...to help the Lims in leafleting for today's Music program. ^^
Yupyup, indian classical music program thingy held at MPH, Midvalley Megamall at 2-4 pm.
If you can go, then go lah! FOC punya...
I can't go because the Den doesn't want to fetch me. =(
So yeah, basics in leafleting:
1. Spot your quarry.
2. Go in for the kill.
Um, that's it.
But there are certain techniques too, like talking nicely and emphasizing the words 'FREE OF CHARGE.' If they still look hesitant, shove it in their face and make them take it anyway.
How to pick victims:
DO's
Old men in the intellectual-looking section of the bookshop.
-They're normally too polite to refuse, plus most of them are actually interested ^^
Parent(s) with kids
-They don't want to make a scene in front of their kids, and often try to be the best mother/father and appear to listen attentively and say 'thank you' after your marketing spiel
Ang moh tourists
-I guess their trying to pick up on local culture or something, cause all of them seem interested when you mention 'classical music' and stuff
Teenage guys (if you're a girl, it works vice versa too)
-They stare at you more than they listen, but what the hell, they take some brochures off your hands anyway =P
Nervous looking guys at the sci-fi and anime section
-They're too intimidated to say no
Nervous looking girls at the programming section
-Same as above
Couples with babies in strollers
-Oh, most of them are friendly =D
Salespeople
-They understand your predicament. So exchange smiles, exchange brochures and then bid a cheery farewell.
DON'T's
Young couples
-They're too wrapped up in each other to notice
Mother-and-daughter combos
-I don't know why, but each M-a-D (=P) combo I approached seem intent on being bitchy =(
Husband-and wife combos
-It's really annoying when they go 'ask my wife,' who then says 'ask HIM!'
People talking on cellphones/reading intensely
-It's rude to disturb (unless they look like complete wimps who won't tell you off for interrupting them)
Parents with MANY kids (as opposed to one)
-They'll shoo you away, all frazzled-like, AND they may take out their frustration over their evil kids on YOU
Teenage (La-la) girls
-NONONO way in hell you should try them. Especially the Ah Lians in 1U (don't want to risk their image by talking to a promoter of CLASSICAL MUSIC nyeheheheh!)
Squinty-eyed, sweaty-looking old men
-They're really creepy and their level of grouchiness puts mine to shame

There was this sweaty old men who made my salesgirl alarmbells go off, (how can they sweat in an air-conditioned shop? Beats me...) but I went ahead annoyed him anyway.
"Excuse me, we're having a..."
"No."
"Ok, thank you..."
I was a bit miffed that he wouldn't even let me finish my first sentence, just - "NO!"
Stinky old bastard. =(
I wanted to pay him out for his rudeness, so after I got bored I went up to him again and innocently said:
"Excuse me..."
"No!"
I thanked him cheerfully, pretending not to notice that I'd already asked him like, 10 minutes ago.
After another 10 minutes, I still had some brochures left, and I SO happened to find that squinty-eyed old man in another section of the bookshop, browsing intently (no doubt looking for porn and the like.)
So, blinking innocently and pretending not to recognize him...
"Excuse me uncle!" I rang out in my cheeriest overpaid salesperson voice.
He looked up, clearly furious.
"NO!"
I swear you could see his eyeballs bulge in temper.
...
WAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I would have added something like:
"Oh, erm, sorry. I have asked you before, haven't I? But well, it isn't my fault you have such an ugly and forgettable face, oh well."
But he already looked downright murderous, so I didn't push my luck.
=P
Song of the Day:
"My Love - JT"
Aiyo. Really grew on me, this one. Except the starting part. It still sounds rather gay to me.
