Time passes fast... Today is my 7th day, a week at work already. Thru this first week, I figure out there are many things for me to learn. I still haven made any sales but had made friends with some of the clients who comes to our gym. I also learned abt some human policy, who I can approach and who I can't. Well, I guess in e working world, things are always so complicated....

For eg, my manager keep asking me to sell our services, although I'm trying my best too but I really feel awkward abt doing it. My passion for this job is that I can guide, advise and teach e ppl who are using e gym using e knowledge that I have. And also, talking to e ppl there to make them feel at home. But I guess my job does not really allow me to do what I want, I will have to follow e system... Boring~

Something really funny I must say... I got this colleague who started work at e day day as me, a young lad who just finished JC, 18 yr old. Let's call him, Boy...

At e first day, whenever he sees someone who is very muscular, he would say "Wow, tt's big!! Show me le...." Sounds gay right but don't blame him, cos he is a bodybuilder. As time goes by, whenever he stands infront of e mirror, Boy will definitely flex his muscles liked his arms, abs.... Some of my other colleagues who had worked for some time, thought he was my friend and they would ask me, "CK ah, why your friend so strange 1 ah? Always show his muscle when he stands infront of e mirror" All I can say is..., "He's not my friend la, we just started work on e same day only. Well, I also don't know why he does that"

Things got bit worst, when my manager talk to us abt selling our services and how much money we could earn. Boy became very obsess with e sales thing, he keeps telling me that "CK ah, we gotta do something man, we haven got any sales yet, we are too slow. Come, follow me and let's go grab some customers" When he said this to me, I was liked, "Who do you think you are? Telling me what to do!" But we are still colleagues, so I will just tell him that I know too. And not just this, he would show his muscles to e clients who he talked to. My other colleagues also can't stand him, e way he shows his muscle infront of e mirror and also tells them abt his bodybuilding contests.

However, not everything abt Boy is bad. I admired his passion towards bodybuilding but I think it is abit too much and also he is a very friendly person, he would always smile at ppl. But afterall, he is still young, too much energy and not aware of e dangers in e working world. Well, hope he learns fast, if not he will be very stressful....
