I'm not a salesman, lady

Annoyance is the order of today. ggrrr.

For those not in the know, i am currently working as a publicist.hahaha. nola, just sounds nicer that way. Actually, my job is to distribute The Sun newspapers and publicize a property contest sponsored by FIABCI which is inside. Oh yes, did i mention i have to wear a sandwhich board too? *cringe and swallow massive pride*. hey! it pays well ok..RM40.00 to distrsibute 100 newspapers on fridays ONLY. Today, it took only 30mins to an hr. muahahaha. so, that's like, what? i cant hear you. say it louder.RM 40.00 an hr?wow you learn fast.*grin*the drawback is that have to start at 7.30 a.m. wicked.literally.

oh well, today was my 1st day on the job. brain numb from early morning air.didnt really think about anything much until i saw the sandwhich boards. Pit kuan, my distribution partner was quite sporting n i ws like, "ehehe..shieeeet". Put on the contraption.turned out to be more humongous that i thought. effectively transforming me into a giant robot-in terms of shape n how i walked- okla, im exaggerating. i could still walk normally but just that my arms are
pret-ty short and stuck out awkwardly.quite hard to reach for newspapers also.

Anyway, started distribution in Uptown 3. Met all kinds of people. Made an effort to smile at everyone. had to talked like my tongue was on fire in case they thought i was trying to sell them something and tried to escape.never! my pret-ty.ehehehe.rub hands together like ray. Quite a number of them were nice. but there were a few anti-social ones. People, people, people! im not trying to sell you anything. its free for goodness sake! just take it! im just lifting you out of a state of ignorance.wahahaha.

At one point i got so frus with this bunch of girls-3 of them-i was like" take it! its free!" it took enormous willpower to not roll my eyes. but i bet a slightly pained look was plastered on my face. One woman even said,"i dont read newspapers" (???!!!) my gawd..

of course, most of the bad apples were redeemed by the good ones. those who wished me good morning after i wished them; those who said their thank-yous; those who asked for more! newspapers to give colleagues; those who smiled. of course i had to initiate the smiling 1st. I just kept thinking, "tsuen, no matter what, or who u meet, just keep smiling. People open up easier when you smile, now flash that 14-carat smile of yours, you sexy thing!" pls, dont puke all over your comp.;p dory's "just keep swimming" song shall be my inspiration! trust me to dramatize e-ve-ry-thing. What would we be without the drama? my guess is: bored.

oh yea. next to where i was distributing the papers, there is this food place-not yet a restaurant, not quite a stall. Anyway, there was this dude sitting there with his buddies. staring at me. whats your problem mr.? never seen anyone in the distribution business ka? it was so annoying. more so cause i imagined him sniggering under that annoying mug. yes, i have an over-active imagination. but that doesnt mean im wro-ong.

Im tired liao. That's my adventure for this morn. not as funny as ik's but............err...nothing. Whoa, after all that, im speechless?

Haha. ciazo ppl.
