Yah, I've turned into a job hopper & I just completed my honeymoon first week at Takasago, perfume chemical house. I enjoyed the industrial estate with the cheap lunches & cheap coffee that is just 60% of the price I used to pay at liang court. The food is not too bad either! I am really happy with this. I like the company bus. (altho the service std is not consistent on the way back). I like my boss, I think she is real pretty & seems to have patience to guide & teach me slowly... so I wont be tooo afraid. I like that I am working with US and PARIS counterparts, coz even tho I will never work there, at least I get to liase with ppl from those self-perceived glam countries. I get to work with people from diff nationalities which is interesting to me coz it makes feel that I am truly in a MNC, learning stuff from Europeans & Philippinos & good ole Malaysians.
I am still in very in touch with FMCG, or at least I feel so, with all the numerous products piled up on the floor. & another interesting aspect is that I will be in charge of fine fragrance as well. Sniff sniff, the perk is that we will get to know & wear the latest fragrance or simply channel n.5.
It seems like the bulk of my job is to present & convince ppl to take up our products. What goes behind those 15min presentations is at least 1 week of rehearsals & 1 month of presentation, I foresee that happening for my first presentation, definitely. Will just keep fingers crossed.
Anyway, I nvr thought that I cant stick it out with KAO for at least 2-3 years. LOL. I am driven mad by the hours & the ... STUFF. Standees? Gondolas? Size of Carpet? Height of Poster Stand? Driven dammm mad & felt like the stupid things that doesn't cause any life or death made my life very miserable indeed.
Wearing the pros & cons, I decided that to take a break. Altho, I means I only lasted one year there. Too bad for me. My health and mental soundness can only take so much. I think I was mentally and physically fatigued that's why I keep making the same mistakes again. (and also, becoz to a certain extent, one month the same thing is OK, approved. & the next month, the same thing is NOT ok, anymore).
So I just arrived at a conclusion. at THE conclusion>> I dont care. Dont care enough to stay there. I want to leave.
I want to leave to go EUROPE. BUT ALAS, my promotional departure date does not have enough headcount. SO NOW, I HAD NO EUROPE to go to >,<. To think I also announced that I am counting down to Europe. My disappointment is so tremendous that I can feel my heart sinking with punctured disappointment.
