Pool Party at Federal Hotel, Jalan Bukit Bintang... (12/2/06)

It was Sunday, i had too much sleeping. I supposed to meet my girl in the morning but i woke up at 5pm... Damn, how wasted the weekend, but i've enough sleep though... She called few times that i hardly could listen to my phone rang due sleeping like a pig. I knew she would've been mad after few times i can't bare myself to put her at first priority, by all means my priority would be sleeping all the way like there's never be tomorrow for me... Like suicidal case, i'm pretty nuts thinking of that. Past previous posts, i'm almost decided to leave the world of cruelty, but then when in terms of 'never give up', i gotta get my shit together no matter how...

Ok, after i woke up, she called again, and asked me if i'm gonna fetch her. It was raining heavily, and she told me her place stopped raining, so it's easier for her to come over, as i know my car can't travel too far, just 3 nuts screwed at a rim, quite dangerous... About 7pm, Seng called me and we rendezvous at our primary station: Thundernet Cafe. All the friends were not there yet, so we went for dinner while waiting the rest to join us. Therefore some changes been made, we went to the Pool Party ourselves...



The party started earlier before evening, and all the guys and girls were playing in the pool. The food were almost finished and the pool party almost ended... I'm sad cuz i can't easily take pictures using my phone at dark, only few can be at least could take. I asked Seng few times what time the party started, at first he said about 2pm, then the other day he said it started at 8pm. Somehow i can't blame him cuz he wanted to bring some friends to join us too but some need to work till evening. Sort of wasted, imagine i could see the pretty girls in bikini or swimsuits at daylight, clear view...

This day was considered as Chap Goh Mei, last day of Chinese New Year, also known as Chinese's Valentine's Day, centuries ago, girls would have to gather themselves at a river, with the mandarin oranges at their hands, they needed to write down their names and throw it at the river, so the guys also would have to gather themselves on the other side of the river, each of them had to collect only one mandarin orange randomly to search for their soul mates. It had become a tradition to all the Chinese and now not much people doing that cuz some might think bringing their love ones to dinner, movie or their love nest, just that simple. Somehow this pool party made this tradition alive and everyone's having fun. When technology becomes handy, the girls wrote their names and their mobile phone numbers on the mandarin orange and throw it at the pool, so the guys like hungry wolves would swim across here and there just to collect the mandarin oranges. But the part of getting it, i'm not sure they'll call the girls to meet up and have a date, all i knew the concept was made for fun, also might be something going on with the lucky new dates, not sure about that.

Some guys would like grabbing the girls and throw them into the pool, even they were not dressed in swimming suits. Seng's friend also, he came without a swimming trunk, forced to strip, left undies with him and joined the fun, Seng also almost a victim to that, but the pool section has ended, so everyone needed to clear off the premises, i may say, he just got lucky, and me too...

That's not all, there's a Big 2 card game was held, with 32 contestants had to win till left 4 contestants in final. I did play few rounds, yet i told myself not to touch any card games. I swore that i never play any games which it involves gambling, i hate gambling very much, seriously. Not even buying lottery tickets just to have the luck winning big bucks, not my character. I admit i used to gamble when i was 16, working and after i got my salary, i finished it in a day of gambling... That's crazy, i know, so it reminded me not to start a gamble thought anymore in my whole life, not if i'm rich. Maybe i wasn't have much luck in life... Not sure. When i played a few rounds, i won most of the time. The best was the round i won just in few seconds, got lucky getting nice cards. Sometimes i played Big 2 card game in my phone that i installed it previously, so i shouldn't have any problems winning the game. So the whole game was very funny, we're the most noisiest table with laughs and talks, attracted the other tables of players wondering what were we laughing about. I hope my girl still there watching the fun, cuz i laughed till my tears dropped and stomach aching.

My girl left earlier cuz she need to work on Monday, my instinct told me right, she had to drive so when she needed to leave, it's easier than i left with her. I need to stay longer to see what's happening after the party, maybe my friends wanted to have a short gathering. After this Chinese New Year, i've to work hard and stay on busy without thinking of clubbing or window shopping, cuz i know i need to work out some money to do things i wanted. It's about half year passed and still i'm empty, so this year i should show myself some good results and the following year i wouldn't be so tense and uptight on my financial. Thus, i won't be have more time spending with my girl. On every Saturday, i must be at my parent's house for dinner, most importantly i need to coop up the relationship i've lost 11 years ago, my bad. My parents are getting old, my mom became forgetful and my dad hardly could wander around Pudu to spend his retirement period. My cousin nephews from 1 to 4 already, and i don't know their names, they even don't know who am i. My cousin sister got married, and my other cousins got boyfriends and girlfriends, almost planning to get married. I'm sort of left out... Damn, but i don't think it's late for me, i must work things out.

Back to the Big 2 card game competition. And so the last 4 to the final, 3 guys, 2 Chinese and a Singh, and a Malay girl. Everyone's playing carefully cuz whoever won will receive RM500 cash money sponsored by Steven Lok... (maybe soon you'll know who's this main guy, who organised and sponsored everything to this Pool Party) I couldn't believe a Malay girl could win until final, her moves were not that professional, but i've no doubts for the guys. Lastly, the Singh guy, people called him 'DJ', won the game and was rewarded. He's the one in the picture i took about the card game, the guy at the centre top.

Then, it's the call of the night, everyone's leaving, i followed Chew's car back to my place and went a short drink with Seng, planning about tomorrow's Business Preview at PWTC presented by Steven Yeam. They kept telling about the his talk show's greatness, not to say i never been such seminars, but this time i only pay RM20 or less for the talk show, so it's not a burden to see how great it was. Whenever there's a Business Preview, it surely costs more than few hundreds to thousands for one time experience, how could i possible be interested and willing to pay such amount even it's so good to experience it? I personally like to listen to other people's experience in business, they have their concepts and strategies, some may apply for future business, and it's very important for those who want to upgrade their professions by learning from others. Although i'm not involved in any kind of business, surely it'll be a good learning progress for me, knowing it first before i became shitty by the time problems came.

Also, when there's an MLM business preview, lots of people won't be interested. So am i, but that's just in the beginning. It's just because most of it only talks about the same thing from a script, or just about the money talks could make people's mind fade away... Just like selling a fridge to an Eskimo, everything that's relevant made people think it's impossible and absurd, by all means it's crap. What i think is when they say they know or understand, they knew nothing. How about the things you've achieved and you never realised that's possible? Luck? It's about effort that could make someone successful, just as simple as that. The preview is to let the people explore how can a business makes a person successful in life, realising the facts and natures of all the business.

You see, we are in this world full of negatives, for example, we work in a company, with colleagues and superiors. When the first day of work, everyone's friendly with you, teach you how to do your job, a little guidance to help yourself achieving sales target (or which may apply due your jobscope). After few months, rumours heard from the colleagues, like he don't like you cuz you made more sales than him, or maybe some colleagues may say something bad about you to others although you know yourself doing nothing wrong just to make sure you ain't promoted for the next few months. Or maybe you knew your colleague could do more sales than you and you tried to seek guidance from the colleagues, he/she may eventually give you a little guidance just to make sure you would never win him/her... Things could happened like that even you knew but not realised, and somehow these symptoms could break your hopes to pieces and everytime you came back from work, all you need to do is whining at your friends, and friends you have won't be so much interested listening to your crap as though they have the same shit like you. When time goes by, you'll turned into society crap with all the superficial nasty bastards clinging you on the wall as punching bag. After all the pain you've gone through, finally you'll be someone higher status and it's about time to pay back, and all the new colleagues will be your new punching bags, expressing your hatred in the past to them, and finally you've trained a new generation of fucked ups who will continue your mean teachings on the others... Well, we knew it's a 'Dog Eat Dog' world, and we need to have something which we could understand we're humans and with trial and error, we need to coop up the positives. And whatever i said it's easier than to be done, as long as i know if nobody starts it, it'll never reveal the good side of the human nature. I knew somebody did it, and thank God for those whose not punching bag victims, and peacefully live their life with their permanent jobs.

That's why people creates religion, the have the people believe there's always hope if they could make the effort to find out, same to the working people, they need to know what's wrong with their working life, so there's a Business Preview for everyone. They just don't want to fight it as they were sure it's a losing point, like they said, everyone's doing the right thing to make a living. When there's a chance that could really change a person's life, they would considered it a denial. How denial it was? When that particular person could start out a new venture of business, which could have taken his first few years of hard attemps, thereafter he could enjoy his new life with his hard earned big bucks, just as simple as talking about working in MLM business, as prefer considered as a denial fact. Like i said, doing the routine of the normal job is a right thing to do. Ok, let's sort out my point of view:

I worked more than 10 years without a certificate in hand, and what i've earned most was RM2000 plus. Therefore i could eagerly managed to pay my car, and further on i'll be worrying of how much more i could earn to buy a house, get married and have kids? Years by years passed and everything seems much more expensive and even people who earned RM5000 were burdening themselves having houses and cars, with wife and children. Others would see they're successful, earning lots of money. But think of it, how long would it lasts? How about a business you have, like a handphone shop. At first few years you'll owe debts from banks, another few years later you could see some results from your business, and another few years later you'll see somehow other people would have more branches than you, and even earning more than you, and when this became more and more shops opened, your business has become diverted and distributed, your turnover had became devastated and lastly you'll have to cover the loss, and became in debts again. Whatever you sell has not much value, and you beg for more alternatives to improve and more selections and more and more headache you'll get. So then, why everyone's encouraging others to do business like that even they knew it'll be a burden in the end? Why they never think it's a denial for that? A pollution of society: "Wah, do business ar? Good wor, as a boss, got time swinging dicks around and more money to spend." In other words, they see you nice and neat, but your background was a pile of shit.

I always wanted to do my own business, after i heard friends having shits to secure badly, i'm afraid that i need to continue thinking what sort of jobs could make me secure my life, forgetting the hopes i ever had: nice cars, nice house, married in happy life with kids... All these had became from hopes to fears, and when i see that, i see dead end, and as always i'll be in my old life, wandering like a loner with thoughts of suicide...

These symptoms always been in everyone, and no one wanted to change it as they've adapted it like an obligation to them. That's how i realised, and when i tried to put this topic up with friends, they always said 'this is life man, deal with it.' When will this be changed? How far a person would think of his life just only find a job and work? How long could he work? How much he could get? How high hopes he'll be when he met lots of boundaries i've mentioned above? I've seen these through a lot and it keeps me terrified, wondering what it'll be next for me?

I think most of the people knew a book called 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad'. My dad is 'Poor Dad', and i don't say my friends from SYN are 'Rich Dad'. Why? Simple, Rich Dad did mention 'let the money runs for you...' The SYN people never thought of money runs for them. All they knew was the team playing part, helping each other and the goodness to learn from each other. Yes, whatever you do, money always comes to you, but in terms of runs to you, you don't need to work hard but just a minor management. That's how people think it's crap, and cheating others. What they contributed were much more unexpected, yet it's true enough to believe, cuz the office they own, all the high rankings contributed big sums of money, even the tables for the juniors to sit and talk about business. Also the seminars they held, how come i pay only RM20? Actually things don't come free and also it's possible to have us paying a little just to experience it, the rest were contributed by the high rankings. Why would they do that? Because they care the juniors, they are not the ones waiting for the money runs for them but to make money works for everyone, like compliments. When they contribute, they know themselves they have the responsiblities, and they won't just left out waiting the money runs for them. That's exactly impressed me and wanted join them, knowing more what's behind this business, why would the leaders care and not just the money they wanted to earn. This is a positive business, a good marketing plan and i'm sure it's not cheating. And also there's no selling, cuz all the things we need to do is provide business proposal. Lampe Berger products are only items that could support this business. Tell me, what sort of business you can propose without a single item to support your business? Believe me, any kind of business, there must be an item or more, without a shit, that's cheating...

Is the same as if i'm selling office equipment. Once i started it, of course in the first place i need to have some clients. Likewise, i have friends had their own business which they need stuffs i'm selling, and therefore i'll go to them and propose. Some may just accept my proposal and my sales will work on. And randomly i'll have anonymous clients, they'll get my stuffs every month for their business and same as the terms of 30 or 60 days. Soon, i'll be in debts cuz i may have more incoming new stocks and the old stocks jammed through halfway, few of my friends or clients hold up the payment and i'm doomed paying back my suppliers, later on my suppliers would've late deliveries on my orders and finally my shithole got deeper... My suppliers cut contract with me, my friends talking shits about my price and quality of stuffs, and therefore my business went devastated... It's just a common thing that happens to anyone who's dealing any kind of business. Doesn't common stuffs bores you?

But the differences between the business of MLM and my so called office equipment:

We don't have terms of 30 days, or contracts. We don't have debts between us, we don't have to pay expenses on employees, rent and utilities. We don't have jammed stocks and late deliveries. We don't have to be so politics about our job and colleagues. I've said about this business nature, we don't sell stuffs but business proposal. We just find the right candidate who understand the positives of this business, he'll join us as business partners, (same as clients or friends who deal with my office equipments). Then we'll venture together to find more candidates and all of us earning money together, without doubts of who could find more. It's still a job which people could find money, as long people believe that this business could bring their hopes back and not being so negative to shits you've gone through.

And yes, people would think it's still cheating other people's money. Why?

Heh, if i sell you my office equipments at normal price (which you were convinced by me it's cheaper than you think) and i earned my sales target and live in luxury life, how you know i cheated? You'll just think for yourself, as everyone do: nah, he needs to earn more to cover his expenses. Come on, how about in the other way, which your friends asking more discounts from you (if they really knew the prices in the market and think your goods are highly marked up), soon you'll be eagerly paying your expenses and therefore your friends would live a luxury life. So by all means in cruelty, in the end who's the sohai? Haha...

In this nature of business, nobody's gonna be assholes. Summary, we only help people who in need to achieve their hopes. There can't be cheating in this business, compared to the real world of business. Everything's in set of amount whereby there's no marked up and discounts, fair and square. People who worked harder, of course he has the higher achievement and it doesn't mean he'll be bossing you around, he'll befriend with you and venture the business with you, giving all the guidance you need without a selfish thought. What the Business Proposal has previewed really put in depths of being a real positive human being, and surely the higher rankings knew what kind of responsibility they'll provide to the low rankings.

Somehow, all these words are just the thought of the day after the Pool Party. Ricky, our team leader had put out some points of dealing our life's most wanted achievement. Nobody likes to work for a company, and anybody wants to work for themselves. This is the change of life, a chance given and no doubts i'll be like him, tell the newbies the same old points again, just to make sure:

What YOU want for your LIFE?
