Ice-Cream man in the Matta Fair 08
A few days back before Matta Fair 08 held (5th of September to 7th of September 08), my friend called me up and told me that there is a job for me in Matta Fair. " Selling travel package?" I asked. "No no, you will be selling ice-cream" she replied. I was stunned for a momment and was thinking to reject the job. However, the contains in my wallet did not allow me to do so and ended I and my friend, Chad took up the job.We started our work on Saturday as we had classes on Friday. We took public transports to PWTC and we reached at 8.50am (event starts at 10am). As we reached earlier, the first thing we did was paying a visit to the toilet in Federal Hotel. We met my friend who introduced the job to me. She and her boss gave some guidance before we start.
The good thing what I observed while we are working in this kind of event is you will be expose to thousands of persons that you are really unfamiliar with. Besides that, of course, networking opportunities are always there as what AIESEC is giving. Hahhaha. If you are looking to gain working experience, I would say it doesn't help much but in terms of exposure to the people and market, yes it is. If you are talking about hot chicks, yes, there were plenty of them with good look, normal look, and the bad one.
The best momment that I passed in these 2 days was a person came to buy ice-cream from me.
"Berapa untuk satu drumstick?" asked by people
I asnwered " RM3 untuk semua drumstick"
He replied " wah, apasal mahal sangat? luar jual 2 ringgit sahaja"
When this situation happens, check out below what did I reply.
"Bang, kita direct supplier dari nestle. Semua products sini pun fresh fresh punya. Sini tak macam kedai runcit's punya ice-cream, semua letak lama-lama punya."
That felle stunned and at the end he just walked away.
The Matta Fair ended at 9pm on sunday but still many people were negotiating with the travel agency in order to get the best price for the holiday travel package. We didn't take our dinner at there for these 2 days as we were kinda busy in selling ice-cream at so called "peak hour" for muslim. So we took dinners at somewhere PJ at the end.
