Ok, I have to hold my hands up and admit I’m not the biggest fan of the colour and therefore I must have certain prejudice on everything orange. So because of that I might be too harsh on EON Bank regarding this. Orange will certainly make people notice EON Bank more so maybe it will work out well for them. I sincerely hope so because I have nothing against them. I may hate EON service with all the hatred in the world, but I have nothing against the bank. So good luck to them.
But like I said, I’m prejudiced about the colour orange, and I have pretty good reasons for that.
You see, I have a cousin. A sweet, soft spoken, kind hearted beautiful girl. She was engaged, to a guy that had a brilliant career ahead of him. The two families, hers and the guy’s, have long been friends. It was like a match made in heaven. Unfortunately, she made one big mistake. She chose orange as the theme colour of her wedding. And guess what, one month before her big day, she called off her engagement. Out of the blue, just like that. It came as a surprise to everyone because like I said, the couple was like a match made in heaven. It was the colour I tell you, orange, it is cursed.
Think I’m talking out of my arse? Well hold your horses, I’m not done yet.
GUP, it’s going down. It is inevitable. Now all GUP can do is to wait for its certain death, like a prisoner in the death row. How can that be possible? How can right now GUP awaits certain death when it had a start that the whole country remember until now, the start which at that time left a big impact not only in the country but also on the whole world? With all the money and an all star line up of who’s who of Malaysian corporate figure leading it, how can it be in the state it is in now? Yup you’ve guessed it, GUP colour is orange!
Seriously, think about it. I’m not going to name names here, but trust me, the people who lead GUP are brilliant, with the power and connection most people would die for. They are not just some novices in their respective fields, they are the main men. Powerful, brilliant, experienced group of people, but they are failing to keep something that had a mighty strong start alive. Believe me, it’s the colour!
It is not so much the fact that we are going down that bothers me. Businesses go bankrupt all the time, companies shut down their operations every passing day. That is just how things are. Sometimes they go well, sometime they don’t. It is the manner in which we are handling us going down that bothers me. We are still in denial, instead of accepting the fact that we are in deep shit, we are ignoring it and act like nothing bad is happening. How can it be like that? Why are they acting stupid? Why do they keep telling the staff that everything is as rosy as ever? We are a small team, they should let everyone know it’s bad so we can prepare for it….but they are not. These are our jobs we are talking about. Our security. Our future. They keep lying even when being confronted. We asked them directly and they said everything is fine. Why?
IT’S THE COLOUR! CURSED AND DAMNED!
The colour orange is to be blamed for GUP’s failure. Orange is making the big bosses turn into selfish monsters. Orange is making their brains melt. Orange is making the bosses ignore the welfare of the staff. Orange is making them cowards. ORANGE!
I pity these powerful, brilliant, experienced people because orange is screwing them up, turning them into idiots. Dignified, noble people who became lowly, ignoble ogres. Poor them, it is not their fault, it is the colour.
So don’t make the same mistake that GUP did. Don’t choose orange in whatever you are doing. It is not worth the risk. Don’t play with fire. Do not choose orange. If you see the colour orange anywhere, stay as far away as you possibly can!
To EON Bank, good luck to them. They will need all the luck in the world to survive the colour. Hopefully they will manage to break the ‘orange curse’.
For all you out there, remember, avoid orange. It is for your own good.
