Weird, weird, weird
Lately, hanging out with friends, came across weird people. Very recently, I get my friend to intro me to this A&P guy from a well-known shopping mall… (definitely not a mission to get a date). Even before we start our conversation, he has already turn on, activated his defensive mode. Due to my profession background, very quickly he forms the idea that I want business from him. HARLO! I don’t bug for business at night, not when I’m chilling having fun time at club.
Patiently, I let him finished up his excuses explanations. And then telling him he got the whole idea wrong ‘coz all I wanted is just a call card, which I can contact if we plan to run event at that mall later. In other word, I’m presenting a business opportunity. There and then, he continues with another lengthy conversation telling me the entire do’s and don’t on the shopping mall, asking me to submit proposal, et-cetera, et-cetera…in an environment with super-blaring-loud-music. Oh gosh. Haven’t I make myself clear, I just want a contact. Duhhh… what’s wrong with your listening skill?
Still at the same occasion, this times the lady’s turn. Nothing wrong with the listening skill, just that this lady has got a little extra. The show-off skill. We have just gotten acquainted, and within the next few seconds she tells me she was the Miss Malaysia Petite (199x). I was like…hhmm, wondering what kind of reaction she’s expecting from me. Well, her title most likely works with the guys. Who isn’t proud to have ‘Miss-Something’ as a friend. To me, they are just ordinary human like us, but somehow are gifted and lucky in someway. Just be humble lah,… if people recognize you, they will know who you are. If they don’t, just forget it and stop the self-publicity campaign trying to get attention. Let people value and compliment you from their heart, not when you prompted them to say something nice about you. Notice the BIG difference.
These weird people; never know when you will meet them and see them again.
