i say it here first
Australia is a sensitive place to me. so don't mention about it!

nonetheless..i think the flyer's just..hmms..

after church..was walking towards the escalator that links the end of city link to suntec city convention centre
then this lady approached me..i knew it must be one of those irritating buggers
her first line was "excuse me your earring looks nice.where did u get it from?"
okie..she spoke in chinese larh..which got on my nerves even more.
i knew immediately that she was some promoter..
then she added on "i've something free to give it to you"
then she offered this small angbao packet..
i took it and asked "are u tryin to promote something here?", glancing at the booth but couldn't manage to find the company name around
she beckoned me to take a seat, not before adding in another lame comment "weather very hot must wear cap ah?"
all in chinese.
like hello..if u want to promote something..go straight to the point..don't make 5cent 10cent talk that only makes u seem even more irritating..and more psycho..
and to comment on someone's dressing..more so in chinese..is dissing me off. pricking on my tank.
she passed me a survey form and i filled it up.all these while she kept asking me to sit down.sit down..i was stubborn and stood..not until she told me "u must sit down..cos my boss around..so at least he sees that the people i talk to.they sit down for awhile"
then i turned soft. okie then.give her some face..
so we talked a lil
"u're officer ah?"
"ya"
"still on course or an officer alr?"
"commissioned alr"
then she started to go into savings
i cut her abruptly
"look i've been approached by so many of these companies.and i know i can get information when i want.i've told them time and time again that i'm not interested"
this time my tone was stern and sounded rude.
"oh then do u invest?"
i told her when the time is right..i'll jus noe when to invest and stuff like that
then she talked about being xian shi(practical)
and i cut her again
yes i noe xian shi says u must put your money here.put ur money there.things like tat but when the time is right for me to think about investing i'll
that's what i told her.
at this point in time.my tone softened.cos i reckon i was being too much of an arsehole alr..
i could really just sit there and talk to her about anything except the thing she's promoting..i felt i could keep on talking..
but i stopped mysef..
in the end.the conversation ended..she wanted to give me some julie biscuit as a freebie
but i refused it cos i'm not a hardcore Singaporean.everything free also must take
i even wanted to shake her hand to make peace but she didn't seem receptive
so adios!~

maybe it would have helped if she was a lil more presentable
but then again.
many a times presentable ladies from prudential aia have comed up to me and offer their savings plan.
i turned them down.

so many times i've been reminded of savings plan.
i'm under one now.not sure how good it is..
maybe..
if a fren intro me to a savings plan.i would listen to it..
instead of directly sitting down and listen to a promoter..
