Randy Pausch is not dead!

Media is reporting Randy Pausch's death as of 25th of July 2008, Friday morning.

That is just sheer rubbish. How can a man who have moved the hearts of millions of people die? How can a man who have instilled and provoked great ideas in the minds of our sons and daughters, husbands, wives and everyone, can die? He is not dead; he is very much alive with us. He will always be remembered, his struggle to bring awareness of pancreatic cancer and many other types of cancer for that matter will go on. He is not dead.

He can’t be dead until the quest for this monstrous disease’s cure is found. His bold and strongly moving role will help the authorities to invoke the necessary steps required to save many other fathers and mothers out there who are battling with this grotesque disease. Many sons and daughters’ parents will be spared because of this man. So, you see, he can’t be dead, because he lives as mothers and fathers who will be saved in the future as a result of his agenda to instill understanding of the gravity of the situation.

There is only one Randy Pausch, however, who will remain timeless. Randy Pausch has transcended flesh and bones, so again, he can’t be dead. Randy Pausch is an idealogy; an idealogy on how we should live our lives. I am quite disappointed that the media is not highlighting what he has done and brought forwards to the mass as much as covering his demise.

Vector Armada and CIMB mastercard credit card

A few weeks ago I got myself CIMB's petronas credit card. I have not even used the card and it is just sitting in my wallet when i received a call from Vector Armada. The number is usually begins with 0162107XXX.

These salesperson will call and say you were among the 200 people selected for having good credit record. The ironic part is that I have posessed the card only for a day! How the hell did that make me eligible for such an offer and how does that make me have a 'good credit record'?
Something was fishy, so i kept on with the conversation and the person kept on talking and yalking non stop. I was not even sure if the promotions and offers were true or not.

The part that really ticked me off was when I requested for some time from the salesman before I make any decision for me to discuss about the matter with my family, she said I have to make the decision now because the offer ends today?! When i asked if the website is available for me to check all these offers, she answered something else to evade that question.

these are the details:-

1. Name of company: Vector Armada
2. The way they got my cell number: CIMB/mastercard (I am damn sure about this)
3. what they offer; A bunch of promotions
4. You have to pay RM 488 <-- this is supposedly after discounts and promotions 5. You can enjoy lifelong membership and privileges and perks that comes with it. 6. The salesperson said there are over 50000 members after the company have began operating 6 years ago. 7. CIMB says they have no affiliations with Vector Armada and maybe their marketting department did something to leak my info out.

If any of you out there who have received this call and made the commitment pay for the membership, please do comment here and tell me your experience.

I learned one thing, that is nothing is free in this world and no one is too nice to offer something that is too good for you which they would not take for themselves.
