Once you start working, insurance agents from all around will start to flock to you. Just like how flies to shit.. eh.. sounds wrong... better analogy would be bees to honey.. much better.
I just can't stand the way they talk to you over the phone. Act friendly until my hair can stand. Aiyoh. Especially when he is your friend, the acquaintance kind. Call and talk to you about things which you are not even interested.
"Hey justin.. how's life? It has been a while since i talked to you man. (when reservist just ended a few weeks ago and I have already talked to him) How about a dinner to catch up ? (what's there to catch up?)
"Hey Justin.. Do you have any policies? I just started work as a financial planner. Tot of asking you out to learn about your policies? (This is a good one la.. but i am not stupid)"
"Hey Justin.. I will be in tampines these few days.. Can meet for dinner... ANyway it's my birthday today.. (Who cares rite? even when you are a female..) "
Sometimes you just have to give face to friends when they ask you out for dinner and you know they are selling policies. You just have to give them face. But they always assume you want to buy from them after the dinner.
One week after the dinner... " Hey justin.. Can we meet tomorrow evening for dinner? So that i can prepare your case. (WHo says i want to buy? i didn't say!)
So my reply is always " Hey ******, I appreciate your time and effort. But I just started work and I have quite a few other commitments as well. So getting a policy won't be my list now. I already have 2 by the way"
Then they will start to tell me all sorts of reason to invest my savings or increase my protection. But seriously, they don't care abt what i want.. they just care abt the money they can earn from me.
Starting to join our malay friends in fasting. So many things to pay for. Road tax, insurance, servicing... Can kill... but... why in the first place rite? suck thumb... And starting to learn more about taking good photos... Going to get a DSLR soon before i go travelling. Good shots to make good memories.
