We were told to sell limited edition cuppaccino kit kat cholocates at $2 for the president challenge along Orchard Road. This is what happened:
Me: Sir/Miss, would you like to buy a packet of limited edition cuppaccino kit kat chocolate? It's for the president charities........
S1: how much? $2? so expensive. don't want.
S2: ................. walk away

S4: Er.... I don't like chocolate.
S5: Cuppaccino?. Ee..... I don't like coffee.
S6: Si mi lai?......

After 6 hours of walking and selling along Orchard Road. I manage to sell 11 packets.

Talking about being charitable....
I bumped into a girl outside an MRT station while I was running late for work. She fell onto the ground, looking very unwell, but still conscious. She asked whether there is a bus number XXX. She said she needed to go home at Bukit Batok to have her medication injected for her diabetes.
I told her there is no such bus number. MRT will be a lot faster (we were just outside MRT). One auntie who happened to pass by, also suggested taking MRT. She gave this girl a candy to make her feel better.
The girl insisted on knowing where to take bus number xxx.
Seeing the girl not even able to stand up straight, I offered to send her home. She said dun wan, still insisted on taking a bus (in her this kind of condition). Then the auntie said "Ya lor. send you back lah" The girl screamed damn LOUDLY at us, telling us to scram.
I was like... "what the fish?" The whole world was looking at me and the auntie, as if we were harassing the girl. -

Singaporeans are the MOST charitable IDIOTS in the whole globe.
Kana cheated by the Peanuts Gang also never ask for refund.
Kana blackmailed every year and cheated every month and STILL support the white mafia.
Kana swindled by the investment overseas and still indifferent to it.
If singaporean are not Charitable, why they would pay so much to support people who keep thinking of more ways to dig money from them.
If singaporean are not stupidly charitable, I dunno who is.
Imagine paying 2 million dollars a year to a roti prata man. -
in her 20s? Very dressed down one, no makeup.Originally posted by Gwangetto:how old is that girl? -

even if the skool begs for money why get students to do the begging ?
Parents should reflect this to the schools especially private schools ! -
hmm.. the way she reacted is probably because of her desperate need to take her own medication rite? was she struggling desperately or something?Originally posted by Honeybunz:in her 20s? Very dressed down one, no makeup.
for diabetes patients, they need tconstant medication. a pity that she didn't have anyone beside her.

She was in pain. When I first saw her, she was pressing her chest and then fell onto the ground.Originally posted by Gwangetto:hmm.. the way she reacted is probably because of her desperate need to take her own medication rite? was she struggling desperately or something?

I rarely encounter this ... I admit I was also very gabra. -

hmm.. the reason why she screamed is because she was in pain. it doesn't take a psychology student like me to figure this out.Originally posted by Honeybunz:She was in pain. When I first saw her, she was pressing her chest and then fell onto the ground.

well... it's ok. first time encountering such incidence is normal to be gabra. i would also be pretty nervous and desperately thinking of how to help that girl.
take the cab home with her? maybe.. ask the auntie to help as well. u might save the day.. who knows.
