Aunties and market

19 Sept 06

Had dinner with my colleagues from the other offices at "Central" cafe at Takashimaya.

Met up shervon 1st and mighty mike joined us shortly.

We had a helluva fun bitchin' about those whom we dun really like in our workplace...

black mama..CKM...coconut lady and many more..

Mighty mike and me must have been arch-enemies or maybe we fought over the same guy in our previous lives...( I m presuming he's a gal in his previous life).

We could not stop bickering and 'insulting' each other. I can't believe I m using the same model of hp as him! eeeks!

Mighty mike and me did something really 'auntie'.

We were walking past Kalms' and I pointed to him a cute cow's coin bank.

I had expected his reaction to be of a typical guy's reaction as in "Nice meh?" or just a simple "Yah, quite cute."

But to my surprise, he said in his most 'auntie' manner, " I saw this at centrepoint, selling at $24.90. They are selling the cheapest there."

My instant reaction was "You so sure its cheaper there meh?"

"Sure, wanna bet? They must be selling this at about $30 plus." he smugly replied.

"Ok, let's go in and take a look."

We saw the coin banks and the salesperson was standing next to them.

The salesperson started his sales talk,

"This is a new product. We are selling it at a low introductory price of $26.90. You can't find such prices in other places. We are charging the lowest."

I looked at mighty mike in amusement and started talking like a 'auntie',

"I dun tink your shop's is the cheapest. My fren here saw this coin bank going at $24.90 each only."

"Cannot be. Must be of a different design." the salesperson argued.

Then mighty mike aka 'Auntie' of the 'aunties' and bitch of the bitches stepped up and retorted,

"It's the exact same design I saw at John Little at Centrepoint and they are really selling at $24.90. Dun believe, go see yourself."

At this point of time, embarassed shervon was finding a hole to hide herself. She did not want to be associated with the two 'aunties'.

Then Mike and me left the shop, leaving the clueless, hapless salesperson wondering what had just happened.

Lucky for shervon, sabby arrived and saved her from the two 'aunties'.

Then we proceeded to sample the mooncakes at the mooncake bazaar at taka where we managed to continue our yakking as we walked thru' the bazaar crowd.Then we sat ourselves at kopi bean for some more bitchin'.

It was a fun gathering, I dun tink I have ever tok so much within such a short period of time with this group of people. It's like a mini-market. That's what you get when you put 4 PR persons together!

I m looking forward to the next one, guys!
