How to Stay Active the Whole Day

When you go to work, the mornings are always the hardest part. Agree?

Waking up is one thing, taking the cold shower is another, and getting through the morning rush takes it to another level.

You can't escape it, hell no. 

It's kinda funny to see how people seem to be so sleepy in the morning.

Sleeping in the train, on the bus, while driving and so on.

Everyday of this shit makes you unhealthy

I'm never sleepy in the morning. In fact, i'm at my freshest best.

Why? 

Because i RAGE a lot, especially in the morning.

RAGE at the elevator stopping at every fucking floor, RAGE at those people who just don't fucking know how stand on the left side of the escalator, RAGE at the people who take their fucking sweet time to walk and block the whole pathway, RAGE at the coffee machine, RAGE RAGE RAGE!!!!

Well, that kept me going, and that kept my blood pumping all day long.

So, there you go, a tip no one else will give on how to stay active the whole day.

The answer is RAGE.

On a happier note, today is Friday!

Hello weekends!

Cerita Basi

Now the story that i wanted to tell is basi already. Sigh.
Never mind though.

I already mentioned about the warehouse sales in my last post right?
Now the story continues.
The last time, i told you about the tagging thingy right?
This time, it's even better.
It's unpacking and displaying.
Hell yeah. There's a total of 94 freaking cartons to be unpacked and displayed. If tagging was hard, this was even worse. The tagging thingy took around 8 hours to complete. This one took 12. Nice.
But somehow, it doesn't sound as bad as it may seem. Since it's in a hotel with proper air-conditioning and all, it's really fun actually.


The warehouse sales, dubbed the "Brandsales" was held at one of the ballrooms in Shangri-La Hotel KL. The ballroom isn't as big as i imagined though. But still, it's enough to place stuffs from Raoul, Guess by Marciano, Celine and Banana Republic. There were some luxury watches too.
The event started from Friday and ends on Sunday.
For this event, we just had to wear jeans and shirts, so, it was kinda relaxed. No boutique ettiquette needed.
The first day was frantic i tell you. It's a Friday, and come lunch time, which is extra long due to the Friday prayers (which i obviously missed, ahem), the crowd was like mad. It was like Petaling Street already, no, no, more like pasar malam.


The Raoul shirts are placed on the selling floor and no staff is needed over there. So, it's like every man for himself. Since there's no staff manning the shirts, people start dropping them on the floor and all. Who cares eh?
Then, there's the Raoul counter, which has shoes for men and ladies, ladies' handbags, cufflinks and SLGs. There were around 4 of us behind the counter. And i was mainly in charge of the ladies' handbags and shoes. When the Friday lunchtime comes, suddenly it felt like a freaking tsunami. RM350 handbags are sold like pisang goreng.
Somehow, the ladies' shoes didn't sell that much, but men's shoes sold well just like a bloody pendrive at a PC Fair.

The first day was really tiring, really. But the great thing is, food is provided, and there's no need for manners and ettiquette unlike in the boutique.
In the boutique, you have to be very gentle, polite and all with the customers. Here, heh.
Sendiri mau ingat. haha. Can even speak a la pasar malam people with the customers some more.

"Alo sir, this kasut aa, made in italy oo. Ni ori punya leather. Bukan ciplak. Ni dah murah gila dah ni. Kat Petaling Street pun tak boleh dapat!"

"Semua baju yang ada kat situ, itu je la. Kalau takde saiz maknenye dah takde la tu."

"You pakai ini kasut manyak ngam oo. Ala, murah saja maa. Ambik dua la!"

It was kinda fun. A pasar malam experience in a hotel. Now that doesn't come along every other day huh? If i were to speak like that in the boutique, heaven knows what those rich fucking bastards would do. hahaha


The second and third day however, was a far far cry from the first. There were not many people. It's a fucking weekend, and it's a fucking sale, but there's not many people. WTF? I don't really mind though. This means that there's even more time to lepak and waste time and gossip and all. There's even free coffee outside courtesy of the hotel. So, apa lagi, bedal la. Almost every half an hour we will order different types of coffee. Capuccino, mocha, latte, earl grey tea and what not. LOL. There's even one time where there are more staffs smoking and having coffee than the staffs inside the ballroom. Nice eh?

Taking a photo is part of the work too

In the end, it was quite a good event, although it could have been better. However, i had such a great time there, and i learnt a lot of stuffs from that few days, seriously. Great experience, good times. Hopefully there's more to come.

Oh and of course, there's this one really fucking cool Raoul sneakers that i really wanted. I reserved it since the unpacking day. It's simply perfect. There's 3 colours, bronze, silver and gold, and i really like the silver one. Perfect condition, perfect size and everything. It's bloody cheap too! I reserved it until the end of the sales... just to let it go in the end. Why?
Ahh.. That's for me to know and for you to wonder. Sigh.

Oh, and by the way, i actually hate posting something with big gaps. Makes me forget what i wanted to post. Actually, there's just too many things to tell, but too little time i guess. Busy lah katekan. Hahaha.

Oh shit, i'm working tomorrow. I forgot. I better sleep.
Zzz

Tagging

No, i'm not talking about the tag that bloggers used to do.
Not the i-tag-you-you-tag-me thingy.

Today, work was a bit different. I did not go to the boutique. Instead, i had to go to the warehouse in PJ to do some tagging. Tagging, in this context, means to put a price tag on the item(s). Siap ada definition tu!
So, i had to wake up freakin' early, 7, to be precise. I had to take the Putra LRT to Asia Jaya so that they can pick me and go straight to the warehouse.
So, let's just skip the waiting story and the breakfast story and go straight to the tagging part.

You see, the company FJ Benjamin is going to have a warehouse sale sometime this week. Therefore, i, among the unlucky chosen ones have been asked to put a new price tag for the sales items. Fine, i don't mind since i have never been to a warehouse before and have never done this sort of thing.

There's a total of 84 cartons or kotak (the word carton makes me think of cigarettes LOL). Inside these cartons are handbags, shirts, shoes, SLGs, dresses and everything. Basically, what we had to do is simple.

1. Pick a carton.
2. Open it.
3. Stick the new price tag of the items on top of the current price tag.
4. Put everything back inside the carton.
5. Seal it (but not with a kiss lah kan).
6. Rinse and repeat over and over and over again.

Simple, innit?
Well, not so.

There are some items which does not have a price tag, and so a new one must be made. Then there are some items that are such a pain in the assssss. For the SLGs (thats soft/small leather goodies for you), it is packaged inside a bag, and you have to take it out from the bag, then open the zipper and take out the tag. It is so bloody time consuming. And multiply that by 84 fucking cartons.
It took the 6 (initially 4) of us around 8 hours to do this process called "tagging".
And not forgetting moving and lifting big heavy cartons. What a workout.
Now sakit belakang already.
Sigh.

But still, the whole thing is fun and interesting though. And most importantly, the sales items are really cheap!
Not "really" cheap, but kinda cheap lah. Now that's where the fun kicks in.
Since i will be at the warehouse sales, i couldn't stop looking and surveying all those nice items that's gonna be put on sale.

Shoe 1

Shoe 2

Take a look at both of the shoes. Both costs around RM800++.
Damn, right?
But at the warehouse sale, the price will be slashed to RM180, only.
Great huh?


That is just a few among the thousands of items. Niceeeee.
Raoul boxers are just RM 30 each. Ladies' skirts, shirts, tops and others are 2 for RM180, which is also a very good deal i think, considering the original prices of the items. Men's ties are only RM90 from the original RM219, and dresses for ladies are priced at RM150 instead of the usual RM500 and above.
Why so cheap meh?
There's no problem with the items. It's just out of season. What the hell, who gives a fuck anyway. I certainly don't mind.
I'm really interested in buying a wallet or something like that, which is just RM50-RM70 instead of the RM200+.
Oh, and the great thing about the sale is, that since this is all under the company FJ Benjamin, there's also products from Banana Republic, Guess by Marciano, GAP and some others that i can't remember, i think.

Time to save a lot of energy and of course a whole lot of moolah for the warehouse sales!
Muahahahahaha

Work & Play

It is important to keep a balance between work and play, or so they say.
And hell yes, that is what i am trying to do now.
For the past 2 weeks or so, i've been working.
Yes, working.
No menyampahkan diri, no idling, no doing nothing. Ahem.

Considering the fact that the holiday is around 2 months, and there's not much thing to do at home (ahem), and rather than membazir duit, i might as well earn some money right?
And so, off to work i go.

Currently, i'm working at Raoul at Pavilon/Starhill Gallery.
It has one boutique in Pavilion and 2 more in Starhill Gallery. So, sometimes i'll be in Pavi and some other times i'll be in Starhill.


Since it's a boutique, or some sort of, there's not that many customers like Topman or Forever 21. And it's items are expensive too.

Being a sales associates (bukan promoter okay) who works in a boutique can be quite fun yet boring. The boring part is that i have to stand a fucking lot and that's about it. Only a handful of people walk in to the shop, let alone buy stuffs. So basically, there's even a lot of time to menyampahkan diri at work. hahaha

Although i've only been working there for around 2 weeks, i've learned quite a lot of stuffs already. Experience counts! And i've seen even a lot more. Yeah, i spend the whole day people-watching. Great.

Enough of the work crap, it's time to focus on football now. The Champions League Final of course. It's just a few more hours to go, and hell yeah of course i'm gonna watch it, even if it means being sleepy at work tomorrow (when not?).
Of course, i'll be gunning (ahem) for Barcelona. Never in a million years will i support Manshitster United. Hmmph.

Barcelona oh Barcelona, please win tonight so that there's at least something to cheer about this season. Please.

And hopefully, my next post will be a happy one.
Time to go out, lepak and watch futbol!
