A lot of people asked me
"why are you selling chocolates?why don't you find a job that relates to what you have studied?"
I wanted to but I don't want to be a buyer or a merchandiser,I'm bad in numbers and figures.I like to style myself,sometimes overdressed but styling for people is kinda hard,it needs a lot of studies in their lifestyle,the people they mixed with etc. etc.I like event management though but to start with,the pay is very little with my qualification with no experience and I don't have a car to go around but its a fun thing to do,I like.
So then I discover my childhood talent in scribbling drawings of jewellery and accessories that I design myself,the other day when discussing about my future with my mum and sis back at Sitiawan.So now I'm considering it eventhough I don't know where should I start with.It would be hard coz I need to support myself this time.
And about fashion...hmmm...somehow accessories and jewellery relates to fashion isn't it?
So this selling chocolate job basically is just to save some money while waiting for Air Asia for their next interview then I can save even more money for my studies if I get the job.But I can't deny that I starting to have this passion in chocolate,believe me Godiva chocolates is totally different from normal chocolate like Cadbury,Ferrero Roche and so on.Once you've tried it,you will never wanna eat other chocolates other than prestige chocolate.
Finally today is my off day.I worked 6 days in a row 10-10 everyday.I'm exhausted.So now I'm in Baby's salon doing highlights coz I'm so bored of my hair already.Hope it comes out nice.Today seems too many plans too little time.Hmmm...and have a lot to think and plan about.

Chocolate Story
Fyi,I already started working,at KLCC,a chocolate boutique called GODIVA.We just opened on last Sunday.It was fun working with my colleagues and to sell chocolates.Unfortunately I fell sick on the next day.So I'm off for Monday.It's been a very very tired week for me coz i'm working the whole week until next monday.
A lot of things happened in work.With having a fucker temporary manager and a stupid supervisor,everything was a mess.Alright..so this supervisor with having 3 years experience in Starbucks and a diploma in sound engineering which has nothing to do with F&B or marketing management or whatever you can relate to can be our supervisor,what do you think the people under him like me and my colleagues will be?The answer is more and more work.We gave him a nickname called CEO-B.Because he acts like he's a CEO and he's brainless,that's where the 'B' came from.Other than that,it could be bastard,bodoh,bengong,babi,bitch whatever negative phrase you can find that start with the letter 'B'.
So there's also funny things happened to me;
1st incident:
There's two fella I wonder is they're partners came to our shop.One is a nerd and another one is a drag.This happens when I just finish my break.I went out to the chocolate bulk fridge to do something then this drag looked at me and asked me if I'm a chinese and I said yes.She told me that she like my look,my nose,my face,my figure.I was like "Oh thank you..hehe".I wonder if sh-im wanna copy my face.
2nd incident:
I forgot which day.My colleague suddenly called me over when he's serving a customer.Then I asked him why.Then he asked me to look at the man's back pocket.So I looked.It was a porn DVD chucked in his pocket with half of the cover was seen.Then I secretly took a picture of it. :P Then suddenly his friend saw it and asked him to keep it away.Feeling embarrased he quickly took it out and put it in his friend's bag.And walked away looking embarrassed.
3rd incident:
Today there's this malay lady came in.Holding one of our choc biscuit and asked me if our product is halal.And I said yes.Then she asked me "how come there's no halal sign?".So I told her all our product is imported from Belgium even the packaging is made there.Then she asked me "Are you sure?".Then in my heart I was thinking "Yala..I'm selling this of course I know,there's no animal fats la,biscuit where got alcohol" so I told her there's a lot of muslim and malay bought from us also.Then she say "What kind of muslim they are?" and she walked out. -_-" Ya,if you're so holy how come you didn't wear your tudung?No offence ya.
4th incident:
I got this book 'Discover Chocolate:The Ultimate Guide to Buying,Tasting and Enjoying Fine Chocolate' from a customer who came yesterday.Yesterday his friend bought a box of truffes from me.Then today they came again with more people and they did bought some chocs from us.Asking me for more samples.Bla bla bla...During closing time suddenly my colleague called me over then I saw this customer.So I went out.He passed me a Kinokuniya paper bag with a gift inside and he said it for the samples I gave them.I was suprised.I opened and its this book.
This job is so much fun.Selling chocolates to people.Friendly,caring,considerate and fun colleagues.I enjoyed it a lot but there's too many issues with the management.May not stay long with this job,same goes to my colleagues.Sigh...
