Suburban Filth

first day of work, again. i know, i know. one moment i have no job and the next, job offers come non-stop. this job is not just a 2-days job though. it's all the way til school reopens. actually, the management wanted me to work even after school reopens. "weekends are a must, confirm must. and at least one weekday."

what are ya, frogheads? i aint working when school reopens because i aint going to rush down to orchard after i finish school at what, 4? it's not like i'm in desperate need of money. i'm just killing time...by making money. anyway, if they insist i do, i'll resign then. it's as simple as it should be.

so where am i working at? let's just call it...my own"Suburban Filth"(think OTH3) so that i can bitch about it here when i need to and not get sued. okay, that's what i shall call it from now on. suburban filth.

today was busy like hell. so much for being my first day. it's totally different from the last job because i spent the entire day sitting down in an office in the last one and i spent an entire day standing in a shop in this current job. colleagues wise, they were nice, generally. one of them was really nice, and she was the only one who actually made me feel really comfortable because the senior head was...well, i think i can tell she's going to be a little, *cough*problem*cough*. everything has to be PERFECT. and i heard the manager(whom i havent seen) is really particular about the perfection of maintenance. and they're both singaporeans so, really, it's not all that surprising.

i stood for a total of 9 hours, serving mostly, tai-tais and tourists. damn, all i can say is that these ladies are LOADED. the cheapest top in the shop costs about $79. yes, i can safely believe they're totally loaded. this lady i served came in and left with a top and bottom, costing about nearly $500 altogether. that's 200 plates of chicken rice.

totally appreciated anna for stopping by with her natural acting ability to keep me entertained for at least 30 mins(i think she enjoyed trying on those clothes anyway). i liked serving her best. AND for the plasters. BIG HELP. thanks babe. :)

serving someone's never that easy so i wouldnt complain about having to serve all those ladies, except...there's this one particular chinoise lady. she took in so many clothes to try, made me stand outside to "pass her" other clothes when she called for them(when she could've just hung them all together inside). HI, you're not my only customer.

she demanded for an XS for one of the corsets when i had to help her zip up a size S. come on lady, it's a damn corset. you need to breathe.and it's not like she left with anything(plus one of my colleagues told me she always tries on loads of stuff but leaves with nothing). if she didnt treat me like her maid, i wouldnt mind if she left with nothing. too bad she did. tsk. chinoise.

oh yes, another person has mistaken me for a malay, AGAIN. my teacher, the cleaning uncle in school, some of my friends, the cleaning auntie at HSBC, and now my new colleague. and they always test me(with their own ways) and when i understood them, they'd go, "EH? you chinese ah?"

YAH. i chinese ah. wo3 shi4 hua2 ren2. but my malay friend doesnt think i look malay. maybe i'm thai.

i'm so shagged. another 6 hours tomorrow. sigh. oh well, i'll psycho myself that i'd have more to spend for travelling then. THINK BIG, SEIGE, THINK BIG. you can pop by wisma if you want and i'll be at suburban filth. but dont talk to me because -think senior-head. singaporean senior head.

natural acting ability? whoa, i'm flattered :D tell me about it girlie, i let you see ALL THE CLOTHES i tried on. and they're all friggin lowcut. :p sexaayyy.

anyways, the lady who tries a lot of stuff and doesn't buy sounds like me. i think the bugis topshop doesn't like me anymore. :p i'm always wandering about there and not buying ANYTHING. heh.

ja> HEY! really? i'm on the second floor. it's an all ladies apparel shop WHICH i shall call Suburban Filth for now. haha

anna> i asked one of my colleagues today and she told me the manager is pretty nice and she will go all out to help you if you have a big problem. hmmm? maybe everyone has their own opinions so i shall know when i see her.

not all of them are low cut! just the stuffs you tried on babe. lol. loved that black top on you though. the "kimono" dress you tried on, that was nice.

but you dont make the people stand outside your fitting room and ask them to wait there to pass you your stuff when you CALL for them, do ya? see? like i said, if she didnt do that, i wouldnt mind if she bought nothing. but she did that, so she's kind of THE PAIN IN MY ASS. :)

sh said...

*grin seige* so you haven't met her? i hope you think she's 'pretty nice and will go all out to help'. :P better than for you to think she's some evil devil who's out to make everyone's life miserable!

*grin* everything i tried was low cut. except the final item which i had no idea how to wear so it ended up low cut. LOL and psssst... I took pictures. HEEE. that's why i took so long. :P:P:P

yeah i certainly don't do that. i don't like being mean to sales people lest i end up temping in retail. not big on religions but i certainly believe in karma. :p

anna> i heard that there's another manager who's damn fierce one. the one who comes and spots check. so they are 2 different people! they told me that one throws tantrums when she's not happy and scolds you all the time. she only jokes sometimes and they arent funny so they told me to fake laugh. lol.

that last piece you tried on is a supposed to be a super low-cut outfit not an off-shoulder one, so i learnt from a colleague. so unless you want something REALLY low, you might wanna choose something else.

chinoise lady came back today btw. and she bought something. and she said "thank you". alas.

zhen> yeah. it's for rich people. like, super loaded women. no, husbands/boyfriends.

loads of snobbish tai-tais and chinoise ladies. but of course there are nice people too. lots of politics! lucky i'm only working til end of next week.

i havent told them that it's so soon yet. die. scared. lol

sh said...
