So last night, taking a break from revision, this guy talks to me after  like, 3821931493481 years. I must say I don't particularly like him,  which could be an understatement. In every circle of friends and network  of acquaintances, you always see people like him. Overly  self-confident, minimal actual ability, talks too much, does too little,  a general irritating prick.
To give you a rough summary, we were in the same secondary school, same  CCA, and thankfully we're now in different polytechnics. This guy, Fas, a  malay, apparently has "started" his own business, Just Diamonds by  Defred, which uses Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) to expand its business.  And his real motive in talking to me (second time so far), I believe, is  to recruit me. And I know this because TOFU has likewise been  approached, and tricked into visiting the Recruiting Headquarters.

Giant     and by that i mean being cautious
Fas     I'm off
Fas     See you
These head-in-the-clouds, get-rick-quick schemes never work, and are never sustainable. Just mention "Ponzi Scheme" and see how his tone changed for a bit. Seriously, wake up and don't get uppity with me, fool.
