Nose.

Gosh, even after A levels I'm still this busy.
I took up a part-time job in Nose, Gurney Plaza. A shoe store. Not really desperate for the money, but just to gain some experience before I go overseas..AAANNNDDD also to avoid myself from rotting everyday at home. 

FIRST OF ALL, being a sales promoter SUCKS BIG TIME. I had to assist customers just like that without no experience whatsoever. I don't really interact with random strangers that often la let's put it this way. It was kind of nerve-wrecking for me cause I'm not really very familiar with the store and how they organize their shoes. I've had hard time looking for shoes and took a lot of time looking for them. Felt really bad that I had to let my customer  wait just because I can't look for those damn shoes. 

But it didn't turn out so bad after all in a week or so. I've gotten used to the place and one of my colleague taught me how to help out at the cashier. One of what I've been looking forward to all week long. I'm always curious how it feels like to receive money from customers and pressing all kinds of buttons and the drawer of cash just pops out like that. HEHEH. 

At times, it gets boring. Especially in the morning where not a lot of people would come to the mall. Most of the time I had to assist tourists during the weekdays. And dealing with a lot of weird people sad to say. 
Sometimes it could go on for hours where not a single customer would walk into the store. It was kinda sad how the business turned out though. Nose used to be really good back in my secondary school days. Not to mention the shoes were really good in quality. Now the quality of their shoes kind of deteriorated. They had to take out all the old stocks to put them up for sale. 
what I find really annoying is that they don't have shoes in stock. whenever a customer wants a certain shoe of their size, not every time i am able to get them the size they want. AND I FEEL SO  BAD. Also could see the disappointment on their faces. :(

It's my last week here now. I need some enjoy time before my A level results come out. I think I won't be able to sleep the night before my results are even out. 
Really gonna miss the place. I've met great people (and also bad people >:( )
