I must say that this has been one of the most interesting Jobweeks in my Scouting life. No, seriously. Some events are so retarded (and some are so hilarious), I can't sleep in peace without sharing them. In order;
1 | OMPM! [Owe Money, Pay Money]
OK, firstly, let me say I'm no Picasso, but still.. You must admit this is a 'piece of art'... -.-
I have a sudden liking for pigs. Don't you?
2 | Dance, Dance...
The second one is extremely weird. We knock the door, and this girl (around our age) answers. We do the usual intro (the one at the top) and then she exclaims and says there are no jobs. Then comes the interesting part.
She does some funny dance and exclaims, 'Money, can??'.
It won't sound that funny here, but believe me, Fu Kang and I wanted to burst out laughing right there. [Ask Fu Kang for an excellent re-enactment. He can do it really well.]
3 | Train
OK, this one is plain creepy. CREEPY. So we go to the next floor, and hear someone singing. Terribly. In a loud, screechy, voice. Did I mention it was loud? So we cautiously knock the door. Singing stops, woman opens door. We do the usual introduction, and she looks around for jobs.
Here it comes...
And then she asks us to fix a toy train.
Yes.
A toy train set. [The ones 4 year olds play.]
And the evil person who had opened the door was laughing at us. And so was her daughter. And so was her 4 year old son.
I'm scared.
Help.
I think they're all mad.
And after 20 - 30 mins of hard work, we received two dollars. -.-
(At first it was one, then the daughter took pity on us and gave us another one...)
And that's not all. The woman said that after we were done building, we had to play with it. (But at least for this one, she was joking -.-)
4 | Angry Man
This one is on a more serious note. After we were done with all the jobs and returning to school, we stopped at 7-11 on the way to buy drinks. As we were entering, we heard this man (quite young, in his 20s), chasing (briskly walking) after this guy/girl shouting at the top of his voice about no sense of urgency, and government playing around and stuff.
I have no idea. Don't understand it either. People were staring at him and slowly retreating backwards. Fu Kang and I entered 7-11 and bought our drinks. :D
Lessons that can be learnt
1. Never, ever, attempt to draw pigs if you haven't drawn one before. You'll fail and people will take pictures of it and post it on their blogs.
2. When people are dancing when offering you money, you know something is wrong.
3. Don't even think about entering a house with random people singing random things. At the top of their voices.
