These last few days of August really take the cake for excitement . LoL .
June saw MANY of us sluggin' it out and sloggin' for our " fast track " awards and 4 from our Famille hittin' it . Their Travel packs comin' down yesterday Friday28th Aug'09 in their pigeons' holes . For the UNfortunate few who've missed it , GOOD NEWS !!!! =
chances are .... you'll NEVER hit it anymo' .
"Why Why WHYYYYYYYY ?!?!?! " you may ask ? it's 'cause Fast Track is a chance to introduce NEW advisors to the wonderful world of Incentive Trips or letting veteran advisors who've NEVER Qualified for any trips in their careers to experience the Magic . Hence as long as you haven't gotten FastTrack or just missed it ......... by 3 days !!!
Like our Dear Brother Alan !!! ( Shakes head and smiles to self in demonstration of Disbelief )... Then as soon as you hit Quality Club Elite / A & H challenges ... no mo' Fast Track .
August saw many comin close to the 19,000 A&H challenge and hittin it and comin short and RE-hittin it and Comin short again and finally hittin it again for some ... Why Ley ? Can't be helped , check out John's and wing's Blogs for explanation . NOT Our Fault hor .. and just in case those who're readin this say submit Earlier Mah ..... Here's news for you ..... We DID !!! Some as early as July .
Know what's the Wonderful Thing about Life Tho' ? It's the Journey that counts .... Not our Final Destinations . So Smell the flowers and admire the scenery along the way .
Know what're the Differences and Similarities that our individual Career Paths have when compared to Life tho' ?
When we're Gettin there we usually don't have too much time to look around and admire the sights and views .
When we've gotten there is when we spend time to take in all the sights , smells and sounds ...
" what a treat ! " ~ our senses scream .
Get there if you can but don't forget to smell the roses along the way . =)

Welcome Back 10Chin !
First Off , a warm welcome back to our Brother Alan !!!
Time really does fly , doesn't it ? In the Blink of an eye it's August the 18th Already and you're back with the Famille that holds you dear and you hold dearly as well .
We could Really use some help , not just from you as i so callously stated in your Blog but from each and Everyone !
June saw many of us fighting towards Fasttrack and all hitting it .
As it stands , John , Danny , Wing and Lauren have cleared fasttrack and Brother Alan has just missed the dateline by 3 days ... 3 DAYS !!! MAN can you believe that ?? LOL . no worries Bro , as far as i'm concerned , you've cleared , so we'll see you in Bangkok all the same !
July saw us standing our ground , BANDing together , Arms Locked and Facing the same direction and refusing to bend to external factors or forces that would seek to dampen our spirits , increase our workloads or bully and threaten us into submission ... INDOMITABLE's what we are .
August once again sees many of us come to life !! and striving towards the A and H challenge .. Seoul here we come !!!
Danny , wing , john , Alan and Kristy are more or less tied at around the 12,000 to 13,000 mark .
Uncle Sam is as yet closest to said finishing line of 19,000 at around 15,000 plus and
Lauren leads the rest in the below 10,000 group .
Do NOT give up nor Despair , ALL of you !!!
That does NOT , in any sense , hint that the fight is done or our fates are sealed , etched in stone .
Keep in mind tho' , that the cut off for Shield plans is on the 20th of this month so fight on Family members !
Here's wishing all who're fighting all the Best and to have the clarity of mind to know that nothing great ever came easy .
To have the Wisdom to understand that what you put focus and attention on WILL grow .
To have the Discipline to , when you're so sorely tempted to give up and try again , NOT to do so but persist till the end of the month .
NOW .. For some of you , you already have 1 of the 4 trips PROMISED to you in the Bag.
Regardless of who That someone was , whoever that is who introduced you to this career months back . Some of you will soon get the second trip in your shopping bag as well , it seems .
Make no mistake tho' , even if you're interested in NONE of these trips , the trips actually serve a FAR Nobler purpose ........ To help you keep track of your journey in this career . Be it in Growth and Development in Character OR Finances . [ kachink kachink $$ !!! ]
In Retrospect ... Have YOU kept YOUR promises so far ? to your introducer , your Friend , your colleagues , your Famille , your Clients ...... your SELF even ?
Go forth and Prosper , ALL of us . =]

Leading By Example ..
Leading By Example , Myth .... Or Fact ?
That was the focus of a pretty heated Debate i had with a fellow manager/Facilitator in Prudential This week .
Her : ...How can i ask someone to do a starclub when i've NEVER done one myself ??
Me : If that was true then you've doomed yourself and whoever joins you to NEVER achieve anything more than a QC in their careers . i'd strongly advise anyone keen to join your "family" to drop the notion !how will they feed themselves ??
Her : But you look at my Boss , She motivates me . She Inspires me . I should be a better leader .. i'll NEVER be like her ! *sighs*
Me : Why you wanna live in her shadow ? *Guffaws* Why [should ] be a better leader ? i don't wanna be a second rate / imitation Zinc , Tony Low Or Raymond Tan ! Even though they're the ones i always run to for advise or to save my impulsive ass and i respect and admire them !!!i constantly strive to REMAIN a 1st rate Kenneth Chiew and you know what ?? i Always succeed at it and i'm most Definitely happy all the time !!! O_O
Her : How do you and zinc get your agency and the peeps UNDER you two to come on time , and stay as motivated and driven as i've observed them over these past 8 months ? Teach me .. pRease ..
Me : Baby i can't man , you're crazay .. First off .. we're worlds apart , you and i , not to say i'm superior to you in ANY WAY but that we play according to our own , innate , personal Rhythm , our own innate tune ..and the sooner you come to terms with that , the better you'll perform .. and the happier you'll be . They're not our agency ... They're Family ... and they're not UNDER the two of us ... we're with THEM . we ARE them .

My Family members , we're not so different , you and i ...
Lead with passion my lovely , Beautiful siblings ...

Battle at Kruger .
Good Morning La Famille !!!!!!!
Now some of you might be readin this post in the Afternoon so Good Afternoon !!
To those who happen to see this post in the Evening Good Evening !!!
and well some of you may be readin it at night sOoOoo ... well you get my Drift .
In the early hours of this morning the 30thJuly2009 , La Famille members such as Uncle Samson , Wing and Kristy went in search of a new , widely untapped and as such , potentially Lucrative market . I shan't name it lest others who read our websites venture there as with so many of the things we do these days , there're those who TRY to copy our ideas wholesale ... even our appearances . That's when you know you're on the right path , our Beloved sisters and Brothers !
Suffice to say that our Elite Recce team ventured out at around .. 10pm on the night of the 29TH and didn't return till say 4 am the next day . Even a young , attractive lady like Kristy so i do apologise here to her Fiance .
Now just in case all of you are wonderin if Bro-Ken has Finally lost it in the sense what's THE " Battle @ Kruger " got to do with all of this ?
Enter Battle At Kruger possibly on YOUTUBE and you will see the Harsh reality of life , and while it may be visually disturbing to the meek .. i pray that you all can finish the footage and read some of the comments afterwards .. It is potentially the Biggest event in the world of Nature Documentary . As with ALL Miracles , everyone will inevitably take a different view .
The people who're feelin down and out will probably play it down , as with all the other minuscule Miracles already existent in their lives !
Those who're constantly in search of Beauty and Joy though , may watch it and weep tears of Bewilderment afterwards ...
whatever it is you take from the footage ... Enjoy !!!

Actions speak louder than words .
"Very well said Kid . Proud of you .You've worked very smart till now and last year in the month of december i stood testimony to your Brilliant hard work ... and again sometime this year in March or April ... problem is ... you *fizzle* out ..."
The above is my entry on Esther's Blog .
Here's some takes i have on yesterdays events .
Esther ,
you need to maintain that internal Drive and motivation . Which you're not gonna have if you CONTINUOUSLY and INCESSANTLY give reasons to yourself why you're not great YET when you're working amidst such Greats as Cara Liu and Lam Yi lee .
Put Lauren , Danny , Kristy or John with them [ so named here because these are the "i want to be number one " members of our Famille ] and i Guarantee you they'll try to match [ initially ] then attempt to beSt these legends [eventually ].Perhaps it's time to switch your single spot out and request permission for one of these 4 to start joining them for activities instead .
It especially frightens me when you seem to not just settle with the mindset of being second best but Third even as was demonstrated by your comments and questions recently such as " ... will you be ok with it if i'm ok with Lauren being Number 1 , Kor ? "
Go read Lauren and Kristy's exchange .See with your own eyes how Kristy , a newcomer then , aspires , DARES ... to be the BEST and how Graciously , and out of so much concern and LOVE Lauren in return welcomes Kristy's Lofty aspirations and says , in not so many words ..." bring it on "
Reasons and comments such as "they have done it before " , "i have still so much to learn" , "EVENTUALLY i'll be like them " or "they're there already " are some No-Nos that i hope i never hear you say . You make them sound like they're so distant .
Or like some of the words we heard in your APS speech earlier this year " i'm young ", " just graduated " , " dunno how i did it even tho i'm all alone and no one to run with me "
**cries on stage**.
When you requested one day after you returned from FASTTRACK to speak to zinc , you cried and said you envied teams like ALvis Thor's , Grace Kong's cos they go for trips together , work together but here , it was just you .Ask zinc NOW , how she feels in hindsight ?
Oh how you wished you had what they had , a team that works and plays ,LAUGHS and CRIES , suffers and celebrates together . EVERYTHING ... TOGETHER .
While this Famille is bonding , starting to form .. we're still growing ... still in our infancy , still fragile ... and in need of each and everyone we can get , every iota of strength we MUST muster to help keep it together and strong ... WHERE have you been , Dear Esther ? WHERE ARE you still ?
You who seemed so much to have wanted a family of your own .Seemed to have dreamt the same dreams Lisa , Zinc , Wing , Lauren , Alan , Kristy , Danny , Kristen , Phyllis Dreamt .
YOU as part of the pioneers who are tryin everything they can to grow US ... WHERE were you ? Where ARE you still ?
i don't see you joining the activities your famille is running ... do you ?
Should you miss your goals at the end of this year again , just like you did last year ... you Don't need a THOUSAND reasons so Stop Lying to yourself , victimising yourself , Esther . Stop Giving Excuses , Stop with the Reasons , Stop with the Leeway to yourself so that incidents like
[I am sorry that I forgot to prepare the survey forms that caused a delay in the start of the project. We only got to start at close to 8.30am. ] can Stop happening .
If you're truly grateful for our efforts and care , would you forget ? it hints , like so many things you do .. of lip service ... nothing more , nothing less .
IF you truly want to succeed , you just need that ONE reason ... no need for external reminders , reasons , factors etc etc ....
Remember this ?
" if i fail to hit STARCLUB by end of this year ... i'll leave . "
** looks around room staring straight into everyone's eyes in a display of sheer Grit and/or determination** "
cos to this day , i remember my moment .
"i will have ...." . "i will attain ......." or " they can only hope to contain me , they cannot stop me " . These are what are known as moments of Brilliance by the entertainment industry , moments worth an oscar nomination ... Difference is .. in life ... whether you get the OSCAR or not depends on your performance thereafter ... First class ? Lacklustre ? or worst still ... simply Amateur acting , OVERacting at times ... and missing the "feel of the moment "
Your comrades' weak smiles yesterday didn't mean [ MY what a bestest day in the whole wide world !!! ] , they meant as long as some of us get something outta this , this day and my personal sacrifices have NOT been in vain . i seriously doubt one mirrors those expressions with
[ Yo!!! how's everything man ? cool !!! Let's hang out on Friday !!! ONs ?!?! ] ~ Classic lack of SQ , EQ , empathy , sympathy . Some of us would even suspect you did that on purpose , if we didn't know you better .
They who're TRULY sad lets few know they are .
They who're TRULY adamant about success focus on mirroring the successful .Not on how successful/clever they already are themselves .
They who're TRULY kind wish to reach out to all with their kindness but yet inevitably always seem to play down what they do or try to hide said acts of kindness .
HOWEVER ...They who WANT everyone around them to think ... THINK !... that they're Stressed and Sad , wear it on their faces and actions , in the hopes someone asks them why ,so that they may begin their stories and Fables . Legends even , of how Great they once WERE , just as so many taxi drivers do .
They who demonstrate wisdom often seek to share love , joy and concern with ALL or lessons and means in their attainment ... falls , woes and worries ...Those are their selfishly Guarded PERSONAL realities .
Tomorrow's OUR small little meeting ... make your own choices ... and pay for their consequences like an adult would . Should .
Respect has to be EARNED , it cannot be demanded .
There's NO seniority here in this Famille .
The ones who constantly try to lift this Famille to Greater heights and increase overall or individual Productivity with their efforts and ideas would UNdoubtedly draw respect and appreciation , admiration from the rest who're striving , fighting for that same dream .
Similarly if there was anyone who Betrays , sabotages our efforts or constantly try to show they're better than the rest of us by only working with other's who seem to be more familiar with the path to success yet brings nothing back to help their peers ... well let's just say we aren't blind to that either .
Life's a show , an act , a play or Drama and the world it's stage , like so many greats have said .
It's sad when so many aspiring actors OVERACT ... becomes UNnatural and sometimes even ... spoils the whole damn movie .

Abuse ? Alterations and Understanding .
Finished Project [ STEP UP ] surprisingly early , back in office and Bloggin at 1345 hrs . just goes to show a concentrated and well orchestrated effort can produce insane results . 10 names each , quality ones , and for wing , this number means 30 .
Today i witnessed MANY things in that few hours at Raffles place ...
i've seen how the sky lights up in the CBD area .
i've seen how members in the family try to egg/urge each other on towards success .
i've seen how , for a cause greater than themselves , La Famille's members accomplish Breakthroughs Unknowingly.
i've seen how much it must mean to feel wanted , needed , belonged .. what a strong motivating force it can be .
i've also seen what i foresee to be a danger in misinterpretation , or to some , denial .
Let's address the last point first as i wish to see what the rest of La Famille has to say before i add anything .
Now , not unlike Paedophiles , Soothsayers and Distorters of Truth , the False Prophets , some might add ... and we're REALLY talkin about any Great Beliefs , Great religions here ... The initial Doctrines , Teachings , bestowed on by enlightened masters , teachers alike face this same problem ... When the Taught or students here reproduce or worst still , propagate the wisdom of these teachings or knowledge in their daily lives ... They inevitably change it to suit THEIR purpose at that moment they wish to use said teachings , inevitably with their own emotions thrown in .
I too , not unlike the Rest of everyone else there at project [Step up ] today , attended Mr Bernard Ho's Guerrila sales intensive training sessions . So i too recall , as i'm sure everyone does ... His empowerment which gave rise to reminders such as " i'm not obligated to anyone " or things like " i don't have to blame myself " even things such as "there's no need for me to feel sorry/ inadequate " .
I'm gonna go in for a longshot here and assume , as i will need to consult and clarify with him later , whether these sentences are to ReLEASE us from our personal shackles , our INCAPACITATING balls and chains . It's my guess that it's not to Release us TOTALLY from ANY guilt whatsoever in life when we suspect or half suspect that we've done wrong to someone or when that someone comes up to us and tells us how much our actions have hurt them .
No doubt that ttheir above-mentioned actions are ONLY a reflection of their emotions and themselves and i don't have to feel sad or troubled over it but maybe and just maybe Guilt , sorrow and Conscience protects us from repeating future actions that give rise to similar , if not exactly same scenarios .
Because ... so does Pain , Literally speakin .. Through our Natural self preservation impulsive response , we shy away from pain . Otherwise , whats to stop anyone from depriving a person of sleep , work , pay just because he's in a position to do so? What can we use in our Arsenal to stop a man from killing an innocent ? To dissuade him from pulling a trigger or jumping to his death with his hostage in a hostage situation ?
Not feeling Guilty and Not feeling any remorse can be argued by some , to be a gift embedded in the few , yet coveted by THE many ... perhaps THE all . Society and Psychologists have a name for these blessed people who feel absolutely nothing in cutting up a human being ? child ? or other cruel acts of torture meant to inflict as much pain as possible to their victims ... any guesses what they call all these gifted people ?
While this is a Reflection of just my feelings , no one needs to agree or Disagree with it .
Now let's presume i was in a position of influence , and i would like to call myself an influencer .
I'd like to think that my actions / inputs / behavior is important to someone and because of the fact that Lately , i've fallen into a Ditch in my work or life and i wear a frown consistently and someone comes up to me and asks out of concern is anything wrong ? well i can choose to do or say 2 things :
1) Mind your own biznez and Flick them off .
2) I'm troubled and i need help .
And presuming again and this is my take on the matter ... if lets say everyone REALLY did want to help ME out , help me realise why i couldn't do certain things that i used to or i think should be able to .
They set out , in all earnesty to show me their own methods for accomplishing the same thing i set out to do .
In this case , canvassing at 730 and missing my Famille's meeting because i feel i didn't do a good enough job so i wish to continue ... that's MY reason anyways .
They repeat same scenario for me , try to be in my shoes and all i need to do in return , is that i observe , best i can , their individual mannerisms , styles and effort .
Put simply They work i just eye power for the next 5 hours !
While these same , helpful family members of mine slog in the rain/sun tryin to prove to me that this career isn't that tough actually ... Maybe all i can repay them with is understanding and empathy ? a silent acknowledgement , a sombre realisation that my family is tryin to help me and show me that i can do this ?
i KNOW for a fact however , that all they want , is to see me happy and stop draggin that frown around ... and see me bring in the numbers that can make me proud and happy yet again in my work .
Maybe , in Retrospect , Esther could've tried to pretend to be "remorseful" , "feel a li'l bad" , " a li'l guilty " ... dare i ask ... " a wee bit Grateful " for everyone's concerted effort to push me , nudge me on ? Not answerin the phone like she's just had the very , very Bestest day in her life ? Full of energy , excitement and zeal ?
While the rest are tryin to cope with sickness , fatigue ?
But oh well , That's just me , and our job DOES requires us to answer like everything's peachy ... So the True question is would you have done things differently if you were in those same shoes ? or the same ? i wouldn't know about you guys ... but i know what i'd do .... I'd answer the phone later or " i'll call you later " ... even if i had to demonstrate the same gusto cos my job requires me to and "what a WONDERFUL day this has been !" mannerisms . i'd prbably wait till these tired guys and girl are no longer there for me to ... consciously or not ... rub their faces in it .
[ put bluntly ].
Perhaps we should all try this , "Guiltless cos it rewards nothing , no remorse cos it's counterproductive routine ? We'll have a lot of " why you wasting time here when your time has come and gone ??" , "you're a hasbeen " or "you're less productive than me , this family needs all the positivity it can get now so why don't you leave your frown at home ?or yourself for that matter ? you're spoiling my mood ."
Guilt , Remorse , Tears serves NO purpose ..... perhaps IF and ONLY IF someone repeats , reproduces said actions time after time , repeats frustrated looks and or complains time after time without an INTERNAL agreement to Fix and/or change standard , Quality of life .
Ask Bernard if he's got any Regrets , Felt any Guilt , entertained ANY Doubt over these past two years for ANYTHING , ANYTHING at all even if not related to work and i'm PRETTY sure ... The answer could be a ... " yes" ? After all , it's widely Believed that Tears are a Gift from a higher source ... It lets not just us ... But others Know ... that we're hurting .
STill ... Also can be exploited and used as weapon . kekekekeke !
Today i witnessed MANY things in that few hours at Raffles place ...
i've seen how the sky lights up in the CBD area .
i've seen how members in the family try to egg/urge each other on towards success .
i've seen how , for a cause greater than themselves , La Famille's members accomplish Breakthroughs Unknowingly.
i've seen how much it must mean to feel wanted , needed , belonged .. what a strong motivating force it can be .
i've also seen what i foresee to be a danger in misinterpretation , or to some , denial .
Let's address the last point first as i wish to see what the rest of La Famille has to say before i add anything .
Now , not unlike Paedophiles , Soothsayers and Distorters of Truth , the False Prophets , some might add ... and we're REALLY talkin about any Great Beliefs , Great religions here ... The initial Doctrines , Teachings , bestowed on by enlightened masters , teachers alike face this same problem ... When the Taught or students here reproduce or worst still , propagate the wisdom of these teachings or knowledge in their daily lives ... They inevitably change it to suit THEIR purpose at that moment they wish to use said teachings , inevitably with their own emotions thrown in .
I too , not unlike the Rest of everyone else there at project [Step up ] today , attended Mr Bernard Ho's Guerrila sales intensive training sessions . So i too recall , as i'm sure everyone does ... His empowerment which gave rise to reminders such as " i'm not obligated to anyone " or things like " i don't have to blame myself " even things such as "there's no need for me to feel sorry/ inadequate " .
I'm gonna go in for a longshot here and assume , as i will need to consult and clarify with him later , whether these sentences are to ReLEASE us from our personal shackles , our INCAPACITATING balls and chains . It's my guess that it's not to Release us TOTALLY from ANY guilt whatsoever in life when we suspect or half suspect that we've done wrong to someone or when that someone comes up to us and tells us how much our actions have hurt them .
No doubt that ttheir above-mentioned actions are ONLY a reflection of their emotions and themselves and i don't have to feel sad or troubled over it but maybe and just maybe Guilt , sorrow and Conscience protects us from repeating future actions that give rise to similar , if not exactly same scenarios .
Because ... so does Pain , Literally speakin .. Through our Natural self preservation impulsive response , we shy away from pain . Otherwise , whats to stop anyone from depriving a person of sleep , work , pay just because he's in a position to do so? What can we use in our Arsenal to stop a man from killing an innocent ? To dissuade him from pulling a trigger or jumping to his death with his hostage in a hostage situation ?
Not feeling Guilty and Not feeling any remorse can be argued by some , to be a gift embedded in the few , yet coveted by THE many ... perhaps THE all . Society and Psychologists have a name for these blessed people who feel absolutely nothing in cutting up a human being ? child ? or other cruel acts of torture meant to inflict as much pain as possible to their victims ... any guesses what they call all these gifted people ?
While this is a Reflection of just my feelings , no one needs to agree or Disagree with it .
Now let's presume i was in a position of influence , and i would like to call myself an influencer .
I'd like to think that my actions / inputs / behavior is important to someone and because of the fact that Lately , i've fallen into a Ditch in my work or life and i wear a frown consistently and someone comes up to me and asks out of concern is anything wrong ? well i can choose to do or say 2 things :

Early Day , Makes sense .
Excerpts from my post this morning as i prepare to go for the games .
If it's not Bro-Ken , don't fix it .I want to take this opportunity too to suggest something , Dear Esther .
As a close friend has so kindly pointed out ... ANYONE .. can lead . just depends on the size of the group you wish to lead .And the manner in which you'd like to lead them . Bloggin , like snoggin , allows the rest of the famille insight to YOUR emotional wellbeing , keeps everyone else healthy as well ... Balanced .
Wing has been leading discipline , never coming late ONCE for anything called for by La Famille in the 8 months he's been here .
Lauren ? Dreams .
[ REALLY Livin this DREAM btw !!! ] She doesn't forget what she's in this career for ... She REAAAAALLY Stretches our imaginations, even mine own ... as to what one can accomplish in this career , shameful to say i have heard many times , scary productions and awe-inspiring ACtivities .. BUT i've yet to see it first hand .. History in the making is what we're witnessing here .
How can one forget if day AND night , that's all that she can think of ?... more or less .How truly , does one forget dreams and aspirations ?? you might ask ? when it doesn't come from within .
Your mind lends power to what your attention gives focus on .
If it's pain you're lookin out for , EXPECTING , it's INEVITABLY pain that you'll find .[ works well with betrayal , disappointments , fights , Discomfort , AILMENTS , aFFLICTIONS , quarrels etc etc ... ]
If it's a CERTAIN amount of success you're obsessed with Day and NIGHT , guess what ? That's what you'll get , the speed in it's attainment only , and i stress , ONLY depends on how much feeling you give to your emotions .
When one sees something or has been suggested something He/She might like to have ...it's EXTERNAL . When , however , the same situations makes that someone think " without attaining this ... i'd be better off dead" . or " My life has been for naught " or " i JUST KNOW i'd be miserable if all i amounted to was_________ "
Therein , a Leader is born . Truth then , i suppose to the myth that true leaders are " born ".
Not strange then , some find the greatest will to act or are soonest to act and BEST of all !! and this is classic ! Spares NO Effort and GO THRU the GREATEST lengths in the pursuit of " love" or what one perceives to be " love "~ how many people you know fold a thousand cranes to woo their Girlfriends , Boyfriends back in the school days ? Do you still think they're losers ? ... Anyone ? They're OBSESSED with the Dream of havin the target as partner . Takes lots of Discipline man ... even if you pay someone to do it ... it required wanting planning , dinnit ?
As an individual operating in a bigger field though... It's our duty to , well , as My dear Friend Lena Goh has so wisely pointed out :
" Stretch Peoples' visions , Don't choke their Dreams "
AS i prepare myself to leave the office NOW for the games .. i notice it's raining .. What wonderful weather for a get together !!
People view rain differently too , don't they ?
AAAAHAHHAhahahahahHHAHAhaHAAHahAHaahahaha !!!!
Today Marks a TOTAL eclipse of the sun . Longest Duration and Magnitude in RECORDED history ? Today Leaders shall be born ... and the once mighty and certain shall crumble ... Heads up everyone ... This is a phenomenom that happens .... DAILY . Even the sun rises and sets .
Now then , is Success truly a Destiny ? Or a Discipline ? Or perhaps ... just perhaps .... a DREAM .
They who know the hows and whats will always work for they who know WHY .
Everyone , when you return to the office later today ask yourselves ... WHY .
WHY WHAT ?? you may ask ? Why Everything . ohhhhh ho ho ho ho ho !

Replica from Little bird's blog
This was such a long winded BLOG [ if you guys have ever seen me type you'd know why ] that it just wouldn't make sense not to post it here . It was initially intended for Little Bird but i've since decided why not share with the rest ?
hope you don't mind , my li'l baby sis !
Young Lady , i feel for you truly .. and understand this is not the best understood [ no pun intended ] career choice in the world , all the more reason for you to not just " don't give up " .. so cliche ... but Do EXTREMELY WELL !
Doing well would give em the headsup that this is not just a career that " if you can then very good " this is the career where " you must force yourself to can then UNBELIEVABLE !"
My mommy used to say to me , back in 2003 " well , better than nothin " and or " just gain some experience , i'll eventually open a 7/11 for you , i guess " and most recently "how come other people manager , you also manager but you like so poor ?" when i took a loan from her .
Hahahahaha !!! To which point i replied "i quit now restart my Garang kuni [ rag and bones ] k mommy ? " then she stopped and " sayanged" me later that night with soup .
Gotta understand there's a flaw in the teachings aquired from our parents' own parents .. not nagging/sniding/ being sarcastic/injecting negative remarks/ running my child's face into the mud equals me not doing a good job by keeping my child down to earth and/or REALISTIC ?
But parents dearest ... What if i'm SICK of being REALISTiC , average or ACTUALLY NOT BAD ? [ What the HELL does that phrase mean anyways ??!! NOT bad doesn't mean GOOD... or am i missin somethin here ?]
What if MEDIOCRE terrifies me ? What if earning just enough or EVEN slightly more than enough keeps me awake at night ?What if i feel i should , i could , be worthy of so much more ?
What if i don't wanna be down to earth no mo' ?
What if all i've ever wanted since i was a child was to soar ?
Just as Icarius did ? and if soarin too close to the sun might melt my filmsy wings made of candlewax and i'd quite possibly crash and burn ? But even if that was my Destiny so be it .
At least for that moment in time i'd have tasted Heaven .
however brief and foolish it might seem to some ... it would have lasted an eternity for me and was what my Life's work has been towards .. Right from the very moment i smiled at the toddler in the same play pen sitting next to me and offered her a handfull of sand to which she made her mission to eat ... Having yet to acquire the powers of speech that these days allows me to save/help my loved ones [ that's you tWo , btw ! ... then wing 3 , alan10 and so on and so forth ... ] ...
In actual fact all i wanted to say at that tender age to her was , hey baby , this is sand , DON'T eat k ? [ UNorthodox pickup line i know , but hadta start someplace and sometime right ?...... RIGHT???] and look on eyes wide open , jaws dropped to ground .. salivating , no less .. in Bewilderment , Disbelief as she decided to makan sutra .
Were you even listening ???!!
With age and wisdom comes the revelation that MOST if not all the people we come across often hear us ... but don't listen . Look at the work we do , but SEE NOTHING .
WE can take it on ourselves then , to OPEN their eyes ... UNCOVER those tightly clasped ears for them .. EVEN if they're our parents .
But there's a song however , titled [ in the living years ] i think ... and in it there's an especially meaningful verse .. see if you can find it ... old song ... they SELDOM write songs like these anymo' . Whoever finds it gets a one to one lunch with me , contest open to all ' cept wing , alan , john , boss , samsambutdifferent , kristy,stephen ,wingy, hector , phyllis , esther lauren phew ! what a mouthful !! and oh ya !
li'l bOird too . O_o
Esther IS pretty impressive almost all the time ... ALMOST because sometimes ... i half suspect she chooses not to be .. All about choices , i guess .
hor E E ? he he he he he ... ~^
YAY NOW LETS GO WATCH THE HAIRY POTTY PARIAH PRINCE !!!!
p.s.when i REread then discovered there's a brand name here !!! see if u guys can spot it . i didn't purposely leave out a comma but it was spot on !!! AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
need another clue ? think Fashion houses of new york !Have a great day , my preciousssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss .

What a Great Feeling !
For those of you wonderin what i'm talkin about ... i'm talkin about La Famille Members being in the top 5 in the weekly updates as received by my mobile on 30th June 2009 , 11.35a.m. Just so Everyone knows .. it goes something like this :
1st Lauren Ling $36,586/4 nol ,
2nd Alan Chin $21,970/8 nol ,
3rd John Huang $16,346 /1 nol ,
4th Wing Leong $8,103/4 nol ,
5th Stephen Lim $7,357/6 nol .
Gladys even commented : Lauren's case is 3,000 plus issit ? is there a mistake ?
Outstanding ! Now you guys ALL know what the next step is right ? ... ... ... ... ... Beating this !!!
Paula Abdul couldn't haven't said it better herself in this season of
American Idol [ season 8 , methinks ] it went somethin like
" True Geniuses don't meet expectations ... they smash 'em . "
Our very own Kristy said it wonderfully apt ... and Twice in office mighty loudly too , i might add !!
" Of course i saw la ! all top 5 our Familly members what !!!! "
Over the weekend , after all the dust has settled , and as i set body and mind to rest each night ... i reflect on the past month , how The majority of the Famille went after their individual goals with all their might . Alan , Danny , Wing , Stephen , John , Kristy , Kristen , Esther and Lauren fought really hard and spared no effort in their pursuit of happiness and their goals .
It now gives me Great pleasure and Honor to announce that to date we have 4 fast track qualifiers and our very own QC qualifier at the mid year point . BIG entourage going for The fast track trip this year ... how nice ...
Noteworthy :
Alan had a Statistics Paper on 30th June , His Toughest subject in his final year and for which he wants/ needs to hit an A !!!
Danny was busy preparing for his wedding when he would wed the Lovely Evon on 4th July and still submitted approximately 24k Api in June alone !!!
Wing was due to attend the First Asian Youth Games on 3oth June , for which he was featured on National TV twice as the official Referee for Basketball !!!!
Stephen had a BIG case go bye bye on him just 1 week before the Fast track deadline but still Grit his teeth and pulled thru !!!
JohnJohn was Facing Big personal problems at home but still brought in impressive amounts of Api !!! He's now Only second to Lauren on the overall BOARD . That's approx 80 agents , just so everyone knows .
Kristy's exams starts on 13th July and she's only been contracted in June but that hasn't stopped her for tryin for Fast track and to date she has close to 20k Api , workin to tears on at least 3 occasions [ that i know of ! ] in this past month alone !!! She wants nothing less than to maintain her current average of A's in her studies . Admirable !
Kristen Finally allowed to close her first case as her Training with The GREAT MR bernard HO Sir has finally seen it's first week . OOoOoOooH the Nectar .. sweet Ambrosia !!!!
Last but Definitely not least .. Lauren brought in a whopping $56,000 Api in June alone !!!! yet still meets up with me and zinc night after night in the first few nights on July cos she's stressed and wants to " UP " her business and speed further ... We've been strategisin and Role playin no end !!!!
Here's the thing . i always recall a quote i see on Boss' Board , it says
" If you GROW because of someone , Let someone GROW because of you "
Now whether we like it or not , or care to admit it or not ... La Famille allows us a vehicle for our thoughts , ideas , emotions and most importantly , ENERGY to be transferred to and from each other ... please and i urge everyone ... give congratulations where it is due BUT MORE SO , voice your concerns when you think your comrade in arms might be falling behind .
We're all captains of our own ships , sailing towards our own destinations , some further than others , some towards nearer shores ... some towards unknown and UNfamiliar waters ... some towards what they deem to be safer waters but we all have one thing in common ..you and i ... No one can sail our vessels for us .
Here's an excerpt i noted down , havin read it on a maritime magazine on my honeymoon in paris in '08 , was one of the seafarers' towns by the coastal areas in Europe that we visited , methinks .
"Captains are not defined by the smoothest sailing times in our journeys .. BUT by the Rockiest , most tumultuous , most hazardous oceans we've crossed and the most life threatening trials we've faced in OUR Epic Adventure . "
At the end of this , the year of the widely acclaimed Greatest Financial Upheaval and or slash , Turmoil in recorded history ... there'll be many different groups of people but amongst the masses in our industry or immediate vicinity ... amongst those who've had dreams and who've fought bravely for those dreams , there'll be two groups ... the group that heaves a sigh , shrugs their shoulders and say " oh well , better LUCK next year " and then there's this group ... your group , people ... who join hands , Laughin and shakin your head in Disbelief , TEARS of pride , joy and amazement ... For just how far you've travelled on this , your personal Pilgrimage .. ONLY you know . and June , July .. EVEN this year ... would only be a distant memory .. Gone too soon .
It's been an Honor and pleasure my Dearest Siblings , accompanying you on THIS , your Great Voyage .
Be the Captains of your own Destinies ... Brave all storms and when you need a harbour in which to rest , take refuge from when the seas are simply too tough or simply to stock up on supplies for that next trip ... La Famille'll always be your Port of call .

4th Wing Leong $8,103/4 nol ,
5th Stephen Lim $7,357/6 nol .
Gladys even commented : Lauren's case is 3,000 plus issit ? is there a mistake ?
Outstanding ! Now you guys ALL know what the next step is right ? ... ... ... ... ... Beating this !!!
Paula Abdul couldn't haven't said it better herself in this season of
American Idol [ season 8 , methinks ] it went somethin like
" True Geniuses don't meet expectations ... they smash 'em . "
Our very own Kristy said it wonderfully apt ... and Twice in office mighty loudly too , i might add !!
" Of course i saw la ! all top 5 our Familly members what !!!! "
Over the weekend , after all the dust has settled , and as i set body and mind to rest each night ... i reflect on the past month , how The majority of the Famille went after their individual goals with all their might . Alan , Danny , Wing , Stephen , John , Kristy , Kristen , Esther and Lauren fought really hard and spared no effort in their pursuit of happiness and their goals .
It now gives me Great pleasure and Honor to announce that to date we have 4 fast track qualifiers and our very own QC qualifier at the mid year point . BIG entourage going for The fast track trip this year ... how nice ...
Noteworthy :
Alan had a Statistics Paper on 30th June , His Toughest subject in his final year and for which he wants/ needs to hit an A !!!
Danny was busy preparing for his wedding when he would wed the Lovely Evon on 4th July and still submitted approximately 24k Api in June alone !!!
Wing was due to attend the First Asian Youth Games on 3oth June , for which he was featured on National TV twice as the official Referee for Basketball !!!!
Stephen had a BIG case go bye bye on him just 1 week before the Fast track deadline but still Grit his teeth and pulled thru !!!
JohnJohn was Facing Big personal problems at home but still brought in impressive amounts of Api !!! He's now Only second to Lauren on the overall BOARD . That's approx 80 agents , just so everyone knows .
Kristy's exams starts on 13th July and she's only been contracted in June but that hasn't stopped her for tryin for Fast track and to date she has close to 20k Api , workin to tears on at least 3 occasions [ that i know of ! ] in this past month alone !!! She wants nothing less than to maintain her current average of A's in her studies . Admirable !
Kristen Finally allowed to close her first case as her Training with The GREAT MR bernard HO Sir has finally seen it's first week . OOoOoOooH the Nectar .. sweet Ambrosia !!!!
Last but Definitely not least .. Lauren brought in a whopping $56,000 Api in June alone !!!! yet still meets up with me and zinc night after night in the first few nights on July cos she's stressed and wants to " UP " her business and speed further ... We've been strategisin and Role playin no end !!!!
Here's the thing . i always recall a quote i see on Boss' Board , it says
" If you GROW because of someone , Let someone GROW because of you "
Now whether we like it or not , or care to admit it or not ... La Famille allows us a vehicle for our thoughts , ideas , emotions and most importantly , ENERGY to be transferred to and from each other ... please and i urge everyone ... give congratulations where it is due BUT MORE SO , voice your concerns when you think your comrade in arms might be falling behind .
We're all captains of our own ships , sailing towards our own destinations , some further than others , some towards nearer shores ... some towards unknown and UNfamiliar waters ... some towards what they deem to be safer waters but we all have one thing in common ..you and i ... No one can sail our vessels for us .

Half Year Mark Everyone !!!
'Tis the time to take stock of dreams , goals and aspirations . Not just in our line but in Life as a whole . What are some of YOUR dreams ? some of YOUR goals ? YOUR aspirations ?
NO ONE starts a year thinkin' "this is the year i'd like to achieve nuthin' " OR " this is one year i'd like to have accomplished nuthin' and let it be a total waste of ONE year in my life " well , at least no one i keep company , break bread with .
Wise men have always known this , that you are more or less Defined by the company that you keep . i once read somewhere this quote
" Seek Good company , where there're none .. keep None ."
Any surprise then that most religions have Recluses , Hermits ? In search of wisdom , these sages / holymen made a Harsh Choice ... to be affected by NONE , communicatin' with NONE ... and in so doing ... Distracted BY ... NONE . Spending their entire days , months , years .... Lives even ... in solitude , meditating , whether it's mysteries / meaning of life or wisdom , peace , Nirvana they seek .
There's a sayin' in Chinese as i was so nicely enlightened by our very own Wing Leong on wednesday 17062009 .
" Jing(4) Zhu(1) Zhe(3) Chi(4) , Jing(4) Mo(4) Zhe(3) HeY(1) "**
it justly falls in line with sociologists who lean towards the Nurture school of thought in the great [ Nurture or Nature ] Debate .
[**the (numbers) refer to their tones in chinese phonetics ]
Today , Wednesday the 17thJune2009 , i've witnessed Many things , how some still crave company of others in our line . Others in this sense refers to people not from La Famille .. NO right or wrong here ... depends the reason upon which they act in choosin said company . i have come across many who keep company of those whose productions are waaaaaay below themselves to feel a sense of :
(1)positioning [ to remind themselves where they are and how much better off / positive and happy they are so they strive to stay ahead and keep ahead ] .
(2)Fulfillment [ to remind themselves they're in a position to help , pick up their fallen , straggling comrades , in line or life .
Teach them to fish , people ... NOT keep givin yours or your Famille's .
I guess in Retrospect there's this other school ... and i now realise that it takes a certain type of person to always hang out with people doing waaaaay better than themselves Simply for one reason and one reason alone ... some might think it's to look good cos they then can be in the same Niche group and even if payment is in the form of Flattery or self Degradation , they gladly pay the price . Make no mistake , purpose here isn't to :
[ Zhang(4) Ta(1) Ren(2) Zhi(1) Qi(4) Mie (4) Zi(4) Ji(3) Wei(1) Feng(1) . ]
ie : Praise , Exhort another at the expense of oneself .
It Ought to be , imho ( in my Humble opinion ) , for one reasone and that reason is to one day be part of this Niche Group , if only to LEAD it ... and one day to match , if not to outperform ... outshine ... the person you strive to become .
Be Great , People , if for no other reason then 'cos in OUR eyes ...you are ... YOU ARE .

Back in Hospital !!!
Man i can't believe it , hospitalised again from the same bite ! just goes to show these things could take a while , and a bit more money then expected . Doctors have informed me that in some cases , the residual venom may take a while to act up .
The swelling started again after 4 days of no show , i checked out on monday only to check back into Accident and Emergency on saturday night .. macy was so poor thing !She had an entire day of roadshow on saturday , started very early in the morning and was only able to return home at 11 plus at night only to send AND accompany me to hospital . WE registered ourselves at 1 plus but managed to get warded only at 6 - 7 am ?

i Checked into the same ward and room i was originally stayin in the week before .
will be discharged the following night on the 10th June . Lookin forward to going down to the roadshow and charging right back to work .. albeit with a puffy middle finger ! LOL .
"power" finger :p

Much Delayed Post .
Heyheyhey Everyone ! This is the much awaited / procrastinated post i was talkin about in JohnJohn's and also in conjunction with E's blog on the blessings of Prushield Eggstra !Actually i was already back to work on the very day of my discharge on 1stjune2009 , ask Lauren and Kristen , they'll know .. we went back to office together .so it's not i was lazy k ?? ^^
i Guess most would've heard how i got bitten by that NOTCOOL! dude from the Chilopoda family , the biggest group of anthropods . The Big a$$ centipede with a big a$$ bite to match it's reputation . Here it's shown with it's li'l monsters ... You all know how some parents say " these're my li'l monsters" of their kids ? only in this case ..... THEM centipede mothers would be right !!!!
Sparing the description , i shall instead fill everyone in on what followed that fateful event .
After gettin bitten my first reaction was to suck out what little venom i could from the wound , stay calm AND calmly walk over to tell the rest of the party and my MOM makin sure to calm them down . [ you all know how mommies are .. imma always gonna be her baby .. all 240pounds , 6 ft 3" of me . ROFL ! ]
Made it a point to keep my left hand holdin the wrist of my right , so that the venom from the bite on my right middle finger spreads as slowly as possible in addition , keepin my venin entry point lower than the height where my heart is slowed it further ... All this from years upon years of playin/ messin around with these hazardous/dangerous wild animals AND loads and loads of documentaries from the Discovery channel and Nat geo wild ... just ask Danny , Wing , Alan or even my wife , they'll tell ya .
Next and i guess that's the Natural reaction for most people when they realise that they're no longer in any imminent danger . i asked My experts , Wing and Esther " hey guys , Prupremier [ shortform ] eggstra covers ambulance anot har ? " and they BOTH gave me a very REassuring absolutely Bro ! No worries . " at which point i pat myself gently on the chest with my left hand and said in my mind " heng1 LorLorLor ", relieving my grip of my right wrist cos our very own Paramedic from the Singapore Armed Forces Medical Corps did such a Beautiful job restricting the blood flow with his very own version of a Tornique [ a Terra-tie he used .. think that's what Young Master Wing called it ] i Received very good feedback for the way it was tied BOTH at the hospital AND on enroute in the ambulance .. Wing , you shud possibly patent this tying style ???
But that's what people do , don't they ? They wanna know how much $$KACHINK$$ the situation or their affliction is gonna cost them .
To this an EXverydear friend said " Don't talk shop man bro " , should've said "you ok , my brudda ?" know he would've 3 year's ago but that was 3 years' back ... peeps change ... shit happens too , what's next ?? cows flyin' ?...
i wished i had the insensitivity he had , so i could reply " Don't talk C+
Got rushed back to the mainland and i gotta say this , the cruisers the coastal police use are extremely fast !!! we reached singapore in a little over 10 minutes perhaps ! this coverin a distance spanning at least 45 minutes by our normal boats .
Went To hospital , realised to my horror that B1 has NO aircon , iirc . , i cannot survive ... some of you readin may think me a Spoilt Brat ... but truth be told .. you'd spoil early to in this tropical climate if you were wearin my weight . SoOoOoOo ... A1 class it had to be ... But what an absolutely wonderful experience it turned out to be ... My very own bed , Tv , an additional bed [ $30/night iirc . ] , MY very own shower area , toilet , Picturesque view and nightly " what would you like to have for your meals tomorrow Mr Chiew ? " .
Got some pictures taken , HOPE wingman can help me post in my Blog *hints hints*
*winks winks *
So on the whole my 3 nights' stay was actually fully subsidised and i didn't haveta worry about payment , now that's one and TWO ... This incident might actually serve as a real life experience for some of us to show our clients what this job really DESCRiBES .
[ talkin shop again .. yea ...i'm abashed ... But i guess it's indeed so much easier when u needn't worry about earning money much less planning expenditure SINCE at anytime if any situation happens ... situations such as ..and purely a fictional example ... i must stress " well lets modify my car today ". you merely need to stretch out your hand and miraculously there'll be fools willing to loan the desired amount ."
Guess it IS true when they say there's a sucker born every minute ! Suckers like me who don't wanna burden/ leech / parasite off anyone and whom in turn are in a position to offer help to these clever ones , financial and/or otherwise and whom also coincidentally believe old quotes like " a li'l hard work never killed anyone ". RoFlmFao .
"As a man sows ... so he shall Reap "
Thank you Dear Centipede ...*frowns Briefly* *then continues* for the $375 reimbursement , and quite possibly ... the tens of thousands of dollars the rest of my famille will earn in the comin months with the pictures and personal experience we'll have from now on .
BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE ... i'm still a little angry with ya ... it hurt .
SoOoooo .. with that $375 , some of us are gonna get some equipment , rent a boat .... and return to the island to return the favor to you and your eighty eight thousand siblings residing on the island . Our dad's are gonna be soOoOo glad just thinkin of ALL that medicinal value .....
Right , E ?

Public apology #1 ... OF MANY TO COME I"M SURE !!!
Yesterday was the first day of the chinatown roadshow , 's been a longtime since we had one ... 3 weeks ? Certain things i've had to do yesterday that i wasn't very proud of ... so i'm sorry to you fellas if i seem harsh , especially so on the twins .
Especially so when by comparison i seem to be so patient to the two new young ladies in our family . reason's cos people are GENERALLY gentler and more patient on the ladies , especially so in sales .
That's why u guys have to put in that much more extra effort and determination to be champions in our line ... May not be true ... just MY opinion from MY own experiences . Make no mistake to the ladies readin this ... i ain't sayin' you gals have it easy ..HELL NO !!! success takes EFFORT AND DETERMINATION NO matter how you look . well ... Believe it or not ... so does Failing . in fact this is one strange line where i see people who look ... well ... challenged do better than their pretty/beautiful / haMsome counterparts ... go figure !! LOL.

Hands are tied !!!
Hands are tied yet Gloves be off , my man ! In the wee hours of the morning on 26th , sunday , roundabout say ... i unno ... .12 ? i went down to meet what might be the next brother to acquire the legendary and highly coveted occuli .
The namesake of my fave character during the war of the 3 kingdoms called me not later than 2 hours ago on saturday night and asked if i was free .. well ... how could i answer? LOL ! ... i'm never really busy cos my work's just ALL PLAY and yet i'm never really free cos i'm constantly seeking new toys and bretheren / sisters to play said toys with and new playpens to play them in .
Not unlike his namesake , whom i pray to fervently in my visits to the temple as do so many triads all over the world because in my line of work these days this GOD's qualities are a rare and priceless trait sought by so many a good leader in these tumultous times . i've always had a very good impression of this young man .. Yet just as was foreseen AND foretold the inevitable happened and thus i can't say i was surprised even a little though in retrospect i should've been .
The rest of the family , however , were a little bit surprised that he picked me instead of so many others to call ....to that i say this [ guys .. i think he was seeking not me ... but a way out of this vicious cycle .. and those eyes we sometimes leak ] .. i'm glad he's now training with and under one of our school's finest thus far .
So long since i last played the role of executor in the mmRLrpg we play daily .. how i envy you , tenchin .
Few words to this new addition too ,
In Buddhism , the road to Nirvana is a long and Tedious one , taking several lifetimes too , BUT !!! what we're offerin doesn't come remotely close to that ... yet it's arguably .. EnLigTenMent too ... to a certain extent .. you will realise , understand , take charge and be ultimately responsible for your actions and life henceforth .OH THE POWER !!!!!!!!
Knowledge cannot be given , even forcibly given ... it must be sought . And there exists NONE more blind than they who would not see nor deaf they who would not listen . From hereon out ... look but start to see ... and listen .. so you might Hear .
A nice ol' man once told me , " seek and ye shall find , knock and it would be open to you . " , quoting the bible , perhaps he was ?
The great teacher lord Buddha said : Neither rain , nor hail , nor fire nor time can erase your merits in life .
Learn your lessons well , young one ... and i hope your pushups are slowing down as much as you can get them too .. .cos that way ... the arms will grow in size .... wats this gotta do with anything? .... i unno ... just seems like a good idea at the time ! it's MY goddam blog dagnabit !!!!!

The Tasks Force Manager / Operations Chief-to-be / terranus nullius , the upcomin manager , the newly indicted TENCHINS and of course .. yours truly .
we watched as The masters share of THE great secret till around 10pm , long day it's been ... LOL . Made our way home and decided to go relax with a clubbin session ... long time overdue man ..
Drank some wine under my block and set off for Clarke Quay roundabout 12 .
We danced , drank indulgingly , casting all cares and concerns on how we were gonna wake up the next morn to go to work .. we knew we just would ... so why bother with the " how " . Tenchin went to the toilet and when he came back he pulled me to a side and said : Law of attraction !?!?!? Law of attraction right !?!?!? then passed me a wad of cash ... he said after we watched THE great secret in office i kept repeatin to myself " i want cash , i want cash ..."
