Jom Heboh working experience

forget when the big catch started...

i was informed that there's a part time well paid, Jom Heboh ribena promoter.
2 days u get RM320.

RM320?? woah sounds cool...
i can get a new dobok. the old ones r turning yellow... im a big sweater n lousy clothes washer.
or maybe save it up for future travelling. who's suggesting we go Taiwan for graduation trabelling?

fine... im on. and that's the beginning of my little nightmare lol...


27/2/2010

jumped up from bed at 7 sharp.
had a quick bath and went down for breakfast.
mee goreng again? cincai lah no time for me to hiam.

get my car and set off in no time.

1st time have a near glance at Stadium Bukit Jalil.
Awesome building, but somehow im more liking to metallic sturcture like KLCC.

obtained my Horlicks T shirt at d booth, hence offcially labelled as Horlicks promoter.
(actually i prefer Scotts T or Ribena jobscope la... watever...)

Now my partners. Twin combo of Michael Liu n CK Poon. ==
New friends. Pretty Triny from UTAR, cute SPM grad student Carol (she really looks like teddy bear...), and several other U students.

Now the interesting part. My jobscope.
U grab 4 bags of Horlicks products and out to the streets to promote. RM 10 each bag.
At the end u return with 4 bags or RM 40. Honestly im a bit not used with this, esp when it comes to promoting.
Like it or not i have to get it done, it's my orders. >_<
Situation turned worse starting 10 o'clock as the blazing sun joined in. ==|||
I can feel my skin burning.
I saw Michael's face starting to curve, guess im oso not much better lol.

1 hour lunch break, we settled through food testing from booth to booth.
As if we were starved for days and snatch watever we can eat.
Like the Alicafe chocolate, nice blended. Others only so so.

Continue promoting.
The crowds goes on, advertisements kept boomming out from woofers like no tomorrow.
Until 7pm suddenly there's a downpour.
Should've rain earlier la...>_<
Anyhow we get to dismiss earlier. Wat a good news haha. Leave by 9 someting.

Back to college only to discover my arms and neck turn reddish dark due to sunburnt.
Sigh...
As Michael says... this is the first time i'm sunburnt bcoz of money ~~

2morow has yet to come. Fainted on bed at 2.

Happy Chap Goh Mei? maybe later.

Today's better. I sneaked inside the booth and help at the cashier.
There's a big fan blowing behind me, wat a relieve haha.
In order to clear stocks they decided to give out valued offer.
Sales flow fast like water. Busy packing and selling.

Soon after TV3 turned up and made live casting. I guess Horlicks sponsored them before.
Old tricks, definitely works. Crowds were attracted and stopped by.

The host's promoting hard.
Really respect him.
He can hide in the booth store spoke laughter alone to the mic, and sounds just like he's promoting outside on the streets. @_@
The crowd get stimulated and went crazy.
Michael and I kept open new stocks and packing.
The goodies sold off so fast and we worked non-stop to fulfill d never ending new demands.
The big boss collect the cash constantly, must be very syiok eh?
i can barely derive a new equation -- M = 10t , M = money collected, t = time flow... XD
The stocks went half in a sudden.
A Chinese proverb " mold the steel while it's still hot " best described the brilliant strategy and good timing.

Following was a relax period.
We sold off the remaining packings and close sales by 8 something.
Didn't miss out some cleaning and hustling afterwards.
So ends my tiring part time.
Blood and sweat for a mere hard earned RM 320... and a brand new experiece...=)



Professional host... Respect him alot...


CK . Triny . Michael . me
