feeling like a fool
woke up at 5:30am today to go to malaysia in the morning to play golf, i really didn't see what was about to happen later in the day after we had our dinner.
i got so little sleep the night before that i really couldn't concentrate on my game today... i missed about 8 two-feet putts!! how dumb is that. i was really like a zombie playing golf! i played 49-44 and finished 93 so sad... after golf, we had dimsum lunch at the hotel side... the four of us (my parents, my brother and i) ate until we were so full and it cost only RM60 !! left the club and went home by woodlands checkpoint, at least it was not hot today!
in the evening, i went to town with my parents for dinner. i had chicken rice AGAIN! argh im getting kinda sick of it already man... its the forth time i had chicken rice in a week! gosh. after eating, i dragged my parents around looking for a pair of board shorts for myself. i went to pacific plaza for a look but didn't find anything that appealed to me. as we were walking out of pacific plaza, i remembered that i saw something nice at wisma atria so we decided to take a walk there.
BUT as we were walking outside lido, there was this fucking fat shit who came along and said that she had some peel and win cupons that are eligible for people who are above 30 (or something like that i cant remember) and are married. my parents were eligible so they just took 2 and peeled. one said that we won either a $20 tangs voucher or 2 movie tickets at lido and the other one said "digital camera or 7 day free trip to thailand". that "promoter" or rather "con-woman" said "are you always so lucky? the digital camera is so rare you are very lucky that you have won that! I'm also very happy that you have won it as for every digital camera won under my name i get $50! i can even treat you haagen dazs icecream!" i hope she will rot in hell for lying to us and cheating us of our time. so it ended up that we "won a digital camera and a 7 day trip to thailand". i guess we were greedy and decided to part with our 90 minutes (that ended up to be 3 hours) and sleep through the thing.
after saying that crap to us, she led us to the lift at shaw towers to get to their office. at the office, we were led into some hall that has the aircon at freezing temperatures and also blares damn loud music. i think that's their tactic to pressurize people into parting with their money to join their stupid membership. when we sat down, another "sales representative" came to talk to us about the benefits and what not. this sales rep was like so proud that she was a divorcee and stuff, keep talking about her 2 children from her first marriage and about her coming marriage in december. i think she's a fucking slut who change husbands like changing clothes. she kept stalling for time when we asked how much the membership was saying stuff like "wait while i explain the benefits before i tell you the price". at the end of like 3 hours of waiting and probing for the price, she finally told us it was $29000 for a standard membership. i was like WTF?! with that money i can go buy 3 more memberships for my club in malaysia.
after telling her that the price was a concern, she came up with another "price plan". it was a "today only" thingie that sounds dubious right from the start. firstly, it costs $16000. next, the benefits for the gold membership seems to be better than that of the standard membership. what kind of legitimate business would have such kind of offers? its like 9pm at night, how can they expect people to make a decision to part with $16000 just like that? somemore its like a lifetime membership. i doubt that the company will stay open even for the next two years man... the divorcee sales rap then brought us to a computer teminal to show us their website to see what their company is doing and stuff and finally showing us a website to prove that their company was not a fraud. the web site was http://www.bbb.org. its not even a singaporean site how the fuck can they expect us to trust them? whats more its like $16000 and not $1.60 . i totally hate it when people say that things were "today only" just like those ang mo kio handphone shops. those fuckers at those handphone shops will be like "you sure you want to buy ah? they then will quote some rediculously low price and say that its for today only". then if you go home to think over it and decide to get it the next day, they will pretend that they don't know anything about the low price that they quote and laugh at you.
after sitting in for three hours, i realized that their "digital camera" was actually a cheapskate digital camera that i think costs less than $3. the resolution is even lousier than the camera i have on my phone and it does not even have a display screen. and their 7 day trip to thailand required us to give a $45 "booking fee" per person. i bet that if the $180 was sent there for my whole family to go, the $180 would be gone and lost forever. so, my parents have decided to not send anything there as they are like so dubious. after i left the hall, i saw the boss of the place at the lift lobby and kicked the dustbin loudly to show him that im pissed at him for wasting my time. i wonder if there would be some crazy guy who get so pissed with them and end up burning down their office... hmmm... oh yeah, thank goodness my parents were not brain-washed by them and decide to part with their $16000... WHEW!
next time, if such fuckers approach me again telling me that i won stuff that they wont give exact details and instead just give vague ideas, i would give them a warning before accepting, see if they would change their minds hehehe.. i would say something like "if i discover that you lied to me and i see you again i will chop your whole family" hehehe. jkjk, i would probably just try to avoid them so that there wouldn't be another repeat of such incidents.
anyway, lesson learnt. i would never ever believe such stuff again... there is no free lunches in this world.
