yay i didnt know so many pple are heading to nus! (: (: (:

i thought everyone wanted business and is considering either ntu or smu!yayy at least i'll see more from 75 in my uni yrs although my faculty is damn far from the rest haha.

anyway today is my last day at YP.I FEEL SO SAD!keith and i went around talking to everyone and shaking their hands..and i felt like it was a really nice ending..as in i didnt have to leave crying u know.then i waited for keith to smoke and walked to the mrt.before we parted at the barrier cos we're going in opposite directions, he was like "do u realise we also wont be seeing each other anymore?"then i suddenly realised i'll not only be saying bye to the rest but also to him!because it came so suddenly i just was like ya hor,and said all the take care and all those stuff.. and when i went past the barrier i just felt like crying so badly.like everyone was super nice and wished me all the best for my studies..the finance pple..my dear tsales collegues...
and they had training today so there was food upstairs..and 2 of my collegues actually brought down food for me without knowing that each other is bringing food down so i have like 2 big plates of food..i felt so touched...

haiz.the pple at YP are really very nice.if only the job is nicer then i'll go work there every holiday haha.

ok la, tian xia wu bu san zhi yan xi.. so i should leave(and live) happily and look forward bah.

so here comes my holiday!dont know if i should go back to givaudan to work.feel like resting already.seehow la.i seriously cant decide.haiz.

*caution* - long post haha.skip this post if u want bah.just penning some thoughts.

i think this week has been a good experience for me.

i came into yellowpages,had the fun of my life doing saigang and calling for followups,chase payment and read up on dc for 2wks.it was fun with the interns,reihorng and sam.

then it was calling for dc for 2 weeks.which was ok la,stress cos we fooled around too much prev and got into deep shit.plus dc isnt that nice to sell.experienced a meet up anyway.

got used to dc,then i changed job again.got to handle incoming calls for the newspaper ad as well as random calls where pple make their complains,look for sales rep whose name they've forgotten(and think im God and know everything).

this wk was to sell yellowpages and iyp cos they're closing and it's a mad rush to call wadeva cards left.turns out to be one of the best wks and the one which i learnt the most from.

i resented it at 1st.making us call cards that the perms have alr called,knowing full well that the movie ticket promised for 5NBs is pretty much out of reach.plus there are so many packages and prices for yp that it was pretty confusing at 1st.didnt know how to start talking to customers,fumbled my way through each call and getting more dejected as the minutes trickled by.

then i finally somehow got used to it and tada i got my 1st deal.sheer luck but i did try my best to sell(i had to explain everything in CHINESE for like more than 20min to an extremely fickleminded guy).and i learn some little tricks to allow everything to run more efficiently hee.then all the fun started.

somehow i didnt realised it till today.but everyday time did pass faster(cos for dc i had to save up my cards but for yp i can just keep calling and calling) and it was pretty enjoyable after awhile.guess because the agm was sick the entire wk and the office atmosphere was certainly better).not only that,i felt that i learnt alot selling this than dc cos nobody ever understands dc so it's difficult to really be engaged with the customer.

and today michelle talked to me and asked like how's everything.so we had a tiny chat and i told her actually there wasnt any incentive for us to call alot cos well we dont have commission and all our cards are passed to someone else once the deal is clinched.she understood and was very nice..and she even knew that it wasnt really about the movie tickets.well...it really wasnt.it's a dumb incentive..it just cost the company the commission for selling the cheapest listing to customers.she said she knows that in the end it's all abt the money.yeah partly.but maybe not.i didnt feel like leaving the office today.just felt like calling till i finished my list.somehow it's a different kind of challenge and a sense of achievement when we can close a deal that matters.and i kind of wanted my 5 NBs for this wk.it IS a big thing.not all perms can achieve that even.i dont want to get the movie tickets because keith gave me one of his accts.ya im mad i know.but i like to achieve things by myself.it gives me a great sense of achievement.i like to take pride in my work and performance means alot to me.

in the end it's still 4.still good i guess.and michelle said i should try for a sales job next time cos she thinks im quite good at it and can earn alot.haha well i think im far from good.michelle is the superb one.of course she's been in sales much longer than i am la.but still she's really really good.it was really nice talking to her.at least i feel someone cares.

may i jiayou bah,and maybe i MIGHT just come back to YP next yr in may again.hahaha.
must seehow next wk goes 1st.as in emily lol.

I GOT ACCEPTED INTO PHARMACY!

MUAHAHA.

i really thank God for his guidance.from my Alevels to the results to the choice of course to the application outcome to the scholarship interview God has really taken me through all of it without me having to worry for it unduly.

i may sound arrogant,but i understand fully that all these is achieve with God and not by my own strength.a little less faith and i would be panicking during As,worrying like mad for my results,being damn nervous abt the interview,and having a dilemma as to wad course i should study in uni.God has not failed me even once,and i saw His bountiful grace on me.

taste and see that the Lord is good.i never knew wad this verse really meant until now.i've tasted and it's good.i am amazed,and all this made me trust in Him all the more -- in my relationships,my studies,my service,and my life.

Thank you Lord;

feels like a monday today.after the holiday ytd it feels like a new wk.like the office is pretty quiet and the mood is pretty gloomy.i didnt know pple can get friday blues.but im kind of having that now.no tgif mood lol.maybe cos yp just closed on wed.so it feels like a new start today.
an unexpected post,
anyway something to be happy abt is that im now abt 46kg only!unless the stupid weighing machine that my mum bought is not accurate,if not im really abt 46!wah i havent hit 46 since secondary school man.and im eating more now!like breakfast lunch tea dinner.looks like working is good in this sense.but i gained more weight when i was working at giv lol.the food there is just too nice la haha.
a sudden shock,
but guess wad.my brother weighs almost the same as me and he's abt 18cm taller than me!wah that's pathetic.not like he eats very little also.guess his metabolism rate is crazy then.
and a sense of helplessness that the decision is now lying with someone else.
well havent been updating for so long..basically im pretty settled at yellowpages now.just that everyone is on a leaving spree since i joined.1st reihorng and 3 other pple left on the same day..then sam left..then last wk a perm staff left..soon one more temp is going to leave for ns..and the other might leave in end may..another perm staff thinking of leaving at end may too...wah damn sad.hope more nice pple will replace them(:it's good to make new frens also la.and then in june it's my turn to leave.

i'll prob miss YP la.it's not like the job is nice but i really learnt alot so far and i think i can continue learning.and everything is getting more settled and im finally getting less scoldings.many encounters with very different people has made me just alittle more experienced in the working world.in YP through many contacts in different dept i saw many things,and so much can just happen in a 7floor building with arrows flying everywhere, as well as tiny poisoned needles.nevertheless there are really friendly pple i still can talk to and rely on in my days here.

they really make my day at yp when i am disturbed about certain incidents.LOVEyouguys(:

only in God i can find the answers;
