Charitable face?
I'm on my way to meet Sally at Orchard today and there was this one uncle.
He was walking beside me when he suddenly decided to take a 'U-turn' and nearly bumped into me.
Well,
instead of appologising,
he make a loud loud 'tsk',
as if to tell me i'm blocking his way and now he has to walk AROUND me.
WTF???
Sometimes i just don't understand what those people have in their tiny brains.
Plus,
i just realised today that i have a 'charitable' face.
I was approached by 3 different charity organisation for donation in just 1 hour.
It's not those kind of charity where you simply empty your purse and pockets of those heavy coins and 'get rid' of them by donating.
They are organisations that prefer 'notes'.
I did not manage to turn down the first guy and ended up 'buying' a cute key ring for a whooping $10.
This first guy uses the sweet talk technique where he keeping saying i'm really pretty and ask if i'm from Singapore blahblah.
I did not fall for that *duhh* and I did not exactly say i'll buy that key ring.
Ok it's getting confusing here...let me explain.
When this guys took out that key ring and told me it costs $10,
in which i replied, "oh...ookkk...."
(my ok doesn't mean 'ok i'll buy it' but 'Wwaaa!!! ok so this thing actually costs $10???).
But he immediately says 'Thank You' and passes me his pen to write my name and sign.
-_-"
The next guy is totally weird.
He approached me and started talking and talking and talking and talking.
Then he asked me for $10 to donate to his charity organisation.
I turned him down several times before he said,
"actually there is no minimum amount. You can donate $2, $5 etc but of course the more the merrier."
I was quite desperate to leave so told him i'll bring my friend here (of course i won't) and also started digging my pockets for coins to donate.
When he saw those coins, he said,
"what?!? coins ar? like that don't want already. Nevermind, me and you got fate. I'm sure i'll see you again. Give you a kiss."
(Yeah...that's pretty much what's Singlish is like)
And with that,
he gave me a flying kiss.
*faintssss*
The third was a girl and i'm already with Sally.
We're having our dinner at Long John's when this Filipino/Indonesian girl approach our table.
She looked at me...only at me and asked for a donation with a small note book.
Sally was sitting right there and she ONLY asked me.
Sooo...wow...
I do have a charitable face eh?
