"Goreng" days

Had a good time catching up with 2 of my ex-salesguy friends over biryani and teh tarik at a joint called Teh Tarik. One of them, an Indian, has already graduated from post graduate studies with a MBA. He is a jolly jovial person whose laughter can be heard from blocks away. He is an ideal sales person, because he can talk and smile sweetly, a fun guy. He was the one who attended dharma teaching with me once, as he has great respect for the Buddha. He is very localised, a very untypical Indian, I would say. I even think he was a Chinese in his past life,because, well, he is very Chinese in many ways. Haha!

The other sales guy is still in my ex-company, and doing well with his sales projects and product which is selling like hot cakes now. Like all sales people, we are all looking for better opportunities if and when the times are better. We recalled all the fun sales meetings we had in the past, being grilled and "goreng" hard by our beloved boss and we imitated all his anecdotes. In a way, we have learned the stressful selling cycle of sales and marketing in a fun way and with the company of a great team. Those were the days, my friends.
