big-eyed monster

as i graduated, i had to walk through the whole maze of mumbo jumbo in MPSH 1 just to collect my mortar board and gown. it was just like matricalutaion day, just slightly better.

but wait. amid the whole mumbo jumbo, there were ppl who were promoting credit cards. when you were entering the hall, when you were in the hall, when you were exiting the hall, anywhere, everywhere, these ppl were omnipresent. their new pick up line? "sir, i'm not selling anything". apparently credit cards can't be sold.

the first few who approached me were males (or females?), i can't remember and i had no impression whatsoever of them. i smiled and moved on, the maze thing was confusing enough.

and then, when i had the chance to finally breathe fresh air after the whole mumbo jumbo, i was approached again. this time, by a big-eyed monster.

this monster had big green eyes, with nicely carved brows and perfectly fake lashes to go with it and like a venus-fly trap, i became dinner.

for the whole time, the only thing i remembered saying was no. no. no. but i gave my number in the end. looking back, how did that happened? must have been her big green eyes. and when i received a call a few days later, without the big green eyes staring down at me like a tigress toying with her prey, i could finally say "no!" with conviction and "neh neh, you can't eat me over the phone!" to go with that.

that is why, ladies, if u're ever going to go into sales, invest in the make up set and make sure u resemble a big-eyed monster. and also have a sexy voice when u call. it works.
