~~~~~A Memorable Christmas??~~~~~


24th and 25th December 2005, those are the days I'll never forget... It was my first time I missed Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas day... Usually I would celebrate these two special days with my whole entire family but for this year, I had to work... I didn't have the chance to celebrate Christmas Eve dinner with my family... I only went back to eat food that my family reserved for me... And that was already around 9:30pm and all of my other family members left around 9pm... I really felt so left out at that time...

Now comes yesterday... Christmas Day itself, the birth of Jesus Christ, I didn't attend church with my whole family again as I had to work... Oh yes, by the way, Fujitsu had a roadshow starting from the 21st to 25th December... So all of us were very busy for the past five days... Alright, back to my yesterday... I had to stand for don't know how many freaking hours for the past three days trying my best to get customers to purchase from us, The Main Seller Of Fujitsu, than from the other Fujitsu booths that sells other products too... Tears came out from my eyes and my heart sank when I saw my family and I went different ways... I took the train to City Hall while they took the train to Pasir Ris, where our church is located... I couldn't stop the tears from flowing... I just kept on drying them over and over again but it couldn't stop flowing...

Right now, when I look back, I know that the Lord hasn't forgotten me... Let me tell you why... On Christmas Eve, I was already sad enough that I got no mood to sell anything but, in the end; I sold a DeskPower (desktop) to a customer who is a Christian... So I thought to myself, "Maybe I was just lucky since it was Christmas Eve"... Then history repeated itself yesterday... A Christian family approached me, wanting to buy a laptop for their dear daughter... A salesman already attended to them before me but in the end, they came to their decision in purchasing the laptop, their daughter wanted, from me after I introduced them to a laptop she was interested in... Those customers really brightened up my Christmas Eve and Christmas Day... I don't know whether it was just coincidence that both of my customers were Christians or were they sent by the Lord but what I believe in is that, the Lord showed me that He hasn't forgotten about me although I was working... THANK YOU FATHER FOR BRIGHTENING UP MY CHRISTMAS!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!! & hAppY BiRtHdAy To YoU JESUS!! =)

~~~~~Been Long!!~~~~~

It's been a long time since I last updated my blog... So I'm going to summarize what has happened the whole entire week...

Last Monday and Tuesday were my off days so I'm not going to write what I did on those two days... Nothing much anyways...

Now it's time for Wednesday... I went all the way to Peninsula Plaza to photocopy some papers and books for my boss... Well, Peninsula Plaza wasn't that far but it was drizzling so I had to run across the road trying my best to cover the papers from not getting wet... Luckily I caught my boss when I was going up to the Fujitsu Main Outlet or else she won't get the papers she wanted on time...

Thursday was a very happy day for me as I managed to sell not one laptop but, two laptops... One of the customers was really like a trouble-maker as I had a hard time agreeing to his terms but in the end, my commission was put on the line and he bought the laptop finally...

Friday I managed to attend to my potential customer, which came the day before, decided to purchase the laptop that I introduced to them... The married couple was very happy that I threw in a few items for the actual price they paid for the laptop... These are customers which I can never forget... They are so grateful to me and they just made my day a sunshine...

Today I did nothing much as there weren't many customers but I went to Peninsula Plaza again to photocopy the price list for my supervisor but there were printing errors so, all the 100 copies had to me edited by hand... One had to cancel the wrong specification and the other had to write in the correct specification and all these were done by hand... Lucky it wasn't me doing that as I had to attend to the customers since I wasn't present for a while...

Overall, I feel that these two weeks seemed like two months already... We know most of the specifications on our LifeBooks (laptops), DeskPower (desktops), Plasma Televisions and other items we sell... I have learnt a lot during these two weeks and I've grown even much closer to my seniors... So THANK YOU ALL!!

Well... gonna chill out on my guitar a while before hitting the sack, since tomorrow is my off day anyways.... so cya real soon alright.... bye folks........ so long and goodnight, so long and goodnight............ TaKe CaRe you all yo.... NiTeZz to all my real homies and fellow readers out there somewhere visiting my blogsite and reading about my daily activities... Thanks for visiting...

~~~~~Updates~~~~~

Yesterday I was posted to the Fujitsu Bridge Outlet with Matthew, my senior... He was a funny guy, in his own way... He's a great teacher in teaching how to calculate the cost price of the accessories and laptops and what would be the selling price I should be selling to the customers... He also showed me who are the potential customers and who are the customers who only want cheap prices, in his own description... I was all alone during lunch hour and I had to attend to 4 different customers at the same time... Matthew wasn't around at that time but luckily, all those customers were just passer-bys and weren't that interested in buying a laptop... So I actually wasted all my saliva telling them about the laptops... It's entertaining working together with him... Oh yes, he also sold a Desktop PC and I helped him to install the Microsoft Office into the customer's PC... He's one CooL!! dude, I mean boss...

Today, Justin and I were posted to the Fujitsu Bridge Outlet with another senior, Gary... He was another CooL!! dude... He's also another joker, telling us about customers who are just lazy to go to the information counter... They are the ones who keeps asking us the most obvious destination they want to go in the mall itself... We slacked a lot today as there were not many customers but we managed to sell a wireless router and a laptop casing bag thanks to Gary...

In conclusion over the past few days, I feel that I've grown closer to my seniors and I've learnt a lot from them so far... They may seem like the "Ah Beng" type, but they're very patient in teaching us... So far, I think it's worth being in this internship... Thank You!!

Well... gonna hit the sack soon.... tomorrow and Sunday I have to work... so cya real soon alright.... bye folks........ so long and goodnight, so long and goodnight............ TaKe CaRe you all yo.... NiTeZz to all my real homies and fellow readers out there somewhere visiting my blogsite and reading about my daily activities... Thanks for visiting...

~~~~~First Day!!~~~~~

Wow!! Today was the first day of my Internship Attachment Program... I was really excited in what I was suppose to do and what laptop models, Plasma Televisions, accessories and etc. I am supposed to sell everyday... I am posted to Funan The IT Mall Centre and I'm going to work for Fujitsu for 6 weeks... Tomorrow and Wednesday are my off days for this week... So that's the reason why I can still update my blog... Anyways, back to doing sales...

There I was standing and reading on all the features of the laptops displayed and all of the sudden, a couple walked in... So I took a deep breath and started introducing the newest laptops and asking them what would their laptop be used for etc. ... So they asked me to demonstrate on the all new Tablet PC, T4020... I made a fool out of myself as I didn't exactly know how the touch screen actually works as it uses a special touch pen which I had difficulty in mastering the use of it... So there goes my customer... Well, after embarrassing myself, I was more focus in memorizing all the laptops displayed and I finally did it... After our lunch time, there were more customers that I had to attend to, more than the morning slot... I managed to sell an external hard disk drive and WoW!! the feeling of selling something to a customer is priceless as you'll feel the satisfaction and you're more determine to sell more... I got a few customers who also wanted to buy Fujitsu Televisions but upon hearing the price of it, they turned away... So I decided to show them the best in our market... It costs only $6, 888... It is worth considering as it is very special... You won't believe me even if I wrote all the features here... You have to see it; to believe it...

Our working hours are from 10:30am to 8:00pm... So when the clock struck 8, I made my way to meet my mother for dinner after closing the shop with my seniors... We went to dine at Swensen's for dinner...

Well... gonna chill out on my guitar for a while before hitting the sack.... so cya real soon alright.... bye folks........ so long and goodnight, so long and goodnight............
