world book fair...
right now I am about 2 weeks into the job, helping out at the World book fair @ suntec...its coming to an end soon this sunday, but I think I would only help out for half a day bcos the following Monday I need to report to camp by 7.30am for ICT (in camp training) or reservist. ICT will end on sat evening I suppose, then after that it will be back to work for me again before term starts in August.....
I am getting increasingly tired these days working at the book fair, with no shifts but only a short break during meal time. Sometimes, I'm so busy that I forgot the time and missed lunch/dinner...A typical day starts when I picked up one of my colleague at jurong east at around 10.15am, den maybe picking up my boss and/or her maid at the office(bt merah) or at her house (normantan park) before going to suntec. The fair begins at 11am where sales are slow when the crowd is quiet and better usually around late afternoon. Sales was quite good the first few days, but decreasing as we go along. Like yesterday or today, sales hit over $3000, excluding the sales using nets/visa...
I am in charge of the games where children come along with their parents, and there I am explaining how to play the game, what game(s) are suitable for them, the special promotion and stuff. Our main attraction is the Young scientists and highlights magazine, targeted at primary school kids. Occasionally, I get challenged to the games by kids and I would always promise them that if they were to win me, they will get a free ice-cream or free mac meal for some....but I have never lost...haha...
And sometimes I will be out making deliveries to popular, buying lunch/dinner for everyone...so excuse me if u are coming to give me a surprise...haha....at the end of the day, usually will reach home before 10.45am or earlier if we 'close shop' earlier if there is no crowd...and i usually drive faster on the way home to reach earlier...
