November Rain

It's already mid of November 2009, so much stories and memoirs to tell, but so little time. Life has been so hectic lately. About the unit trust, about the Tupperware business, about the housing refinance, about the maid going back at the end of this month, about the search for new agent to get a new maid, about the withdrawal of EPF to lessen the housing loan, about so many other things!

But all is not to agonize for. Hey, I am officially a Director in Tupperware business. That's quite a big milestone. To be a director you need to have at least 14 people and sales of not less than RM4k every month. This is something new and exciting. I have to do this business quietly though, as long as my upline in unit trust does not know, I'm in good hands. If she were to find out, habislah...."I ask you for a very long time to do unit trust full time, why you go and do other business"...haiyak.....prevention is better than cure. It's just that I've found the business very exciting. That's all.

For the last 2 weeks, I've been spending time in KL, doing some ****** last minute assignment. Imagine, going back at 9pm everyday, with 2 nites at 12.30 am and the last nite, at 4.30am! Goodness!!! If this is to continue, I'll soon burn out man...working late really means that you're inefficient. I believe that we can only be effective up to 8 pm the most. Beyond that, your thinking and energy level would be shooting down the drain every second. But some people just don't believe in that principle. Work and continue working, whatever it takes, doesn't matter how excruciatingly starving we were, and beyond 9pm, all that we could think off was how fluffy the mattress and pillows were at the hotel. But then again, when you are "kulikutif", how can you challenge the "executive". This is what it takes to makan gaji laaaa....

If you makan gaji, it's very difficult to achieve financial freedom. Just read what Kiyosaki said in his Cashflow Quadrant. We are taxed the most. Every RM1 that I earn, I have to pay back RM0.30 to the government. If I get a bonus of RM10k, that's a good RM3k to Najib and his gang. Now, what does he do with my money? Well, at the very least, I would expect that the promise to have the PG hiway widened to 3 lanes will materialize. It has been 3 Rancangan Malaysia duration, but what had happened man? I would also expect that the Putra LRT to have longer coach and more frequent schedule. At least 1 train every 5 minutes. I hope all these wishful thinking could be realized by Rosmah, if not the husband.

KL life is expensive. Nasi Briyani is at RM7, while in JB you can still get it at RM4. Nasi goreng kerabu is at RM6, in JB still at RM4. If I were to work in KL, I guess I have to tighten my tummy a bit. Walk far, take the public transport. It is a good quality life you can have in KL, but you know, as they say it, there's no place like home. I remember when I talked to Sarah, the ATK consultant, about how America invaded Iraq, that this showed how America did not respect the sovereignty of a nation, and this also means that America can just invade any country. The hell with sovereignty and respect. She agreed with me. She even added a few more comments condemning her country. But at the end, she did say, "No matter how fucked up the leader was, I still love my country, there's no place like home". Couldn't agree more.

Hmmm...HR had assigned me 2 mentees to be mentored. I missed the Mentor-Mentee relationship building session last Thursday, because of the ****** work in KL. Heard that it will be in my KPI to ensure that at least I meet them and direct them to the right direction in their career life. You know what kind of advise I will give? Among them, join MLM, or do side business. This is how you develop your selling skills, indirectly boosting your self confidence, helping you to plan, teaching you how to guide and lead people, and many more endless skill building and skill enhancing programs which you can never learn if you only work 8-5 everyday. Thank God that I have the chance to such opportunity. Then if HR ask them what have you learned from your mentor, the 2 boys would answer something like this - She ask us to do MLM. Well, better still if they become my downline and also buy unit trust from me. Hahaha....
Killing 2 birds with 1 stone eh....

Many more stories mories to come....
