Mental Males or Do guys of all ages have something against me?
I solemnly declare that the entire male population's out to make my life miserable. Why? Ok, I'll divide the population into 4 different age groups: toddlers, children, men in their twenties and uncles.
The Attack of the Promoter Part I- Toddler (Anyway, I've gotten a job as a promoter and hence the title)
A family of 3- Dad, Mom and Baby strolled past my stall and went to chat with their friend who's looking after a shop which sells cars. Then the Dad carried the cutesy baby toddler over which got me thinking if I could make the baby interested in the drink, maybe the Dad will buy. So the Dad asked Baby to talk to me 'cause he reckons I'm bored out of my mind (how right he was). Guess what Baby did? He turned his head to the other side and gave me the cold shoulder. Daddy, being the nice guy he is, thought that maybe the turning of the head was pure coincidence and perhaps something interesting was happening over the other side. So he turned around and made Baby face me again. Guess what Baby did? He snubbed me by turning over, yet again! Even before he learns to talk, he's already an expert at snubbing me. Just great.
The Attack of the Promoter Part II- Child (or an overweight nincompoop)
Bored as I had been, I took out my book and started reading at my booth 'cause the people that were interested in trying were few and far between, let alone the probability of me making any actual sales. While my mind was doing cartwheels in fictionland, I heard the shuffling of feet getting louder and closer. Having decided not to give a damn, I continued to read. Guess what I heard next?
'Auntie, can give me 3 cups?'
GET LOST you silly seal! ('silly seal''s a random comment.)
Being the all-smile and (fakely) sweet promoter, I gave him a withering look and gave him three cups instead of my usual reaction which would be to ask him to drink from the toilet tap. Afterwhich, silly seal came back for another 2 cups. Do I have a choice but to complain?
Attack of the Promoter Part III- Man in his twenties/thirties
Having not made that many sales for the whole day, I repeated 'Excuse me, would you like to try some Spirulina Tea? It's low in sugar, has no presavatives and artificial colouring.' for more than twenty times. So I saw this guy in a white shirt and repeated my line. He gave me a blank look. Then, I realised that he's the guy promoting cars and he had already tasted the drink. And what would YOU do if you were the guy? If it were me, I'd smile politely and say, 'Thanks but I've already tried it. Love it.' (Fine, maybe without the 'love it'.)
And guess what the guy did?
He laughed. At me, not with me.
Sheesh, learned your manners yet?
Attack of the Promoter Part IV- Uncle (In this case uncles)
In two different days, two different uncles did the same thing to me.
Me: Excuse me, would you like to try..... blah-blah-blah
Uncle: -frowns and pick up the bottle- Aiyah! Fake one lah! Spirulina where got so cheap
Me: -smiles bitterly-
Uncle: Aiyah! Sure made in china one lah.
Me: -thinking: Get lost you freak- Umm. Nope, it's a product of Singapore.
Uncle: Bluff! Sure China!
Me: ...
Uncle: -picks up the bottle and mumbles softly- oh. product of singapore -while pointing to the actual print on the plastic casing-
Me: ...
Uncle: ok, give me two bottles.
Guys are normal. Yeah right.
Ok, another additional example.
Attack of the Promoter *special*:Caucasian
Me: Excuse me, would you like to try our tea?
Caucasian: What kind of tea is that?
Me: We have Spirulina Tea, Chrysanthemum tea, Herbal tea and Wheatgrass juice.
Caucasian: But it's cold! I don't want to drink cold tea, I want hot tea! In a cup.
Me: ... Umm... I'm sorry but they're supposed to be chilled.
Caucasian: Ok. I don't want to try, they're for Chinese. If I drank it, my eyes will change colour and my features will change shape.
Me: -playing along- No, that won't happen.
Caucasian: Alright, I'll try.
Me: -hurrah!- So which flavour would you like to try?
Caucasian: I want earl grey tea.
Me: ... I'm very sorry but we don't have that here.
Caucasian: Fine, I'll try this. How come it's in this small cup and not in a big glass?
Me: Um.. we have limited samples.
Caucasian: -points to the bottles for sale- Then what are those?
Sigh.
I just finished watching the drama series of I Not Stupid II. It's the last episode and I'm pretty sad. I find the lame humour in the drama highly hilarious and entertaining. And of course I shall give credit to Shawn Lee and Joshua Ang for their drool-worthy appearances. Actually, Joshua's more drool-worthy but If I were Jing Jing and had to choose one of them, I'd choose Shawn. He's more my type. And the same goes for Nicole and Serene whom I popped the random question in the aftermath of the show.
Oh, this topic brings me back to an episode of my childhood. If I'm not wrong and I doubt I'm likely to be wrong, Jing Jing's horrible aunt did scar me in my early years. Though I'm not sure if it's Jing Jing's aunt or Jing Jing's sidekick's aunt.
Tired from classes and having no choice but to attend tuition, I sat at my usual place, which is the front row, during my Primary 5 tuition. I sat there silently, waiting for my friend to arrive and silently minding my own business until an overbearing and tigress like woman dragged her clingy and koala bearish son into the class and introduced him to the teacher as a new student. Let's name him Peter Tan 'cause I forgot his name. Mrs Tan patted Peter on his head and sat him gently beside me while she took care of the admin work. I protested peacefully by catching the attention of Mrs Tan and telling her that the seat her son was sitting on had already been taken and reserved. Being the innocent and tiny (ok not quite tiny, but close enough) girl that I had been, I never expected a supposedly well-bred woman would give me that kind of reaction.
Mrs Tan stared daggers at me, her nostrils flaring as if she was in desperate need of fresh oxygen. She leaned forward and snapped mercilessly, 'First come first serve! My son has eyesight problems so he's sitting here and that's final!'
I whimpered sofly and said, 'But my friend has been sitting here for the whole of last year!'
Mrs Tan snorted, 'That was last year. And this is this year.'
Shell-shocked, I sat there, blinking furiously. Well, and before I knew it, I burst into tears. Yeah, embarrassing.
My tuition teacher had to spend the whole of the lesson pacifying and calming me. I was in that bad a state. Anyway, even the teacher agreed Mrs Tan was at fault.
Two years later, or so, Mrs Tan got to know my mom and chatted to her on a day when I was sitting beside my mom. She completely ignored me. Speculation still exists between my mom and me whether she recognized me.
So on a fine day, my mom received an sms from the allegedly protective mother a.k.a Mrs Tan. She read the message out loud.
Hi! My NIECE is acting in the MOVIE I not Stupid II. Please support! Thanks.
I stiffled a laugh, wondering what kind of niece can she have, considering her own calibre. My mom then replied to her message, asking which character her niece was acting as.
And she replied, 'Naughty girl.'
Yeah, fantastic reply. Well, that made me speculate that her niece was Jing Jing. And also the fact that her sis married an ang moh. However, there's every possibility that the niece might have been Jing Jing's sidekick. The one with the short hair, in the movie.
Upon watching the movie, I'd say I had been quite prejudiced against Jing Jing, all thanks to the auntie. Although now having watched the whole series, I'd say that Jing Jing really is cute, really.
