Yesterday Once More...

It's yesterday once more with my hengtai at the Malacca beach (Mutiara, I think). We filled the whole of our conversation with career talk; future undertakings, entrepreneurship etc... It was then that I was brought back to the nostalgic years in one of my former company. The 3months anniversary is approaching - I've been gainfully unemployed, as claimed. To me perhaps, it's another 9months (or maybe much sooner) of countdown to a Celebration Party, or maybe ......the next Tsunami?! Only God knows. Many asked; Why have you left your company?....what happened? (well, I used to have kinds of praises for them) ...not a single being is left when you quit and not even a soul to answer the telephone?? I never gave anyone a good answer anyway. I'd love to share with my hengtai, but just couldn't. It just stopped there. Maybe I do not even know where to start and how to share with you this sophisticated uncalled-for politically contaminated "legendary tale".

Sipping our coffee by the beach, I asked him; How would you sell Plastic Chair to this mamak when they are using this ever comfortable, robust steel-made, beautifully crafted chair? Perhaps we could sell the non-rust element??.... or maybe the ultra hard plastic material?.... the beautiful combinations of colours?? The uneducated Pakcik would have expected that at least. Just tell him that he needs a plastic chair due to bla bla bla..... no matter how fragile or ugly it may be. Create the needs and not wants. We are not representing United Colours Of Beneton!!

I told him it is in this "Institute" that I grow from scratch. It was here that I was nurtured and expose to the so called Business World, where through it's process "learnt" the word CORPORATE. It's here that I had the opportunity to sat my feet on a Boeing 747 the very first time for overseas business assignments. From the worst monkey job to the highest management meetings - That's where and how I learn to grow.
