Woke up today and immediately felt better off dead. Went into a coughing fit and my sore throat, combined with the coughing, was agonizing. Plus I had a headache which luckily subsided after a few minutes. Ok lah, as you can tell from my nick I'm exaggerating a bit but I hate the sore throat. Actually wanted to go swimming but I did not want to pass my germs to other people via pool. I should be paid for this.
Anyway, went for the "Interact newspaper-collection flyer-distribution" yesterday. Did you get what I mean? I didn't. Basically we went around Bishan HDB blocks to give out flyers DOOR-TO-DOOR to notify the residents that we'll be collecting newspapers and clothes etc next week and could they leave them on their doorstep. And no, uncles (and aunties) we had to knock on their stupid door and make them come out to get the flyer. Only if nobody came to the door then we dumped the flyer at their door. During this activity, I discovered there were many types of people.
- The Shut-the-door type--Basically almost all the houses I went to had their doors closed. I wonder why. Unless they're trying to commit suicide by suffocating themselves inside their houses. Not that I care..my neighbours and I have the habit of leaving our doors open cause we need the fresh supply of O2 unlike some people.
- The Haha-I-heck-care-you type--They hear your doorbell and don't go to the door even if their door is open and its darn obvious there's people. Such people should be condemned to the bowels of the earth (and stay there).
- The Haha-I'm clever-and-I-don't-want-to-open-door-you-can't-do-a-shit type--They hear the bell, you hear them coming to the door, they put their eye at the door and they go away without opening the door. And they've done their homework by stuffing a piece of towel or whatever across the slit at the foot of the door. But they forgot you could hear them too.
- The Haha-I'm-not-so-clever-and-I-don't-want-to-open-door-you-can't-do-a-shit type--They hear the bell, you hear them coming, they put their freaking eye at the door and they go away without opening the door. And you can tell from their shadow casted by the light coming from inside of the house that they're there saying nani-nani-poo-poo to you. They think they're ghosts who dont have shadows. They should at least learn from type number 3.
- The Mysterious-and-hide-ous type--Hide-ous cause they hide in their houses and refuse to open the door. So you know what? They start talking to you THROUGH THEIR STUPID THICK WOODEN DOOR and get irritated with you for lagging a few milliseconds from the surprise cause they think its normal for people to talk through doors to one another.
- The-Evil-neighbour type--I don't know what is it about living together in peace and harmony, but you know something's up when the granny tells you that the chi-ko-pek living opposite her is not at home so don't bother knocking and just when she finishes her sentence, the chi-ko-pek in question opens his door. Maybe the chi-ko-pek has been peeping at the old granny. Bad choice, bad taste.
- The I-have-no-one-to-talk-to type--You knock at their door to give a stupid flyer to them and they start talking about whether you're in cahoots with the garang-gunis and you're going to sell away their precious Readers' Digest to recycle into da4-bian4-zhi3. What's worse, they give speeches on why we should not do that and what we should do with their precious Readers' Digest instead. Hello auntie, we're going to give the stuff collected to Worldvision to help poor children. Your Readers' Digest will be recycled if they could eat the recycled paper.
- The GO-AWAY-SHOO-F-OFF type--What the, you see a custom-made(it has to be custom made, I don't think anyone sells them) sign showing a picture of a few miniscule Magnolia ice-creams with a large, red cross on them and caption: WE DON'T WANT ICE-CREAM. DO NOT DISTURB US. (I'll try to post a pic on that one)
People are so nice nowadays, aren't they? *smiles sweetly*
