its been a hectic weekend at Comex 2005, twas running a combi section for ATF and Microsoft (Ingram Micro)... bartered XBOXes, games, software, wireless desktops, and laser / optical mice, for brain cells, over 4 days, till I lost me voice ;) ...twas some feat indeed, gunning down unsuspecting hardcore singaporean bargain-hunters with techno-jargon and crazy-speak, till they handed over their hearts and their cash, eheheh... of course, it helps to speak heavily accented indian / french / brit / american / arab english, for even the most discerning shopper could not hold out against the carefully balanced, heady dose of verbal bombardment that all began with a seemingly unarming word, "yves, vell, basically..."
dragged wifey in tow this time ;) she was supposed to shadow me, but due to manpower shortage, she had to man the CD / DVD multimedia section, her first stint in tech-gadgetdry retail, but she was awesome... and thanks to her, I actually got mm-mmmingly great food to eat from the food fair... lil sis-in-law, HB, cut class to help out at the fair... she was assigned to assist with Xbox sales, and true to form, this protege of mine did well (except for the crazy part abt telling a pushy customer that the fair was over, "so noooo discount for yooou, understaaand?" )... she's almost ready for the service industry.
