Some Things are Deceiving.
Ehleena's is an interesting place to visit. She shares her thoughts, bickers, love, fearless of judgments. That's the way it is when it comes to blogging. Many may use this medium to validate things they may have done that's not so right through masking with kind, bombastic words only to fish for compliments??

My job enables me to be able to meet all kinds of IT and creative industry people. Recently, at a Buka Puasa event we held for our clients, I did my usual thing, making my rounds entertaining people while they eat.
Towards Isya' prayers, many left the scene. So I get to chat longer with each individual who decided to stick around much longer. One of which was a pleasant one for that moment... he's a Malay guy in his late 30's I think, who shared how he made his way to where he is now as a Consultant to a public listed IT company.
He was generous enough to share not just his successes but also his falls, he once had to close down his wholly owned company. He looked really prim and calm. I'm not judging him like a spinster evaluating a prospect, I'm just impressed that there is someone my race who can actually hold a decent conversation.
Before he left, we were distributing the left over food for everyone to bring back. He said, "Ah, good! Easier for me as no one cooks. Just pack anything for me and my two children." I didn't want to ask further. But my colleague juuust have to lift the stone, "Your wife is not at home?" And he said, "No, I'm the only parent."
Then, I started to receive a couple of over friendly SMS. I don't have any problems tackling this kind of advances. They'd usually die off or get stale out.
Then came the moment when he asked, "I'd like to ask about your company's training rate."
"Ah! Finally, something professional!" I thought. So I called him and he really got a genuine enquiry. When the pricing was delivered, he said "I don't want to do any paper work. I'll get my customer to issue you a Purchase Order, you just provide me a cheque on what's due for me. I'll provide you a separate company name."
I can't say this is another typical of people of my race who likes to make money out of doing nothing. How much value add can one put on top of trying to enrol your customers for a specialised course?
Gosh, it is that simple for someone to just manoeuvre on top of you just because he had invested somepenis pennies on desperate for attention SMSs???

Everytime we get pass the traffic police, I mean the full fledge traffic police who directs the traffic, why do we suddenly panic and try to buckle up the safety belt?
The traffic police who's standing on the road directing traffic is supposed to make sure that the automobiles on the road move smoothly. Not stop one car with someone without the safety belt harnessed and start to pull out a saman and whilst, leave the traffic haywire again!!??!!
It's amusing how we can deceive ourselves when we don't want others to do it to us.

Yeah, know them better, but to be more precise, know ourselves better, and don't underestimate who we're trying to deceive.
Might as well not do it? Yeah, of course. Might as well not.

Finding someone who's true to themselves is like finding a gem greater than diamonds, greater than oil, greater than gold.

Holier than thou. :P
Have a good weekend!
