yesterday and today i worked as "KuPon Ambassadors". that's our title. but actually we're just giving out the free KuPon magazine with dining discount coupons inside to try to increase awareness about this free mags. the more people who use it, the better. so the company can get more restaurants to pay them to help the restaurants advertise. the pay is pretty good. yesterday my work timing is 8am to 6.30pm. but we work in shifts. morning, afternoon and evening. for each shift, we have to meet the quota number of magazines to distribute. but we're all pro. each shift at most lasts 1 hr. very fast to distribute finish few thousand copies per shift. so you can imagine we had 7hours of break or so for yesterday and we're paid $90 for really 3 hours of work. while we were at tanjong pagar giving out the magazines, one lady from an events company came to recruit all of us there for part time promoting jobs. haha we so lucky! today we had our first call from the company. be biore girls to promote their new body wipes. but we declined. because it's this weekend and our school starts on monday. quite long hours for this also.
then today, it's 8.30 to 2 pm. 2 shifts. again, only about 2 hours of work. $50!
but the most fun thing about this is to meet friends! the bunch of us are all from unis. most of us are from ntu and alot of them are from my faculty! a few of them are my coursemates. i saw them in school, but didnt talk to them. now i made new friends in school =) the rest are from nus and sim. got one from smu i think. can't remember. it's like college union or something. haha. there's a primary school mate also. we caught up on pri school things. any pri school updates or gossips. haha.
however, though this is fun, we were ultimately tired also. have to keep saying 'thank you', 'please have a look' etc about thosands of times. and must always smile! under the sun too. very warm, dehydrated. tired........
after the first day on the job, met up with zac. we ended up eating at ntu, the palatte. it's quite nice. reasonable price also.
