True Fitness The True Story

First thing first. Sales Consultant over at True Fitness is nothing close to what I did in IKEA. I consult people, they insult me (the exact word would be curse me as in using the F word). My first day wasn't actually a good one. I had to make calls, make calls and make more calls. Making 25 calls is fine, making 65 calls is expectable but making 190 calls is insane! Another requirement was to have a least made 6 appointment for the next day which is tomorrow. Out of that 190 calls I made, only one guy said 'Okay, See you on Saturday.' 1 out of 190 is nothing to be proud of. I end getting this phone tone in my head. Not sure how am I gonna survive another day as Sales Consultant. =(

On the bright side, the co-workers are friendly and cool. One guy in particular could be great example how lucrative this Sales Consultant job could be. His 26 or so. A few inches shorter than me. On his left hand, 3 gold rings. Not your ordinary simple rings. The rings most Indian tauke wears. On his right hand , the same thing. On his neck, two large chains. Gold chains. Driving a BMW 5 series. Pretty tempting. And that is how he comes to works every single day. The common thing in the office is almost everyone uses iPhone and has at least two set of phones. As usual, I felt left out. Not because of the gold rings or iPhones. It's because that how I am. It takes time for me to fit in and I hope I fit in real soon cause the General Manager is kinda PITA.

A Little Changes

Decided to change the font a little since some people (even me) having difficulties reading it. Often end up getting a headache. I hope this is better. =P

Sendai Aftermath

A week ago, came the 9.0 magnitude earthquake that shook Sendai violently for at least six minutes. Not satisfied with the damage done, 30 feet tsunami came along leaving a trail of destruction behind. The entire coastal area of Sendai. Before things can settle, the Japanese faces a new problem, Fukushima nuclear crisis.

Hidrogen gas build up, fuel rod exposure, reactor complex roof being blew up, and a feared nuclear meltdown. These are the current problem among the Japanese people. After nearly 66 years later, the Japanese are facing another nuclear crisis. But with all this natural disaster and nuclear crisis, the Japanese are relatively calm. It's either the radiation has done something to their head or they just being mature (as in discipline and cool). So far there's no looting what so ever. Their practically helping out each other.

I remember when my place was hit by flood in '96 (can't actually remember when was it). When the flood reached the knee level which around 2 feet deep, the looting begun. A nearby Hop-In store (something like 7-11) was broke in and everything from bread to soft drinks were taken. The water level eventually reached 6 feet and resided around a week later. The damage was done both property and moral. The damage didn't stop there. The government was giving out some kind of financial help for those who were effected the worst by the flood (which was practically the whole Sri Muda people excluding those who lived in apartments and flats). But, I assume the guy our government appointed to distribute the funds was more effected than us since almost half of the Sri Muda people didn't get the fund since not everyone knew about it. Pretty pathetic people.

Unlike the Japanese, they helped out each other. Supermarkets cut down half the item price, vendor machine operators started giving out free drinks and food, etc. There were no panic attack after the disaster. The only panic looming now is the fear of the nuclear meltdown.

It's always the disaster that brings out the best of people. Donations and help pour into Japan from all over the world. Prayers held in many countries praying for the safety of those affected by the earthquake and tsunami.

We having some donation centres here too like Google Crisis Response and World Vision Malaysia. If you can't donate, the least you can do is pray for them. It's a small world you know. We all are standing on the same earth and anything can happen anywhere anytime. Karma work its way around. If you're one of those 2012 believer, the end is closer than you know.

Supermoon. Is it just an extra large full moon or some 'super power' full moon?

Supermoon

Tomorrow will be the day of the supermoon. It's a term people use to describe a full moon being very close to Earth. Since the moon will be very close, majority of the people assume that it would have some serious effect on us human and Earth. Catastrophic earthquakes followed by giant tsunamis, or some unexplained series of thunderstorms. Overall, the effects on Earth will have something to do with the climates. As for us humans, the effects are quite extreme in some cases. I've heard people saying that spending too much time under the direct moon light of the supermoon will have disastrous effect of us. No, we would no transform into werewolf though that would be cool. They say it would mess with our mind and all. Couldn't really follow what they were saying since they were adding some so-called 'history' and 'past encounters'. Some people even when to the extent of linking the recent earthquake and tsunami at Japan as an direct or indirect (some people wants to be in the safe side in case someone proofs them wrong) effects of the supermoon. But some guy from the American Space related government agency comes out saying that bullsh*t. It seems the moon was at its furthers position from Earth during the earthquake. Logic, nearer moon has stronger gravity pull than the further moon. Stronger gravity pull means stronger supermoon effect. So, the earthquake in Sendai is coincidence with incoming supermoon. But, if we took a look at the past supermoon, (this I found on some article online) the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami came two weeks before the January 10, 2005 supermoon. Coincidence again? Maybe. But again, during the earthquake, the moon was at its further position. Weird huh? What ever it is, let's see what happens tonight. Hope we don't have werewolves or vampires coming out partying.
If you wanna read bout this supermoon, I found this site saying something bout it. Has some cool facts.

Rethinking

I'm starting to rethink why did I open this blog thingy in the first place. I either couldn't find time to write or couldn't find something to write. Confused. Busy. Lazy. I guess those are the real reason. Anyway, found a new job nearer to home. Not really near to home but it's somewhere I could go back on one bus rather than a couple. Asia Jaya. Tomorrow... wait, later today, be going over for some kind of training. From IKEA to True Fitness. But still the same job. Sales consultant. Well lets see how things go... =)

Snapping Again

After an interview at Midvalley today, thought of snapping some picture to avoid getting bored...

There's no name for this building since its still under construction

The other side of Hilton (the other day I snap the other side)

An empty U64. Not really empty but...

Where the happy hour beverages are made

One second the sky was clear,

Then it started to drizzle,

Followed by thunderstorm,

Heavy rain,

And suddenly, bright blue sky.

Home, not really home but just a few metres from home.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning? Lol

I was playing some random quiz on blogthings.com and came through this quiz by the title, What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

I typed in the name and...

This was what I got...

You Are Seductive and Ruthless

You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are very hyper. You never slow down, even when it's killing you. You're the type of person who can be a workaholic during the day... and still have the energy to party all night. Your energy is definitely a magnet for those around you. People are addicted to your vibe. You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life. You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip. People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out. Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia. Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person. If you wanna try it, here's the link
