Every morning I buy breakfast. Well, almost every single morning. What that makes me? Income generator to the seller? She sells, the seller. Me buy, the buyer. I buy, buy, buy. Lots of stuff. Yes! I'm definitely a buyer.
Never occur to me that buyer is actually a profession. You CAN get paid being a buyer. You don't know? Neither do I, until my brother became one. Now I wonder what he put on my niece's birth certificate. Pekerjaan bapa: PEMBELI. Sounds weird. Silap-silap tukang daftar tu thought that you're joking.
What does a buyer do? Well, he buys things. What things? You, know all those stuff that you see in movies - the complicated little components that cost a fortune. Guarded by armed sucurities... The buyer has to have the look. The BUYER look... like James Bonds movies. Like Matrix. First they will go to lots of meetings. They are allowed to be choosy. They have the control.

Negotiate. Negotiate. Negotiate. Agreed. Then come the delivery. They have to know the thing. I'm not sure whether they drag the engineers to the scene for inspection. Or they could just wear the sunglasses - cum video camera- cum xray machine- cum everything - engineers will just inspect the thing from site. Cool eh? They got good pay too.
So, next time you beli nasik lemak for somebody else - Think again. You can get paid being a buyer. Err.. nasi lemak buyer? Don't think so.
Footnote: Buyer is a real life profession. However - the job description has been written to suit writer's imagination.....
