The coffee making is not the manual one ok, i had to like use a equipment like those you can find in Starbucks. I got to know that the coffee bean we used were no ordinary beans. It states that it's from Italy so i toght "big deal?", then i found out that at Marriot Hotel, they are selling the espresso at $4.50 per small cup. No wonder Ang Mohs(caucasian) kept asking if we are selling the coffee powder and felt dissapointed when we told them that the coffee's not for sale as its a complimentary gift for the purchase of the fragrance there.
The job wasn't that tough. Just that i had to stand all the way for like 12 hours for the first two days. Its a great job as i get to indulge on free expensive coffee and meet artiste.
They invited Annabelle Francis to sort of host the event to attract more customers. Other artiste i saw there were Hossan leong, Dj Rosalyn and Chen Han Wei. Plus working there, i get to converse with hot models who are friends of my supervisors and get to see this very hot masseuse. They are gorgeous but not arrogant. Quite friendly.
AND, The caucasian and models are more mannered. they say please and thank you while not all Singaporeans said that. Plus, they throw their cups and rubbish themselves despite me volunteering to do it for them while Singaporeans simply leave their rubbish around.
I am also now comfortable with finding shops in Raffles City. I basically get questions like where is this and that just because the counter is beside the Directory. I am not even paid to answer those qs lor. Then there is those typical aunties and uncles that jumps for every chance of getting something free.
I entertained the most irritating auntie ytd. She dresses like those very damn rich taitai's. She came to me to ask for a free sample of the coffee. So i said la that its not free but must buy the fragrance to find out she din understand what i said and expect me to converse wit her in Mandarin. Luckily i understand Mandarin but it was a lil difficult for me to converse in it as my pronunciation sucks! So another kind hearted female customer helped me tell her.
But she still very persistent lor. She say the coffee very expensive and she just want to try a lil bit only. I kept saying no and "bu ke yi ah auntie, later wo de lao pan iting hui ma wo de"(sp?) but she say my boss not here so just give her taste a bit la. Admitting defeat wit the typical auntie i serve her a very little coffee. The most stupid qs she asked to the other female customer was"da se ike malay ren ah?"(sp?). Like hello, i wanted to answer her"ni bu ke yi kan was the pi fu se hei de meh? wo iting se malay ren la. pen tan!"(sp?).
I also came across this ang moh guy asking for direction. He asked me how to get to Suntec City and the only way i noe was thru the MRT Station there was another way out. But he said he asked the concierge and they asked him to get out thru the main entrance beside star bucks. So i told him there were two starbucks and he said FUCK(not to me). It took me awhile to figure out what he said as it sounded like the classier sexier version of the word FUCK. If Singaporeans used it, it will sound very vulgar but when an ang moh used it, it sounded like any other word lor.lol.
So yesterday was the end of the 7 day event but i'm gonna continue working under LuxAsia. Now as a fragrance promoter. I dun mind selling perfumes and getting to spray Chloe's perfume on me eventhough there is sales target. Oh well, for the money at least.
Kamsa Hamnida!
