A 11 Days Experience.

Firstly, on the week of Hari Raya Holidays, I took a trip to Bukit Raja Jaya Jusco to look for any jobs that are available there. So we went to a few days and one of them is FOS. So we left our phone number and name there incase they needed us and they would call us. After a week or two passed. No calls came in. And then just on Depavali Day, FOS called me up and asked me if I wanted to work for their warehouse sale during my exams which started from 30th of October to 10th of November. So yeah, I agreed to work for them and so they said they would call me later for more details. So the day before the work started, they called me to tell me what time work is starting and everything so I was having exams in school so I told them that I wanted to start at 2pm and they agreed for me to start that time. My friend was also working with me this time. So during the 11 days of working with them really taught me a few things that I needed for the next job that I am gonna go to. There were 3 Supervisors which are all girls. One of them is at the age of 21 and already married with a son. Thats suprising but its normal these days right? So one of the supervisors was very strict indeed. She didnt really let us talk or slack during working while they were no customers around. And many of my co-workers who were working there was quite angry and pissed at her for scolding them non stop. So I learned how to fold clothes in a proper manner which I did not know before. Because all the time if I would fold clothes it would be ugly or not nice looking but with this job I finally know how to fold clothes neatly and tidy. And I learned how to do sales of selling clothes to people. Like how to apporoach people or serve customers or find the size and colours that the customers wanted. It was fun I guess? But the DFO company which is under FOS picked a wrong place to do their warehouse sale which is Centro. This is because, Centro is not that of a popular place where everybody goes everytime they needed to shop for somethings. If I was the Manager or someone high in the company. I would do it in Bukit Raja Jusco or even Bukit Tinggi Jusco. It would be better because to my survey that I did. To me. I think that those places would make a better profit than doing it in Centro. Somedays, in Centro. They were nobody coming to buy our clothes and we would have nothing to do and the supervisor would just waste our energy and time folding the clothes that are already folded or put properly. So after a week, the company realised that they did not have enough income so they needed to sack some workers off. The day was Friday and I was walking in Centro to go in for my work and I received a call from Alex, my co-worker and he said to me. Be ready for bad news when you enter work. So I went up to DFO and punched my card and went down for work and the next thing I know is. My friend which is my classmate got fired and Chin Bon and Alex and Faizal got fired too. So now I am having time real lonely. Go to work alone. Eat my breaks alone. Nobody around there to eat with me or no one to even talk to. But it was not so bad after all. The married supervisor came apporoaching me and talked to me quite alot after they were gone. And it was quite okay lar. I made quite a lot of friends there. They are mostly malay dudes but its alright. We live in Malaysia right. We need to be friends with every race if possible. Not being racist or what but its the fact right? Hehe. So work supposed to be ending at 9th but they needed our help to load things up to the lorry and pack the stuffs so we went on the 10th too. And one of the Supervisors that went and helped on the 10th was too proud of himself I would say? The moment I enter I was late by 5 minutes and he started scolding me already saying what time is it now? What time you start work? Why you so late? I just ingored and walked away lar. So that day work ended at 5.30pm? We still get paid on that day because we helped them and we punched our cards. It was okay lar. Loading things up to the lorry was easier than I thought it would be so it was not a problem. I went home and then I finally felt like. The work ended and tomorrow I have no work. What am I gonna do? I was too used to working everyday that I thought of work work work only. No fun at all. So suddenlly my work ended and I was like suprised that I had nothing to do. But I am proceeding to a new job tomorrow which is Thursday I hope? I need to make a few phone calls first. And the pay there is quite good I can say. It is my friend's Dad's work place so I can slack a little bit. Hehe. So lucky. After my work there starts I guess there will be no more time again to blog or facebook or even clean the house. So I need to settle things tonight before I start tomorrow !
