IT show 2015 // HAULS

hey;)

There's a IT show ongoing right now at Suntec City Convention Centre from 19-22 Mar 2015, which means today's the last day. There were a few stuff which I really needed to get, so I went with my family to the IT fair.

Since we reached at around 12pm, there wasn't as much people for a Sunday since it was still early. But as time went by, the crowd increased and it was SO packed that it was hard to even walk a few steps. But anyway, here's my hauls for the day:

1. Apple's lightning cable

I lost one of my USB cable, and my other one is in really bad condition, as it was bent too much till the rubber was tearing and the wire inside might not be able to connect well anymore. Especially when I want to charge my phone, I have to make sure that the cable is aligned properly and my phone is charging from time to time as it might not be connected properly. Another thing is that my cable cannot connect my phone to my computer anymore. Which I really have no idea why but it's been really troublesome to update my phone :(

Basically, I was DESPERATE for a new lightning cable.

And WEW I got one--TYLT's lightning cable.

TYLT lightning cable -- $32

It comes in many different colour and naturally, red is my choice ;) Actually its a little orangey-red, but it's still red so it's really pretty! <3 Another thing about this cable is that it has micro-usb, so I can use it to charge my portable chargers, or any Android user can use this. ;)

This cable comes in only 1m or 30cm, but IMO 30cm is too short. OH ANOTHER THING. This cable has a 1 year warranty, longer than Apple's warranty so I guess it's a really good buy! (and it's coloured, too)

2. WD My Passport Ultra 

Another desperate item I really needed. The thing is, I have 2 hard disks at home but they're all formatted for Windows, and for me to use them, I would have to reformat it. BUT. There's files inside which makes it a hassle to transfer everything then delete and reformat again, so I decided to get another hard disk specially for my Mac. 

My Mac has TOO MANY PHOTOS (all in iPhoto) and it's basically just the mountain of photos I have in my phone since I got it in December 2013. So in order to back them all up I would definitely need a hard disk. 

WD My Passport Ultra (White) -- $89

Chose WD's My Passport Ultra since it was quite cheap IMO and there's 3 years warranty, plus 1 year of information backup if something goes wrong. But really, usually these kind of stuff won't cause problems in a year. It'll usually take more than that to screw up. But it's a free gift nonetheless. It comes in 5 colours if I'm not wrong, and got the white one since the red one was quite ugly (sorry red). The pouch was red instead tehee (choice of black or red). 

I hope 1TB is enough for me as I have TOO MANY PHOTOS and it'll be a hassle to get another hard disk ._.

3. Xiao Mi's Portable Charger

xiao mi portable charger -- $19.90

OK well technically, this is my mom's, but my family charges portables and leave it in the living room, so if anyone needs to rush out of the house with a charger, it'll be really convenient to grab-and-go. (makes it sound like we sell portables) LOL

But anyway, this portable has quite good reviews from my friends, so we just got one since it was sold there. There were a few colours on sale, so we got a pretty metallic green one. This one is also 10400mAh, and it's said to be able to charge an iphone for around 3-4 times, so I guess we'll just have to try it!

4. Sports Armband

Sports armband -- $10

I wasn't really in need for this, and I've been contemplating whether to get this for a while now (like maybe a year LOL), and finally I've decided to get it. I guess it'll be really useful when I go for runs or activities! There were many colours on sale but got the black one instead since it'll be easy to match with any of my jerseys AHAHAH. 

5. Epson L355 Ink Tank Printer


OK, my old printer's dying, and this is like a MANDATORY item for the house. So we got this. It has a wireless function on top of the standard few functions: Scan, photocopy and print. Don't really have any views about this, since IMO it's the most worth-it printer for the price and function. LOL.


So here's my hauls from the IT fair, OH and the lucky draw was really cute.

V environmentally friendly too!! Just that I didn't win anything -.- sad :(

Anyway, missed NUS's networking session today since I couldn't make it in time._. and NUS was so far but omg I really wanted to go!! T.T SOBZ And it started raining in the evening so I can't go for a cycle :( OMANZ but anyway have a nice day :)

(I am very very excited for the week)

True Fitness Trial (Suntec City)

hey ;)

And so, my trial membership for True Fitness has ended :( It was a really great stress relieving week after everything so I'll just talk about my trial experience there!

My friend got her membership promotion which lasted for a month THAT'S REALLY COOL cos they usually ask customers to directly sign up for at least a year's worth on membership? And especially since I'll be entering uni I won't even have the time/mood to go all the way there LOL.

But anyway, our consultant was Keith who was REALLY nice, and actually he only contacted Pris since we were all going for it together. Since we are typical kiasu Singaporeans, to make our trial as worth it as possible, we went for as many classes as possible and even gymmed!! The number of classes at the Suntec branch was really little though, probably cause it's mostly catered to the office crowd who can only come by during lunch/after work. So basically it's just 11plus-1plus or 5plus-8plus (USUALLY). And sometimes there isn't alot of classes in a day :(

The only time we all went together LOL

Commercial gyms are really commercial gyms, I swear. The interior is SO PRETTY like purple-ish and blue-ish and everything looks so new! OH AND THE TOILETS WERE SO CLEAN AND PRETTY AND HUGE. Everyone could use the locker as long as they brought their own locks (but actually you can borrow from the counter) and there were 2 towels provided --body and face towel.

And seriously ah, the people in commercial gyms are really different!! Like those atas office/working adults all ready to lead healthy lifestyles and their clothes are all damn chio sia. Not even kidding. I mean like if you compare with the normal community gyms of course you won't see so much chio clothes right??? (ok maybe have but you get the point) We just appeared in tshirts/jerseys since they were cheap and comfortable and we have SO MANY at home LOL.

Another thing--the gym is HUGE. Like legit. I really don't know how many equipment are there but there ARE TONS :O

We went for mostly Zumba and BodyCombat, and 1 lesson of Shabam which was actually really fun. Zumba was like MY FAVOURITE HAHA. There was this one class where there were really dance-worthy songs but since we were late, we could only stand at the back and we couldn't really see it :( SO I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU GOING TO THE FRONT OF THE CLASS. Even though abit paiseh but at least you can see the trainer better and you can even watch yourself in the mirror! ;)

We also used the spinning machines, AND YOU CAN SURF THE WEB LEY!!! And even watch YOUTUBE!!! But the internet is quite slow la if you don't mind lol. There are also games there!!! Mostly played sudoku which actually keeps my mind off exercising and I become less tired!! :)) It's also preset to 30min for quick start so it'll just auto stop after 30min SIAN :(

But overall, it's a really good experience and I wouldn't mind signing on for the membership, IF ONLY they provided memberships for like a month or two under a promotion. And for a student like me, it's too expensive :(

So community gyms would just have to do the trick now ;)

WEW the blue light makes nice filters ;)

SPLITS r we flex enuf yet

Old Airport Road // Types of customers promoters have to face // Dropping by ;)

hey ;)



So recently I had work during the weekend again. And since the pay was good + people there were nice, I wouldn't mind working there :) SO I dropped by to help out at the booth. This time it was at Suntec Convention Centre and the working hours were REALLY LONG. But since it's only for 3 days I guess it wasn't that bad! Had to work for 11h the first 2 days and it didn't help that I didn't sleep before the 2nd day but AT LEAST I TANKED THROUGH >:) I could sleep while talking to people though HAHA.

Went Old Airport Road to have breakfast on my 2nd and 3rd day with my parents and had FREAKING GOOD LOR MEE and SHAO BAO and PORRIDGE and TAUHUAY and CHEE CHEONG FUN hehehe. I always hate Singapore's chee cheong fun since it ruins the taste (Penang's ones are the BEST) but this hk one is REALLY GOOD NO JOKE. I usually bring food to eat at work for lunch and dinner since I am really broke :(((( Like legit, 0 cash and $0 in my ATM.

[caption id="attachment_787" align="aligncenter" width="660"] LOR MEE idk the price hahaha but damn good[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_785" align="aligncenter" width="660"] Handmade Chee cheong fun -$2/roll[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_786" align="aligncenter" width="660"] fish porridge-$3.50[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_790" align="aligncenter" width="660"] My shao bao for dinner[/caption]

AND my dad was so nice he knew I had a sleepover so I wouldn't have enough sleep so he secretly gave me this <3



Well, even though I was SUPER SLEEPY on the 2nd day, people came to visit me <3 So Shihui dropped by to have Llao Llao with me, which I haven't eaten since before As HAHAHA. But it was SOOOOO GOOD. Ok, I guess I've lost my interest in Llao Llao actually since there were too many outlets popping up suddenly and the quality is going down and the price is actually quite high ._. Time to find another craving.





Claud, Shabs, Leumas and 736iu came to visit me at work which was quite funny actually HAHA and all the dirty people who didn't change their clothes since the day before. But aww they came to visit me thanks!! ^^

[caption id="attachment_783" align="aligncenter" width="660"] only had a photo with Claud though hehe[/caption]

OK ANYWAY, back to the main topic.

Types of customers promoters have to face

Just working 3 times and I can roughly classify most of the customers HAHAHAH

1. Interested

They are genuinely interested in the product and wouldn't mind listening, then they'll buy.

2. Comparing brands but still slightly interested

They want to buy the product but is researching and trying to find the best deal possible/best product possible. Then they'll ask you what's the different between your product and the other brand's product and you'll be like ... uhh ... different brands lor. HAHA

3. Listening but not interested

Even if you explain everything to them till your throat runs dry, they will still listen but NEVER buy. -.-

4. Daosterz

Clearly there are some who would just dao you completely even if you try and ask them if they are interested. HOW ABOUT JUST SAY NO OR INDICATE THE PERSON IS THERE??? (ahahah I always feel like slapping these people you think you big isit???)

5. Awkward decline-rs

They're actually nice but are not interested in the product, so they'll just nod and smile shyly at you to show they're uninterested.

6. Question spammers

Well basically they'll just ask you every single question about the product in the whole world. Be mentally prepared.

7. The BUYERS

YAY even though I don't get commission but the satisfaction of selling it is GREAT. WHEEEEEEEEE

Well this is my take on some of the kinds of customers you'll see as a promoter HAHA But this experience is really valuable ;)) Even though there'll f-ing asshole customers but overall if your colleagues are nice, it's quite a fun and slack job ;)))
