V Day Craze!

It had been a long time since I update my posts. After dragonflying, my week was burnt on one mundane job... that's to wrap flowers!

My fren got this deal from sookee jewellery. He was kinda crazy to accept such large orders. Check it out...

1. 1000 single stalks with water and tag.
2. 1000 single stalks with tag.
3. 101 6-stalks roses
4. 101 12-stalks roses
5. 4 24-stalks roses
6. 173 single stalk

Those above exclude the private orders he had as well! Crazy!

Day 1... De-thorning...

This simply means pluck almost all the leaves from the roses, including the stupid thorns and torn petals.



















Check out the number of roses we had. These were just the tip of the ice berg!



















Check this out! so many boxes of at least 5000 roses! =_=




















There were still smiles. Eventually we were too tired even to talk! It took us from 4 plus to 2 plus in the morning! Totally shag and tired!

Going crazy going crazy. My dear fren surely know how to stay calm during times of emergency! When we were all really busy de-leaving, he had to sit at one corner and SCRUTINISE our work! Nancy and I were kinda irritated by the fact we had only 3 ppl (both of us and our yandao sec fren) dng it and he was not that helpful after all!

Best of all, the tags that sk jewellery supposed to give us was not given yet! Imagine we were time-tight, manpower-tight and yet there's nothing we could do bout it cuz the tag was not around. And when all of us (his sis, nancy, I and the auntie) bugged him to call the gal to tell her if we could not deliver on time cuz they delayed the tag, he simply bor chap! And finally he called, he didnt ask the crucial question!!!! *pissed*

He was very sure we could finish our work. Very SURE! Prior to this day 1, we oready told him to get the stuffs prepared and he said YES, ALL DONE! Guess what...day 1 his sis had to do the folding of the wrappers (search me why he insisted of folding) instead being able to help out in the de-thorning. Sighz... if he had done those earlier, we would finish earlier!

In the end, we ended our day at 2.30am after removing all the leaves from the roses!

Nancy surely noe how to enjoy herself while dng the mundane work! Well.. this was the BEGINNING! haha...



















Me among a part of the stupid roses we had done...

In the garden of roses!


Day one ended with body ache and painful fingers. We went home laid straight on the bed and can you imagine I had to work the next day!?! Argh...


Day two... bouquets bouquets and more bouquets...

Day 2 started later for me as I had to work and could only join them after school. Nancy joined the gang after she had done her wedding stuffs. We met lijuan and Yanliang at the coffee shop too. After dinner, the work started again. Serious work.

Target for day 2 was to wrap all the bouquets. Till day 2 we have yet to receive the tags from sk. Sighz.. meaning the next day our target was to finish all the single stalks roses with tags. I cannot believe how inefficient we can be! As we were wrapping the bouquets, his fren came and helped with the single stalks. We had to put a tiny bag of water under each stalks and tied it with a wire (like chilli for chicken rice style). For the dunno how many hours his fren and aunty did, they only managed a few hundreds of it. *die* His cousin and fren came over to help too. They helped in the cutting of ribbons (and did I mention my dear fren said he DID it oready!?!)

Lijuan Nancy Yanliang and I were efficient enough to finish wrapping all the bouquets. We even counted, packed and arranged them in boxes. That's including shifting all those flowers into the air con room and tidied up the place. My dear fren dunno still doing wat?! Mind you I think out of the 200 over bouquets, he wrapped at most 2 (for demo). Argh!

Day 2 ended at 3.30am. We had tea at prata place. TIRED TO THE CORE!

Day 3...Single stalks mare....

I 'reported' work at 10.30pm. Met my baobei lah ^^. When I reached there, I didnt see my fren. The rest told him he was out delivering 2 private orders (I wonder why did he entertain such nonsense when we oready not enuff manpower!). Then when he's back, he could not help us cuz he have yet to collate his private orders list (the addresses). And I tot he said he did tat oready! *double pissed*

At this moment, he had to scream at his sister for doing so slowly. Imagine his sister took leave to help him and he had to say such things. Great... the sis stormed out of the house, leaving the rest stunned. Haiz... imagine we had a few thousand to complete, including tying the ribbons and tags to the single stalks, tying ribbons to some of the bouquets we missed out the previous day...

In the end we worked till 5plus in the morning and my dear fren did nothing but walking around and DUNNO WAT TO DO! =_=" At times like this ended up the gals taking charge. I wonder if we were not around, wat would be the outcome. The best part was... he was not kan chiong about it. Not worried. Ended up we did all the private orders for him too! (imagine he said he would do it himself in the beginning but how much did he accomplish?)

It seems like he had some private orders that he did not record on pen n paper. He blamed it on ppl who sms him or call him. Argh... he should have the cow sense to record it down on paper! Wat pissed us off was that we had to work the next day and he didnt seem to remember this fact. It just seem to us we were wasting our time there worrying for him cuz he dun seem to be worried! In the end, Yanliang Nancy Lijuan and I left first cuz most of us had to work the next day. Lijuan drove me back in thunder speed.

And I tot everything was over.

The next day Nancy smsed us and said the worst was not yet over. I tot maybe the delivery part. It was not. Apparently our dear fren did not read his email properly and he missed out some details. The bouquets are supposed to be delivered island wide to the sk outlets AS WELL AS the single stalks. He forgot about the single stalks. And after he counted, he did not have enuff flowers. Cuz he used up for his private orders oready. HOW SILLY! They quickly drove to buy more flowers (at a more expensive rate, of cuz) and nancy left him from there.

At 11pm. He called nancy and told her he got 5 more pte orders to send. 11PM! Ahhhhhhhhh Imagine Im the gal who tot my bf did nothing on V day but actually cuz this lousy florist! When I called him at 12.30am, he said he did not deliver some single stalks to the outlets too. See...sk deal cannot cope and pte one in a mess...

What's wrong with him?

We all swore we would not help him the next time. No more next time! Did you notice I got no pics for the later days? We were just too shag and busy! !@#$%^&*

****cannot be a boss still want to be a boss!!!****
