22nd Post: 'Salesman'

Baaa~sically, this is what happened today: When I passed through the LRT station, I was stopped by a guy. He started with something to do with recycling but after that he began to crap to me in a very natural manner(he spoke in guang dong dialect by the way).

"Where are you from?"
"What are you doing here then?"
"Where are you studying?"
"Do you have a girlfriend?"

OK~~what the hell has this to do with you? But I answered them politely anyway. Then he showed me a box and said it was 100% handmade by disabled people. Then he once again digress away from the topic and crap again like girls love these handmade stuff and its perfect to put in rings. It was a tactic to distract my attention and yet I didn't notice it at that time.

Finally, he asked me to write my name down on a piece of paper and sign there without telling me what's it for. I was too naive and didn't suspect anything and did what was told even though it is as clear as the bright sun shining at 12pm that his move was as fishy as a fish pie with a fish beside it. Then he finally revealed his true motive and said: "Now how much would you paid to help these poor kid?"

...I paused for a moment as a result of losing track of what's going on. When the truth finally dawned on me, it was already too late and I wrote my name on the paper already. He told me that if I donate at least rm20 I can get the box he showed me earlier but I insisted donating rm10 only.

I actually don't mind donating that rm10 but somehow I think his technique of getting donation ain't that appropriate, it seems to me as some kind of unscrupulous salesman technique which shouldn't be adopted by charity worker. Well, at least I do admit that he has some potential to become a top salesman...

21st Post: Zombie

I feel terrible right now, which is the last thing that should happen after I finished my exam which had lasted for a whole long month. Don't get me wrong, I ain't feeling bad because I did badly in my last paper, even if I do, I won't care right now anyway.

I'll start with the moment which my exam finishes; my friends and I decided to go for dinner together. After that, I was dragged to a nearby cybercafe to play a zombie-shooting-game called 'Left 4 Dead' if my memory serves me right. Playing half way through, I felt that my stomach squirmed and the urge of vomitting struck me unexpectedly. I felt extremely disgusted at the splashing blood and inhumane massacre...like hell, the 3D models are damn fake and anyone who pity the killed zombie must've had excessive compassion that would only possessed by a resident of asylum. In fact, the thing that made me feel like vomitting is the spinning camera(it's in first person viewpoint, which made me even more dizzy), I'm not used to playing this kind of game to begin with, moreover I actually play the game right after I have my dinner. Luckily I pulled out after a while or I would've puke at the computer screen.

This incident further add on to my bad impression towards shooting game, guess I better avoid them once and for all...Anyway, after I finally get the exams part done, it's time to start doing some extensive university research already. University application part is coming soon and there's A LOT to prepare...maybe after I recover from this nauseous feeling, urgh...
