the PEAR from Belgium!

today i went to the mini market initially to buy some apples. Today there was this girl at the store, and she was there promoting the newly arrived Pear. From the short conversation i had with her, i realize that the way i speak, is really no fun at all... the conversation goes something like this...

# Promoter: Hello Sir! Do you wanna try this newly arrived Pear from Belgium? Is very nice! (while shoving to me a bunch of cut pears. I took a piece, and i put in my mouth and chewed...

# Me: Hmm....quite ok wor...just now you said what? from belgium?

# Promoter: yes right! do you wanna take one? you could store this in the fridge and it could last for three weeks.

# Me: Alright...i'll take one.

# Promoter: let me find one that is more fresh for you...nah! this is better!

# Me: okay thanks...


Then i walked away from the place. i did not even looked into her face and eyes and i don't even remember how she looks like. Lesson learnt: Always look into people and the product, don't only focus on the product. The human element is important too! Then, there is this way below i think i should have said to make the conversation more interesting. Well, next time...

# Promoter: Hello Sir! Do you wanna try this newly arrived Pear from Belgium? Is very nice! (while shoving to me a bunch of cut pears. I took a piece, and i put in my mouth and chewed...

# Me option 1: Hmm....what should i say...taste like Belgium! hahhahaha! BTW, mind you explain to me where the hell is this Belgium?

# Me option 2: How come i didn't saw you before? How come nobody come and promote to me these apples i am going to buy? you know, these apples are from America! How i wish you could be here every time i buy the apples.

# Me option 3: Look, i'll still buy this even if you say they are from planet Mars!

# Me option 4: Hello Leng lui, Do you wanna try this newly arrived apples from America? It's further away than Belgium and is also very nice!

# Promoter: yes right! do you wanna take one? you could store this in the fridge and it could last for three weeks.

# Me option 1: You know what? 3 weeks is just too long. i wish it could only last a day, so i could come back and buy from you again tomorrow!

# Me option 2: the freshest pears will be me and you plucking them in Belgium!
