this is something i have always wanted to do:
in face of annoyance
either if they are telephone calls from salesperson, worse we have recorded mechanic sound tracks, telling you loads of promotion plans and thrushing cold and rapid strings of words into your ears, all of which are not applicable to you or are unnecessary to you
or if it's enthusiastic young people you meet on streets trying to "interview" you, followed by drawing out a new product in promotion, asking you to try and BUY. usually they say it doesn't take long. the truth is, pass them by or ignorance makes the shortest time consumed. the simplest and the easiest way, always.
today what i met was a little better,
a charitable organization, NGO, a branch from UN aims at helping refugees.
just glimpsing at the name of the org impresses me (dunno why i trust/mistrust UN things a lot)
to try to escape from his stopping and talking
(cause i was not in the mood to hear preaches)
i replied him in english...XD
"Sorry, I have to go now" with a trembling voice
tremble because I knew at heart that what I was lying,
to be more accurate, i was hiding XD, covering my true self, pretending as another: with a foreign tongue, nay joyce.
out of my expecting his "oops" and "sorry"
he then said "Do you speak Chinese?"
"Yes" and "No" I answered simultaneously, the former from mouth, latter at heart
Christ
this is the wrong answer i should not have given from reflex.
REFLEX...OMG
what he then kept babble about were all in MANDARIN.
XD
"it doesnt cost much"
"it shows your good and kindness"
"all the little money voices your tremendous support"
"just $150 helps hundreds of refugees, women and kids"
while he was giving his hundred and ten percent to convince me,
my mind was wandering, me heart confessing and the line of
"It's a good chance to practise Madarin" run across my sight
like subtitles we see on TV
how cold hearted
compared to the heat and insistence of the boy.
I am sure he's a good swimmer
cause he's able to speak without a pause
probably he noticed my bored-out and helpless face
between one or two super long paragraph(s) he stopped to see me nod
there were also questions i had to answer, in mandarin, ofcourse.
i dont know why the hell was I actually doing this,
standing under UV10, playing the role play game with him
did i move?
or was i just too shy to interrupt?
was i about to sign the donation form?
i dont know
the whole story probably shows my being terribly cold-hearted and unkind
a girl teasing at an enthusiastic boy
maybe he was doing voluntary work without getting a pay for it!
god knows.
at last, i did not
partly it's because of his aggressiveness
i felt like he tried to hold my hand and order me sign
partly because i didnt know if i have the money to do such kind of monthly donation
undoubtedly my family is capable
but what's the point claiming of the donation while the money comes from my parent's pocket?
they are doing it through their own way already!
you say it an excuse?
