That was close...

On Monday, I went to work at 10.30am as usual, manager brought the four of us, which are Mirah, Shu Hui, Xiang Nee and me to rove from home to home at Kebakat again because we received a call from a customer stating he is interested to register P1, of course we quickly arrived there as we may get one sale from him. After explaining all the rules and regulation, he finally agree to register  with us, thank God...

There are many stray dogs at the area, so Mirah was quite scared and she stays at a close range with manager, but he always like to scare her by saying:"Kawan kamu tu Mirah..." then he would laugh when she tremble with fear. After that, we went to roving at nearby area before settling down in Tesco for lunch. As usual, manager paid the bill but I refused to accept his treat by went to a stall nearby and bought a wafer which cost me RM4.20 with a cup of Milo. A very expensive lunch...

After lunch, manager drove the car to a renovation site where a new yacht settled in water. The five of us went on board the yacht and took some pictures before leaving and heading to Salor Pasir Mas, manager lost in the middle of traffic and luckily he used his GPS... No sale made at here so we change our course to Peringat near Bachok, at there we encountered with several stray dogs but still with no sale. Then manager took us to Tok Bali and enjoyed some coconut drink with fried food. The air was so cool and relaxing, I couldn't recall the last time I actually went to the beach with my family, it was almost 10 years I think...

Then, manager realized the fuel tank almost empty, we were so scared it would end up like last time where the car engine couldn't be ignited again! Plus, the road was starting to jam with cars. But we were able to reach a gas station and I was muttering: That was close!

Battery problem...

Just want to share my experience...

On last Friday, after roving, manager treated us roti canai at Morak, near Kebakat there. That day, Xiang Nee absent as her grandma was hospitalized, so I was left with Shu Hui, Mirah and Miejah. Because the roving car was modificated, it has power supply(can plug electronic equipment) and it's connected to car battery. When we left the car, Mirah told manager not to turned off the modem  with the power supply as she wanted to online and log in FB, so the switch wasn't off. After half an hour, around 8.45pm, we finished the dinner and ready to leave Morak and returned to KBmall PC Fair, then, EPIC MOMENT!

THE CAR CANNOT START!!! Yup, manager wasn't able to start the car, the engine just won't ignite, in the middle of night, with nobody known, and boss away from KB, we're done... Luckily Shu Hui called her dad who worked as a foreman, he tried to come as soon as she called. Then Shu Hui and me sat at the back of the truck and started to act crazy as the wind blow with Shu Hui shouting: "P1 wimax, P1wimax!", it was dark and many mosquitoes. Uncle arrived in less than half an hour and charged the battery of the car, the engine did ignite! Thank God... But he told our manager the car will not start again if we off the engine again. So, our manager had to send us home first, hahaha~ I reached home around 10pm-11pm...

This was just the second day I work but already faced such funny incident...




Employed...

Finally, I found a job, at least I'm not jobless and there's hope for me to save money and buy a laptop with my own effort, I feel great! At first, I thought I wouldn't be accepted because it was a terrible interview...

I remembered that day, when I'm surfing internet, suddenly I felt so useless, there's no hope in finding any job. But then my sister told me about the newly opened shop with 'Help Wanted' paper shown on the glass door, so I decided to strive my best, without hesitation, I stepped into the shop and asked for job, then the boss interviewed me on the spot, his first question made me speechless... What do you know about P1 wimax? I searched through my mind but nothing came into my thought, so I answered generally, he laughed and explained to me, then as usual, he continued to ask about myself and finally, he asked me to wait for his call. I gave up when I reached home, reviewing my own answers to his questions.

To my surprise, he did message me and told me to join the training tomorrow, so I showed up on time, 10.30am. I saw two other girl sitting there and then manager came to educate us about P1 wimax, it was what I feared the most, a job as a salesman! I wanted to quit on the spot but I manage to hold myself. I make friends with the other two girls, Shu Hui and Xiang Nee, we get along soon after the 1pm break for lunch. 2pm, I returned to the shop and was asked to change into P1 uniform, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING ROVING!!! Gosh, first day but already going to sale...

We went to Kampung Cina, manager drove the car and three of us sitting behind,whereas another Malay girl, Mirah sat in front. Due to the presence of many stray dogs, manager change our destination to PCB. We actually went to PCB to eat some food and have some drinks because our transmission station somehow didn't emit any signal (that means no sales). Manager offered to treat us beverages but three of us refused to order one. After a few round of roving from home to home, we're sent back to shop, but also being told that the next day we'll need to distribute flyers at Kbmall as PC Fair was held three days starting the next day! There goes the boring and felt neglected day, people saw you as money vacuum, avoiding you as far as they can! I mean, come on! We're just doing work...

But when the manager saw no sales at all in KBmall, he decided to go roving after lunch, wow! GREAT... So, for three days, on morning we stayed at KBmall, at afternoon we went roving at Kebakat. Roving also didn't seem working, people just don't accept our brochure, some even treated you as if you're crazy.

Tired days, and I hope I could hold onto this work...
