it's all about the benjamins

*lunchtime: moby gets a phone call from old-friend-he-hasn't-seen-in-ages (ofhhsia)*

moby: hello!
ofhhsia: hey hi! how've you been? i haven't seen you in ages!
moby: yeah man! it's been years...what's up?
ofhhsia: where're you? working?
moby: no, i'm going to have lunch now...why?
ofhhsia: oh ok...cuz i'm actually somewhere near your office...
moby: oh cool...how long you going to be there?
ofhhsia: i should be there the whole day...wanna do coffee later?
moby: sure!
ofhhsia: ok...i'll pick you up. seeya later!
moby: cheers. =)


*ofhhsia picks up moby from office*

ofhhsia: so where you wanna go?
moby: how about we go to adam road?
ofhhsia: ok...so have you seen blah blah blah... *continues normal old friends conversation*
moby: yeah, we're actually playing mahjong tonight...blah blah blah...


*adam road food centre*

ofhhsia: so how's work?
moby: it's alright lah...could be better, but then again, who's really truly happy with their job right? hahaha...
ofhhsia: haha...yeah, true...i've also been thinking and stuff...so i took on some other stuff outside of work...
moby: oh ok...what's that?
ofhhsia: it's actually a company doing some online sales in stuff...i wanna see if you think it works...
moby: err...ok...what's it about?
ofhhsia: oh, it's very simple...people always need to buy groceries right? so we are just providing an online version for them to buy their stuff...with delivery and all...
moby: err...ok...isn't that already something a lot of companies are doing already?
ofhhsia: yeah, but we're working directly with the manufacturers, so we cut down on the middle man...kinda like what dell is doing...
moby: oh ok...sounds quite feasible...
ofhhsia: i'm glad you like it...cuz i'm very excited about it...and guess what? we're looking out for new partners for this thing...all you need to do is to register for a training program on how to market this concept to people...you're interested right?
moby: err...
ofhhsia: great! i'll bring the forms for you tomorrow...
moby: err...
ofhhsia: pretty soon, you can start looking for your own partners too...
moby: err...
ofhhsia: and oh yeah, there's a small registration fee of S$68...
moby: ohhhhh...err...let me think about it ok?
ofhhsia: sure, no problem, i'll call you to check tomorrow...
moby: great. hey, i gotta go...the guys are coming over to play mahjong already...

*moby finishes coffee and leaves*


hey, at least i gave him face by not rejecting him outright...as i would normally do to those pesky insurance people who call at all times of the day (i actually had one call me at 10pm before). but it's just hard when you've known the person for so long...

i'm seriously very disappointed...it's all about the benjamins now.
