Direct sale is everywhere

Mum called me this noon, saying that my brother is planning to do some business on his own. He asked RM2000 from mum. Well, I really do not know that what kind of business he can do with RM2000+. I suspect he want to join direct sales. And by the amount of money he requested, I think that it may be LB.

Then I called him and asked about this. At first he refused to tell me the truth. Then I just pretended to know nothing and deliberately told him something that I know and heard about LB. Finally he told me the truth. Well, I am just too clever. His friend is encouraging him to join the business venture of LB. ( Sigh... I just knew it... )

My brother is the kind of people who will trust person easily. He has been to the LB office twice. I am sure that he has been brainwashed. Their tactic is "It is easy to mke money. What you have to do is bring in 10 person to join us." and most popular phrase is "I am not forcing you to buy anything. I am just sharing with you a great oppurtunity to make money!"

He was really surprised hearing me saying those phrases. I am sure that he had heard that from the LB people. Anyway, I did tell him to reconsider about it as I have really heard a lot of bad things about this LB. He himself actually does not really know what is the products of LB. Well, there are a lot of ways to make money. But I really do not encourage him to join this.

I am sure that his friend only tells him of the good things of joining this venture and saying that it is very, very easy to make money. After listening to some truth and scenarios that I told him, lastly, I am able to pursuade him to reconsider about this. He said that he will reject his friend, and I do hope so.

The agent called me this evening for a job vacancy in Taman SEA. Well, it is that SS23 which cannot be reached by bus. ( How come all the job offers are in SS23? ) Sigh... I have nothing to do but just to reject the job. Somemore that is a job of telemarketer, which means that I will need to call people and introducing products to them. I do not really like such job.

Went to have dinner at the very famous SS2 Murni with Diana and YenLee. We ordered cheese naan, chicken special (delicious murtabak with chicken, sausage, cheese + egg fillings and mayonaise topping), claypot lou-she-fun, and nasi lemak biasa. That is a fabulous meal~~~ Had a walk at pasar malam after that. I bought a cup of shake-shake ice (direct translation from the name of 摇摇冰 ). That is a delicious dessert which I like very much. I still remember that there is a stall selling this ice just opposite of the old bus station in Kluang. But since the bus station moves to this current place, everything has changed. That boss has retired and I could not anymore 摇摇冰 in Kluang =( I also bought some rose bud tea. Well, I think that making tea using rose buds should be quite nice.
