introduced my my polymate;'s fren. this was what i heard from my fren. working for S#$%%^b. pay's reasonable. working hrs were from 12 - 8pm. job was basically giving out flyers, ice cream, balloons, water. free shirt. suntec city. sounds fun huh? so i agreed to accept the job.
got to know that location was changed to outside ngee ann city instead of suntec city. im cool with that. then when i reach there. i saw my fellow partners for the station moving cartons and cartons of 24 water bottles, a big box (half my height) of napkins, bags of unblown balloons. from wisma to ngee ann city. it was from the start of orchard to the end of orchard. mind you. everyone of ngee ann's station is considered as skinny. or say, no strength. ok fine. so we did that. they did not say anything like this in the first place. and i dunno wat's on their mind, couldnt they just stop at place that's nearer to each station? practically everyone's moving those stuff for that kindaf distance. and helium gas tank for balloons were only at certain stations. luckily ours just across the road at meritus mandarin hotel - my poly frens' station. that station has guys and thus, girls there didnt have to move those things. next, calls came and ask us to collect flyers at paragon. went to paragon and wanted us to go mount e. upon reaching mount e, they wanted us to go paragon medical. why didnt they just say paragon medical in the first place? and i was the only one from my station to go collect the flyers. the rest of my team mates gone with me knowing. i was kindaf pissed since im the skinniest there and i was the only one collecting 1500 pieces if A4, thick flyers. luckily there was weijun to help me. if not i would be dead after carrying those flyers from paragon medical back to ngee ann city alone. person in charge got to know no one was at ngee ann's station and started shooting at me since im the only one there. called my grp leader, baofang, and i went off. and yes, we were being told off. and im fucking unhappy when people scolded me for things that i didnt do. next day, ngee ann girls all wore skirts and jacqueline wore scandals. she was badly told off by them. until she went off just like that. she didnt even want to collect her pay. after she left, we were all very down as she went off without us knowing. we wanted to go with her. as all of us were really pissed off by what the in charge were doing. they pinpointed at us actually. they were finding faults at us. fuck la. they treated people at wisma differently. they even helped them to distribute stuff. so fucking unfair right? nevermind then. as long as they pay me the right amt.
the rest of the day as spent pumping air into the balloons (im an expert nw), distributing flyers and looking at the ugly side of singaporeans, bangalas, prc workers, and philipinos. ice cream was given one to a person and we were giving out ice cream, we wun give out all other stuff. so the orchard old chang kee auntie took 5 each time and trying to bargain with us. other than that, she brought her colleague and took another 5. wtf. bangala workers came to ask us whether there were free water when we were apparently not giving out water when we were giving out ice creams. we said 'no' and they give us the 'wth' face. after that, they actually accessed to our cartons of water, opened it, took bottles of water as if we were not there. i went right n front of them and stared at them. they closed back the cartons but stil ltook the bottles away. wtf. my other fren complained that bangala workers touched her hands so many times as they took free ice creams or water bottles from her. so disgusting right. she was busy distributing and had no defense at that point of time. and apparently when there were no free gifts, singaporeans will not take flyers.
however, there were some really sweet moments. alot of bfs came forward to us and get balloons for their gfs. and they dun mind helping us to take flyers as long as they got the balloons. normally when we distribute balloons to guys, they wouldnt take. so see, they layed down their ego and took it from us. there were fathers who used their keys to cut the tangled strings for us so that his kid could get a balloon. there's one 2 yr old kid knew it wasnt possible to get the balloons as all were tangled up. the kid then said 'then let me hold the balloons awhile'. we couldnt do anything to make him happy. as we did not have scissors. so his dad, cut the strings and passed his kid a balloon. his kid was overjoyed and kissed him. so sweet right?
baofang and me. as we were pumping balloons. this was only small amt of balloons (ard 40?) that we'd pumped. so can you imagine, we have 500 balloons to pump.anw, at the end of the two days, the free t shirt was demanded back by them for god-knows why. we'd sweated it all out in that shirt and it's really smelly. dunno what they're gg to do with it. while others were having fun, we were suffering.
