02/03. time to update again. =)) studio project is finally over. and i had successfully scrape past the examiners (mr baktha and ms gail) without being critisized too badly. =D ms gail is always the one being sarcastic. "you can put in your copyright, but you have to wait till you get better." but mr baktha is only frank and blunt. no sarcasism added. he just tells you straight away if your work is good or bad. i like that. hah. the only part where i got worried is when i realised that i had forgotten to bring my storyboard. (yes, at the presentation.) luckily!! ms nopp was at the back of the classroom examining the other class to testify for me. at first she was blur blur one, when mr baktha mentioned an animation with a erotic ricesack with a sculpture, she was like "huh?" that really worried me alot. luckily when we showed her the animation she suddenly had the light bulb lighted. her blurness had almost costed me my life. X__X so in overall, i passed the presentation right?
after the presentation, i went to have a feast at Sakae sushi to celebrate our triumph of overcoming the tide of stress at studio project!! yun came to my house to put her portfolio stuffs at my place. and i lent her a blouse and my newbie short for her to change. at sakae sushi, i ate quite alot. =X my stomach seemed to be super active that night to digest the food i just ate so quickly. everybody was already KO-ed but yet i still got space for more. ...so am i too stressed or what that i go on such a binge? lolls. =.=
glad to announced that i am officially employed!! yun and i went to junction 8 to try our luck at the newly opened sony ericsson outlet. all the employees are females!! and that makes the female pwnage. wahaha. >=D requirements include makeup. =0 fine of $1 if you come to work without makeup. T^T and their definition of "makeup" is minimum of blusher, foundation and lip gloss. T^T imagine carrying a whole cake of so we went through a trial at the customer services for a while with the guidance of one of the service crew there~ (forgotten her name =X) yun handles just fine lar. but me!! super blur as always. almost had a customer "run away" without paying for the repair cost. =.= dear said customers coming to my counter are lucky cuz they can easily run off without paying. =.= *arbish* and they said my tone of voice very fierce. T-T like gangster's. T-T really meh? i didnt even realise myself lo. =( think i will offend alot of customers like that. =(( now i have zero confidence of doing cutomer services. =((( im really afraid of all unpredictable situations customers can bring to me. *hides in a corner*
03/03 first day of work. i arrived at j8 more than half an hour earlier. its an achievement know!! so i was brought into the QC section at the beginning of work. so i do QC checks on repaired handphones basically. and got rang by the annoying bell at the flap constantly where the CS people slot in the defective handphones. basically nothing that i cant cope with. so most of the time i was staring at the blank space with nothing to do while waiting for the techician to finish her reparations (and got kinda ticked off by Iris for not being initiative enough).
overall the staffs at the backroom are friendly. (so far? =/ ) shall introduce some of the staffs there. =D (excluding the retailing section cuz in really not familiar with them.)
the first one i know there is iris, the centre manager. my first impression of her is a nv qiang ren. the main source of her charm is her confidence. she's a nice lady who knows how to click well with her colleagues. her way of guiding the more inexperienced workers is more on the "independant" way rather than the "spoon-feeding" way. she allows us to think critically of the best way to work things out for ourselves. a good manager. i appreciate. =) even though i got critisized on my first day of work. =(
the second one is huiting. a friendly and cute (haha =X) customer service representative who works at the cashier. she taught me alot of things about QC and she is quite a patient "mentor".
third is shikin. the first time i saw her is when she was working at the reatiling section. but today she came to the QC to help. she had also made my mentor. a fun girl. but how surprisingly she can change to a friendly and polite tone in split second when answering to the customers on phone.
fourth is satya. a really nice and pleasant lady with thick indian accent that your will have to concentrate to make her what she is saying. =X she is the techinician for the day.
fifth is jody. my first impression on her is one word: cool. although she dont smile often and her tone is cool while on work, she actually has a cute interior. she had a beloved "moo moo" which was kidnapped by me twice. =X
sixth is jolyn. she is a really friendly girl who works at the customer service who eventually makes my mentor. smiles at every single moment. really cut out of serving customers and make customers smile while walking out of the store. she really have a way of soften the atmosphere of dealing with a pissed customer. kudos to her. =D i really really have to learn from her lest offending countless customers with my "fierce" tone and my blur head. ><
thats all for what i had observed from my very first day of work. hope i dont change any good impressions for them in the future. =/ after this long long LOOOOONNG post i suddenly feel my head throbbing already. gotta wear that layer of thickkk powder makeup to work again. =(( (but at least i got a compliment for it~ ahaha =X)
ps.: speaking of that, most of the comments for this store from some forum is that our store got lots of chio bus (mainly cuz we are a all-female-staffs store all with the same thick makeup). so guys, DONT come to this store just to look at chio bus wor!! we dont welcome unnecassary crowds. thank you. (although that is the main reason for all this all-pleasant-looking-female-staffs thingy for =.=)
