Touters alert!

Heyy I'm here to blog again.

A long day. Finally the 2.4 is over. WHEW~. My timing was 15:18, even though I have long legs. What a disappointment siahhs.

Since I had a project to do, I didn't go out with my usual clique of friends. I went out with my CID group to Westmall instead while they went to the same ol' JEC.

When I reached home, I smsed Huiyi to ask her whether she would like to go swimming. Alas, a pig never straightens its curly tail ; she was again asleep on her comfy bed from 5-7. That prompted me to nag at her about sleeping, how fats would get digested in her sleep and how it would be deposited at the various parts of the body. Haha. I could tell that she was hardly listening judging by the dry answers she gave me, and to evade my incessant nagging she finally said,"Aiyah, tomorrow go swimming lahh.." xD

Then she told me about this touter who approached my other friends at the MRT station while they where coming down the escalator. "Rv girls right? I am not a siao zhar bo...HEE HEE.." Hmm. From my point of view, she really sounds like she'd got a nut loose in her brain, but wadever.

And can you believe it? Huiyi and Peizhen actually gave her money! Whoa. I never knew my friends were so charitable. From what I can remember, they had always rejected offers by those parasites. Am I right, 2gaoxiao-ians? Haha. Don't deny. I can see the look of guilt in your eyes. xD Maybe she was too cute, that's why they contributed. So much for not judging a book by it's cover. xD

Touters are really irritating siah. They're always hanging around JE mrt station, which I don't like because I happen to frequent Jurong Entertainment Centre. I remember all the things we did to avoid them; walked the long way around to Aries, told them no, etc.

One particularly memorable one was when I complained about the cigarette smoke that was distinctly "smell-able" in that area.

Touter: Excuse me...
Me: (pointing at him) Sorry, very smelly
-walks off-

HAHA. I wonder if he's still traumatised thinking of why someone accused him of BO when he had just bought cologne the other day and obviously had used it that day.

I personally have met a woman who appraoched me and my friends as we were heading towards the control station at Orchard mrt station. Wow, what a bitch she was. None of us wanted to donate, being the litle stingy misers we are. xD After she approached us, we stood there for a million years looking at each other with questioning expressions in our eyes, screaming silently in our brain,"WHY WON'T THESE KNNB TOUTERS LEAVE US ALONE?!" We slowly shook our heads, at which she said,"You should have said so earlier." after which she stormed off to sob on her friend's shoulder. (i'm only fantasizing; hey revenge is sweet!)

There's something these touters have to know. From the moment they took up this job, they should have known that it would be full of rejection and attitudes from people. They shouldn't give an attitude to people that rejected them, because they are not even OBLIGED to donate in the first place! Kind-hearted souls do it out of goodwill, but not all Singaporeans are angels with a halo over their heads. They should at least be mentally prepared lest they get rejected really really badly. Furthermore, we're only students! We have a limited supply of money and you can't blame us if we refuse to donate, right? While you get money from our donation, we lose a few bucks. No big deal? Becuase YOU'RE not a student and YOU don't have a limited flow of money.


There has been too many charity shows. So many that people are getting stingy. So this should serve as a warning to those touters out there. We know it's your job, but can you please spare us students?
