Business with Africa.

Guys, beware of any companies in Africa, Nigeria. These are the top scam countries and they try to exploit people online. Usual method is that they will mention that there is an excess million dollars of funds from deceased family who died in an accident with links and pictures. DO NOT TRUST THEM NO MATTER HOW GOOD IT SEEMS. Here's how i reply them

Good day,

My name is Eddie Febbraio. I want to find out how it would work to import products to South Africa?

Could you forward me a pricelist of your products?

Kind regards,
Eddie Febbraio

Hi Eddie,

Im sorry but we dont do business with Africa.

Regards,
Elson Siah

Are you serious?!

Why not?!

Do not reply anymore.

Uncertainty.

I received a phone call from one of my client, a doctor. He got his staff to enquire on price of 100boxes of syringes for the Myanmar relief. To help out in this charity to fund the medical supplies to aid the poor and badly struck Myanmar, I decided to sell at loss as a contribution to the Myanmar relief. Anyone else who wish to do so may write in their interest to do so.

Let the past be history, cherish the present as a gift and move on to the future.

Let him who would enjoy a good future, waste none of his present.

Way to light or darkness?

A positive mindset is good to weather through the storms on bad days. As the world sets their negative thoughts and words to you. It is up to an individual to take it or not. Because Buddha ever said:

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, who said it, no matter if i said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.

So is the cup half filled or half empty? A positive mind would say half filled. As the pool of wealth is already filled with lots of people seeking opportunities. Within darkness shall the wise one seek the path to light and the path to light sometimes filled with unknown darkness.

I've been on this train of uncertainty. The future seems bright with the positive mind. And i've lost count of the days i've been on this train. Im starting to feel tired. Going at full speed, i worked and hoped that the train will arrive at its final destination of success. But as i went at full speed, the rail seem darker and darker into the tunnel. During the first few years in the tunnel, my positive mindset and spirit glowed within the train as it advances. Slowly, i started to wonder if the rail was the right track to take. The point of no return has long exceeded. Should i continue forward? Or should i just slow down? Im uncertain of what lies ahead for i see only darkness and negative thoughts start to arise. I started thinking if i would get out of the dark tunnel and see the light shining bright upon my determined eyes. Im not hoping it to be fast, but a little light on the way would be fine. Or am i heading to nowhere, where i fall eventually at the dead end? I will continue to strive and face the truth bravely even if its a dead end, at least i know i tried. The train moves on.

There is a particular sector of the train known as 1225. This number simply means Dec 25th. It is the coldest day of the year. A day to embrace your loved one. I was looking for her. The warm chocolate she made. But when i went back searching for truth, i couldnt see her. I started to wonder if she really loved me. It seemed as though it was a secret no one would ever know.

Quote:
Uncertainty is the refuge of hope.

and

Knowledge is an unending adventure at the edge of uncertainty.

Therefore,

Uncertainty and expectation are the joys of life. Security is an insipid thing.

Tough yet relaxing day.

Woke up early in the morning feeling good and energetic. This week must not be wasted, and like i said. We should end our day feeling that we have accomplished/achieved/done something good for the future, rather than ending the day feeling lousy on not doing anything and wasting time.

So. I got my sales kit ready and i headed to geylang area for sales visit. The weather was hot, china girls was hot, ops. Not really, they make me feel that the trip there was scary and every hotel i went, possibility of 7/10 were a queue to check into the hotel. Men who're in their 40s and some girls with thick make up. Dressed in formal and tie, holding a book (it was to note down important issues during sales meeting). The old man gave me a weird stare as though i were some inspector or that sort. Being to so many places in Singapore, having run the field. Geylang area really runs chill down my spine. Perhaps because of the CHINA SCARE. I will update on the CHINA trip story soon.

Then, i went to Genenieve's grandmother's memorial hall somewhere along a quiet road at the end of geylang lorong 4. The whole place has changed, i couldnt find her altar. So i hope she knows that shes being missed too!

I had no viewing appointments. Guess im done with it for this month. Since my MISAKI syringes has been selling quite well (3new customers called, bedok, tampines, hougang). Mike who lives in Bedok Reservoir take note! Blk 740 Dr. Heng is my client, next time before you get an injection remember the products belongs to ETG INTERNATIONAL! haha. I thought i've hit my targetted salary this month and i should relax a little. Afterall, whats the joy in making money when one does not enjoy it?

So, i met alex at AMK hub for movie. I guess the feeling's all different. Used to go to AMK Hub with a troubled mind. Today, im feeling at ease. No stress, no pressure. Pure fun at the daytona. And im relatively in good mood after SHE did text again from AUS. After the movie Shaolin girls, headed home. Parking cost $4.10, $5.00 at the arcade, $6.00 for movie, $3.00 for dessert. Money come money go. ha.
