Can Spare 1 Minute?

Orchard Rd. Shopping heaven for some. Nightmare for motorists. People come in different shapes and sizes. Common sight includes buskers performing as well as students asking for donation for Flag Day. Then there is the dreaded Survey takers! Wah lau! They tink we go Orchard Road to take survey is it!? They will come up to u and ask u if u could spare a minute of ur time to answer a survey. 1 minute my foot! Here are basically 2 things that u can do to avoid being approached at all. Of course u can always reject them but I dun like rejections lah..

• If u are alone, (pity ah, walk Orchard Rd alone. No 'kakis' ah?) pretend to talk on ur handphone. Dun look at them. This method sure works. Tried and tested. 100% success rate. Rude mah to disturb someone while they are talking on the phone. Heheh. No handphone? Try talking to urself. They won't approach u oso becoz they'll tink u 'Gila'! Haha!

• If you are with a friend, pretend to be in a deep conversation. If possible sound as if u are arguing. Make a lot of hand movements. This method also works but success rate depends how u argue. Haha!
