The time now is 10.50 pm. As I am writing this, I'm still hoping I got a final phone call, hoping that one of them will call me. All i got to answer is just a simple, "YES".
I practically wasted my off day today. Apart from a new haircut, the only useful thing I've done today is nothing. I've tried not to be engulfed in a emotion breakdown but god, this is a bitter pill to swallow.
Why cant i just be the one sitting and resting at home,and when my phone rings, i just say yes and off i go for some drinking session.
Why can't I be THAT fucking person.
Why I have to be the one that makes the most meticulous planning and most phone calls hoping for a yes from every person I've called.
Why I have to be THAT fucking person.
Why...

Tired
I'm too tired that I've completely forgotten that I have a blog to run
I am too tired to be the one making the initial phone calls
I am too tired to be the one drafting out plans on where to go, what to do and when to do it
I am too tired to be the one who always accommodate everyone else
I am too tired to be myself
I'm simply too tired.

Hooligans
The time is now past one. One in the morning, in case you're confused between the evening and morning. Its getting near two now and I am still energetic, thanks to my super body that wakes up at 12pm today.
Business for the past 30 days has been bad. So, I don't think there will be a huge chunk of bonus for me this month. Not to mention, its getting boring too, with more and more fussy and act smart customers walking in rather than those easy to get along with kind of customers.
I missed quite a few of my customers, such as Mr. Christopher from the United Kingdom. A chatty person and love to share his experience of going all parts of the world. Kinda sorry for his laptop though.
Then there's Major Nick who owns a private investigation firm. Very considerate and never asked much when he knows he isn't ready to buy the product yet. I've only meet him twice and damn, he always complained about how skinny I was. I guess its hard to gain some fat when your family tree is all consists of skinny people.
Another loyal customer was Mr.Noor, who happens to own a business at Times Square alone. A rich guy I would say, loves his kids and respects his wife. The first time I meet him, he was interested with a camera. he knew he needed one (the camera) for his daughter's convocation and he's not interested with those T-series cameras because it looks kinda... sissy for him. He loves those with a more traditional bulk and feel. Eventually, he actually calls his wife before buying the camera. The way he reasons with his wife through the phone is simply amazing. It doesn't sound bossy at all.
However, these type of customers rarely walks in now. What we have more in common now are customers which came from India and Arabian countries such as Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, etc. Customers from India are real hooligans. They are so paranoid about Chinese made product that they even say that "Chinese is no good". Excuse me, there's a Chinese boy standing right in front of you, you dickhead. Then when they came in the shop, they acted very bossy and making noise as if they are informing everyone about their presence. They will interrupt in a rather rude manner when I am soliciting with another customer and there will be no "Thank You" after you've explained a crap load of info to them. To be frank, Bangladeshi has way better manners than these Indians, period.
Kids will be wearing costumes and wears a hooligan mask today at a certain part of the continent. I on the other hand, sees a lot of these hooligans every single day.
Trick or treats!
Happy Halloween.
Now I'm going to bed and expects more hooligans coming in tomorrow. Damn, I love my job but not the "customers".

The Irony of managers
It is Sunday. I'm working on the morning shift today. Sleepy as hell, but damn interesting mainly because the first few hours, Times Square is literally empty. I can even have breakfast an hour and half after clock in. Best of all, my father sent me to work, removing the hassle of waking up way earlier to catch the 8.25 train at Cempaka. It seems to be a marvelous day but things went the other way during noon time. Apparently the manager turned on the CCTV to monitor us working and because of some bad apples, he decided to do something he always do: drawing up rules blatantly.
The rules involves various offences we commits when working and these offense is penalized by issuing a citation. For instance, never greet a customer will take RM2 off your incentive and didn't prepare VOC will further deduct another RM2. No nametags will cause you RM5. Best of all, all the rates are counted on "per 30 minutes". So, if you didn't bring your name tag, you'll lose RM 80. RM80 in just a day caused by a freaking name tag.
Such wonderful way to demotivate its fellow employees. Couldn't blame his irony, since his highest qualification is only SPM. I'll just be patient and more careful now, slowly collects my desired money and then get lost for my Degree program.

When everything turns upside down
I'm sure everyone will stumble upon this situation before. A great day started with a great breakfast and when you're working, everyone surrounding you is smiling and the joyful mode suddenly turns into complete opposite of anger and frustration. I just had one. Today.
I don't wish to talk about it anymore and hopefully my frustration and anger will be gone when I woke up tomorrow.

Exhaust-ed
Gahh. Working has kept me a very busy young man. Left Sony for a month only and there's tons of things to catch up, not to mention the stress when you've unable to answer customer's questions about a specific product. Thank god, I managed to sell some products which carries a huge price tag, like RM 8,999 for a 13 inch laptop.
Yesterday was the Mid Autumn Festival, or most commonly known as Mooncake Festival. For the first time ever, I'm bored of mooncakes because my family alone has 37 mooncakes to savour from. Those mooncakes were given by my mom's students and dad's customers and not to mention I even bought some from Ipoh and some Tai Thong mooncakes at Tesco.
After the long break and Raya holidays, things just goes back to the normal way. I'm back to earn some greens, Weng Kit should be packing his belongings right now for a flight back to Singapore tomorrow and to most of the college friends, a beginning of new semester. A new semester, another war waiting to be won. Sometimes life is so square. Its just a circle of events, doing the same things over and over again every week.
Thank god, tomorrow is my OFF day. I shall sleep till there's no tomorrow.
