Yesterday was a very busy day. Can you imagine? I have 4 meetings in 1 day. Luckily the venue is near to each other except one of it.
So let me start with the first meeting at Tampines Central Community Complex. It started at 1.30p.m. It was my mentoring meeting. We have a meeting with my committee members. Some could not come because we were told that it was a last minute meeting notice. YES! I agree that the notice for the CONTACT 2007 meeting was last minute. BUT didn't you guys realise that the BUZZ MEETING 5 was suppose to be held on that day? And the notice for that meeting was sent 2 -3 weeks earlier. HOWEVER due to NOT MANY PEOPLE REPLIED TO THE EMAIL, we decided to cancel it! SO WHAT IS THE LAST MINUTE THING ABOUT?
Not only that, during the meeting, one of the committee members who couldn't make it for the meeting, brings up several STUPID ISSUES via one of the committee members who was there. The issues were:
1. Why she and some of the committee members was not inform on the RECRUITMENT DRIVE(RD)?
2. Why didn't the organiser of the Recruitment Drive asks help from her mentors who she was in-charge of? Therefore, she feels that her group was being left out in fact that her group was part of the club.
GUESS WHAT? Your STUPID ISSUES has make the innocent organiser who for the first time handle an event became panic and the WHOLE people in the meeting room was PUZZLED.
Firstly, for your first question, after clarifying with some of the mentors, we soon found out that it was only YOU who did not know about the RD. SO PLEASE, DON'T DRAG OTHER PEOPLE IN... And for your info, emails had been sent to all the committee members on the date of the RD 1 month earlier. However, due to last minute changes by the SAA side, emails on the date of the RD was sent again 1 or 2 weeks earlier TO ALL COMMITTEE MEMBERS. So how come you didn't get? In fact I can see your name at the list of people that was sent to.
For your second question, given the fact that he's only left with 1 or 2 weeks to get helpers for the RD, he actually sent email to ALL COMMITTEE MEMBERS asking volunteers to help out in the event AS SOON AS he received the notice of the changes in the date for the RD from our advisor. The problem is that, YOU DIDN'T REPLY TO HIS EMAIL. And as was mention in the yesterday's meeting, our advisor said that, since this kind of stuff is voluntarily carried out, those who wanna help, can just help out without having to be asked. I bet those mentors can just see TP-BP Mentors booth located outside the Applied Science school. So JUST STEP UP AND HELP OUT LAH! UNLESS YOU WANT US TO LAID OUT RED CARPET FOR YOU. AND SOME SPRINKLES OF FLOWERS....
I'm so pissed yesterday. We are all OPEN to suggestions and criticisms but I think you should at least do the necessary HOMEWORK before coming out with stupid issues which is just wasting our time. Not only that, that kind of wild accusation will just bring down the morality of the organiser. AND THAT KIND OF ACCUSATION will just show your foolishness. THIS KIND OF THING HAS BEEN HAPPENING SO MANY TIMES! And by the way, if you didn't receive any email from us, GO CLEAN UP YOUR INBOX. Throw away all the shit, so that our email will not bounce back because your inbox are FULLY UTILISED. And please do CHECK YOUR EMAIL REGULARLY. As one of the committee members, you should take the initiative and check your email daily. We can't afford to call you or sms everyone regarding certain stuff. Additionally, I guess you should know that the official communications in any business functions is through EMAIL..
Ok.. After that meeting, I have meeting with the organisers of several events to tell them the necessary stuff that they need to do. And then after that, I have meeting with the TCCC committee members to get the updates of their mentoring session.
And then I went meet SHAMSUL! Long time haven't see him. He's becoming MUSCULAR leh... There's some improvement in his body. GOOD JOB MAN! I just can't wait for time to become a hunky, hotty man... HAHA!
Ok lah.. enough of today's post... CHOW CHIN CHOW! ADIOS AMIGOS!
do you feel what I'm feeling now?

Today is a cold day. I LIKE! I feels like I'm in London..haha!
Initially, there's nothing much I want to write for today. But when I read one of my friends blog regarding this stupid person with a businessman image, it reminds me of this incident that I just can't forget about. It happens around this year.
One fine night while I was doing my project, I received a call from this lady who claim she's from this company. And then she said that I was nominated to attend for a job interview. I was so shocked because I didn't even apply for any job recently. I thought I was just being lucky especially when she use the word "NOMINATED".
So I did went for that interview, and guess what? It was an interview for a sales job. Argh! I so hate selling! I didn't know about it until the interviewer inform me about the job scope. At the point of time I was like "PLEASE GET ME OUT OF HERE!" But as usual, I remained calm. And by the way, the product I have to sell is this "healthy mineral water"! It comes in bottles and also in a big water container.
So after the interview, I had to go training on the day itself with this lady who claims to make a fortune out of this stupid sales job. She go through with us (me and other people who seems are forced to be there) the several strategies in selling this stupid drink. Its something like the more you sell, the more points will be given and with higher points, you will be promoted to become manager and other bonuses like mercedes cars and other stuff.
After the boring briefing, she convinced us to take this job. She said something like this, "This is the chance for you to make fortune out of this job. Now you see, I'm now enjoying my life. So anybody here who has reasons why not to take this job?" Then I said that I have SIP soon so I may want to consider it first. Then this lady said, "Why u have to consider? There's nothing you can lose what? This is like so typical of Singaporeans. They like to consider opportunities that are in front of them." I was like SO MAD. So means what, she's not Singaporean ah..And by the way, Singaporeans is not as STUPID as you! Different people has different interest and not like you, interested in selling a PATHETIC water bottle!
Then after that, we were introduced with this male manager. He has this CEO kind of image with the blazer and tie etc. The people around him who are working in the same company address him as Mr ....... (i forget his name). We met him at this cafe and guess what drink he bought? A SMALL GLASS OF PLAIN WATER.. Cheapo sia! So he was telling us about him didn't complete his secondary school studies and got this sales job and TA DA! He's a manager now by just selling drink! Then he said roughly like this, "So you guys should consider taking this job. You don't have to study. You study hard for what?". Then he looked at me. I answered that it's for long term investment. Then he said," WHY YOU HAVE TO WASTE YOUR MONEY AND TIME TO GET A DIPLOMA CERTIFICATE WHICH JUST COST $0.40 PER PIECE. You look at me, at this age, I no need to work so hard, I got enough money to retire also. Some more ah, you study hard also for what? You know or not? SINGAPOREANS WHO STUDY HARD THEN WORK PART-TIME AT FAST-FOOD OUTLET IS MUCH MORE LOW CLASS THEN THE BANGLADESHI WHO WORK AS A CONSTRUCTION WORKER. The bangladeshi work at a construction and get paid more than $1000/month while those work at the fast-food outlet get lesser than that per month."
I was CURSING LIKE MAD AT THAT ASSHOLE. In my heart lah definitely. For me, I think he's mindset is definitely very short-term. I'm telling you if one day, the company goes bankcrupt, this guy are going to suffer. Some more, I don't like him looking down at people which in this case the bangladeshi and the fast-food staffs. Without them, i think YOU GO PREPARE YOUR OWN BURGER LAH! AND THEN YOU BUILD YOUR OWN HOUSE WITH YOUR MINERAL WATER SALES INCOME! And by the way, I am more willing to work at fast-food outlet than working as this stupid salesperson and being called a manager or CEO and soon finds out that he's qualifications is just a PSLE certificate. HOW PATHETIC!
For me, I don't mind whether you have PSLE certificate only or not, but don't look down on people who has been studying hard to get high qualifications. Don't think you have lots of money, you can control the world. And don't expect people to have the same dreams as you who only knows about getting more money. Each of us are unique and has their own dreams. If everybody is to be like you, then the whole world will be polluted with mineral water bottles. SO GET A LIFE!
Since then, whenever I saw people wearing businessman like, I didn't straight away say " WAH! BUSINESSMAN! SO GOOD! " Because sometimes the person you are looking at is just a PATHETIC SALESPERSON WHO CLAIM HIMSELF A MANAGER BY SELLING A MINERAL WATER!
I think his motto is:
BE RICH! SELL STUPID WATER BOTTLE!
NO NEED TO STUDY! RETIRE EARLY!
NEED TO GET A LIFE! BE SICK!
NEED HELP! BE PATHETIC!
do you feel, what I'm feeling now?
