MLM - "mlm-mlm " get it?
You know, so many people are involved in those MLM - Multi level marketing bizness everywhere here in Bayan Lepas - Amway la, Cosway la, etc etc
Not that I am against MLM, but the way those people approach and persuade you into the bizness, it is so predictable, to the point of annoying at times...they are like questioning the job you are doing...why it is justified to get into the bizness...teaching you about how to manage your money...
Financial freedom la...take charge of your financial path when you are young la...etc etc...same old story...even quoting contents from Rich Dad Poor Dad By Robert Kiyosaki
Then there is an IT technician from my company who passed by my place and tried to spread the 'propaganda' to me the day before - this time it is about MLM for electrical appliances
Normally, I would smile and seem very interested in everything they have to say when they are relating their 'kangtao'. Sure...I will listen...intently....and once they finished....I would tell them good opportunity! I will surely give it some thoughts...and by this time they will try to push you to act immediately....paying the deposits for membership...
Sorry, but I am not convinced with everything you have to say. Learned this from a good fren of mine...when a so called charity person approached him in Sunshine Foodcourt having lunch - the fella talked to him like 5 minutes about the charity donation...and all my fren did was smiling..slightly...acting interested...while having his lunch....and then when the time was up...he just smiled and said " Sorry, not interested" WTF! HAHA salute him for that....Coz he said, " I have given him the chance to convince me, but I am not convinced, so end of story!"
Then, another thing he said which I agreed is that...if everyone is involved in MLM...where all they do is selling people stuff....we might end up, one day, selling each other stuff without any intellectual development for ourself and the country..what's the point in that? Yeah...everyone cari duit and cari makan....but this just dont seem right
Ah, another fren of mine just drop these tips when MLM ppl approach you:
telll them firmly to fuck off
or just rip them off
get them to buy u drink/makan and then say sorry not interested
Nice one ADJ!

Engineer VS Management Story
Got this forward email from my colleague
Once upon a time, a man in a hot air balloon realized that he was
lost.
He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He descended a bit more
and shouted. "Excuse me, can you help me ? I promised a friend I would
meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The woman below replied. "You're in a hot air balloon hovering
approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 50 and 51
degrees north latitude and between 114 and 115 degrees west
longitude."
"You must be an engineer," said the balloonist.
"I am," replied the woman. "How did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is
technically correct, but I've no idea what to make use of your
information. The fact is, I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been
much help at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip."
The woman below responded, "You must be in management."
"I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
"Well," said the woman, "you don't know where you are or where you're
going.
You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air.
You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect
people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is, you are in
exactly the sa me position you were in before we met, but now,
somehow, you've managed to make it my fault!!

Corporate lesson#83
As my boss said, "...half of the time, an engineer's job is to plan. People don't plan to fail, but they always fail to plan..."
I wonder what will be his reaction if I forward him this comic strip :P
Worthy mention, quoted from Spiderman 2:
"I know. I'm planning to write it (the thesis) on Dr Otto Octavius." Peter Parker.
"Planning is not a major at this university." Peter's lecturer.

Corporate lesson #82
Anyone who has worked for at least 6 months in any multi-departmental organization can fully testify to this scenario as portrayed...
Yea...it is a hassle....and most of the time, it seems like running in circles....but if you don't want your precious ass getting screwed when there is any unforeseen "dispute" in the future, this is exactly what everyone is doing
