Pikom PC Fair 2009 (III) Melaka [Day 3]

It's the third day of PC Fair. I know it's already over. But, it's just my life during PC fair. Haha...

I reached my booth at about 10.30 a.m. 15 minutes late. Andy told me the day before that he would deduct RM 10 from my salary for each minute late.

Quickly, I put my helmet and bag on the floor. Then Andy asked me why am I late. I said I can't wake up. What a stupid excuse.

After that, he said that I'm 15 minutes late, so deduct RM 150. No more salary for me. Lolz...

Alright, everyone was updated with the latest price and free gift list. Every notebook was given at least RM 50 discount. Even the Dell Inspiron Mini is only RM 1150. I wish I could get one that time. It's cheap!!!

I did the first 3 sales. My first customer was Mr Khairi, my primary school teacher. Back then, he teached me how to use Microsoft Office. Now I sell him notebook. Unbelievable.

Then, one of the Ivan catched up. Both of us sold the most on that day. The most difficult part of the job is to tell the customer that there's only display unit left. Oh man, the customers would just walk away when they know there's no new stock.

Had my lunch at about 4.00 p.m. I wanted to get a motherboard from Navotech. But their booth was so crowded with people. I rather spend the extra few bucks instead of getting squeezed.


I saw many people on that day. I even called one of my teachers ' Kak, nak beli notebook?'
So embarassing when they looked at me. Haha...

The last our before the PC fair ended, I passed my camera to Alex so that he can snap as many photos that he could. Haha... Thanks alot bro!

Last hour of PC fair

Okay, soon it was 9.00 p.m. Time to close the sales. I managed to sell one notebook with the help of the two Ivan's. Haha... We wanted to help Jonathan that did not make any sales on that day. So, the notebook is sold under his name. Lolz...

The customer went to Mydin to get her money while we clear our booth. We were done at about 9.30 a.m. The loading bay was still kinda okay. Not that crowded with exhibitors.


The customer called and told me that they were waiting at the booth. Lolz. They must had freak out when they saw our booth was empty. Anyway, we already packed everything. Andy and I went back to the booth to seal the deal.

Out of sudden, the customer asked for a mouse. Andy asked me to run to the loading bay just to get a mouse. =.=

I did what he asked. But it's too late. Alex and the others had already put everything in the van. They had to dig the whole van to look for the mouse but in vain.

On my way back, there's some quarreling scene. Not sure what's happening. I was too busy that time. Haha...

Alright, everything settled already. I got my salary. They wanted to go to Taman Merdeka for supper. But then, I didn't join them as I already promised Vicky that I'll eat dinner with her. Not to mention that it's dangerous for me to go to Taman Merdeka on bike especially at night.

I went back to the exhibition hall with hope to get some goodies at cheap price. Too bad, they already stopped selling. Lolz... This PC fair was so different from the one at Mahkota Parade. Ended up taking random pictures in the fair while waiting for Vicky.

^Jaclyn's booth..not sure which company^

^The pasar borong booth in PC fair.^


^Maxis broadband^

Once Vicky was done with her company stuffs, we went to Subaidah to had our so-called dinner.


 I left MITC at about 11.30 after Vicky went home. Fuu, it was so chill that night. That's my bike in the picture.


That's the end of the last Pikom PC fair of year 2009. Starting from next year, there'll be only two PC fairs per year, August and December.

And here's the group photo taken by Alex. Thanks again.

Really nice working together with you guys. See you again next year !

Pikom PC Fair 2009 (III) Melaka [Day 2]

Hey guys, sorry for not updating for the past few days.
PC fair just ended and I am so tired.

Alright guys, here's what happened on the second day of PC fair.

I arrived at my booth at 10.30 a.m. I thought I was late, but I'm not! I'm the first one to arrive. Lolz.
Andy and Alan already set up everything and display the notebooks. I went to talk with Daniel from Navotech.

Nice chat with him though. We talked bout the monitors he was selling and also the games trailers. Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is super cool!

It's already 10.50a.m. I went back to my booth to get ready because the end users would come in at 11.
Janice and the two Ivan's were already here.

So, it's a normal day... My legs were aching badly throughout the day. Again, I was the one who sold the first notebook. Haha... I managed to sell two units on that day.

At about noon, Janice had to go back because she's sick. So, left 4 people at our booth. Sandra and Janice no longer working together with us.

I talked to Andy about the commission rate but to no avail. Haiz... Made my mood bad only. So, I took the opportunity to go to Maxis broadband booth ( the one Vicky was working) to ask for a vacancy for tomorrow. Lolz...

Chee Meng and Kenny from Maxis broadband agreed to accept me. But I told them that I need to consider first because I can't leave my company as I wished.

It's 9 p.m. We started packing things up and sealed our booth. I asked Andy if it's okay for me to not come working tomorrow.

He said, ' You don't want come also can. Your two days' salary burned lo...'

Damn! At that time, I knew I need to work for that extra one day. Haiz... Everyone went back. I went to the Maxis booth again to inform Kenny that I can't work with them.

I went to Navotech's Sonic Gear booth to get a pair of earphones for Dada... It's our first time talking on phone. Haha. Hope to do so again in the future.

Vicky said she don't wanna join me for dinner. So, I went to Mydin to have a plate of Nasi Kandar. It's super expensive. RM 6.30 for one set excluding drinks. =.=

After eating, I went home, bathe and sleep.

That's all for Day 2. Didn't managed to capture any pictures on that day.

Pikom PC Fair 2009 (III) Melaka [Day 1]

Hi guys...today(yesterday actually) is the first day of Pikom PC Fair (III) at MITC , Melaka.

I arrived at 9.40a.m. today. I am working for the third time in PC fair!!! Haha



 

After meeting with Vicky and Sandra, we went to the exhibition hall entrance. It's still not open. Everyone was waiting outside, all other exhibitors can be seen chatting at that place.

Soon, the door open at 10.15 a.m. Only the exhibitors with passes are allowed to enter the hall.
The previous time I worked at PC fair, I didn't get any pass. So, I tell the guard, but he said cannot and asked me to refer to the organiser booth.


So, I went to the organiser booth. The passes were already taken but I don't have it. They asked me to call the number of the person who took the passes.

I did what they told. To my horror, they tell me that they already have enough workers!!! Wth!!!
I already told Michael that 3 of us is going to work and even gave him our details. But he didn't summit it to the KL branch.

Since I can't enter the hall, I asked Jonathan who is also working in the fair to lend me his pass so that I can smuggle in. Haha...

I talked to Andy, he said that he can only accept two more workers. After that, Andy came out and gave me two passes. I need to negotiate a bit with the guard before he let 3 of us enter the hall with 2 passes.

We went around looking for a vacancy. Soon, we found a vacancy for one person at Maxis Broadband. Vicky chose to work there. The pay is kinda high. Basic salary is RM 70 per day.

Both Sandra and I ran to the booth. Andy and Alex were briefing the other worker. Damn! They changed the commission rate. The previous rate is RM 10 per unit without any target.

Now, we need to sell at least 3 notebooks before getting commission. The 4th unit is RM 5 per unit. And from the 11th unit onwards, it's RM 10 per unit. Haiz...

I am the first one to sell a netbook today, the Dell Inspiron Mini priced at RM 1199 is really a good bargain.
We only managed to sell two units today. Sad...


Went for lunch with Jonathan and then walked around the fair. Haha, most pictures taken were blurred. Anyway, I managed to get Jonathan's sister's photo. My first PC Fair Booth Babe's picture!!!


Went back to work as usual. Got nothing special. My legs were aching real bad....
They didn't buy dinner for everyone. Instead, they gave us RM 6 each to go and buy our own food after the fair.

We closed our booth at about 9.15 p.m. Sandra and I went to Vicky's booth. She's not done yet. So,we went out to the lobby to wait for her. While Sandra went to the toilet. I chat with a guy that worked under Navotech before. He's a technician. Lolz, he still recognised me.

At the same time, I saw my ex... Haha..never wonder why I'll be with someone like her. I don't suit her at all.
Vicky and Sandra were done. We walked to MIBC to have our dinner. Haha, damn you Sandra for making us walked so far.
 

 

We had our 'expensive' dinner and then went home. Our legs were like jellies. Haha...
That's all for today...Gonna continue tomorrow.
