Vanity Fact #3 - Time and Life

On my way home, i heard this saying..

We have a general mindset of how life should be..
birth -> baby -> childhood -> teenage -> youth -> adult -> mid-life -> senior -> elderly -> death

At every stage, we can't wait to grow to the next stage
and we always tell ourselves "someday i will do this"
"hopefully, someday i will do that".. "someday~" "someday~"

Until a day, where sickness or unforeseen circumstances strikes...
we say "If only i had did this"
"i wish i have done that"

Most people will tell you that
"i want to live till 60, or some 70, 80"
but do the bees count their days?
do the fishes in the sea and birds in the air count their days?

"Vanity of vanities, all is vanity"
This just remind me of all that Pastor Tan shared in service today.
Vanity - for it is uncontrollable and uncertain

Who can be sure of what is going to happen tomorrow?
For the rain will fall when the clouds are heavy
To be alive is a miracle in itself
Will you be thankful in good times and in bad times?
Will you rejoice in them all, knowing that God is in control
He is the Creator of both Day and Night.

How will you live your life?
Counting your days? or
Trusting God that He is in control and that everything will fall into place according to His time.
There is no one template fits all, when it comes to our life.
one thing i know...
All things works together for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose!

Dorra Slimming Experience Review

Class 95 have been giving out free 2x Dorra Slimming French treatment. I have always been curious about whether these companies are really giving them "FREE". So i decided to give it a try. After sending in the SMS, Dorra Slimming contacted me almost immediately. You won't have to worry that you are not the first to SMS in and you will not win it or etc.

After calling me, they arranged for me to go down to their nearest convenient outlet as soon as possible. No matter how busy you are, they will make sure they arrange a timing with you before you can hang up on them.

I went to the outlet at Kovan. I told them that i only had 1 and a half hours and they say that the treatment will only take an hour and asked me not to worry, then one lady brought me to a consultation room and asked me to wait for awhile. Handing me a form to fill in. The therapist came in and started to explain to me their treatment... then all the different products... then all the available packages and upgrades you can do... still not convinced?

and since you are the 'winner' of this Dorra Slimming from the radio station, you have even more privileges if you upgrade NOW~! Still not convinced? Another senior came in and started all over again... then they took out all the testimonies of the past customers and show them to me one by one... One hour had past from the time i entered the shop and i have not even started my treatment... I told them i am in a rush and had an appointment after this, they say that they will start the treatment.

Finally, i am brought into the treatment room. After taking all the measurements, i am laying on the bed waiting for the treatment to start. The therapist did not for any moment stop trying to convince me to sign up. Asking me why? Why i don't want to give it a try? The 2 treatment will not be enough and the 2 free treatment DOES NOT come with this serum and without the serum, you WILL NOT see results. So if you sign up now, they will upgrade your 2 sessions to have the serum as well.

I was wondering... then what am i doing here now? anyway, she went on and on and on... halfway through, the other senior came in AGAIN! The treatment was not enjoyable at all with them going on and on and on.... They started of with trying to sell me 30, then 20 then 10... going on and on for almost 2 hours now.....

I thought, finally my treatment is finishing and i can rush for my next appointment now... (it's already been 2 and a half hours by this time) After the treatment, i'm back in the consultation room. Then it starts AGAIN!!!!!!! This time the senior tries to make the junior look pitiful, saying that she needs to build her portfolio. Saying that the junior served me very well just now right? I can help her by signing up and becoming part of her portfolio etc. Pleased with me to help her etc.. I told them I AM IN A RUSH!!! but they say they understand... and went on... in the end, i gave in and signed for a 5 sessions. Even with that, i had to bargain with them so that they will give in and let me go...

Seriously, unless you are really willing to go and end up paying that kind of price for slimming treatments... i think the decision is up to you... After leaving, i did my research. I hope i did them earlier but i'm still thankful that i only signed for 5 sessions. I found people who signed for $50K worth of treatments and they still would not let them go during every single treatment sessions they attended.

At the end of the day, i wondered if i 'WON' or i actually 'LOST'... Was there results in the treatment? that did not matter to me anymore because the experience was just unpleasant. I this my worse hard selling experience ever. This is also the reason why i love and cherish those people do business with true sincerity and out of love. :)
