A Personal Diary : Apotheosis of Maya ? [ Day 2 ]

[Guest guest]

Tuesday, 17th, 2000hrs

 

We were slightly late. Came in about 2020hrs. Caught in traffic Jam.

Mr. XX was already there at the entrance of the seminar room waiting

for us [Mrs. XX and me. My husband couldn't make as he claim it

is his turn to take care of our daughter. Suddenly it becomes his

turn, how amazing husbands can be sometimes] He handed three tickets

to the receptionist at the door. I managed to get a glance at it. The

tickets are not free.

 

There are a lot of people in there. All the seats taken. Several

people [men as well as the women] all in black business suit standing

at strategic point. Looking very smart and professional. A well-

dressed lady was in a middle of the presentation. The same one that I

heard on Sunday at Mr. & Mrs. XX house. For a Malay, she speaks

English well, I whispered to Mrs. X who was sitting next to me.

"Oh! She is a psychiatrist," remarked Mrs. XX. "She gave up

her job to

do full time in this business"

 

I look in amazement. So how many other professionals are there who

give up their jobs to do a full time in this business? I wondered.

 

Next Product Presentation. A cosmetic product supposedly one of the

top products in the market inline with Lancôme, Shesido

[apologized I am never good with cosmetic, so I can't really remember

their names] etc. The presenter asked for a volunteer, nobody come

forward. Any one she said, we like to have a new comer. Her eyes roam

about the room. And then! How about that lady in red with the long

black hair sitting over there. All eyes turn to look at me. Oh! My

god! Why me? Anyway I survive this one. Phew! I just have to use my

hand to try out and not my face.

 

Then comes the successful story. They showed us a video presentation

of their previous business seminar. Looks very grand and was held at

one of the five star hotel. They were showing all the successful

business directs receiving their awards. The diamond award, the

rubies award etc. The Diamonds Awards recipients come in with Car

chauffeured into the main stage. How they even get the car in there

fascinates me.

 

I watched the whole video presentation. I see a lot of happy faces. A

lot of happiness. People clapping and jumping with joy. They were

showing a big diamond sign. Somehow the whole scene reminds me of the

Christian Healing Gatherings that they usually held at the stadium.

Interesting don't you think?

 

Thereafter followed by another successful story, this time couples

[how interesting, they encourage husband and wife to be actively

involved in this business scheme] to come up the stage. More like a

confession session to me. Why do they leave their professional job to

pursue with this business opportunity? I listen to each and every one

of them. Each have a different story to tell but all are telling me

the same thing: They want to have financial freedom and not wanting

to be others' slave. And I observe they always close their speech

with "You should attend the coming seminar. We have a

distinguish

couple from USA who have really made it big. You can learn from

them. "

 

 

Mr. XX introduced me to one of the Diamonds recipients. Supposedly a

very successful employee of a multi national company, A CEO [about 50

++] I was told, who left his job because he too don't want to be

a

slave to the company and have found his financial freedom. " So

do

you believe the figure" The ex CEO asked me. "Well the

figures look

impressive. That's about it" I remarked. He laughed and said

"maybe

we should make appointment and I will come to your house and talk to

your husband and you together personally".

 

"Yes how wonderful, that will nice". I gave him one of my

biggest

grins. Its not always I have an ex CEO coming to my house for

dinner. After all this are successful people. As they say, if you

want to be successful, mixed with successful people, and you will be

one of them one day.

 

" So what do you think?" Asked Mr. XX during our drive back

home.

 

"Not sure" I responded. I was feeling rather disturbed from

what I

have seen. " Have a lot of questions, maybe I will get the

answers

later on."
