MLM: HLA - part 1

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.
