The promoters outside of Causeway Point are persistent and scary. Was on my way out of the MRT station to the mall (red route) to exchange defected merchandise when this promoter wearing red suddenly tried to catch my attention. How he did that? He used the pen he was holding to 'tap' (wack) on my shoulder. Shocked by the pain on my shoulder, I turned slightly to look who it was but continued to exit the premise quickly before he could say anything (escape attempt number 1 = successful)... My mom said I should have turned around and knocks some sense into the promoter.
I thought I was safe from promoters when I tried to another route to the MRT station (blue route). And I was so wrong. This time a promoter in white suddenly appear beside me and started asking in mandarin if I was a student. I guess the sudden shock I got (second time again) made him think I shook my head slightly. I thought he would just forget about it and moved away. But I was wrong again. He proceed to ask how come if I wasn't a student then why I wasn't responding to him (duh... who would?). I just continued walking straight the station. Once again, escape attempt number 2 = successful. I should have plugged in to my mp3, perhaps that would have put them off (-.-'').
YL: Now I fully understand what you have tried to tell me last Friday. Felt like I was playing a dodging game with the promoters.
