Fail Ad on a Saturday.

There is a leaflet, one of those ads they put in between the newspaper. It is coloured, with readable font and understandable enough. From what I gather is that it is for those interested in getting passive income from...wait for it...within the comfort of your house through E-Shopping. The product/service can be whatever we wish to sell as long as they are everday product(food/beverages/housewares etc) Basically, this "company" acts as an agent to deliver the product(within 24 hours!) and of course, you make money from referral too.

Sounds like a good idea. Malaysia is a bit behind in the E-Shopping era. I don't think we have the groceries from the internet just yet but there is a demand. So, hey. Bring it on, right?

The problem I have with this advertisement is that there are too much facts but lack of communication.

1. The "where" input on the ad says one of the largest retailers in the world. Sounds impressive but there's no actual name of this largest retailer. Smart, right? Super smart.

2. It says E-shopping. But there is no URL to this said site.

3. The best part of it all is that, there is no name of company whatsoever on the laflet. None at all. Meaning I can't even google it because it is a pointless ad.

There is, of course, a phone number.The only way for inquiries is to call this Zainun person.

If say they slipped in 200 leaflets on Saturday and 100 people were interested on the same day. Is Zainun going to be by the phone at all times answering to 100 calls and inquiries which will take up to at least an average of 10 minutes of conversation? In that 10 minutes, how many people will redirected to a voicemail because Zainun could not pick it up?

Wouldn't it be more efficient if they just have a website and post the url on the as? The website will have all the basic information and then, the contact number/email for further questions. I think a sense of trust can be formed from actually seeing the e-shopping site. Or at least know who the hell they are.

I am a marketing major but I think a thirteen year old selling her home made hairbands know more about this than Zainun ever will.

Hence, I think this "company" is full of bull crap and another ethnic attempt at multilevel marketing.

I shall now end my ranting and take my time to get over how stupid the advertisement was.

Well, I don't update this blog as much because, yes I know, I'm utterly horrible at fiction. I shall now revamp this space as the "What I Wanna Say, You Can Fark Off If You Don't Like It" space. As if we don't have enough of those already. So, yes. Maybe I'll squeeze a story of two in between but for now, I'm leaving the creative amazing storytelling to my other half, Shahriman Latif. :)

Here is my formspring , leave little notes if you wish. Anon or not.

I shall now wish a Good Weekend and a Happy December!

"I love you, sayang. See you later."

Her husband leaned forward to kiss her goodbye. She watches as he drove away, for work. She sighs, alone again. She walks towards the baby room, slowly. Her heart heavy, dreading. Little Faris, barely three weeks old, in his crib. Wearing his red baby clothing, knitted by her mother. Her husband have changed him, before breakfast. She watches, as Faris on cue, starts to whimper.

Feeding time. Again.

She closes her eyes as she she gingerly picks him up. She caught a reflection of herself, holding the baby and she froze. Strange, the word she would use to describe it. Her baby, smells of roses and sweetness. She gags. She sat on the sofa, preparing to breastfeed her child. Her child. She has a child, a baby. She winced as he starts to suckle. She curses her breasts for producing milk. She curses the pedetrician, her mother, her husband and her mother for making her do such as a barbaric act

This will make you bond more, they said.

And she wonders if that will ever be a reality.
