I Talk Alot. So What?

Since i was in primary school, i always get criticism from teachers saying, kenneth you talk alot. i tel your parents you are very talkative in class. Well, i use to think i was plagued with this talk alot disease. And i was always finding ways to keep me quiet. Most methods fail. I am usually quiet when i am reading, drawing, dreaming, or listening to someone talking (not lectures or class teachings). i was beginning to think that talking is bad.

Until i started on this job. Most of the time, i talk. and i talk alot. In fact, to get sales, i have to talk cause no bloody people ever donates to bloody charitable organization. so i raise sales and raised my salary. and i get to talk to interesting peoples such as the managing director of estee lauder company and their ceo. i learn alot from the people i interact everyday. things i dont get to learn in a confined area of 4 white walls and a bloody talking machine (lecturer) in front.

my next job will be in bimba and lola. they sell fashion accessories such as 4 inch heels, and bags and necklaces. i do get commission. and most importantly i get 3630. enough to fund my iphone 4g :). tata. gotta sleep soon :O will update soon.

p/s: attention to other pangeelapongers. mana update la. waiting for things to talk about. what are you guys doing during the summer. i know jess internship la at sentral

Am i back?

i think so. well i am currently working at mid valley selling/ giving bags to generous cash donors for malaysian nature society. The cause is to raise as much fund as possible to enable the rehabilitation of an empty swampy land on the coastal area in kuala selangor. As you can see, this is an equivalent to an internship, just that i get paid more :).

Lifes good so far, except for the sore legs and bad food. You see, htennek cant live without good food. Fortunately this last for a month or so. Besides that, i am missing out on various summer activities such as getting myself wasted on my bed sleeping and finding myself infront of my laptop doing you know what. Finally, my results are out and i am not out... collecting it.

I am driving to mid valley everyday cept for saturdays and sundays as the parking fee is just plain ridiculous for a cheapskate like me (i am not implying directly that i am one). Concerning about my working routine, i basically ave to "attract" customers with hoo haas and some big fat lies to get them to donate. The FEW lies:

a) Customer: is the bag strong?
htennek: of course la... i am using mine to shop groceries and i can fit 6 apples and 5 pears.
(i dont even own that bag)

b) customer: what do i get?
htennek: a free bag and tax exemption.
(tax exemption is only applicable if you have a donation accumulated over rm 100)

c) customers: how much is the donation?
htennek: rm 25
customer: wah so expensive?
htennek: no la... 25 is inclusive of the sapling, fertilizer, and chemical to induce plant growth
(firstly, the 25 is not inclusive of the fertilizer and chemical, just the tree itself. sounds way cheaper right? secondly, those who study biotech knows that mangrove soil is quite fertile.. elo fertilizers???)

i lie alot.. thanks.. anything for $$$ RIGHT? no i am not that bad one la... i just do that for 2 reasons. for sales and for nature :) time to sleep... dead tired. jess if you are reading this, cheer up and dont to so by EATING my cookies TT
