roadshow @ woodlands!
Saturday, August 16, 2008
took a dae off for the roadshow at Woodlands..well initially I tot it would turn out quite..coz when we came we realised that the goodie bags were not packed! theres lyk 300+ bags and none were packed..possibly we had taken things for granted..thinking that the goodie bags would come packed just as it was last year..well but things always turned out otherwise): seriously 祸不单行 man..we realised that the posters to be put on the exhibition panels for the roadshow cant be pasted on firmly using blu-tack..so in the end had to use LOTS of blu tack to fix just one poster on the panels..we used up one pack of blutack just to get 4 posters up..waseh real sian diao man..its lyk such a bad start..giving us this bad feeling that the response of the roadshow will be kinda bad..
but LUCKILY, we managed to get pple to sign up (of coz there were times we were treated lyk issurance agents/salesperson and got rejected)..im real surprised to see that there are act pple who are concerned abt all these..i tot pple will be thinking we were just bull shitting lo..some of the participants were real on too..haha..coz we tot that they mb tired out so had a shift scheule kind to rotate their roles: mobile ambassadors, sign up personnels and exhibition guides..of coz the sign-up personnels would be the slackest and the moblie ambassadors were the xiong-est..when there was a change in role, some act commented that they wanted to remain as mobile ambassadors!being sign up personnels were just too slack for them “not challenging” as what they had put it..woohoo~ so cool man..so on..how could we not grant you ur wish rite?overall it was good I would say..and their side was also quite pleased, (no in fact, VERY pleased) with the good response that we achieved..the goodie bags that they prepared for us were act NOT enough lo..haha guess how good the response rate was..
i believed (and I strongly believe so) the high sign ups could be mainly coz of the lucky draw prizes that we gave out..well FREE goodie bags was also a selling point..though this made me witness the ‘kiasu’ and ‘grab all the free stuff whenever possible’ attitudes of some Singaporeans (some even asked wad was inside the goodie bag b4 they sign up..and of coz knowing that it contain nth of much value except a NEWater bottle, they see no point in signing up since ‘there was act nth inside the bag sign up for wad’) at least this proved that our point to attract the crowd using lucky draw prizes WORKED FANTASTICALLY!!oh my, I wonder if I shd be happy to announce this.. if not for the questionaire that we got them to fill up to entitle them a chance to the lucky draw, I might even be abit 心虚 with such a high sign up rate (coz I would be asking myself if they are the real participants for the signup or just..)
oh yes!and I must really mention this guy..he was real 拽 can..he so hao lian la..kept on showing off how many signups he had got and comparing it with the others..kept on telling pple he achieved zero failure, meaning NO ONE had rejected to sign up if he had approached them, quoting him, 没有人跟我说不的,你只要跟他们将就可以的,我出马他们不会不要的。如果有人说不要,我就不做了。Kept on telling pple how hardworking he was, telling the whole world that he had not stopped for one minute ever since he came..waseh 欠扁can..not lyk we forbid you to rest la, say till lyk we ill treat you liddat..i was so bu shuang la so when he sae 我来到现在都没有休息到,I sae 对啦对啦,我们一直都在休息嘞..this sounds abit attitude though but I really cant stand him man..argh irritating guy..though hes real zai to get lyk 300 sign ups alone but I bet he must haf cheated a lot o aunties to sign up coz he was saying lyk 来来来,free goodie bags 要不要?I wondered those who signed up with him actually knew wad they sign up for not..or got cheated by the goodie bags, or simply cant stand him toking toking and toking non-stop when they refused to sign up initially..den towards the end, the staff came to take a look..then he was complaining to the staff lo, saying how poor thing he was, no water to drink (coz the response was too good and the bottles, which were supposedly for our consumption, were given out in the goodie bags in the end) etc, she went to buy vitagen for us to drink lo..walao eh made us so paiseh man..
other than him, the roadshow was GREAT!having a sign up of 507 participants, much much exceeded our targetted number..it was a unique experience experience too, toking to strangers..though I started off rather sin diao (coz I haf nv lyk this kind of toking to strangers things) i soon get used to it and got better after toking to more pple..indeed practice makes perfect..
it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be(: yay!!well done people!!
