After the career fair at mpsh which was a downright disappointment, me and MY went window shopping at orchard. Got one gal approach us on the street to sell some perfumes which said to "have to be flown in from oversea and selling at $25 instead of $90 during this promotion period" She spray some on our hand, and i smelled, "Nothing special about the smell". I think I was too dazed by Clinique Happy sprayed strip given out during my last cosmestic lecture even up till now, to notice anything special about this fragrance.

I wanted to leave but then the girl seem too hyper to stop her incessant talking. Then out of sudden she asked us " Have you got a boyfriend". We two stared back with a blank blank look. Don't know how to answer. This is a holy shit question to ask two old singles who never have boyfriends in their entire life. Just as I was about to lie, the promoter continued " No boyfriend? How can it be? So pretty. If don't have, then me with such face can't find one liao..."

Flattered, but don't feel like buying your perfume. I'm not perfume person. Just then got a male promoter came in and started to talk...but MY is smart to say "I'm not interested" and we finally got off.

Anyway I don't like such a way of marketing products. They alway said they won't take more than a minute, it's usually one big lie. A waste of my time and what my sis would call "a great irritant". If i see such people approaching me, I just wave my hands, smile and siam. My mum's better. She totally ignored them. If got promoters come to our table in hawker centre, my mum and dad would just go on talking and refuse to acknowlege their presense and I will be blushing badly as the promoters would throw a dirty look and mouth bad to other promoters.

Sheesh. We meet another one at orchard mrt station but this time round, we just kept walking ahead. We got approached the third time when walking home from TP mrt station. Strangely this time, we stopped.

Cuz' the guy is cute. He's a Singnet promoter. Oh gosh, he was looking at me. That was what i keep thinking in my mind. Damn my hormone's kicking in. But too bad, he didn't talk for long since we're already singnet subscriber. It's only when we are a distance away from him, it occurs to me that why didn't i ask for his number. He has all the criterias. He's tall, look cool with korean small eyes and not exactly overwhelming handsome. Aiyo, i sould like a pervert man! Why am I getting so desperado these days? So unlike the usual reserved me. Maybe because I'm approaching 22 and still not yet found a boyfriend bah.

Anyway, if any company want to promote their products on the street, I would advise they better find those who scores in look department.
