Well, it's been a while since my last post, not sure when is that. Been preoccupied with my work in NRIC, TOT and Rukun Negara really make me hectic nowadays, the URL speak for itself. Huh, miss this blog so much, my very own bloggy...heheheee.
Well, as a start, a big HAPPY 20TH BELATED BIRTHDAY TO YOU EDUARD EDWIN. I should have written these words in my blog a few days ago, but only now that I have find the time needed to write in it, or the time needed to write a new blog. I'm celebrating it with a few surprises here and there and word of encouragement from my mother: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY SON. Semoga Tuhan memberkati dan memberi engkau kebijaksanaan. I LOVE YOU". These words make my day, and this is the first time she ever said this to me. I LOVE YOU TOO MUM, the strongest person I have ever known. GOD BLESS YOU TOO. And that day is the happiest day ever for me. Hope with a year older (uwaaaaaaa...) I'll get a lot wiser and be able to do so many great things and God Bless Me, AMEN.
On a happier (maybe sad) note, I get to know what happened to SYN, which stands for Steven Yeam Network, the corporate institution that I joined (once) with the hope that I could get through these economic recession and more importantly, I don't have to work for money, instead people work for me. Sounds familiar enough??? If you're thinking about MLM (Multi-Level-Marketing), then 10 points for you. Yup, it's all network marketing, but it's different from door-selling (which is horrible...really) and although the marketing plan is difficult (yet attractive), many have five-figure income once they attained the Marques status. Hmmm...want to know more what I'm talking about???
SYN stands for Steven Yeam Network (or as we say it "Sexy, Young and Naughty", generally because they're all still young and pretty much sexy, and naughty, myself included) is an independent team of distributors (Network Marketer) founded under the vision and leadership of Arch Duke Steven Yeam. With almost 20 years of network marketing exposure and experience under his belt, he has successfully created the biggest and most influential movement which manifests through SYN, in the network marketing industry throughout South East Asia. They revolutionizes the network marketing industry with the induction of a Pay Forward System, not sure what that means and I don't understand it, still. During the course of this organization, they have helped a lot of people to achieve success, donate to a lot of people, helping to make the world a better day, because of their motto: "We Care". Want to know more? Google DCHL and you'll find the answers.
Reality is, world doesn't always worked like that. They are a lot of good stuffs and bad one too. Some people who joined them do achieve success, but others like me, that's what they called "dead" (or mati in Malay). We joined them in the hope that after we graduated, we would become a Marques, or Duke, and then we could help people too. We paid a lot and we hope that we are able to withstand any challenges that comes ahead. But some, on their way to success, like me, falls out, cut off and hopeless. The once dream that I had was no longer there to keep me alive. Because when I joined them, I act before I think. Because I was afraid of them, that they gonna cut me off. I was freshman at that time, being alone in a new territory, friends are essential. So I had to do it, but face the consequences up to this day. But I can't denied I had a great time with them; they're the best friends I've ever had, up until today. They taught me things I've never known before. But I'm not into these things anymore, okie? I'm done. I'm just not cut out for business. To think like one, everybody can do that, but to act like one? It's going to take a little bit more than just dream; passion, great will, leadership capabilities. I try to asked my friends but I failed. Now damages done, no can undo. But I'm happy with things nowadays. Found my peace too, hmmm...
On my birthday, I got to found out what happened to them, as well as the rest of my once sidelines too. August 2009: Arch Duke Steven Yeam announced that he's going to form a new company, similar to DCHL (Digital Crowns Holding Limited - SYN very own umbrella) but different in business strategies, titles, marketing plan. Not only network marketing is the main core of business, but also online business, and hmm...forgot the rest, but as far as I know they are 5 main business core of this company, including the aforementioned one. And guess what's the name? 1Company. But it doesn't have nothing in common with Dato Najib concept of 1Malaysia, or so it seems. He claimed he thought about it WAY before Najib became Prime Minister. So when Najib sits on the throne, Steven introduced the company to all the SYN members during that August NDO (which stands for New Distributor Orientation, an important part of the organization, a complete exposure of the company and how to become an effective network marketer). I don't know if these are true or not; I'm "dead" anyway, but I can guess they don't like to see their capable and respected leader walk away from his own team and DCHL. Well, if Steven Yeam walked away, they're always gonna be someone who's replacing him, and I'm thinking of Duke Winnie (the Winner's team - I was on her team once), but from what I heard, he's taking other leaders too off DCHL into his new company. So, think, if the main pillar of power has gone, they're always gonna be someone to be the other pillar of power provided that they still there, but if all the capable and future pillar of powers has been taken away, what do you think would happen to the other small pillar of power or all those Marques, Count, Baron and Franchisee?
Well, they're in the mess right now. Some still hold on to this business and believe there are still a bit of hope to recover but generally, many have stopped doing it, or at least temporarily hold on. Lost. Hopeless. Just like I was. I don't know the state of their mess, but this word describes it all: chaotic. Kucar-kacir, berterabur. From what I heard, Steven Yeam (ex Arch Duke) tried to lure them back together into the new companies. But it's gonna be very hard for him. He's expanding into Penang as well, open a new office on mainland side of Penang. For those who are still in this business, it's be gonna extremely hard for them, considering that there are no more NDOs (I heard so), hence training of the new distributors, if they managed to get one, have to be postpone or even if they tried too, they lack the former glory of orientation they once have, with all the leaders went away. Hmm...sad to think about it...even though I have, well, "dead", I still love them and miss them so much. Even though they are no longer in this business together - my upline is in Kelantan right now, medical study, my up-up-upline involved with all these photography thing, and the rests just stop or temporarily hold on - they still gather together, at that one place I favour a lot, Gee Tomyam. And boy, how much I miss being able to stay up until 3 o'clock in the morning at Gee and sit there talking nonsense, just enjoying our time together. Hmmm...seriously I miss them. And the reason I didn't contact my upline? I was ashamed that I got out from this business, ashamed that I cannot do better and to prove to him that I can do well in this business. Now, I'm starting to miss them
Well, that's all I'm gonna said now. I didn't said that this business is bad, but some people are just not cut out for this kind of business, or for business in general. Some have great things going on for them, they're just gonna have to search for that subtle signs. Others have the abilities to do whatever they wanted to do (I'm not talking about Heroes); it depends on which side of the road that you choose. Some, like me, are still certain of what they wanted to do in life, but are still searching for the other roads, to seek other great opportunities, one that carved out the best in me and make me a better person. I hold on to my sister's word: learn from mistakes. History tends to repeat if you keep doing the same thing all over again........
ZZZZZZZZ...
