Crazy Traffic

I can't believe that I forgot that today was the end of a long weekend since Hari Raya Haji falls on Thursday and there are a lot of people who take Friday off. So me, the smart ass, decided to start my journey back to KL at 6pm along with the everyone else.

Earlier in the day, I just sat at home enjoying the shows on AXN and then go out for a quick last minute Christmas shopping. My dad was rushing me and it didn't hit me yet till I got stuck along Sungai Perak rest area. That was when the first jam started. It was then I realized that people are heading back to KL to work on the next day -_-"

Then I thought, isn't Tuesday a public holiday too? Why are all these people going back to work? Can't they take Monday off too? But then another realization hit me where not everyone can take Monday off as they might have finished all their annual leave. Damn...how stupid can I get?

The jam from Sungai Perak lasted till the Ipoh Utara toll before it clear for a while. It was 8pm when I reach Ipoh. My sister was complaining hungry so we stop at McDonald's near Tesco Ipoh for dinner. We rested for 30 minutes before we continue our journey. Since we are full and content, I hope for a smooth journey from here onwards.

My wish seems to come true as traffic was smooth till Tapah where the jam started again. But this time, the jam lasted till Rawang. My maximum speed was only 110 km/h while the slowest was 30 km/h. By the time we reached KL, it was pass 12 midnight. For a normal 3 hours journey, it took me 6 hours for I was dumb as not to remember about the jam.

I wonder how come this very IMPORTANT information can slipped my mind? I can say it is due to my holiday mood where I'm on holiday and forgot that there are others who are also on holiday like me. This is my punishment for being dumb -_-"

Bling Party '07

I was sick for the entire week due to viral fever and things are slow for me. Things start to pick up once I got better. My first ever entertainment was to a Christmas party where the theme of the party is 'Bling Party'. The party was held in LOFT where I met up with my kindergarden friend Jin Siang. It was cool to meet up with him.

 
 

Before we head of to the party, we went to a near-by food stall for a quick dinner and to catch up. It was fun to just chill and catch up on old times ^_^ It was about 9pm before we head in to LOFT and the exciting part of the party just started. There were games and lucky draw prizes to be won. Unfortunately, I wasn't that lucky to win the grand prize which is a Sony 32" LCD plasma TV. Damn! Adrian Cho was the winner. What he did to get that prize was to eat damn spicy hotdogs (spicier than chilli padi).

 

Anyway, it was fun and got to chill and hang out with old friends and new friends. But the music was kinda slow as they were trying to chase us out to open the club for other party clubers. In the end, I had a friend, Jeremy who called me to join him and his friend in Aloha.

The invitation was very tempting so I head off to Aloha with a new friend Philip. Once there, I had to call Jeremy to bring us in. When Jeremy came out, he asked us to filled up some promotion form and intro me to one of the promoters. When I saw her, she was a familiar face. It then hit me that she is my sister's friend, Terri. It was so exciting. We didn't manage to talk as she has to work so i got her number to keep in touch with her.

 

I couldn't believe how many people I met that night. I got to meet new people and also bump into old friends. It is so cool ^_^ Once in, Jeremy bought a bottle of Black Label and we had fun drinking and dancing. It has been a long while since I last unwind and let myself go and just have fun. It felt so good. I had a fantastic night and wonder if I have the chance to do it again.

Multi-Level Marketing

Multi Level Marketing (MLM) is the most misunderstood industry in the world currently. Why is it said so? Many say that it is a scam and no one can become rich overnight. I can say that is a true but did anyone promise you that you can be rich overnight? Did anyone promise you that you do not need to work and money comes in your pocket? If there is, I'm sorry that you were mislead by the person who intro you to this industry.

You would be wondering why do I want to blog bout this. I was approach by them and decided to learn more bout this industry before I decide on it. Before I say more, what is the difference between 'facts' and 'opinion'? Facts is something that actually exists; reality; truth: Your fears have no basis in fact. Opinion is a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty; a personal view, attitude, or appraisal. As you can see there is a difference between 'facts' and 'opinions'. 

The fact now is MLM can help you in your financial independence. I'm sorry if those who think that they can be rich overnight and not work hard. MLM is like any normal job. You can't expect to see results in a short time unless you really work hard on it. At the start it may be hard for nothing is easy as we all know. It is our own self motivation that is going to push us further.

As we all know, what MLM does is find friends to join in their network. When a friend approach you, do they force you to join or give you your own freedom to choose? I know there are some who are forced to join while some are given the option to choose. I would like to apologize to those who are forced into this industry. I would also like to apologize to whose who choose to join but see no results. Why do I say that? Do we know WHY we join this industry? I think it is mainly money.

Money attracts, true? Who won't want to make money quick and not work hard. We are all lazy humans. Anything that can benefit us and not work hard, we sure jump in and do it. But, if your WHY's isn't strong enough, do you think you would be successful in this industry? Let's not say this industry, lets say your own life. If your WHY's of living is not strong, do you think you can survive in this world or you decide to suicide?

When your WHY isn't that strong, isn't it easy for people's opinion to make you rethink? I can say, no matter how good the marketing plan is like, when a person tell you it is a scam and you believe it, won't you think it is a scam also when you are not doing well? What happen next? You then decide to quit it then tell others that it is a scam and they cheat you out of your money. But, did you ask yourself who is mainly at fault? For those who are forced, I would like to apologize again that you were mislead and had an unpleasant journey. For those who choose it themselves, who is the one at fault?

We must remember, when we point a finger at others, there is either 3-4 fingers pointing back at our own self. We ourselves are mainly at fault. They have given you the plan, how it works but did we follow? Maybe we did but did we work hard enough or just shake legs and wait for money to come in? Did they promise you that you would be earning 5 digits a month when you first join? If they did, I apologize again. The fact is, the figures were shown to you but what they say is estimated pay and no gurantee you get it for it depends on your hard work.

The main reason for your friends to show you the industry or the business is because they saw the opportunity to be successful not in money wise but in self wise. They show this business to you so that it can benefit you. All they can do is to show you the plan, show you the industry but they can't decide for you. They would share with you or ask their partners to share with you but did they force you? Maybe the way they share seems like but why are they firm? Because they can earn our money? Maybe. Some do it for they sincerely believe it can help you. They were once like us, in our position. They have gone through hard times as well but they kept going. 

What MLM can do is create the opportunity for us. It is then our choice to choose not theirs. There are so many MLM companies out there but which to choose? Look into their background and meet the people who are in it to see if you trust them. Other than that, to see if the environment is the one you prefer. But most important thing is, is the product good or bad. The rest is up to you your own self. No one can force you to do it other than yourself. When you fail, it is either it isn't your cup of tea but force yourself just to earn that big income or you gave up on yourself and not the people who gave up on you. I wouldn't deny that there are some teams who gave up on their downlines. I would like to apologize for that misfortune.
