lemon 1000

"hi do you want to try? its a new drink by pokka. each bottle has 1000mg of vitamin C, equivalent to 12 lemons."

i said this like 5 million times within 2 days. did personal canvassing last weekend with rx,terry-ble and alvin tan. managed to see alot of babes and hunks with great bods..and realized that i am more interested in the female best abs contest than i am in the men's category. oops. the men...no eye candy there u see. all they have are great bods. sad to say, i am a looks-girl..so i do care about looks! no need some handsome guy, no need to be tall or tanned. as long as he's got good skin and i can stand loking at his face for pro-longed period of time. haha..but thats hard to find! and terry is really terrible..he asked rx n i "why is it that in the 2 years in hall, you don't find a bf?" isn't that another way of saying "there must be something wrong with u" or "why are you still single? HAHAHA!"

our job was to give out drinks sample and sell the bottle drink. seems easy, but wait till the ugly side of singaporeans reveal themselves.though there are people who refuse to try, there are more people who not only try, they try alot.u can never poor fast enough coz sometimes people just rush up to the booth and ask to try, either that or some people just can't get enough. they try so many times, and ask to fill up their cups. what the..? and there was this uncle..wa liew..he came for both days and everytime, ask us to fill the cup to the brim and drank so many times.i was so peeved that i told him "uncle since u like it so much and came for both days, why don't you buy some home?" i think i managed to shock alvin haha..first time he see me so hostile. another thing which makes rx and me blood boil is the boss. she has no sense of artistic direction and insist we do up the booth in cartain ways. hengwe didn't listen to her for everything. not only so, she has no common sense, and no proper system to get things done. everything is so messy and haphazard. she also has no sense of TIME. we were supposed to report at 630pm and she only met us at 7pm for a supposed briefing. in the end, it was not a briefing but to decorate and arrange the stall. we were supposed to start work at 10am but she got here at 11plus. she's supposed to come back at 2pm plus so rx and i can go have lunch. she got back at 6pm and act surprised that we haven't eat lunch. halo!!! u only asked the guys to go eat!!! and when there are 3 of us at the booth, 1 should keep pouring samples and the other 2 serve right? she insist on being the 1 to pour and rx and i serve. but she keeps running back to sit and count money. so who pour? when rx and i go pour, she'll rush out and say u 2 go serve.i'll pour. duh! so angry!!!

however, we do have some fun. when theboss is not around of coz! which is most of the time la. coz she'll disappear to god knows where. we joke around, laugh at the contestants and performers on stage..eat mash potatoes and hop over to our neighbours to eat noodles etc..and the pay was not bad, coz she did not try to cut our hours (though she was not here to check) and for that we give her credit la. though shes not the 1 paying the wages. haha. in all, maneged to make some extra cash, which i promptly spent it on shoes...diao...bought 2 pairs of heels thogh i KNOW they'll give me pain and blisters, and i cant take bus in it...who wants to drive me?
