gosh! i think i've made too many emotional entries lately. =)anyway, let me share a lil part of my working experince. i have worked in my dad's office probably since i started learning at the age of 5-6. when i was young, that was my lil playground. i run ard, sit ard, and watch others work. i even got cut by penknife when i played with it. as i grew older, i took up more responsibilities. i helped out in the yr end, to take calls and orders. i slowly learnt more and more. from office to productions. i started to become more n more professional since my upper sec times, partly bc im matured enuf to know what is gg on. this yr, in these 6-7 mths that i've spent with the company, i've learnt even more. i've been given more tasks to accomplish. n i tackled them in my own ways. nth was much of an obstacle to me, bc i knew my job scope well enuf, and i know how to communicate with others well enuf. then, i met with a problem. people. people that i get to meet. customers goes without saying, is a natural irritant to all svc providors. but when u serve with a pride, a smile, a confidence, there's no prob handling them. but there r just a certain group of people that r difficult to handle. everyone have probably met some pushy salesperson in the shopping centres, those that come to your door to promote, or even the telemarketers. but these ppl come n go. for my case, they (the sales person of some product that my company is considering to take up) can pester me up to 3 times a week, causing a hassle and pressure in my life, that makes me feel like leaving my job sometimes. its not totally their fault to promote and push their customers to purchase their products. but daddy was indeed not decided or not in the rush to confirm. plus the company had other priorities and projects that r ongoing. so i could only report to my dad everytime these ppl give us a better offer. but daddy would nv be able to decide or give me a firm ans. so i have to delay n delay. somehow, they lk to call n call, push n push, up to an extend that i fear to pick up calls. n up till today, i still fear picking up the phone. another type of ppl that i met was customers that dont pay up. i had a chance to go for a meeting with a printing firm, to ask them to settle the payment. we met with the MD, and he started comparing prices to say that we are expensive. he blamed his managers and purchasers for having purchased our svc at high prices compared to our competitors, but mind you, they had quotations beforehand and he only compared the prices aft they received their goods. so its equivalent to gg to a restaurant to have a sumptuous meal, but after you finish your meal, you go next door to look at their prices, and then tell the waiter that their prices r higher. THEN DONT YOU KNOW HOW TO LOOK AND COMPARE THE PRICES BEFORE YOU ENTER? they must have definitely put in other considerations lk SERVICE, QUALITY, ETC! and his argument for us to lower our prices, was that given for the no of years that they have worked with us, we would have definitely earned alot from them, and it wouldnt be too much for us to lower our prices. HOHOHO. what a joke. dear sir, you r not a freshie in the market and r u sure dont compare and check prices before you purchase the goods?! argh! then we went back for discussions and due to the tight n busy schedule of the MD, we always had to push n push N PUSH our meetings back back for weeks. there are other issues discussed in various meetings that we met. but lil of whatever he's said had seem valid to me. when i rebutted, i just felt my blood level increasing all the way to my head. but he taught me a lesson. a good lesson that ill rmb. BOSSES ARE SIMPLY SCHEMING PPL. it can be seen frm all his words that he's actually very calculative. but im sorry sir. bc i can read that mind of yours too. THEY PUT WORDS VERY NICELY TO MAKE THEM SOUND GOOD, BUT ACTUALLY THEY JUST THOUGHT REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY WORKS. at the age of 18, i've seen many faces of the world and i alr know many things that wont suppose to be known or wont be known to an 18 yrs old. there are times when i simply wanna be navie, lk when im with the family, or times that i just wanna keep quiet or i choose not to say it. but at the back of my mind, its nv shut. bc i have to constantly look out for myself and for others. i have to look out for my sis n mum, bc they can be really blur. i have to look out for my friends, so that we dont walk in the wrong directions or make the wrong decisions. its very tiring sometimes. bc i always have to be prepared for the worst to happen on me, just in case i become the only person left among the family or friends. i tried to shut off sometimes. but i realised, once i shut off, smth will go wrong. n once, i just shut of for 1 minute. and a mistake was made. but its just my character that doesnt want careless mistakes to happen. sometimes, im too tired to open my eyes. im sorry if im frank, im sorry if im hash, im sorry if i've hurt you. and im sorry if i looked fierce or strict. bc i've been always analysing n watching out, that i want you to know your mistakes and stop making them again. but tell me, if im the one at fault. i wanna be remembered for my laughter, i wanna be remembered for my smile. mummy say im just a 开心果. i laugh when im happy, i cry when im sad. sometimes, i just wanna move away from being who i am, n be the youngest of them all. but i nv succeeded in doing so. and this is a lil part of my life i wanna share with my loved ones. bc i know they care and love me, i wanna repay them the same way. but sometimes, my method may be wrong. if so, pls tell me. thank you. =) ill cont to smile my way into the rainbows and sunshines of my life. ♥ shanjoo
