network marketing

haiz... one of my staffs from Delifrance called me just now out of the blue... I thought wow... so nice to call me and catch up with me on old times meh? She said she is in the final year of her diploma and is now doing her final year project... and I thought ok I would be nice to help her in her project.. because I know how hard it is to survive through a final year project without help from others... especially when my final year project in university requires 3000 people to help complete a 5 page quetionaire.. first she didn't mention anything about the project like what she was doing, second she never mention what was the purpose of the project she was doing.. she asked about my family situation which is normal for any surveys... then she asked if I can arrange a meeting between her and my family in my house... ok that sounds funni...

i started to ask her what was her project and what she is supposed to do.. and she mention something about creating awareness about a product and finding out comments and feedbacks on it... Ok sound normal but I explained to her that my parents will surely not entertain her... then the more she talk around the bush trying to fix a appointment with my parents, the more irritated I am.. but never mind.. being the nice mdm and manager I am, I probe more and ask more helping her to explain better... of coz which include asking her straight what was her product because she never tell her anything about the product that she is doing a survey on from the very beginning.. then ok I managed to convince her that my parents will not talk to her on any issues beneficial or not...

so I volunteer to help her by talking to her more... then she went on to say since she cannot come to my place to talk more, why not I go to her seminar... OK THAT SOUND LIKE NETWORK MARKETING!!!!.. I asked her straight if she is in network marketing and she admitted it finally... ok I was pissed... sh lied to a nice person on a basis of her 3rd year final year project trying to lure and cheat me to another network marketing seminar.... WHY CAN'T THESE PPL HAVE MORE TRANSPARENCIES IN WHAT THEY DO... if u belong to a network marketing company and u need ppl to go to ur seminar.. SAY SO!!! If ppl are loyal believers of the product, if they are willing to go... they will go... dun try and cheat ppl to seminars when they dun want to be there in the first place..... and start trying to brain wash them about your company and products... and yah they will try and tell u that their company are not one of those bad network marketing scams.. and their products are beneficial to you and your family...

ARGHHH I SERIOUSLY HATE THESE PPL... really to the core... the next thing u know they try and sell u the products, they try to get u to help sell their products, and they will call u every now and then to BEG u to buy their products because they need to earn points to go on a incentive trip and stuffs... CHEATERS & LIERS... i told my staff off straight away in a nice manner of coz... ultimately ppl are just trying to get some experience and earn some quick bucks... you know what.. the government should step in and stop this kind of bad practices... why can't they just hire a proper sale person and do direct selling... rather than dragging ppl one by one to seminars with a underlying motive... with a promise of benefits andbig money...I do have frenz still working in some network marketing companies. but at least they respect me enough not to drag/invite/ask me out to some unknown places which end up to be a network marketing seminar.... they will ask or invite me to their product demonstration seminar or fair and it is up to me to choose if I want to attend it or not... not go there, get a shock of my life when 4 or 5 friendly ppl walk up to u offering a chit chat and then the brain washing and selling starts... and THE WORST THING IS U CAN'T WALK OUT AT UR WISHES no matter how many times u repeat to them U ARE NOT INTERESTED!!!!

pissed off... seriously....

my boss now who happen to be a very good salesperson always insists that a good sales person and company should respect the customer/users wishes... always sell your products accordingly to their needs... if they dun need it.. dun continue to push it to them because it will result in a sense of mistrust... and the next time they need things, they wun look for u anymore... so if someone say no.. there is seriously no need to push things further... it will just make the person pissed off... and always get things nice and clear about the products... be transparent.. let them know about the products,what are the uses of the products, what are the benefits to the person and let the person decide for himself if it will be useful and if he/she needs it and wants it.. this is respect.... and it contributes to a healthy relationship between the customers and the company... because if the person really need it, he/she will be more than willing and happy to use it...

so next time any of my frenz reading my blog, if u ever consider joining a network marketing company.. please take me out of your list of ppl to call for brainwashing.... thank you..

sleepless night

haiz...another sleepless night... tried ways and means to force myself to sleep... but still can't... even Bossa Nova didn't help this time... haiz... there seem to be something at the back of my head... I wonder how long can I take this kind of emotional and physical stress....?

Old frenz....

Tired... but couldn't get to sleep... waiting for my dear to reach home from his drinking session with his colleagues at work...

Anyway met up with a couple of long time no see frenz recently...

Went for dinner just now... saw two of my secondary school frenz.. Cai Jin Feng and Whoo Jin Hao.. Ok i have no idea whether I spelt their names correctly but yah that is roughly their names... hahaha.. I used to walk to school with Jin Hao... and Jin Feng have been with me since kindergarden to primary school to secondary school.. hahaha.. Sui Hui has been going out with these two guyes as a group together with some other secondary school mates and she kept asking me along but firstly I am just too lazy.. secondary I am too shy... hahahaha.... dunno what to talk to them when I see them.. it has been such a long time since I last met any of them... anyway just now I was just walking past them and I saw Jin Hao looking at me and I recognised him at the first look but it took me some time to recognise Jin Feng.. bad right?? seriously I felt very bad that I cannot recognise him.. and I have no idea why... hahaha... and I am toopidz enough to ask him who is he!!! Arghhh... oh my goodness.... he must have seriously hate me for that.. hahaha.. becoz I was on quite good terms with him in school... hahaha... and he recognised me.. U know.. haiz..*shakes head*... I always call them in their full name plus their surname in school which is rather bad of me I agree... and that was exactly what i did again just now... bad habits never do change.. hehehe

Last week or the week before I met up with Julia who flew back to Singapore for a short holiday... so happie to see her.... I haven't seen her for ages really and it is always nice to be able to catch up with a frenz who you haven't seen for a very long time... we of coz went to our fav restaurant at Raffles City Shopping Centre "Out Of The Pan" to have our delightful Peking Duck crepes and desserts....Julia's favourite Tiramisu.. I tried something different this time... I went for the brownie with icecream.. Oh my goodness.. it is so sinful and rich in chocolate... but it is nice end of story.. hahaha... me and Julia we always get excited going to this restaurant becoz we both agreed they serve very good and tasty crepes and desserts.. and we got drinks on the house because Julia's sister has a frenz working there.. of coz Chan Chen and Julia's sister were there with us... we later decided to go for coffee and more chit chat... and we were joined by my darling, Julia's another sister and her husband.. and her sister's frenz.. got to apologize to Julia on this because being the blur me, I cannot differentiate who is the elder sis and the younger sis.. hahaha.. but yah all the sis was there la.. hahaha... but anyway we knew each other including the sisters since poly times so it was still alright.. hahaha

perfect song of the year

I seriously love this song alot... and I think this song contain hell of a meaning to everyone hoping to be in love, already in love or married....

Somebody - Depeche Mode
I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who'll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
She'll get my support
She will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
She'll hear me out
And won't easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact she'll often disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me

I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and
With every breath
Someone who'll help me see things
In a different light
All the things I detest
I will almost like
I don't want to be tied
To anyone's strings
I'm carefully trying to steer clear of
Those things
But when I'm asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I'll get away with it

having pms

I am having my pms recently... my mood is just like the sucky weather.. experiencing extreme irritation and anger... looks like all my preaching dun seem to be working on me.... as I am getting frustered at the simplest things...

Everything he do seems to piss me off... even the way he speaks, the way he talks piss me off... oh my god.. what is wrong with me?? I remembered I am watching a show on TV.. very touched by the wedding that was going on and the love story between the couple.... what they have been through to be together... and he made some comments.. and I got seriously pissed....to him I am being too emotional being touched by someone else's story... to me I feel like he dun understand my feelings at all... then we had a slight disagreement... haiz... maybe it is just me... trying to make things difficult... he can make a joke and I think it is irritating... and I get pissed off over it... seriously.... last time he can make the same joke and I think ok he is just joking with me... now I just got pissed and shut up...

Just what is wrong with me? How can anyone in the world tolerate my moods..?

wondering...

I can understand the amount of hatred arising from someone who is betrayed by the person he love the most.... the person he has spent half of his life with... the person who he so wanted to spend the rest of his life with... the person who he thought he will be spending the rest of his life with.... the person who gave him the promise of forever love till eternity... the person who he has been discussing and planning abt marriage for so long.... however this is the person who hurt him the most... I know why he hate me... I know why he can't bring himself to forgive me... becoz I hurted him too much from the very beginning.....

follow ur heart..

I still have to insist the most important thing in life is to follow ur heart... do what u wan to do, do what u wish to do.. of coz with proper planning and a logical realistic mindset.... not saying that u wish to stay in Banyan Tree Maldives.. u follow ur heart book in for a month there and think abt the huge debt u will incur later in the month.. that is superb foolish... nono... be realistic.. for those you can achieve now.. go ahead and do it... for those u can't achieve it now.. plan how u are going to achieve it in the future... once again there is nothing in this world u can't achieve... but back again nothing in this world is superb necessary except for the basic food and water complusary to keep ur life going on... one have to really learn how to be contented with the simple things in life really...

In life, we often allow ourselves to get all worked up about things that, upon closer examination, aren't really that big a deal or important after all. We focus on the little problems and concerns and blow them way out of proportion and in the end getting ourselves all pissed off, angry and miserable. U have ppl getting pissed off waiting in queues after 5 mins waiting time, u have ppl fighting becoz of a stare... is it neccessary.? Does getting pissed off help..? In fact it doesn't.. it just make things worse.... and u drop deeper and deeper into the hole of misery... in fact actually u didn't drop it.. u dug ur way in urself... u are just so engrossed in getting pissed off at a small thing that u keep on digging and digging in ur own world of thoughts and the next thing u know u are 20 metres deep in the ground probably half buried alive... hahaha.. true.. think abt it...

I used to do that myself... now i am trying to be more patient and more calm looking into things... when i get pissed or angry abt something.. i will think if that thing matter 10 yrs down the road... if it doesn't i discard it to the back of the brain... I have to admit it is hard especially for a foul tempered ppl like me... but I am learning and I am trying.. at least I bother to try... true?? Haha... I just told my best buddy the same thing too... I hope it make sense to him and I hope he will learn how to let go of the small details in life.. sometimes in life it is the big picture that is the most important... looking too much into small details may cause u certain unhappiness.... becoz u are focusing too much in the present.. but ignoring anything in the future.... sometimes the small details wun even count in the long term...

I hope I am making some sense here.. hahaha
