Week 5: Florist
21st September 2014
Company: Sing See Soon Floral & Landscape Pte Ltd
My initial impression of what this job
entailed was that I would spend most of my time arranging flowers in the store.
Upon reaching the company in the morning, I realised that the company also
caters to events such as weddings. I was attached to a senior and we went to
several hotels to arrange flowers, among many other preparations for the
events. It was undoubtedly a tiring but fun experience!
What did I do?
I have to admit that this job was physically
exhausting as we had to rush to different places to set up the flowers before
the events started. From 9am to 9pm, I helped with sorting rose petals, setting
up tables and chairs for an outdoor wedding ceremony, loading and unloading
items, and placing candles and gifts on the tables. We were so busy that we did
not have time for meals!

A few days later, the Lady Boss called me to ask if I was available to
work another day. Unfortunately I had to turn her down politely as I needed to
study for Midterms. But I definitely want to help out again when time permits. J
