Long Far International

Dear Blog,

Yesterday, my secondary school classmate asked me about Long Far International. He saw my MSN nick a few weeks ago and he asked me because I will give him my honest opinion about Long Far International. So far, I did not have a very good impression of the company and the way they do things. Personally, I found nothing special about Long Far International eg. products, business plan (this one cannot make it) and others.

The way they presented their business is atrocious. They will not tell you that your commission will be based in Malaysian Ringgit in the first place. For starters, there is a big difference Malaysian Ringgit and Singapore Dollars.

The way they criticised Sunshine Empire is not a good technique of saying other company. Different CEO does business in a different manner. Long Far International do not need to keep on harping on how Sunshine Empire does business. At least in term of monetary terms, Sunshine Empire does it better than them.

At least they got their just deserts when Mentalk Candy was banned by Health Sciences Authority and it created a lot of media coverage like news on television and newspaper. Hope that more of their products will be banned.

That's all about Long Far International. Till then blog :)

My thoughts on friendship

Dear Blog,

Personally, I feel that friendship is ought to take seriously as no man is an island. No one can survive on their own in the first place. All of us do need friends to support and encourage us in whatever we do in life.

I am thankful and feel blessed that I got a lot of good friends around me. Good people who are called friends instead of acquintances. Friends who can rely on with your life and they will never fail you in any instances. Those friends you can count on them. Friendship cannot described in words because it is way beyond explanation. You can feel it if someone is sincere about friendship.

Not all friends are good in the first place. Some of them just pretended to be your friend just to take advantage of you or make use of you and discard you when they fully make use of you and you are of no use to them. But I just heck care about those people because their motives can be seen as you get to know them better.

That's all about it. See you next week blog :)

My thoughts on relationship

Dear Blog,

Relationships should be of mutual trust and understandings between a couple. There should not be a mistrust between a couple. If not, the couple will break-up eventually. Sadly, this happened to my last relationship.

I put in all my efforts in my last relationship with Serene. I even gave in to her demands and lowered my pride for her. Everything I did is for our relationship as I regarded her as my future wife. My weekends are reserved just for her and I even went to church together with her.

I found out that she had been doing a lot of things behind my back eg. like asking other guys to be her boyfriends so that she can lure them to her multi-level marketing business.

At first, I thought nothing had happened but when I saw her SMS from other guys, they addressed her as 'Dear' or 'Baobei'. I was pretty open with those words but whenever they asked her to meet her, she instantly agreed to them although she was with me at that time. I found it strange and demanded the truth from her. She said that she is doing this for purely business sense. But I told her never to play with someone's feelings over business. She did not heed my advice.

She is willing to do anything for money and I do not want my girlfriend or even my wife in the future to do anything for money. Money is something in life. We all need money to survive but there is no way that I can tolerate if my wife is willing to do anything for money. That will make her a cheapskate at the end of the day.

Lesson learnt - Know someone first before you really commit into a relationship.

That is all for this entry. Till we meet again blog :P

My thoughts on Multi-Level Marketing

Dear Blog,

Multi-Level Marketing or rather MLM for short is a great phenomenom. They make full use of leveraging to earn money and it is a great business to be inside in the first place. However, the downside is it is a human business and you need humans to be inside in order for your business to grow. They will show you their business plan and will never tell you on how it is going to work or never even paint a bigger picture to their prospects.

However, on the downside, it will make you more aggressive to get your friends or relatives into the business. Thus, it will destroy the relationships with friends or even relatives. Your friends and relatives will start avoiding you and spreading bad words about you doing multi-level marketing.

You will need to buy the products at distributor price and sell it off the retail price. Best part is, they claim that it is cheaper than outside market products. After doing market research, I found out that their products are way inferior than outside market products and can be more expensive in contrast to what they claimed.

That is the main reason why I never did multi-level marketing in the end after weighing the pros and cons about the business.

That's all about the entry. See you next time blog :)

First entry on this blog

Dear Blog,

Nowadays, I kept reading my friends' blogs and felt that I should re-start a blog again.

I got on with life after the break-up with Serene. The relationship was wrong in the first place. She used me as a pawn to get my friends into her multi-level marketing business. It is human business in the first place and I do not pretty like the idea in the first place although it is a lucrative business. Money is not everything in life yeah?

I went to visit my aunt last Sunday. It was a fruitful meet-up as I had not visited my aunt for the past three months. Felt guilty about it though. Told her about the break-up and she said that nowadays girls are very materialistic. They kept asking for the sky. Somehow, I totally agreed as Serene demanded that I should get a car just to send her back home after her late night appointment.

My aunt also advised me to see the world if I got the money. I should heed her advice.

I feel very blessed that I got a lot of friends supporting and encouraging me at the end of the day. Without them, I will not survive mentally and emotionally. Thank you for all my friends who has been with me through thick and thin like Karen, Theresa and Xinchun. Those who I called true friends. Friends forever.

My priorities now is to do well in my career and restart my studies part-time again. I made a mistake by stopping my education so that I will have enough money to marry Serene in 2010. That was stupid and naive thinking of mine.

Will write more in my next entry. Till we meet again :)
