I'm once again blogging at someone else's house at like what? 2.10am? hahaha. its prob one of the very few times i get to stayover outside home aside from camps and chalets. tada! I am in SHULING'S house. yeap, hospitable shuling agreed to take me in after an intense mahjong and movie session at her house(life after the As is really good!), it occured to me that there is no way im getting back home without paying the midnight cab fare. so called mum and she allowed(whee!) really looking forward to a great chill out night, but actually we're all tired, because....
today i was supposed to go with shubs to thie 'job interview' that she got through the papers(speaking of that, im still jobless, so if u guys have any great offers, dun hesitate to recommend some) so i went with her. met this guy named gary at eunos mrt. were greeted by the awkward coordination of a smart and sophisticated attire and a really old fashioned tie. not mentioning, the executive image and the broken english that came through his mouth. dun forget, i was still clueless abt the job even as he brought us to the building where the office was situated. Then he told us we had to go through a demo abt the products by the company and stuff like that. honestly my mind was somewhere else mainly because i wasnt interested in HEALTH products(hello im an 18 years old teenager!) and partly becase i slept at 3 the previous night. well smarty me was quick enough to realise that this whole thing is MLM (multi-level marketing). Ok, im not exactly smart, but my mum has done MLM before so i kinda know the 'procedures'.
first they show u the benefits and properties of the products. speaking of which, oh God, i am so NOT impressed. Ok basically thier products is some special water. i wont name it here lest i get myself in a lawsuit. so they started telling us chemical properties of the water and tried to show us using some simple experiments. thing is, I am an 18 year old JC student who has just completed her chemistry A level exam. Do you not think i could see through those gimmicks u were pulling? goodness. like for goodness sake. our blood is acidic not because of eating KFC chicken injected with steroids and growth genes..
1) Our blood is acidic because of the presence of hydorgen carbonate ions and MANY other factors.
2) KFC chicken are NOT injected with steroids and growth genes. STEROIDS are drugs that makes u HIGH. KFC chicken are injected with growth hormones.
4) steroids are not acidic (i think)
3) no such thing as growth genes injections. Its growth hormones.
trust me, this is only ONE part of it. can u believe it?
next, they tried to attract us by telling how much money u can make. well, MLM systems are lauded by their high incentive system yes, but come on la. u think so easy ah. so easy everyone can be millionaire or earn 5 digit figures not doing anything liao. and besides. not everyone pursues a 5 digit pay by the age of 21. although i do admit it is very attractive, come to think of it. its just sooo... materialistic, the whole idea of attracting us through the MLM incentive system.
dun get me wrong, i have nothing against MLM. In fact, people who do well in MLM are really capable people. but few get there. and its not easy, really.
yup. so that was my adventure with shubs at 'The Job' today. im still jobless, and depressed because i am. GET ME A JOB!
okay back to watchin heroes!
2:10 AM
blessed.
