I was ssssssoooo excited that I would get to operate one!!

Anyhow, I don't think this chocolate-selling business is a good job. I'm really sorry to those whom I've pulled into this job, I sincerely thought that it would be quite a good one.

I mean, they pay us WAY too little. It's like RM 4.50 per hour with 1% commission. ONE FREAKING PERCENT! I worked my ass off so hard the other day, I managed to sell RM 1300 worth of chocolates within my shift on a weekday, mind you, and what did I get? RM 13 worth of commission. What the bomb.

I spoke to people working at the L'Occitane stall opposite me, they get RM 30 bonus if they manage to hit RM 1000 worth of sales. and this is for the WHOLE DAY. And we were told that we would get 20% staff discount if we were to purchase anything, in the end, she gave us only 10% off for the fruit cakes and 15% off for the chocolates.

So my point is, DON'T WORK FOR CHOC L'ART.

especially if you're looking to earn some substaintial amount of money. It's a total waste of your time.

But on the bright side, I managed to escape work a little earlier than expected..my cousins, aunt, uncle and grandparents from Singapore decided to visit! So I took off work earlier to send time with them :)

Anyhow, meet my cousin,

RACHEL TEOW

She's superbly tall, competes in Nationals as a high-jumper, is crazy about hippo stuff toys.

I had loads of fun bringing her around KL, we brought the whole family to The Curve, Mid Valley, One Utama etc etc. My aunt LOVES shopping :P

I'm feeling really sluggish now, so I think I'm going to watch a movie, btw..you can now watch movies off the internet! HERE

Happy New Year in advance everyone!!

Best wishes from the klutz.

I know I still haven't posted about Christmas Eve etc etc etc

But I will get to it..someday
