True yoga is seriously making us all super crazy!!!
We've come up with quite a few pet phrases which will follow for many years!!!
We're gonna be legends at true yoga!!! (:
Nandini is damn amazed and impressed with us!
Hopefully Gunisen and Patrick Wee will too!!!
HAHA!!! (:
--> Heeeeee! ~

The latest: --> Heeeee! ~

Overbuddying on the sixth floor has been the next best thing to do!
Especially now that the boys have found a secret pathway from the male toilets!
The best view and the nicest CSOs!!!

--> Heeeee!!! ~


and why is it possible for something built over so long to collapse just like that?
all it took was that little confession from you.
it took so long to build up into something so wonderful,
but it's all gone in a flash of light.
maybe she's right.
maybe they're all right.

FINALLY, THE SUPER LONG AWAITED OFF DAY!!! (:

true yoga day in and day out is seriously sucking everything out of me.
put simply, true yoga is seriously fucking my life upside down.
thank god for friends who stick it through thick and thin with me,
cursing and swearing at all the cheapos who aren't even shy about it,
wrecking our brains in a bid to put across our plated packages most attractively,
and having the time of our lives being damn "XIA LAN".
we came up with a couple of ways to make ourselves feel better after wasting time.
all the "HENG AH!", "THANK GOD!" and "OH YES, VERY GOOD, SAVE THE TREES!"

and definitely,
the fucking long hours isn't doing the job any favours if any at all.
all the stress just flows in like nothing at all.
we're going so crazy, we're dreaming of presos and TOs.
i dreamt of myself doing price preso, asking Marc for TO.
Melvin dreamt telling himself in the dream that the prospect was a black and to make sure he got the credit card before he woke up. HAHA! and he's dreaming other weird dreams too.
after this job, i'm seriously gonna need my LOMBA life back for awhile.

this job redefined neglect as well.
something i really never intended for.
this job stressed me and ruined the traditions.
our used to be nightly conversations, we have barely once a month now.
but the cycle of it never fades away, and it's still quite funny.
and none of this really matters eventually.

back to MPC tmr. OH WOW!!!
but soon, it'll be LOMBA time! (:

in order to close,
it's very crucial to first create and make obvious the value,
creating a fogged (but usually very realistic) illusion,
making the other concerns insignificantly minor.
we'd say: "doing yoga will help you achieve your goal of xxx."
this illusion we can create easily.
but the mind and heart to make it reality is not in our control;
we can't force you down thrice a week for yoga just so you'll achieve your goals!
it's all in your heart and mind.
whether you feel that the little time away from 'your life' is worth it.

we used to see the similar value,
but now, i'm honestly losing it.
like investing both time and money but seeing no results.
we'd say: "so many years doing it and still no results?"
stupid people would continue without any evaluations.
i may not be smart, but i ain't stupid either.
even something supposedly so genuine and treasured can't buy honesty.
faith only managed to buy a little more time.

i fully see why you understand my perception on it,
but don't necessarily agree with me one bit.
simply because you see the full picture,
but all i received was an incompletely painted art piece.
you understand me well enough to predict my response.
so you conveniently decided to hide the jigsaw pieces.
but did it ever occur to you that my figuring it out on my own could bring more hurt?
the emotions now are even more complex than before.

if you actually bothered to give it a shot,
either sweet-talk or aggression would be able to help you close me.
but if there isn't a value to start off with in the first place,
or the value i see in it decreases with time,
it'll only be a matter of time before i'll be glad my commitment is over.
or i'll just request a transfer or desperate termination.

i'll only come back wanting to renew if i actually see results as promised.
and i'll only upgrade if i feel it could be much better.

but now?
it seems like all the memories and sacrifices;
all the laughter and tears, hopes and fears we'll only have as memories.
because the value of it just doesn't weigh enough to request for 5 mins, let alone 15.
maybe you still haven't seen the value of it all.
and because you call on the masters only when you see an upcoming DnD.
but if not, they can seriously fuck off.
but maybe on a second thought,
you actually do see the value of it all,
only you've been fucking taking it all for granted because they're easy preys.

but watch it,
the rubber band will snap eventually.
try stretching it more.


it's late,
my thoughts aren't flowing too well.
that's the best i can manage.
it's not supposed to make sense to randoms.
HUH?

Though we've barely known each other for a month, and have over-buddied for barely two weeks, it's still been super great knowing you!!! Going to work together in the morning (if i'm not late), late night dinners and running after the last trains to get back home! All the long intercoms with major discussions, and dinners aiming at a certain conclusion! And you, constantly trying to get me to close BIG! So what if we over-buddy? SO LONG AS WE MAKE MONEY!!! (: See you at work tmr (if you see this today or ever) and we'll hit our NMS goal this month!!! And come end feb, there'll only be one thing right for us to do (:


Slightly more than half day work yesterday,
then shopping with Sum for Melvin's birthday present! HAHA!
and helping Sum's friend Eugene with some Prudential survey.
Haha it was pretty funny and all the loopholes were exposed!
Haha he's a Financial Consultant, and both Sum and i are Membership Consultants.
Basically, we're all closers.
And so i learnt, it's damn challenging trying to close a closer. LIKE REALLY!

And dinner at Dempsy, followed by drinks at Giraffe!
I'm gonna miss Leea so much!!
and it was all great fun!!!
hahahha the boys are DAMN funny!!!
couldn't stop laughing the whole time despite feeling so LOMBA!
Leea laughed so bad she teared and almost had her mascara smudged!
and Melvin did the one SUPER-WOW thing!!!
and all i can say is: Melvin is one SUPER-CLOSER! (:

WORK IS GETTING BETTER,
other than the fact that Siva won't approve leave tmr for Melvin's birthday dinner.
and that seriously sucks to the ultimate max!

Melvin managed to close two terms and Sum managed two dues!!!
so we're looking at the next Adrian and Gordon!!! (:


AND SO WHAT IF YOU THINK I HAVE A BAD ATTITUDE?
basically, i don't give two hoots about what you think of me,
because at the end of the day,
my NMS is uncountable times of yours, simply because yours is still 0.

on another note,
i know i promised i'll get over it. but i'm sorry, i really tried, and i can't.
the slightest thought of it still makes my blood boil.
i treated you like a friend, and this is what i got back in return.
all i can say now is: don't ever count on me to save your ass.
please, continue daydreaming.
BE MY GUEST.

life is not about all the ups and downs;
it's more about the people around you.

friends who you've barely known for a month,
but have stuck it through with you this month days in and out,
and will continue to do so for month in future.

Winners make money, losers OVER-BUDDY!!! (:

little pop-by visit from jer and colin at work yesterday!!!
who very kindly provided us with 150 BRs,
getting us all excited,
giving them more and more of BR sheets. HAHA!
so Melvin's, Sum's and my BR quotas for the day were met!

slacked the day through feeling really super tired.
one pathetic show which failed to be a sale even after Gordon's TO.
but it's alright, haha i was far damn too tired and lethargic to actually bother.
i think i went a little too pushy with this guy,
probably concentrating on the wrong concerns.
OH WELLS, IT'S ALL ABOUT A LEARNING PROCESS.
SO I SHALL CHILL, RELAX AND TAKE IT EASY!!! (:

dinner after work with Melvin and Sum,
then heading to Jason's pub for drinks after to celebrate Serene's birthday (:
had a really good time even thou the music was really quite old.
debates with Melvin and Gordon kept me feeling higher and more energetic,
with desperate attempts to close them instead of letting them close me.
Melvin's damn good man, it's tiring trying to close him! tiring even to TRY.
Gordon's little prep talk was really inspirational, like really!
and Melvin's with a MAYBE now!!! (:
seriously, Gordon's the only veteran around i'm really comfortable with.
and he's almost the only respectable, helpful, kind, and not selling fishes.
and Rui's very entertaining magic tricks which really leave you cursing and swearing.
hahahaha he should really quit true yoga and start true magic.

amazing (as always!) bestie talk into the wee hours of the morning (:
whining, complaining and cursing at all the rubbish going on in our lives,
serious talk over the various issues affecting us,
making stupid silly jokes and laughing over all the silly nonsense traditions of ours.
his laziness to which i have no comments, i almost wanted to slap him. HAHA!
ended off feeling SO tired i could feel my mind drifting off each time i closed my eyes.
nothing surprising since i had THREE debates in ONE night.
that's really killer considering the quick-wittedness of them three.



and i've got an appointment with Sum tmr morning for serious yoga. HAHA!!!

WORK IS SERIOUSLY GETTING BETTER!!! (:

and that's partly cos i'm losing seriousness at work!!! HAHA!
it's pretty interesting how time goes by at work.
yeah sure, appointments are made,
PRESENTATIONS LEADING TO SALES, WOOOHOOO!!!!
the phone is a very interesting tool of technology, seriously!
well, to be honest, i've never could really live without the phone.
time at work;
i spend by having training, making appointments,
doing presentations and closing sales! (:(:(:
and definitely,
on the intercom with Serene discussing if i'm lunching in/out and deciding lunch,
or Melvin/Sum discussing the lunch out menu and talking rubbish,
or eveasdropping on Dave's conversation sweet-talking his 'friends',
or out slacking with Melvin, Sum, Leea and Klive on the pretext of collecting BRs,
or blatantly slacking in the office doing what Marc calls CFs (cluster fuck).
and definitely not forgetting the little surprise calls to friends!!!
and along comes our list of little fun things we used to do together!!! (:

work sucks only cos i've got some really NICE colleagues.
names shall not be mentioned here,
but the few i've confided in will definitely know their names by heart HAHA!
a few ups and downs here and there, but hey! which job doesn't??
I told Melvin today that "Life is full of ups and downs",
but he corrected me with "NO, Life is about the people around you!",
which made sense there and then,
me being so super mad with *** after my note.

Seriously, work would seriously suck without Melvin, Sum, Klive, Leea and Gordon.
It was MAJOR thanks to Leea that i managed to seal the Black Card!! (:
It was HER appointment!!! (: Presos are fun, Setting up isn't.

This time around,
coming back from Hong Kong,
making little discoveries here and there,
and with the little incident at work yesterday which shall not be mentioned here,
and what Klive mentioned to me regarding it,
it's such a wonder how shamelessly competitve even FRIENDS can get around you.
and i really mean SHAMELESSLY competitive.

that said,
even thou you knew i wouldn't condone it one bit,
and understood the situation perfectly well,
i'm still really glad to have known about it from you,
having gone through the entire process of me finding out about it, getting all pissed off and disgusted, unnecessary complaining and explaining it to you to attempting to get over it together.
thank God you understood,
and that's why we'll always be on each other's side.


Hong Kong was GREAT!
i'll upload photos another time,
work tmr, with only 2 pathetic appointments.
good luck to me.

BYE SINGAPORE!
SEE YOU AGAIN IN 10 DAYS.

i'm excited.
i've kicked you.
test time!

HELLO HONGKONG! (:
