ZEALAND

ZEALAND? Yes, it's Newzealand Fair over at Grand Copthorne. Luckily today it's a big fine day. If not, reaching my destination can turn out to be a big problem.

Well, initally I found out how to get there through the SMRT website, but it seems like what was stated in the site was different from the board display at the bus-stop. I almost get lost.. thanks to 195..

Anyway, to be able to work as a promoter during this exhibition is a honour to me. It's a rare opportunity I would say. I can be both a promoter and tourist.. haha! I get to taste products from Newzealand and enjoy the show put up by the Maori Tribe.

As for me, this is the second time I'm promoting cheese. I was being assigned to handle a booth on MAINLAND cheese - solo!! (every booth there's 2 people except me) *Pout* not fair~

Personally, I don't fancy cheese. Most of the visitors are foreigners.. and I think the White loves to take cheese. They usually take that with red wine~ Classie.. (You try that before?) but it's alright to eat it just plainly like that.. there's 5 flavors:

There's not much difference in the colors, that's why it's hard to differentiate the flavours. What's annoying was that the flag that I used to label the cheeses ended up taken by those kiddy, making me had a hard time thinking which is which.. but the kiddy are so cute and their little angelic face.. with rosy cheeks.. OowW~ I wish I have those..

Lastly, not forgetting to mention 2 friendly mates I've met/ Shawn and Grace. hehe.. Shawn is so sweet, helping me to "hide" the cheeses and wash the utensils.. Grace is thoughtful- sharing the Ginger Nut ice-cream with me, cutting the kiwi and "da bao" kiwi for me..

Basically, we just take all that we can take.. typical aunties ar.. (Like what Shawn said to me -.-")

At the end of the day, I simpply feel that - LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL

Life is Beautiful.Cherish Treasure & Enjoy


Have you seen the different colours that the sky come up with? I have seen purplish pink, orange red, whitish mint, light and dark blue.. but never yellow blue right?

Looking at the sky is a kind of relaxation.. see the moving clouds, how it changes colors.. I wish I'm lying flat on a big patch of fresh green grasses now.. let the wind brush across my face.. feeling just right. I hope everybody getting on fine with life.

C for Chesdale!

Today, let me be the spokewoman for Chesdale! Well, it's my first promoter job on food. Yum yum.. you can smell and eat. That's pretty good. Personally, giving out samples for customer to try out sounds simple, BUT BUt But, it's not as relax as you think..

First of all, I don't think standing next to the fridge is something to joke about, especially when you are cornered by FOUR air-conditioner. It's not gonna be funnie.. It's freezing freaking cold~ I almost stone rooted to the ground like a statue. Thank god it doesn't rain. If not, NTUC might turn out to be storing a dead corpse instead of cheese on the "fridge".

Next, asking people to try your cheese is chicken feet. The most you just waste a little of your saliver if they don't buy. HowEver, if they ask you questions.. You know?, QuestionS.. that can be the main killer... If you don't know how to answer, die die also must come up with an answer.
Don't know must act to know.. if not, they will think you anyhow come here to set up your "booth".

There's one occasion, a customer asked me if the cheese contain cholestrol. Without hesitating, I said no (I didn't know if it contains or doesn't). When the customer turn to look at the Nutritious Facts on the back of the package, I felt relieved. Because my wild guessing skill was not bad. That is what I call 1/2 risk, 1/2 luck. God bless. If not I get fired.

Overall, I think I love the Chocolate and Smoked flavour most. The chocolate totally covers the cheese taste, it's sweet. Kids love it. No wonder I have the best sales for Chocolate. On the other hand, the Smoked one is 1/2 salty, 1/2 "chao-ta". Very shiok one.

Herbs & Garlic are more for people who goes for mild taste. I think it's the most healtier choice. As for pineapple... erm.. I don't know what to say. It's average. Not as popular.

Alright, for those who need to study tomorrow, don't be late for school after a long holidays.. Hee.. lalala~ I get to snore under blanket. haha!

Babies

So cute hor..

What now..

It's been a while since I touched this page again. Well, just came back after a 4D3N chalet at Coastal Sands Resort. The most unforgettable thing was the bed fight. Anyway, had a lot fun down there.. and of course not forgetting the 2 BBQs... haha!
Actually I planned to work throughout this holidays, but it turned out that I don't get one, instead it's just a little bit here and there. So far I've worked in Plaza Parkroyal as a banquet waitress. It's tough because the plates are heavy and we need to know when to clear and how to serve. Maybe I'm new to it that's why I say that.. Anyway, I have a chesedale promoter work the following day at NTUC. I hope it's easy task. Coming next weekend will be doing part-time at a Newzealand Fair on MAINLAND cheese sampling on the Taste event. Earning is not as easy as spending. I have so much to buy..

Wishlists:

  1. Thumb drive 512MB
  2. 3 in 1 Laser printer
  3. Trade-in V3 to Nokia phone
  4. Airtickets to Rome

Finally, Dee back to work again! Looking forward to Jack's place.. Yummy~ haha! School reopening soon, gotta enjoy my sleep.
