Message of The Day

I sworn once long long time ago never to sit through another time share presentation which promote cheap hotel and resort stay around the world. And there I was, sitting though a 2hr presentation by a time share company last night.

I was burnt badly before. Humiliated, teased at and u name it.. It's donkey years ago but I remember it clearly. I was shopping with a girl friend when someone ask us to take part in a survey with a lucky draw. We were made to believe that we won something and had to just collect the prize nearby. To cut the old wives tales short, we sat through a 90 min unpleasant mental torture and got a lousy gift. As I had just finish my guard duty that day, I sat there like an idiot with the sales person poking fun at me. Since then I sworn to stay away from time share presentations and give hell to sales people who didn't understand the word NO.

I hate the under hand method that they used to push thier program. I was young and ignorant but not anymore.

Back to last night. The lady was pleasant enough and knew when to back off when I said no. At least it's not like those low class time share company which uses hard selling methods. The staff were very professional and understanding. I'm amazed throughout the presentation. Talk about being a well known brand in the hotel industry, they sure carry themselves well.

When it came to the price of the whole package, I'm stunned as well. It's many times the amount I'm earning. Peanuts to them but it's sure a huge amount for me.

A poor man like me, couldn't afford such an expensive lifestyle. Maybe a few years down the road when I'm more financially stable then I'll explore this option again.
