the interview..

The other day my dad gave me a letter from UiTM. I was thinking apa lagi la yang diorg nak notify kan..pastu nampak cop Fakulti Komunikasi. Terus teringat, ni mesti kena panggil interview. 


Memang betul pun, then i scanned thru the letter..the interview for a degree in Public Relations. Tengok the date 18th of October, ms tu tak perasan lagi..next to it ada tulis on Saturday. OMG the day i got the letter was Thursday, selang 2 days je..huhu. da la that day was my day off from work, x sempat la nak bagitau yang i won’t be able to work on Saturday. Lepas tu i remembered yang my friend’s friend pernah pegi interview tu dulu. Da contact die and all, rasa okay sket la when she told me that the interview biasa2 je. Tapi memang takde masa sangat pun nak prepare.

The next day i masuk kerja shift petang..terus je cakap dengan Kak Yana yang i nak cuti esok tu. The others yang ada kat situ tanya kenapa, ada interview eh? I said yeah, i showed the letter to them. They read it, lepas tu cakap tak payah pegi laa..bila nak masuk? etc etc. Pastu i cakap la ni baru interview, bukan nya dapat offer lagi pun. Nanti masa i resign betul2 nanti xtau la macam mane, rindu kat diorang.
Balik da malam, dengan da penat lagi..terus tido je. 


Bangun pagi2 boleh relax2 lagi..then da 7 something my dad da bising2 ;P takut lambat..hehe.
Sampai area Lendu tu it rained cats and dogs. Tengok2 kat sana pun takde orang sangat, baru a few girls je yang ade. Tapi rupanya memang x ramai pun yang datang, don't know if memang tak ramai yang diorang panggil or tak ramai yang datang - less than 20 people. Mula2 kena write an essay..masa tu pun tak dapat nak tulis banyak. Memang tak reti nk elaborate panjang2 pun selama ni ;P ni since da lama sangat tak write essay..memang lagi teruk. orang lain sampai penuh 2 pages..i can only write 1 plus a bit je.

Masa kena interview pun 1 hal lagi..huhu, stuck. Tak boleh nak cakap banyak2, padahal nak interview for mass com. Geram jugak la lepas tu, coz bila balik boleh je jawab..and boleh elaborate. Benda da lepas kan.


Sampai kat rumah je terus tido..then bangun for lunch, ingat nak tengok tv since bukan selalu dapat cuti macam ni..tapi tido balik plak. Mmg hopeless ;P lama sangat2 tido, sebab frust the interview didn’t go well kot? Penat sangat. 


Da bangun tido petang tadi, lepak la kat depan tv sorg2 since yang lain pegi open house..malas nak ikut. last2 i settled for sweets for my sweet kat afc. Best jugak tengok diorang cari desserts. 


Then tengok coffee talk and hawker woks. Mula2 macam nak change to another channel, tiba2 my fav celeb’s name was mentioned terus tak jadi tukar. Who else, Aaron Aziz la. They went around Tampines, Singapore to show his fav food joints. Ni yang rasa macam nak pegi duduk kat Singapore lak ;P boleh x??

kami

Selamat hari raya aidilfitri to all muslims, maaf zahir batin..especially to all my friends. I know i'm a week late. Sorry to those who wish, etc to me tp i didn’t get back to u guys.. it was unintentional. I was swamped with work. I only got two days of leave. Then, back to work. 


I don't have to work today, i've decided to watch movie, so i headed to Mahkota Parade first..when i'm already inside the mall i suddenly remembered that i didn't take note of the row where i parked. But i was too lazy to go there to make sure. 


Then, terus la cari GSC..even though awal lagi masa tu. Sekali sampai kat sana ada 4 movies je, kami the movie ada kat Dataran Pahlawan pulak. 

sampai je kat DP, masuk kat main entrance die yang kat tengah2 tu. Pastu confident je naik escalator in the middle, konon2 yang tu memang smpai GSC la..haha. rupanya yang tu sampai kat rooftop yg ada a few cafes, pastu nampak voir gallery..so masuk je, berlakon macam memang nk tengok stuff kat situ ;P da tanya sales assistant kat sana, baru tau GSC tu kat atas carrefour at the other end of the complex..huhu, jauh nk jalan.
Da jalan berapa lama sampai gak kat the other end, satu hal lagi nak cari escalator naik atas pulak..tu je da spend half an hour kot. Hehe, takde la exaggerated je tu. Tapi lama jugak la..dengan tanya org yang tak reti bagi direction lagi. last2 ada sorang ni tolong tunjukkan elevator, suruh naik level 5. tapi seram la pulak masa naik tu, dengan area tu takde orang..n ada pulak sorang cleaner kat dalam tu tengah buat kerja. Memang da ready je nak tendang if anything. Pastu sampai kat lobby GSC tu..bigger than cineleisure kot, da la tak ramai orang.


Kami the movie tu memang best, memang tak rugi la penat2 cari GSC kat dataran. 


Lepas ni nak tengok movie Selamat Pagi Cinta pulak, this November. Fazura, Pierre, Amani and Que Haidar..

macam-macam

Sometimes i feel like the phrase customers are always right is not acceptable, when they are overboard. I mean yeah, they have the rights..but please do have the courtesy to show some manners. I’ve dealt with a lot of people to this day, and i can tell u that some are totally outrageous. 

The other day baru je nk kira this one Indonesian lady's purchase, one guy asked her if he can go first because he wanted to buy just one thing (maybe he thought she’s got a lot of stuff in the trolley, or maybe coz her friends who were done pun ada kat situ jugak..nampak macam banyak barang). Since she let him go first, so scan la his stuff tu dlu. He wanted to buy a rexona deodorant, after da scan tu he asked me berapa ni? Da terang2 MYR5.90 kat ctu, so i told him la..padahal boleh tengok sendiri and tak kan la masa ambik that stuff tak tengok kan? Pastu boleh pulak he scolded me..kata "eh tadi kat sana state harga lain, kat sini harga lain..apa ni harga tak tetap la"..bla bla bla. Since i tengah puasa and tengok pulak he was wearing a t-shirt with PDRM’s logo..malas nak bising2, cakap je tak tau. Tapi bengang jugak laa, apa pulak nak marah2 cashier..bukan cashier yang letak the price tags kat shelf sane. Bila da lepas tu rasa nak je cakap if tak nak beli letak la balik, ni nak bising2 pulak ;P
Then lepas da settle the lady tadi punya purchases da takde customer Q-up to pay..so i went to look for the deo td. Tengok2 je rasa macam nak belikan mamat tadi tu a pair of specs je. 


Geram, da memang terang2 kat situ pun price tag MYR5.90..n not MYR5.20 like he said it was. Yg MYR5.20 tu untuk yang the ones next to it, it was his own fault ambik benda lain and tengok kat tempat lain nak marah2 org pulak.
 

Pastu another customer ni, slalu jugak la nampak, aritu nampak he came in..dia nak beli tissue in boxes tu. Boleh tak dia campak je benda tu kat counter, nasib bukan kat my counter..tapi kesian jugak tengok my friend tu, then bila customer tu nak bayar pun kena campak dengan duit. 

Banyak lagi la we had to go through from day to day, there are some that we can stand..tapi bila da teruk sangat n sometimes buat mcm kitorg ni tak educated n kerja untuk layan kerenah orang yang macam **** je, it’s totally tiring.
Kalau jumpa yang macam2 perangai, tapi lepas tu they all ckp terima kasih or at least just smile pn i’m contented already..daripada bengang, terus tak jadi ;P
It’s getting nearer to Raya already, sekarang ni pun da start Raya sale..next week ni mesti mad rush everyday. Dengar dari budak2 yang da kerja since last year pun takut..customer Q-up panjang sangat2, n lots of stuff happened dengan bergaduh among themselves lg..huhu. hopefully this year dapat civilized customers ;P

working..

now i'm officially a cashier :) hehe..i know it's nothing much to be proud of, but still..it's my job. been a few days since i've been trusted to manage on my own..it could bore me at times when there's no customers, but then that someone's always on my mind to occupy me. i'm wondering whether he's still shutting everything out..
the first couple of days were just the usual like before, just without my seniors by my side..i was in doubt at first, thinking of the possible mistakes that could happen..and hearing about the others' that had to replace the money when they made their mistakes..huhu. but everyone learn from mistakes right..
then yesterday, the schedule was somehow not quite right..almost all of us were supposed to work during the day. since i reported to work quite early, i managed one of the counter in the morning. but after the break, i had nothing to do. so they asked me to help the people downstairs..in the packaging section. when i first got there, i saw chicken parts that had been cut and weighed. i said to myself, please dun tell me that i had to even touch any of those chickens. how on earth am i gonna replace the other cashiers when they are on break later, with those smell..huhu. fortunately the lady there only asked me to help with dry stuff ;P
i had to check whether the onions weighed enough, and then packed them before placing the price sticker on them. then it was the glutinous rice's turn. lastly, i had to pack the anchovies..now that was some work, i kept thinking when would i be able to stop..my throat was parched and i felt really tired. it was really different from when i was working upstairs, just meeting all kinds of people..some demanding, some really nice. it's different, penat mngadap people and penat buat kerja. i'm thankful for being able to be a cashier, what if i had to work like them downstairs everyday..i'd be totally wiped out. i think i made a good choice when i chose to stop from finishing the degree in chemistry, coz i would be working mostly with machines..and i don't like that. kerja cashier ni, all the time pun boleh jumpa cute kids..my fav ;)
fortunately kak yana..my colleague saw me when she was heading out from the office, maybe she saw my tired face ;P and said she would ask kak faz whether it's already time for me to head back upstairs. thanks a lot to her, she's my saviour ;) nasib baik..haha..
