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?
