For the 1st time in my life, i did something really outrageous... Its not because i am proud of it thus i am writing it down. Instead this is one of the cheapest method that i can convey in brief details pertaining to my earlier action, i know you people expect an explaination from me. I cant afford to talk on phone for too long, it costs me SGD7.00 for a merely 1 minute of air-time.
It is for standing bail purpose!!! These persons are someone whom have a certain impact in me, that why i am doing all these for them. I owned it to them...
The total excluding legal fees is exactly 20K (SOLVED) + 30K. This sum is many times beyond my miserable 4K + 10K (unsure if it can make it by Fri morning) which is meant for engaging learned profession but i used it for the same purpose anyway... as i am unable to raise the required amount. Just make-do with it first... other things later then say ba! I must make it in time by Friday before this sum increases... that explains my urgency!
Yes, i am still short of afew thousands: 5K + 5K + 3K + 3K + 1K = 17K - 5 people who can make it in time by Thursday.
The reason why i am avoiding 1K loan! Even if I am able to find 10 willingly soul to lend me 1K, it means that i had to deal with alot of individuals and this will eventually add on to my already many headaches. And should anything happens, how am i going to cope with 16 persons? I cant even imagine how am i going to answer their questions... hahahaha, tear my ass into halves also POK ah! Thats why i am requesting for 5K max and 3K min.
Salesman did cold calls seeking for business but at the end of their agreement, there will be a final product.
I made cold calls but the end product is nothing, an almost equivalent empty verbal affirmation from me. To those few people whom i had approached and happens to know of my blog. You deserve to know what happen in full details when i am back to Singapore and face you in person.
I understand the risk that you guys are gambling, rest assure that i will try my very best to make this happen!
SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL OF YOU!

Conversation during cold calls
- Friend 1: Your hard earn money is always to help others?! (Bite my tongue)
- Friend 2: Are you joking with me? (Bite my tongue)
- Friend 3: OK, How to transfer? (Comfort)
- Friend 4 : OK sure let you know. (Comfort)
- Friend 5: OK. Dun worry. I'll try. (Comfort)
- Friend 6: OK. Sorry that i cant help much. Need to return my parents. (Funniest- Opps!)
- Friend 7 & 8: Paiseh! I really Bo Bian (Understand as they just start their business)

This lesson makes me understand many things.
(1) One can go down to their extreme for people whom they hold so dear in exchange to see them smile and be together once again.
(2) A wide network of friends did help during bad times, i manage to get loan from people whom i didnt even meet up twice per year.
(3) 'Lan Lan' and still stay polite when you ask for financial help and got slap by their words.
(4) Never ask for money, find all ways to STAY RICH!
(5) Await pay-back time. :p

Aside to my colleagues, should i make a silent return... please dont blame me! I had to handle too many people / matters in so short a time. For sure, i wish to see all your familiar faces but i had my priorities!

Aside to my friends... I will 风云再起(One of my favorite Hokkien song).
