Wow, the days felt like they were yesterday. Work ended on Sunday, 10pm. Thanks for sending us to Kranji, :D. Somehow I really couldn’t contain my excitement. Afterall its just a roadshow job, a temporary 5-day job. But I was filled with thoughts. Very random ones in fact. Let me list them down.. (of which some I’d randomly wrote on twitter.)
- ~80% of the people strolling around Takashimaya, Ngee Ann City had either a Louis Vuitton (LV), Longchamp, Gucci, and even Chanel. Are these branded goods really that affordable nowadays? Not to me though. Which makes me wonder why are so so so many people willing to spend big bucks on these designer goods. Durability? Design? or Glory?
- ~70% of them are either using an iPhone or a Blackberry. (More than half of my colleagues are using iPhone too.)
- Heartwarming scenes when I see many daddy(s) and mummy(s) who dote their kids very very much. They’d accompany their kiddos to try-on the 3D TV using the 3D glasses and occasionally had stares into their eyes to ask if they liked/enjoyed it. Its a very simple gesture but I could feel the love of a parent.
- Different people from all walks of life. Very mannered ones to very ill-mannered ones. The need to emphasize, its really not that hard to say a ‘Thank you’ right?
- Some people really can’t appreciate the 3D TV technology. Yes I agree wearing the 3D glasses are a hassle especially to people who are already using spectacles. But don’t you wow in awe when you see those amazingly impressive 3D graphics? I mean, just admit its good, but its troublesome.
- which brings me to the point that I really like customers who appreciate technology, who tell me that the 3D tv is AMAZING and IMPRESSIVE. I meant, even though I wasn’t the creator, I feel proud of what I’m promoting, it makes me feel good. These kind of people are never stingy with their praises, and I realised a handful of them came from the caucasians.
- Do not straightaway bombard the staffs and stereotype the products, no matter what you’re seeing. Remember they are JUST doing their job, doing what they are supposed/asked to.
I would continue till tomorrow if I don’t stop now.
Lesson to be learnt..
- Always remember your ‘P’s and ‘T’s – Please and Thank you! :)) It’d make people’s day. A smile to go with it would be x10294132 times better.
- Don’t scrutinise a product infront of the staff promoting/selling it – I myself am guilty of this sin, now that I know how it feels, I’ll try to control myself. (‘cuz I’m a very straightforward person as well.)
- Don’t blame the staffs for the products which you’re unsatisfactory about. Afterall, it was just their job to deliver whatever information you needed to know.
I had some experiences which I didn’t liked and remembered!
#1 When one old uncle with tattoos(!) talk to me alot and ended up giving me his name card, asking me to contact him when I go clubbing/ need someone for dinner. (wtf?!)
#2 Another supposingly a pilot who told me alot of interesting stuffs which can be seen while he’s in the cockpit, and ended up asking me what do I do on Friday nights?!!!!
#3 A last epic failure uncle who pretended (I guess he was pretending) to be all interested about the 3D TV and wanted to buy except that he wanted to get his family member with a certain bank’s credit card to get further rebates. He told me he’ll ask his family member to look for me, and asked me ‘how to contact you?’. (Obviously I didn’t give him my number) And I think it was all a scam because no one looked for me to buy a 3D TV lah! :S
Anyhows. I’ll update again!!! :D
Graduation post next ! ^^ I had a hard time editting every single pic. HAHA.
Camwhore before work :p
