Pikom PC Fair 1 ( 6-8th April)

I asked by my ex-boss if i would work in the recent Pikom PC Fair for KY,i said 'OK' but had a bit regret over it.Im supposed to be working for Olympus but i couldnt get the salesman.When he did call me it was already 2 days late.




Working for KY is not bad,i just dont like the fact that im not getting any extra commission or incentive for every sale.If i were working for Olympus i would have earn much more cash out of the 3 days work and travelling to and fro on the bridge is not something i want to do everyday.Any way,whats done is done.


Pikom PC Fair is held only 3 times a year in Penang International Sports Arene(PISA)where people can buy all kinds of electronic equiqment like notebooks,mp4 players,digital cameras,printers,etc.



Not sure if they can really sell all of these Pixma printers in 3 days.

Sometimes it is not the money that counts,it is the experience.Hopefully such stiff competion in the PC Fair would help me perform better in the future.I was selling Canon digital cameras for 3 days and believe it not...


All 4 corners of this booth is actually rented by 4 different companys to make big bucks.That's KY booth in front.On the right there is Foto President,on the right there is S.E.C. and at the back is Lam Loong.wtf.You either present your product in the best possible way or let customer walk to the next booth.Same product,same price.And there is another booth selling the same thing outsde the arena.


The work may be tough and tiring because i had to be alert all the time but it was quite fun actually.4 meals a day ! and we get to enjoyMcdonalds on Sunday.




This is how the place looks like before the doors are open.



I dont know why the organiszers made a one-way traffic flow which means there is only 1 entrance and 1 exit.You either enter from the 3rd floor and go out on the 2nd or the other way round.That makes it even tougher to sell as a lot of customers who came in from the 3rd floor bought their cameras and those who are in the arena like me couldnt do much about it.

Although im busy most of the time i still managed to take a few photos of some rarely seen scences.



First,is this I-Pood shirt.Not sure if there is a mp3 player meant for you to listen while you sh*t.



The 2nd is this sign on the womens toilet. 'Strictly for ladies' it says. Unless...what? Gay?or Ah Kua and enter is it?


So thats it from Pikom PC Fair 1.See you all again in August 2007.

KL Royale (30-3 to 1-4-2007)

Just one day after i resigned from KY im on my way to KL for a short holiday.I didnt have much to visit many places in KL because Kay Ewe had some meeting on Friday morning.By the time we arrived in KL it was already 6pm.


Me and Kay Ewe,lead by Ah Sang(Jayson) went straight to Genting Court Condo,the place where gaylords like Sang,Bing and James Porn live.Soh wasnt around,busy selling his butt.


Their place is not bad,room is messy as i expected.After dinner,all of my dudes slept well except me.I thought choosing the upper deck of the double decker bed is a cooler place to sleep as it is right beside the window...


I was wrong,i woke up 7am in the morning sweating.
(-_-")


The rest,certainly slept well with their butts facing my camera.


So,Saturday is the only day i can really look around in KL and sadly this time,i didnt make full use of my time.Visited only 2 places,Mid Valley and Sungei Wang shopping complex.Spent too much time shopping and watching Stomp the yard which was not bad.Left Sungai Wang about 6.30pmNext destination-Pudu Kenny Rogers.


Just after the bus stopped in Pudu there was a heavy downpour.
Bing,ended up like this after making his way through the rain.I got myself wet too.


The food,umm... makes me feel a little bit hungry already. But got to pay about RM20 for it. zzz
Before going to Petaling Street after our meal.


As i written in my previous post,Petaling Street is a must-go place for footie fans to buy footie jersey.But since ive written about jerseys,today im here to share with you all a little bit of my Petaling Street experience.Didnt manage to take good pictures but the 2 pictures below should help you get a picture of more or less what i witnessed for the 2nd time.


OK,this is picture you can some banglas moving their illegal products to somewhere.And there are some watches on display as you can see.
About 5 minites later... dush ! Watches gone.Banglas and pirated stuff all gone.The 'good guys' are late as usual.

hmm... you might not believe this but it happened in front of my eyes.In the 1st of that 2 pictures up there,you can see a stall that sells fruits right? Few moments before i took that picture it was selling pirated DVDs. fuu yohh !!! Im telling the truth,believe it or not.



We went back to our "hotels" after we left Petaling Street.So,thats roughly how my low-cost and short holiday went.Not the best vacation but quite enjoyable.

The 'bay watch' view outside the window
Hopefully i can visit places like Eye on Malaysia,KLCC and Sunway Lagoon during my next trip to KL.
Wont be blogging for 3 days.Busy working in the Penang PC Fair from 6th to 8th April.Until then, Bye bye.Have a nice day !

Football jersey


I was at KL from 30/3 to 1/4/2007 for a brief holiday.Didnt have much time to visit places like Eye on Malaysia,KLCC or One Utama.Any way,there is one place that for every football fan to buy their favourite team's replica jersey-Petaling Street.



Petaling Street or 'Chee Chiong Kai' is the place where you can buy football jerseys at a cheaper price like no other.But you have to make sure that you are ready for some bargaining if you dont want to get 'katok'.

I bought a Liverpool FC jersey.I am a diehard Liverpool FC fan and i like their present home strip.Red colour,3 stripes and a very eye catching design.It is a must-have jersey for me.The previous home strip sponsored by Reebok wasnt as good looking as this by Adidas.


Buying the same shirt that many people have may sound stupid to others but to footie fans,the more people that wear the same shirt,the merrier !


I have a lot of football jerseys,some might think im crazy.Maybe i am but im sure im not alone.



I like my collection of football jerseys.These jerseys are not only meant for collections,i wear them very often.However,I do have some regrets buying some of these jersey.

My collection of Galatico jerseys.1st Owen left,then Figo.Zidane retired after the 2006 Fifa World Cup,Ronaldo plays for AC Milan now and Beckham is on his way to the MLS.*apa ni~?*



There is one player that i will never buy a jersey with his name on the back again.


Less than one season after i bought his Liverpool jersey,he left for Real Madrid.I thought he would be a big part of the Spanish team but due of some damn political reason he got fed-up and left Real.I got fed-up too.He spent only 1 season at Real and now that white shirt is out-of-date.



Another thing that iritates me is Real Madrid's contant jersey change.They change their jersey patterns every single season.How do Real expect every fan to keep up with its latest jersey every season? That's crazy.

Zinedine Zidane during his last match at the Santiago Bernabeu


My advise to football fans who wants to buy jerseys-dont buy a jersey with a player's name at the back.Print your own name at the back because not many players stay at a club for many years.

My jerseys are a perfect example.I thought Ronaldo,Owen,Figo and Beckham will spend the rest of their careers at Real but it didnt happen.At least Zidane retired as a Real Madrid player.How many people would have predicted that Beckham will leave Man U or Owen leaving Liverpool?Patrick Vieira left Arsenal,Morientes left Madrid.


Another advise-If you really admire a player and you want to wear a jersey with his name,buy his national jersey instead.



I bought the new jersey on the 31st of March,the same day Liverpool beaten Arsenal 4-1 at Anfield. YES !!! hahaha...
