The Young & Restless

Yeah, haven’t been blogging for a while, excuse me. Was rather tired these few days. Now that I’ve ended my temp job, I can finally sit down and blog in peace LOL.

Last Friday, I lost RM400 gullibly to 2 salesperson. I have no idea what was I thinking seriously at that time when they tempted me with those attractive prizes (They have tickets to fly to Korea which my mum wanted it). So regretted it, I know better than this to trust those things, and yet here I am falling directly into their booby trap.

Here’s the scenario; first this gal salesperson approached me, telling me that if I scratch the ticket in her hands and if there’s something under, I am entitled to win something. So I scratched, and turned out there is indeed something under. She then called her partner in, that I won something.. this and that, which I couldn’t make out very clear. 

Her partner arrived, started explaining what I’m about to win next if I scratched again and if there’s something under it as well. I scratched and there were numbers behind them, which matches to the prize I’ve won; a hand massager. Hey, but that’s not it. Nothing comes free in this world. You don’t just got approached by some unknown, scratch something and win something for free man. The prize is bounded in a way that it comes with a vaccuum cleaner which costs (RM1999! Honestly why didn’t I question them on how can a vaccuum cleaner be that expensive!!). The condition is, I have to find them 2 customers to purchase their product in order to get the vaccuum cleaner completely free withing 2 years. If I don’t, I’d have to pay for the exact amount.

I told them, I don’t know if anybody is willing to buy a vaccuum cleaner within 2 days and this is what they said, they are willing to settle the customers for me in 10 days time. The condition is; I pay them RM400 as deposit. I didn’t bring that much cash with me, so they asked if I could withdraw money somewhere nearby and I told them there is a bank nearby. I was really reluctant at first seriously, but I just don’t understand in the end why I still gave in. Am really frustrated till today. When I got home, I got totally screwed by my parents.

Well, all I can do is take it as a real good lesson to me, that I shouldn’t be so naive and gullible with all these sales gimmick. Sigh.

Had dinner with Ka Ken, Kanesh and his brother, Mano and Siva at Lotus in State later that day but wasn’t paying much attention to the conversation at all. Sigh.
