I was sent on a mission to one of the Apple reseller with the task to observe how reseller works and to also learn to sell the products to the customers.
The logic behind this was…..
Boss: “After all you’re in the sales department, you’ve got to experience some kind of selling isn’t it?”
And so the intern went. Armed with the Apple Product Professional Certification and 5 weeks of using a MacBook Pro I attempted to sell the products. But little did I know, my “qualification” was incomparable to the zai salesperson, John.
The 2 days experience was rather interesting. Met lots of interesting characters …..
Interesting Characters #1
2 Malay uncles who owned PowerBook (the older version of Macbook) and visited the store almost every single day to pick up some more skills about Mac products.
John: Eh uncle, hello here again.
Uncles: Ya. Thinking of buying iMac or MacBook pro.
John: Uncle, MacBook Pro now is only $3088.
Uncles: Ya. Now much cheaper ah.
John: Ya uncle, now don’t buy wait for what. Last year you see it’s $3XXX. Now can buy already uncle.
John told me the uncles visit the store almost every other day for 1 year already. And they never bought anything.
-_-“
Interesting Characters #2
A “friend” of John who purchased products on my first and second day and he is visiting John to buy some other things on Monday.
A product a day makes the man happy each day.

3 Japanese men in search for the iphone.
Japanese Man #1: Eh….got i—Pho–Ne?
Me: Sir, iphone is not in Singapore yet.
Japanese Man #1: NOooooooo….. NOT in Sin-Ga-Pore?
Me: Sorry Sir. No. It will only arrive in September. 
Japanese man #1: Sep-Tem-Ber?! Nooooooo. Hoooooorrrrr
Me: [-_-“] ……LOL
And he walked out in great disappointment and disbelief.
When you found someone you like – love boldly.
This tower rotates with the power of the wind. Very cool. Thankfully it’s not built in some typhoon prone location. Otherwise, people in the building will get dizzy when their level is spinning like a top?!

Had great dinner and great company! Thanks Jane for the present! She also got me a chopstick for hair. Haha.
Yes summer is here. People are going for summer holidays. They want sexy abs, flat tummy and all. But I’m still stuck with Ms Flabby. I’m so not discipline when it comes to exercising.
What’s with heels that give you blister? Maybe they should start giving out free plasters with every shoe purchased. Hmph.
I found this old-school cookie shop at Ang Mo Kio during lunch. I love them.
Am I turning materialistic? Cause I have no idea why my lovely cookie tins look like gold bars after I’ve edited them. LOL.
When a guy keeps causing a girl to cry and chooses to stay only because she is in tears… He has no idea how much hurt he had already caused despite his stay…
//Friends I am not going through a breakup or anything. Just a thought that was inspired through a conversation with my friend.
if a man doesn’t bring you joy, make you a better person or simply doesn’t enhance your life. ditch him.
cause as a woman, you don’t need a guy for anything else
I planned so much for a holiday this summer and I’m finally going for one.
These are the plans that didn’t come true.
(1) Korea with my sister but the tour agency cancel on us
(2) Bangkok with my sister but my internship was supposed to end on the 1st August and she can’t wait
(3) Phuket. Urgh. Not enough interested parties.
(4) Vietnam. Not enough interested parties.
So in the end, I’m going Hong Kong. (I’ve finally booked the tickets) Shop and eat. Shop and Eat.
My boss is going on half day after our workshop today (1pm) …
Boss: Eh where you all heading to after the workshop?
Dorothy (Dot) and I: Back to office.
Boss: Do you really have to go back?
Dot and I: Ya. We left our laptops there.
Boss: Oh, I was about to give you girls a half day off then you all can leave from here (Tiong Bahru)
Dot and I: Oh! We can go grab our stuffs and go. ☺
Boss: ☺ Interns don’t have such privileges. Haha.
I: -_-“
Boss: Just kidding.
WOOT! So I am writing this blog at home at bout 3 plus 4! Nice.
i tore my top today, and my sister said, “Eh, I think you’re like the Hulk!” Grrr….
This is how I did my setting on the mail program to synchronize my NUS email to work email. Not sure if it’s the same for Windows, but try it!
Ah ha! My friend. That’s what I’m talking about. But alas, who you see
is not me, but yourself. Thee cannot see from thy heart what innermost
felt is. Cos blessed are the hearts that can bend, they will never be
broken. But if there is no breaking, there is no healing. And if there
is no healing, there can be no learning. I am proud of you my friend,
cos your learning begins today. It is time you let go and be free.

Having Colbie Caillat’s bubbly as your alarm clock ringtone proved to be a disaster this morning. Yikes.
