I think us consumers are a harrassed lot.
One can never find yourself free from unwanted information being shoved into your face unless of course you run to corner so secluded that you still can smell Sang Nila Utama's presence.
From the moment you open your door , you find wads of flyers from KFC or some cheena catering service stuck between your gates or under your door.
Then as you wait impatiently for the lift to arrive , you find stickers advertising a locksmith's service stuck near the button.
And then as you sit down at your desk and finally try to get some work done, you get popup ads screaming "YOUNG HORNY CHEERLEADERS" in big red bold fonts all over your screen.
Definitely NSFW.
Anyway.
The point is , i was in a rush this afternoon because i was late for class and i dreaded walking through the interchange towards the train station because i knew there were numerous people waiting to get close to you with some kind of proposition , brochures included.
The first person who tried to sell his ware to me was a young boy around my age selling second hand phones.
I smiled and almost broke into a run.
Then out from nowhere this girl shouts from afar
"XIAO JIE ! Yao facial mah ?? Promotion , 2 for 1 leh !!! Lai shi shi mah !!" ( MISS ! Do you want a facial , we're having a 2 for 1 promotion , come and try !! )
I shook my head and thought as i touched my face self- consciously
"Kan ni nah , i don't need a facial HOR !"
I had barely walked five steps away when another young woman approached me
"Miss , we're having a promotion.. Facials for $10 !!"
I glared at her and i decided not to smile politely because really , i don't see any need to observe any form of manners when i'm being indirectly insulted here.
So i walked away and i was in a really foul mood since i was all drenched and cold AND late.
The last straw came when this obviously stupid and pak jiao woman waved at me from where she was seating with a brochure and shouting
"XIAO JIE WO MEN YOU SHOU SHEN PROMOTION YAO TRY MAH!?" ( Miss we're having a slimming promotion wanna try ?" )
I mouthed the word "Bitch" under my breath.
I am standing at 164cm and i weigh a paltry 40kg.
Either she is really desperate for customers , ignorant or poking fun at my anorexic-looking frame.
I so badly wanted to scream at her
"Ni chi da bian lah , wo kan ni cai xu yao shou shen hor !! CHI DA BIAN LAH !! NA BEHHH !!" ( its okay , thank you but i don't think i require any of your services . Have a nice day ! )
If i was someone who is on the heavier side , i would feel so depressed if some dumb promoter tries to sell some kinda slimming product to me in public.
Nin nah beh ! LIM BU NO NEED NO FACIALS HOR ! PUI CHAO NUA !
Well , thats about it.
I am suffering from a serious case of writer's block these few days so please bear with the lack of updates.
Life has been good , i am happy and well-fed.
And oh , i really had great fun with mr okay-thanks-bye at Baybeats on sunday.
Concave scream was ROCKIN' !
Death of Cinema too !!
Shit man , for once the crowd was spontaneous . It was gooooooooood shittttttttt.
We went all touristy by hopping onto a River Taxi , became dramatic at Clifford Pier ( yah since it was the location du jour for melancholic good-byes in retro local drama serials back then ) and made a fool out of ourselves trying to ballroom-dance at a very deserted Raffles Place , where we also compared our toes ( my pretty pedicured toes won by a mile ) , curled eyelashes ( not mine ) and made fun of designers and their eccentric , sometimes bizarre behaviour.
Acute designicitis , i call it.
And mr okay-thanks-bye definitely suffers from it.
Muahahhaa.
Yes indeed , i am happy.
Its hard to remain sullen when your darling grandmother cooked all of your favourite dishes on a bleak and rainy monday.

listening to : Lin Jun Jie - Dou Jiang You Tiao
HAPPY mah , thats why must listen to corny happy songs like the abovementioned. But i really like that song la.
However i will draw the line at the fucking irritating "Lao shu ai da mi" thats like being played EVERYWHERE. The techno version of it induces spasms and causes me stick my foot in my mouth to prevent rabidly biting my tongue off.
Everyone now !
Wo ai ni , ai zhe ni , jiu xiang la shu ai da mi !
AI YOUR BACKSIDE LAH !
