Now i know, Apa tu Pawn Shop

today, i had to helped my dad out at his Pawn Shop as my 2nd sis was on leave. i guess, she and her lovely husband went to Malacca for his birthday.

well, basically the shop only has the 2 of us. a very-loyal-worker and I. we hardly chat. LOL
he is responsible to see the gold stuffs which customers want to pawn and tell them the value.

so, i'm responsible to key in the details for REDEEM stuffs and RENEWAL stuffs. it's very easy thou, not as hard as i thought on yesterday night. HahahaHAhaha

REDEEM means they want to BUY back their pawned stuffs.
RENEWAL is which they continue paying interest to keep their stuffs in our shop from being lelong. if they stop paying for a certain period, the stuffs will be ours and we will lelong it!
i never been to a "lelong party" before anyway. lol

anyway, the environment of the shop is very suitable for my study mood. quiet and no distractions, since there is nothing out there to look at. HahaHahaha
i think, i didn't waste my day. i studied and learnt about the operation. it's useful. =)

My Observations:
1. majority of the customers are Malays and India, who are our "customer tetap". i knew it because our computer has their details saved. lol

2. there were 2 cops who came in to pawned stuffs. that's why there are roadblocks sometimes. *lame*

3. India have a lot of those heavy heavy gold necklaces.

4. we can dip the gold in the water to see is it real gold. i don't know how he get to know from there btw.

5. this job is really BORED. luckily i'm in pre exam period, so i have things to study. if not, i'll be bored to death. Hahahahaha. no wonder my 2nd sister bought a PSP for this job. lol

6. good thing is, the working hours are short. 9a.m - 4.30p.m. *blink blink* going to end work! hahaHahaha

that's all for it. wanna pawn things, come find me. =D

4 stars*:
