-

Didnt get a chance to blog yesterday..

So..

Yesterday morning, me and my papa went over to TP to submit da enrolment forms.

But still lacking a few documents la. Need to go down another day to submit agn.

And i needa go down to da clinic for medical checkup agn tml or sth.... sian =.=

After dat my dad sent me to work.. and i was lyk suffering frm carsick. rocks (:

hurhur.

I tink i was damn lucky ytd la.

For da front few phonecalls i made i managed to get 2 deals ler.

WHEEE ^^

But den towards da back tings started to get damn horrible.

I received a few sheet of leads dat cud rly make one vomit blood.

70% didnt pick up.
29% wrong number.
1% not interested.

And i asked my colleague to help me go get a bucket and put beside my desk cos i noe i'm gg to vomit blood anytym.

Ya right. lol.

OHHH. and i'm so gonna tok abt a few INTERESTING customers i dealt wif ytd..

Scenario 1 :

Me: " So are you married? "

Man: " Ya "

Me: "Oh ok, that's great. then you can bring your wife and your kids over for a free family portrait! "

Man: "No la i don't have children. we cant make "

Me: "erm....... okay. so you can just bring your wife over and have a couple shot taken la"

Man: "Dont want la, she's not photogenic"

Me:: Aiyo.. doesnt mean have to be photogenic then can take pictures ma, it's ok la"

Man: "Nah, dont want la. my wife very ugly"

Me: "huh.. no la.. if ugly then why do you marry her in the first place? "

then i realised i said sth.. not very right.... lol........

Man: "You introduce new girlfriend to me then i come over and take the photoshoot with her la"

Me: " We are not running a brothel and for your information i am a telemarketer, not a mamasan"

okay. of course i didnt say that. but i was screamin that within me. hurr -.-

Me: "erm never mind i think its ok then thankyou BYEBYE"

*slam down the phone*

EEEW. this is the standard kinda guy that CONFIRM will have an affair outside behind his wife's back de laa.

Arse.

OHH AND THINKING ABOUT WHAT I'M GONNA SAY NEXT REALLY MAKES MY BLOOD BOILLLLLLLL

Okay.

Scenario 2:

I happened to call a man first and i told him about our promotion and all that.

And he said he's not interested.

So i hung up and proceeded to call the next number.

Then a woman answered and she was lyk " eh, it's the same person calling from that dont know what company la"

Then the man was lyk "give me the phone i talk to her"

And i was lyk........ ok great they are husband and wife. i'm sooooo dead.

Then he snatched over da phone and started screaming at me.

Guy: "WHY DO YOU KEEP CALLING US HUH?? WHERE DID YOU GET OUR NUMBER FROM"

Me: "Basically we are doing cross promotion with some major shopping centres and banks and
we got your name and number from there"

Guy: " WHICH SHOPPING CENTRE YOU GOT OUR NUMBER FROM, TELL ME, I AM NEVER GOING TO THAT SHOPPING CENTRE AGAIN"

Me: "I'm sorry, there are too many shopping centres already, i really have no idea which one in specific is the one"

Guy: " YOU KEEP CALLING AND WASTE MY PHONE BILL MAN"

Me: "Oh, i'm so sorry, sorry"

Guy: "TELL ME WHICH SHOPPING CENTRE YOU GOT OUR NUMBER FROM, I AM GOING TO SEND MY PHONE BILL OVER AND MAKE THEM PAY FOR ME"

Me: "I'm sorry i really dont know"

I was so terrified that i couldnt think properly and i said :

"thankyou for the inconvenience caused"

Then i realised that i have just made the DUMBEST statement of the year.

After that the man slammed down the phone when i was still explaining halfway.

And after that darned conversation i seriously felt lyk cryin.

ARGH

I'm just doing my job and he makes it sound lyk it's my friggin fault.

By the way, that man's surname is Gay.

Okay. shall not go into further details.

Scenario 3:

Me: "Hello, may i speak to Mr XXX please"

Human: "He's not in"

Me: " Ohh okay. you are the daughter is it?"

Insulted human: " No i'm the son"

Me: ".......... Ohhh. oh. haha. sorry about that. byeee"

-_____________-"

Dont blame me. blame the phone.

Okay.. then yesterday knocked off at 6pm.. and i decided to go over to Marina Square to walk walk shop shop~~~

After going there with yong that day i'm lyk dying to go there and shop HAHA.

Then when i walked out of da company, i had to cross a road to go over to da other side to walk to city hall mrt.

At tt point of tym it was drizzling slightly..

So........ i crossed da road.

And when i was crossing da road........

Some car on the road wind down the window and there was this guy that looks lyk a 19 or 20 yr old.

And he was lyk " eh, kuai dian jing lai jiang lai! xia yu le, kuai dian jing lai~ "

Then his fren was lyk laughing idiotically at da side.

And i was lyk... stunned =.=

For one moment i was still tinking if that was my dad's fren or sth and i NEARLY got up da car.

But after that i realised tt dey are juz a retarded bunch of jokers so i faster crossed da road and ran away.

GODDD.

What is this man......

first day of work~

-

I'm so tired now...

Damn sleepy -.-

Okay i tink i can just save that two lines as a template cos i'm forever tired.

So... today was my first day of work at SNAPZ.

And thanks to my bro, i was late.
(actually i'm just tryin to find someone to push the blame to)

Den when i reached, i undergo some training again first, and after lunch, i officially started makin phone calls out.

For the first hour it really was very depressing.

Not a single deal.

And i started to get not very enthusiastic about it. lol.

Then the other telemarketers were like saying try not to call guys cos usually guys dont go for this kinda makeover photoshoot tingy.

So i tried to avoid the guys on my list.

But suddenly, i dont know what happened, perhaps god threw a miracle down.

I got my first deal from a guy.

And i clinched the deals consecutively for the next 3 phone calls.

And all my customers are men -.-

After that my luck didnt stay that good but i managed to clinch another deal, also from a male customer.

It's not like i dont have any female customers. I DO.

But she texted us back and said that her husband didnt allow her to come for the photoshoot, so the appointment is cancelled.

One deal gone.

T.T

At first i was thinking that i was like damn useless.

But in the end i turned out to have the most Qs.

Everyone had like zero or one, and my idiotic bro had 2, but HAHAHA, i beat him, i got FIVE!

WHEEEE xD

But whether they really keep their word and turn up or not is another thing..

They better dont pangseh me or i'd tell their wifes that they are having an affair with a woman outside HAHAHAAA

Okay. not funny.

Yupp anyways, towards the end of my work, i was gettin damn restless so i went to call liujun using the identity of a telemarketer, and i recited to her my whole pitch and she was like " sorry i'm not interested"

After that i couldnt help laughing and i asked her " by the way, do u have a friend by the name of zhilin? "

And she said "ya"

And i said "and that's me"

Then she was lyk totally shocked. she said i sounded lyk some act cute idiot. LOL

After that i called Valerie and Jun as well, and they didnt know that it was me
(tho after tt jun claimed that he knew it was me all along, but I DONT BELIEVE. LALALA)

Haha. so fun.

How i love talking on the phone xD

But it could get quite sian sometimes lol.

Oh and there were a few customers that literally made me laugh over the phone.

People that are easily amused really shouldnt be telemarketers.
Eg. Liew Zhi Lin.

Haha. i was calling this customer that was supposed to be a mary, but a man answered, and i said " hello, is this mary? "

And after saying that, i felt stupid myself =.=

Oh, and there was one that made me hang up the phone even before i could say bye bcos i bursted out laughing.

Me: "Hi, is it convenient for you to talk now? "

Guy: "No...... i lost my voice"

After i heard that sentence i bursted out laughing.

Damn funny la.

But apparently when i told the other Telemarketers this, everyone was lyk tryin very hard to laugh. B

Sorry.

And there was another one where i'm supposed to call a Mr Gwee.

Then an Ahma answered.

Me: "Hello may i speak to mr gwee"

Ahma: " HUH??"

Me: "Mr Gwee"

Ahma: "HUH?! 你找谁啦?? "

Me ( for the 3rd time) : "Mr Gwee"

Ahma: "这边没有 xia mi Mr Gwee laa! "

And i hung up the phone laughing again.

Then i am supposed to call this guy whose name is.......... Min Min.

And i decided to skip him cos i know i will burst out laughing again when i go :

" Hello may i speak to Mr Min Min"

Ohh. and for part of the admin work i hafta ask if the customer is married or single, so i was lyk asking this male customer that.

And he was like " oh, i am single and available. hahaha "

And i'm like -.-

Okay............

By the way, he was my first successful customer.

Eeew la.

Ya.. and still got a few other amusing calls but i dont think it is amusing to you guys so i shan't go on listing them out before u all move your mouse pointer to the "x" sign at the top right hand corner of the screen. LOL.

Ohhh. u know just now when i was taking bus home, got one group of semi-beng guys board da bus and sat at da back of me.

Then i got off da bus, one of them whistled to me la.

And the other guy was like "cheebai"

Cos he was so paiseh his fren did that. lol.

And i dont know why guys like to say that so much.

Neither do i understand why guys LOVE to leave their last finger nail long

There are so many things i dont understand.

But i have no time to list them out cos i just realised that IT IS LIKE 7:38PM AND I AM GOING TO BE LATEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Going for night cycling lol.

OH. and i totally forgot that i've got work tml. SHIAT.

But i've alr promised them. ahhhhhhh.

Nvms nvms~ juz go and see how first bah. lol

Tatas~~ ^^

Today's my first day of work and i'm so gonna be late cos of my darned bro

BRRR.

Okays anyway. thanks to him i have time allowance to blog now =.=

Last night Singapore Poly called and told me i got accepted into their Media and Communications course.

Which is actually a slightly newer version of Mass Comm la.

I was lyk kinda shocked when i received da phone call, and it put me into a dillema again.

Cos I've already accepted the Leisure and Resort Management from Temasek Poly, then now suddenly come another one.

Besides, I've been wanting to do Mass Comm for all my life.

But after hearing my aunt weigh between the 2 courses' pros & cons, i tink i'm gna stick to my LRM.

The career prospects are better, plus da sch is nearer. haha xD

Okok i gtg ler. Hopefully i dont screw up my first day of work!

Tatas~
