i suggest to all sales people that they should thoroughly understand their products before promoting to consumers.
i bought a dead sea facial wash from marina square (de shop that is in the alley near puma). Well anyway, de first saleswoman keep persuading me to buy bcos she insists that de product is good for my delicate skin. I keep telling her my only concern was about my sensitive skin. but she keep telling me that its dermatological tested, i was thinking, "so? every products have that dermatological-tested logo on."
Anyway, when i was leaving, she went to ask another saleswoman (apparently her superior) to solve my problem. That saleswoman was quite persuasive, except that she cant even pronounce de words on the products itself, thinking that she can skip over de word. keke. okay, she told de first salesgirl that i cannot use de product she just recommended but a milder facial wash. =.='' man was i lucky not to listen to de first one.
And again, she insists that its dermatological tested. I was like thinking, yes yes i know. i just want to know whats de diff btw this product and all de others that also ve de same claim. Finally, she related de products to my skin condition, eg. bodyshop natural minerals (alovera) vs this. okay so i told her i use bodyshop. and den she explain abit, cos she dont fully know de ingredients to de bodyshop products.
i finally bought de facial wash due to part of her persuasion, while thinking that its cheap and that its ingredients are natural minerals. one thing she keep insisting was de "bubbles" that is in other products, and demonstrated that their products doesnt ve de bubbles to block ur pores, or something lidat.
i should really try one, seeing that they dont ve facial sample. oh my god, if they recommended these products to other aunties, and if de other aunties dont understand what they want, they would kena "cheated". Maybe i was also being cheated, seeing how most saleswomen use de same tactic to get customers. =) (i didnt get a full set, cos i want a trial, so i only got de facial wash and a toner. but they should really provide samples to attract more customers if their products are really credible. if i were de sales manager..... LOL!)

yet another day to "Unemployment". LOL~! How slack am i for these few months.
Well, anyway, hope i ve good news within this week.
Im not confident if im up to that job he described. Well, personally, i tot that vibrant designs are more suitable for me, den a professional / dull look. I know that cos i used to design some cute layouts for my attachment company and they actually told me its too kiddy! hello! ure attracting youngsters for goodness sake! =.=' in fact, i tot that some designs i did were pretty good. haha. Time for self satisfaction~ LOL!
Anyways, apart from designs, liaising with jap hosting companies (my eyes sparkled on de mention of that LOL..) and probably socialising are involved. which is why i feel that im not up for it. Socialising has nv been a part of my life anyway. but i did tell him that its alright, cos i wish to get some experiences like these. Now is a good time to get these experiences anyway. Or else i dunno when would be de next time. maybe i should take up design courses as a job enhancement.
hmm, well, im waiting for confirmation, or a 2nd interview. *cross fingers*
As a fresh graduate, i yearn nothing more than a job i like, despite its pay. Okay.. somehow im starting to know what i like. thats good, keep it up. i do believe ur goals and passions will come about in ur experiences. right now, i ve none. lol. oh other than my pride in completing my fyp lol.
see ya soon! *hint: my bday!*

zzz.. who says sg women are lazy?
We are independent cos we cannot depend on sg guys to do things for us. When they "try" to do things for us, they would sometimes complain, like that forum above.
anyway, its pretty annoying if u do things out of courtesy and ppl dont even thank u. but then again, its out of courtesy rite? hmm, this kinda culture dont exist in sg, probably.
i am thinking, if girls try to wait for guys to pull out chairs or open doors for them, its probably bcos we wish for some gentlemanly actions in our society. *Or maybe some chairs and doors are just too heavy for a delicate lady alone, im not kidding. Even men thinks so sometimes.*
If there are very few of these actions around, women yearn more of them. Sg guys really dont take initiatives, do they? haha. and of cos, i chide ladies who doesnt thank the gentlemen for doing any courtesy actions.
Its contradicting in our society for ppl dont adopt a courtesy culture. Something to ponder about. And sometimes u wonder why u press lifts for ppl, giving up seats, opening doors wider for ppl behind me, and not rushing up the bus *a sign of kiasu-ness* when most ppl dont even appreciate.While in my case, most ppl do thank me for it, and im glad. =)

there are many different kinds of people in de world. if ever u are bullied / backstabbed, just tell yourselves that u ve met people whose thinking and actions are way too different from yours.
But it doesn't meant that you should compromise to their thinking, it just meant different priorities in life.
Well, alot of us do not come to an agreement with that thinking, so we complain / despise / disagree, a lot.
If only our culture morph into de same thinking, there would be less prejudice and despise which would then lead to bad conflicts.
It doesnt nullify any bad emotions, but it just mean lesser ill intentions towards other people.
Despite de different races, nationalities and religions in our country, our bad emotions towards other groups of people doesnt present itself to the surface, but rather to our own people.
That is why our own "groups" of people begin to absorb some of these bad feelings and tend to increase ill feelings towards other "groups" of people too. That is what we called prejudism / discrimination.
It is not wrong. Different ways of thinking and behaviours just cross paths. Sometimes it happens within a family, an organisation and of course, a country.
What is bad is that it doesn't stop. People dont just stop their own way of priorities and try to accept / accustom / adapt to others' methods of life.
You dont have to persuade others to understand your way of thinking, but they need to know that is what you stand by to. If you try to force it into other people whose priorities are extremely different from urs, den our basic instinct tells us that its dogmatism.
Dissonance occurs when a person perceives a logical inconsistency in their beliefs, when one idea implies the opposite of another. The dissonance might be experienced as guilt, anger, frustration, or even embarrassment. (Adapted from Wikipedia)
Pardon me for my philosophy. =p

Cognitive dissonance is an uncomfortable feeling caused by holding two contradictory ideas simultaneously. The theory of cognitive dissonance proposes that people have a motivational drive to reduce dissonance by changing their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors, or by justifying or rationalizing them.[2] It is one of the most influential and extensively studied theories in social psychology.
