The Longest Day

Last week, i went for a sales coaching class. For the whole 5 days, we have to go for guelling coaching, sales call, presentation and etc...sheesh..never studied like this before..during my uni days...but now i know how i studied in accounting ratios in those A-level days...to convince the audience on TCO and ROI...
One of my team member is a thailand dude..just graduated 3 month ago and joined the company as a management trainee. It was a trying time to work with that dude..i feel like bashing his face with his thinkpad...He seems to be oblivious of the surrounding but acted like he knows everything..Goshh...glad that was over..btw, he's favorite song is Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby...wtf!! That was like ages ago...during my UPSR days probably..the white wannabe rapper era...New Kids on The Block was the pioneer of boy band revolution..somebody should kill them...they've done so much harm to the music industry..the emergence of boy band like 4U2C for instance..with CD necklace..what are they thinking?? In western, the likes of Blue, Backstreet Boys and West to name a few...and what they do in video clips..singing while walking in the back alley..with rain falling...showing off their 6 pack..it's a sure win formula to all girls...make me wanna puke...
Coming back to my 1 week training..one of the facilitator was an old looking chinese guy..he seemed to be a seasoned seller with the gray hair and huge frame glasses..old skool type dude..which was true in a way...most of my colleague prayed not to get him in the sales calls...he was so adamant to discuss everything based on the text given...come on...we're not mind reader damn it!!
After training wrap up on friday..i went back and watched Kingdom of Heaven..don't want to comment on the movie..but in a way..i'm happy how Ridley Scott portrayed Saladin's persona...my good friend recently went to Middle East and mentioned a German King sent a coffin after Saladin's death..sorta a "good riddance" note..coz he's a formidable leader in war..

Anyway, went to Johnny's for a quick tom-yam steamboat..tried a vegetarian meat. It was chewy like meat but smelled like petai...kinda cool...the best of both world...then we went around Alamanda..bought 2 book for myself...to fill time during the weekend...i wonder when my wife would finished the shopaholic book..it's been sitting on the sofa and side table for a very very long time..untouched..Now i kinda hooked with Dale Carnegie self help book and Dan Brown thriller" Angels and Demons"...he's now my favorite author..other than Eoin Colfer from the Artemis Fowl series..these 2 author are very good at blending latest technology in their storyline..and one just can't put down the book after started reading it...am not into JK Rowling or Cussler..don't know why...
We cameback later that night..i'm eager to start reading the book..hopefully i can finish it off during the weekend..but then the unthinkable happened..rashes start popping out on my legs and arms..crap!! What the heck happened..my deary suggested the vegie meat we tried during dinner..which i think quite true coz we've been eating there quite alot and nothing happened..so i end up scratching myself the whole night on bed...there goes my dream weekend..sigh
