Fishery Market

I always like to see and know different things. Last night, I arranged myself to have closing check in stores , then visit the fishery market overnight and go to stores for set up observation.

Fishery market is something new to me, let me share more here.
The market starts from 01:00am. There is dock next to it to unloading/uploading stock from ships.
My colleague, seafood buyer, Chong (the brown shirt man) shares with me the details of the market: the process of the procurement, variety of seafood, how he check the price....
Giant has a business partner to help in seafood business. The staffs of ths company start to work when the market starts until noon in the stores to help in the allocation, delivery in the fishery market, as well the operation in stores. As I winessed yesterday, they are not having easy life. Work overnight, soooo hot, a lot of physical output, great energy usage with the hugh volume of seafood e.g Batong, which is very popular in Singapore, needs 300 kg in particular one store.

Before stock arrive the store, I have a nap in Chong's truck. At 7:00am, sky lights up. I continued to observe the receiving and setup in store. The staffs from the fish market also continued to do the unloading of stock to the store. Put the stock from baskets to baskets to have weight check without ice or water. Pallet by pallet are pulling into the counter of the store.

This store (IMM) has very big seafood counter and very good sales. Total 4 staffs do the setup only. Basket by basket put the ice on the display, spice by spice display the products on the ice. The staffs in this store has very discipline. They are very concentrate, contributive and efficient. I appreciate very much.

It is very good experience for me. It reminds me that every one should play their own part in their life, in the company or society, no matter it is easy, not easy. We should do it with our heart.
P.S. : There is long time I have not done self photo shooting. The skill is still quite good :>

    Life in Singapore is less speedy than in Hong Kong, but also less fun there and without my dearest friends around.
    But it is also a good time do some ' thinking'.
    Anyway, miss you all.
