That 28th of November

OMG! 3 more days till the Baskin Robbins promotion for the CHOCOHOLICS ends and i haven't got one of the chocolate trilogy yet. I can't believe myself even. Must go tomorrow, must go tomorrow.

Back to the topic, today can be one of my weirdest day in the month, or maybe in half a year or so, whatever la, today is a weird day.

Why?
Me and my other two teammates met up with this Dato' that wanted to look for people to manage his newly acquired company that sells Pitaberry, a health drink innovation from Pitaya fruit( the picture look like dragon fruit)(http://www.pitaberry.com/)

So we went there for an intention to actually get sponsorship for the conference happening next week.

He started off fine, telling us about the new branding that he wants to do for Pitaberry and so on. Then of course we try to push on the sponsorship, then he started telling us his life story, started off poor, selling supper when he was studying in TARC, then finish and moved to Sabah, so on.

Casual conversation took on for more than half an hour asking us where are we from and try to relate to each of each..

Then we tried talking again about the sponsorship. lol. at the moment, i thought that would never end. However, he agreed to our offer plus 30cartons of drinks(he insist of 30 even though my friend say 20 is sufficient) but confirmation letter need to be submitted and so on. But that's not the end.

We were invited to have tea with him in Winter Warmers, quite a nice place. We went there first, waited for him. After about 30 mins, he came with a couple of friends, A lady, Judy, Recruiter for oil and gas industries, a divorcee, David, in oil and gas industry in S'pore(has a strong patriotism towards his own country and keep asking us to work in S'pore instead), and Bernard, the quiet printing guy.

I personally feel Judy has her own substance through conversation, and i thought that was the only meaningful conversation I had in that whole 3 hours other than trying to get sponsorship.

Anyway through the tea, let me highlight a few stuff that still cracks me up when I think about it, the Dato' mention he bought 11 advertisement billboards around KL and PJ, multimedia, 18 hours a day, every 20 seconds to promote Pitaberry numerous time, specifically 18 hours, every 20 seconds! lol.

Then he came up with the idea of putting the pictures of OUR faces, then cut and paste only the eye part( he did funny movement with his hand, and i was sitting beside and can't laugh) all over billboard and let people guess who are we and win plasma TV! lol.

hah. there's so much more that i couldn't even remember. he talk so much that sometimes i got drifted off, and I'll just nod. and say "yea, yes, that's a good idea".

Anyway hopefully he's for real and won't bail out. After all he's going to "make NLDS happen!".

Ah, tomorrow is going to pack, and Friday will be attending a youth forum( part of the agenda for UNICEF first national AIDS conference).

Maybe will blog after that on what happen.

Goodnight. =)
