Singapore Food Expo

Phew! Lucky neber kana recall back to work today and tml! At least I can still rest my tired feet for 2 days before gg back to Expo on Monday, which is oso the last day of the food fair.

Had a pretty fun time in Expo even though it was really super tiring!...Guess I had become an Auntie overnite as well...gota speak in the auntie lingo, shout like one and tok like one! Haiz...there goes my "demure" image! ahaha....yaya...I noe lotsa ppl gona puke while reading this...Anyway, we were there...shouting, gaining as much attention and publicity as we could, coz sales seemed to be moving too slowly so we gota be really aggressive. Although our booth location is supposed to be the prime spot, somehow the crowd dun seem to be at our side. Prolly coz ppl tends to start walking either from the left or right side, i.e. the "S"-shape or Rectangle shape...Seldom in the middle, where we are located. So by the time they reach us, they are either too tired to come by our booth, or they hab oredi eaten their fill to actually sample our stuffs.

As usual, met with the 3 categories of ppl! Haiz...Expected lah. In a way, I'm immune oredi. But I told off 1 particular uncle. Coz he keep coming to our booth for sampling. Tink he came around 4 or 5 times and each time he came by, he'll take at least 2 cups. He's definately not one of the exhibitors. So I got quite pissed off...and by the 6th time I see him, this is wat I said to him (translated to Ang-Moh): "Uncle, U come again ah?...Me keep seeing u come for our kopi but why u neber buy ah?....Buy 1 packet and drink lah, so tat u dun need keep coming and take kopi frm us!"...ahahah...Ya lah, I noe I quite mean...but tat's not the way lor. At the rate he drink, it's equivalent to 1 kettle oredi! Ok lah, maybe I'm exaggaerating, but still...we're there doing business mah. Somemore can see tat he's not gg to buy one. Anyway, after telling him off...I neber see him come back liao! ahahah...maybe too pai sei to do tat lor. Hee...

Haiz...Even the Kids are driving me crazy! Coz we gib out free stickers mah, so all of them crowd around me for stickers. Then met with 1 little boy, whom I tink is the super hyperactive type. I tell u...he nearly drive me nuts!! Keep touching all the things, and I hab to put it back. I put back, he take out again! Kaoz! Then keep asking soooo mani questions, make so much noise, keep toking, keep running around...etc. etc. I nearly died!! I admire his mummy! She juz stand there and let the son be lor. *faints* Ok, at least they buy.

Oh yes! Toking abt stickers! Not oni the kids will grab frm u! Even the Uncles, Aunties, Ah-Pek and Ah-Ma oso grab! Coz they say take for their children lah, grandchildren lah....blar blar blar! Oh well, sometimes I wonder if they're taking for the sake of taking, simply coz it's free!...I even got 1 auntie who said this (translated to Ang-Moh again): "Izzit Free?...Free then I take." See wat I mean by Ugly Singaporeans? ....This is an example! *shakes head*

So lucky to escape the weekend madness! Coz it's definately gona be much worse than weekdays. Weekdays oredi so jialat liao, cannot imagine if it's weekends! Well, keeping my fingers crossed that Monday will not be so jialat, but hard to say oso lor, coz last day liao mah...ppl sure tink tat last day prices sure slashed one! Haiz...me haven got the time to shop there leh! No time to eat liao, let alone shop! Shall see Monday got time to "snake" a bit or not lor.
