The Champion!!
No, I will not be talking about how Manutd are the champions and how Liverpool sucks. That's just general knowledge =D
So this is a story of a champion.
The place I eat everyday during lunch, it will be infested with people selling...stuff. Honey drinks, DVDs, 'Money Lender', lottery tickets from all over the world, and alot alot alot of people asking for money for the old folks home, rumah kebajikan etc.
They're seriously one heck of a bunch of annoying people.
So while I was eating, a salesman dude walked up to the table in front of me, and started off with 'Leng zai! Lei bla bla bla *rambles in Cantonese*' So the dude keeps on waving his hand and saying 'No', 'Moi', 'Bu Yao', but the salesdude still wouldnt budge. He was sitting alone btw. Poor guy. I was eating lunch alone too, but that's a fact of life that I would have to get used to by now.
Anyway, although trying his best to shoo the dude away...the salesdude still keeps on talking and talking. Then suddenly, the guy looks up, and started listening to him, and nodding, and saying 'Uh huh, uh huh, yea.' And obviously the sales dude looks happy. Persistence is the key to success yo.
So the dude was talking and talking. Seriously, my pan mee came after he started talking and I finished eating already and he's still talking. Probably about close to 10minutes of talking nonstop.
After a little while longer, the dude stops talking and is waiting for a response from the guy.
What came out from the guy's mouth made me have my utmost respect for him, even though I have no idea who he is.
He said:
"Ok, you know what. If it makes you feel any better, I would have bought whatever you were selling if I actually understood a word you said. Except 'Leng zai', so, thanks for that. Now run along now."
Since that place was kinda packed, and the tables are actually close to each other, that HAS gotta be embarassing. Even though a shameless person like me would actually feel embarassed if that happened to me.
I wanted to stand up and give him a salute (coz seriously he deserves it), but I aint that stupid. I might just get whacked for no reason yo.
Champion, that fella.
P.S - I'm goin to 1U tomorrow to check out the pre-sale tickets for the match. SMS/call/email/facebook/whatever me before 5.30pm tomorrow (Friday) if you want me to buy for you. =)
