Education Fair

:D Here's the dig, I WORKED AT THE EDUCATION FAIR PROMOTING ATC.

Hehehe. Well, I guess I'm psyched about it coz it was a major experience for me and it kind of boosts my self-confidence to actually come up to people's faces and say "Hi. Good morning. ATC? We offer A-Levels, Law and Business Studies" *smiles* I swear to God i've never said the same shit for the billionth time before! Fuh! It was amazing how I convinced myself that "I DON'T LOOK STUPID. JUST GO AND WORK. YOU'RE BEING PAID FOR THIS." Lol.

Amazing.

However, at the end of the day, I find it as a blessing to be given this chance because, I don't only get working experience, I get to also taste the feel to be a promoter and be proud of my school. I get to work up my Public Relation. That's friggin awesome man! Woo!

Anyways, it was on the 25th and the 26th of June 2011, a Saturday and a Sunday from 11am to 6pm. :) The day started off with me and Reen getting up early and we were so excited to do this job. We got ourselves neatly trimmed as a lady and we got dressed all formerly, and looking like lawyers. Hell yeah! LAWYERS. :D We were wearing slacks and button down shirt - black for me and white on her - our hairs were tied up and we put on make ups! - well, Reen with her girly looks and I just slapped on a bit. HEHE. As usual. And when we're done, we walked to MidValley, like professionals on the move and appeared at the Exhibition Hall kind of a little early. Lol.

At first, we panicked coz we couldn't find any of our lecturers which meant we couldn't get in the hall before 11am. We didn't have the passes to enter. So we roamed and called and talked among ourselves and fretted and eventually, the one person we were supposed to find was always waiting by the railing of the escalators searching for us too. HAHA.

Like OMG y'know. The dude looks EXACTLY like Daryl!! :O Only, he's short and he talks a lot like Chef Wan. HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA. :DD But nontheless, he was cute in his ways and he knows how to make himself comfortable around us and vice versa. ^^ We were standing there and when we turned, we noticed this dude - Abral - staring at us and he asked "You guys are from ATC?" then we nodded and explained how we were trying to contact our lecturers. With that he burst out into chuckles and said "I have your tags" LOL. Bad timing man. :P

When we got our tags, we entered the hall and we were assigned to fill up the paper bags that were meant for us to distribute when the event started. It was fun cooperating with seniors and laughing along and getting to know each other and making ourselves look busy. :D But the sad part was I had to leave Sweets the whole day while I work. I told myself that I wasn't going to text anybody, not even him while I work because my goal then was to promote and introduce ATC to people. I have to be on the go and on the move. Hell yeah. So I kept my phone in my bag and stuffed the damn thing in the cabinet supplied.

Like I said, great experience, yet on the first day, the Saturday itself, there wasn't much people hence, it wasn't as hectic as I expected. I thought there was gonna be weird people coming over, getting interviewed, chitty-chatting with us promoters, but no. All we did was finish up the paper bags we filled up, made sure none was left and perhaps, help guide lost applicants who has an interest with the offer our college has. We all did exactly that, and at the end of the day - MY FOOT WAS SORE.

Reen and I made it home, took out bath, I can't remember whether we had dinner, but by then, we already bunked outselves to bed. I even remembered how I fell asleep, and Daryl called while I was in Dreamland and I remembered that I argued and refused to go back to sleep because I wanted to talk to him. Which actually I was sleeping off on him while he was talking. I don't remember what he said though. HEHEHEHE. That's what you get for talking to a zombie. Lol!

THEN SECOND DAY ARRIVED.

Dear God, I didn't want to get up at all on Sunday! I was sooooooo EXHAUSTED! My whole body was aching, especially my foot. But one way or another, I wanted the money, so I came. :D Once again, we washed up, dressed up - in skirt this time and a formal top, Reen in red and moi in brown - and made up exactly like the day before. Again we walked to the venue and since we had our tags this time, we were allowed to enter the premises and waited at our booth for the materials to arrive before we actually start working. ^^ So when it did, we worked! Same shit.

However, on the second day, THERE WAS A LOT OF PEOPLE. It was like attending the final day of a Mega Sale in an expensive boutique or something so. It's crazy! From the role of a promoter, we had to be advisors and guiders. The lecturers we had were limited but people were lining up, intending to have a short counsel. But due to the inability to serve the crown immediately, we as promoters ranked outselves up and did the job. We spoke to them. We consulted them on the fees, the convinience, the education itself, the subjects - EVERYTHING. Fun step to take, yet scary coz you might mislead the person.

We also get the chance to be put on a spot of being the boss for a while, but being that is hard coz you gotta always be alert and watch out to what the lecturers may or may not need and it was a responsibility for a boss to make sure things were running smoothly. Okay, maybe the word "boss" would be such a woo to use. Let see...hrmm..Student Manager? LOL. That sounds a bit better. EHEHEH. Yeah...

Then my bestfriend came!! :D She had a talk with my law lecturer of course, Mr. Siva. She was convinced about what he said but what the hell, it's his job to be convincing. LOL. That's why i'm in ATC eh? ;) So anyways, I just blogged about this coz one, my blogs been abandoned for a while now coz i've been busy with things and well two, I just wanna share this or so to say remember this in the future in case I forget. xP

PS. I earned RM200 baby! In 2 days! :O I'm awesome. But yet...we haven't got our paycheck. HEH. ^^ God bless!

TOODLES!
