Victim of a Cereal Killer

It was raining on this not-so-beautiful Sunday morning. Since I had paid 100 bloody Ringgit, I made myself wake up to attend the NDO.
.
So where is NDO held? BTH - Berjaya Times Hotel.
.
I bet you are wondering what the h*ell does NDO means. I had that question too, when I signed up for it on on Thursday. So I asked this Aylex guy and Sky. This stupid sonofabitch and Sky had the audacity to tell me, “I don’t know.”
Now, you’ve been to this NDO thing 5 or 6 times and you don’t know what NDO stands for?! And you want me to give you 2500 Ringgit so that I can tell other people ‘I-don’t-know’ when they ask me what is NDO or OPP or MOD?!
.
The above example is the lousiest sales person(s) on earth. He wouldn’t last 2 minutes in Citibank as salesman. Even the stupidest salesman knows not to use acronyms or lingo (that you use with your colleagues) to a client. You make me, the client/customer, feel stupid. You make me feel left out. And if you don’t know what it stands for, you’re wasting my time listening to you who don’t know your own company.
.
Back to the New Distributors’ Orientation.
There were about 1200 people attending NDO. One thing I couldn’t believe is that the speakers liked to remind us that they are here (in BTH), volunteering their Sundays for us. Let us do some math, shall we? 100 Ringgit per person x 1200. That’s 120,000 Ringgit. The ballroom and lunch would cost about 60,000. That means the organisers make a profit of 60,000 Ringgit. Not bad for volunteering every month for NDO, huh?!
.
There were 4 sessions altogether. Each session approximately one and a half hours. So all these people who had made tonnes of money from other businesses gave talks about how they made even more money by joining the MLM world. Basically, it’s a 8 hour brainwash session. You go in, you come out brainwashed with nothing but greed for money. Despite my deep repulsion against all things MLM, I was also a little convinced… I mean “brainwashed” when I came out. It took me a week or so to get over it.
.
Session 1, the speaker talked about what is MLM, comparing it to a conventional product chain. Normal merchandise goes through the factory –> distributor –> shop –> consumer. But for MLM it’s factory –> distributor consumer. Therefore, it is cheaper than normal merchandise. That’s what he said.
We all know this is bullcrap! There are so many up-line, down-line, left-line and right-line that takes a piece of the earnings until the price of the product has to be inflated to a f*cking huge amount to support all those crap-lines. The products are so over-priced that they cannot be justified. Remember the 85,000 Ringgit catalytic burner?
.
There were a few things he said that I just can’t tahan and have to refute it here.
“Oil price is increasing, Don’t you want to be in the oil business too? The essential oil business lah.”
WTF?! Eh uncle, your mom give birth to you with no brain izzit?! What has petrol price increase got to do with essential oil?!

“Benefit of lampe berger: ioniser, ozoniser, aroma therapy, adds oxygen (O2) to the air…”
Now, lampe berger is mainly a piece of catalytic burner (which is made of clay). [1] It can’t ionise the air because there’s no electric involved. [2] It can’t ozonise because it takes sunlight and lots of energy to create ozone gas (O3), and even more energy to maintain the ozone gas structure. Also, ozone is poisonous (to bacteria and human). If your bloody lampe can generate lots of ozone, it would be banned. [3] Only trees adds O2 to the air. Weren’t you listening in your Standard 5 science class?
.
Session 2, succeeding in the business. It was a waste of time, this session. It’s showing a list of cliches of how to succeed. Example, Set your goals, be genuine and sincere, work hard, understand and accept network marketing, be disciplined, blah…blah…blah…
.
Oh, this little incident happened. The speaker, Mervyn Lim mentioned something about FBI and CIA (Federal Bureau of Investigation & Central Intelligence Agency - of USA). So the idiot next-next to me asked Aylex what is FBI. He answered that FBI is the police force for the whole world while CIA is the police force in charge of Asia. Now start laughing your @$$ out!
.
Session 3, your financial future. It was all about the pyramid scheme of DCHL and how it looks like. Nothing much.
.
Session 4, closing. This irritating old man went up the stage and gave a very long rhetoric of why we must love money why we must join DCHL. He was loud and boastful. Utterly disgusting. I almost stormed out of the room because I just can’t tahan that fella.
.
Session 4.5, overall closing. The emcee (Marcus) turned off the lights and asked everyone to close their eyes. Then he went on the do those kind of emotional think-of-your-mom-think-of-your-dad-think-of-what-you-can-do kind of stuff that I am so sick off. Marcus, please F*ck off! I’m not into this kind of horse shit.
.
After 8 hours of brainwashing, I came out wanting to go home. But it seems that this Aylex guy had bought a 20 Ringgit ticket on behalf of me to a gathering to meet chief conman — Steven Yeam the next day. I had told him I have my hesitation in attending the gathering. Yet he bought the tickets anyway. I’m going to bloody-h*ll fire his arse the next time I see him.
.
Moral of the story,
.
The whole company is a scam. You may think you’ll make lots of money if you join the company. The fact is that you would spend more, and chief conman earning buckets out of you. Everytime you cheat a jackass, you’ll have to accompany that jackass to NDO, OPP, MOD, the Steven Yeam Show and what not.
.
So where does all these money go to? To Steven Yeam’s pocket obviously.
.
Also, when you buy a product (such as the RM85000 burner), he takes a cut of the earning as the top of the pyramid. Since he also owns the whole company, he also earns from the profit of selling you the product through the company.
.
There’s another problem with the system. How do you pay income tax? Something you didn’t think about, eh?!
You don’t have to pay taxes? You are in for helluva trouble in a few years time.
.
Yours Sincerely,
the CRapologist.

P.S. I hope those who are in MLM, especially DCHL members somehow stumble upon this article and read it. And and damn h*ll hope they get furious and make a bloody fuss out of it. DCHL and MLM companies can go FUCK themselves burn in the eternal flames of HELL!

When the war broke out during the summer of 1914, millions of men were taken by surprise and caught up in the ensuing maelstrom. And then Christmas arrived, with its snow and its stream of gifts from back home and from the army brass. But the surprise wasn’t to be found in the generous parcels that littered the trenches.

On this particular evening, a major event was to have a lasting effect on the destiny of four characters: a Scottish minister, a French lieutenant, a German tenor, and a Danish soprano. These stars of the era find themselves at the heart of an unprecedented fraternizing between soldiers from the German, French and British trenches. All will put down their guns and leave their trenches behind as they go to meet the enemy, shake his hand and exchange cigarettes or chocolates, and wish him Merry Christmas.

.

Joyuex Noel = Merry Christmas (French)

.

It’s the name of a movie I watched this
afternoon. It’s the GSC French Film Festival!

Yes, it’s a French movie. No, I don’t
understand French (of course, I can always read the subtitles).

.
The whole movie was in three languages, in a little English (with heavy Scottish accent), a bit German and mainly in French.
.

.

It was WW1. And it’s Christmas Eve. The
Scotsmen started celebrating in their trenches (lubang kat tanah). Then one
German started singing opera and walked out of his trench to fraternised
(berkawan). Then the French came out with their wines and champagnes. And they
had a good time.

.

On Christmas day, they buried the dead,
played football, poker and drank wine. All these in the middle of a war! It
tells you that these people are fighting somebody else’s war.

.

This is one of the few movies that can
actually make me shed a tear or two.

.

On the whole, the movie was excellent.
There were good character developments, the actors are really good (the actors
obvoiusly didn’t sing, but they do look the part), the pace of the story was
just right, most of all it has the tear factor.

.

And the song were good too. I especially
loved the Scottish song, I’m Dreaming of Home.

.

Oh…oh… There was also Diane Kruger. You
know queen that cause all the war in the movie Troy? But there was
this sex scene with the lead actor that was censored! The GSC employee simply
use a piece of paper to block the projector during that scene. Stupid fella!

. 

All in all, i’ll give it a 10 out of 10. Simply
because of the tear factor and the meaningful story. And it’s in the ‘Yuan Wu
Favourite Movies’ list.

HLA = Hong Leong Assurance
What’s it got to do with my blog, you say?
.
Yesterday, I was sort of conned to yamcha with this new found friend from the stupid match making camp i blogged about a while ago. While yamcha-ing in KLCC, he started to intro to me about working while studying. Then he talked about the introducing me to the business. No wonder this f*cking idiot kept asking me out! He even gave me a ten day VIP pass to California Fitness. I gave this guy a chance to yamcha because I wanted to see if he really wanted to friend-friend with me.
.
So after the yamcha, I ’stupidly’ followed him the this building — HLA Building. Anyone who has heard about DCHL/Lampe Berger/Estebel would know what the h*ll this is all about. I’ve written a long entry about these stupid MLM before and I’m going to write about them again. This time with even more vehement repulsion.
.
So there I was in this kononnya lavish office in HLA with every idiot wearing the badge SYN. And he took me around the office, trying to impress me with the lavishness of the office, how canggih-manggih is their product.
.
Let me tell you, boy, these stupid aromatic burners are nothing more than a high tech candles. Then there’s one costing RM85000 and you told me it’s made of rail road steel and crystal. What the h*ll do I look like, a f*cking imbecile to you? It was very obvious it is made of wood and glass!
.
And I’m not impressed by the lousy-mousy office, okay?! Please stop asking me what do I think of your office. It may be lavish for you who come from kampung, but I’ve worked inside Istana Negara, 5-star hotels and looked inside canggih-manggih offices (Great Eastern, L’oreal…). Until I say “Wah!”, I’m far from impressed.
.
Next was the business preview, by this chief idiot Jeffrey Chong. From start to finish, it’s just a brag show. Just like a penglipur lara telling everyone how exciting his stories are.
.
What more, this Jeff’s arguments are unbelievably anti-logic. Jeff said, if you don’t have enough money to spend, earn more lah.

WTF?! If you don’t have the money to spend, DON’T SPEND LAH! You should learn how to save before you spend. You allocate your budget according to how much you have, not how much you spend. If you don’t have a lot of money, don’t go shopping every week, don’t go clubbing all the time, take the bus/LRT, read a good book, take a second job… and don’t swipe the freaking plastic card!
.
Jeff also said, you need to use your credit card. And should pay back after the interest free period so the banks can charge you interest. Now, who the f*cking h*ll is so stupid as to let card companies charge interest while you can pay back before that?! You tell me…WHO? Only DCHL members with their devil f*cked brains do that.
.
And to add another spin, Jeff said that our nation’s economy stops growing if credit card companies can’t charge us interest from credit card.
WITFDH?! This is the stuuuuupidest, most ridiculous argument I’ve heard. He is thinking with his testicles and talking with his ass. Our country’s economy depends on real business that provides credible products and services, not idiots who swipe plastic cards and don’t pay back their debts.
.
After the preview, the psycho session began. And surprise-surprise… I met Ting, one ex-AIESEC president of UM. The guy who told 200 people not to join MLM on a stage is now part of the gang. I had wanted to taruh them a bit, tell them off about this you-cheat-me-I-cheat-other-people scheme of theirs. But I decided that I don’t want to get into an argument with them… yet.
.
.
Another thing with the DCHL scheme is that it plays with numbers. It’s confusing and it keeps converting between Ringgit with its point value. It uses percentage to calculate this and that and add all up all in the sudden. So theoretically, you can take 110 even if the company earns 100. There is absolutely no way you could know how much the company is earning and paying on top. I don’t think even any of it’s members know how to calculate the exact number. They just vomit it out to show me as others had showed them, just like back to school — memorise and vomit back out.
.
Oh BTW, i’ve agreed to join this day long seminar worth 100 Ringgit in Times Square Hotel this Sunday. Cost me a f*cking hundred bucks just to satisfy my curiosity how a money cheater makes millions. So watch out next week for the Part 2 of the blog.
.
Oh, and to Aylex and Sky or whatever frigging way your names are spelt. By nodding, I don’t necesserily agree with you. When you talk, I listened. So when I talked, you refused to listen and kept repeating a phrase like a broken recorder to shut me out. I’d definitely like to ‘talk’ to you again.
.
Yours Sincerely,
the MArquis.
