Rejections, rejections and more rejections...

Nope, my quotations weren't rejected my customers but I was rejected by girls (not 1 but many) and guys (don't anyhow think). Ya, out in the streets or Orchard Road on a hot national day afternoon.

Was out on the streets with my fellow cell mates to distribute "I need a miracle-power weekend" flyers. Each one of us was allocated different areas (Eg, outside hereen, outside cinelesiure, outside mandarin hotel, outside somerset mrt. I was stationed to the area closer to taka but still within mandarin hotel vicinity. As I held the stack of flyers, I was telling to God that every single flyer that i'm holding is a ticket for a person to be able to go to heaven and I'm not going to rest until I give all of them.

Just as I was walking towards my area, I saw one of the flyer in the dustbin!! I was thinking no one else was ahead of me giving out the flyers, how come in the dustbin already. It dawned upon me that maybe a few hours ago, another cell was distributing around the same area. There goes a ticket. You must be wondering how come I go look at dustbin? Because normally I receive flyers out in the streets I would throw them into the dustbin after reading (but it's because it's really rubbish material)

After 15min of giving out the flyers, I only managed to give out about 10+ flyers (i got about 80+ of them initially). I received a call from 1 of my friends, she said she already finished giving out and were chilling out at Swensons already!! I was thinking,"is it because they are girls and that's why easy to give out so fast?? or I'm so unlucky?" Many people either gave me the 5 finger sign or treated me as Ms invisible's cousin.

Another 15min had gone and I had only cleared half of my stack. 2 of my fellow cell mates came and helped me with half of what I have left. Within another 10min, I managed to clear up everything! Before I went to meet the others at Swensons, I went to peak at the dustbins along the stretch of mandarin hotel and I should just say there was no dustbin that does not have any ticket to heaven in it. I just felt demoralised that I was rejected so many times even though I dressed nicely, I smiled at them and I even stand in the sun instead of the shade to show my sincerity. Of coz there were people whom saw my gesture and when I passed them the flyers, they didn't give me the 5 finger sign and they took it. I was also the last to finish giving and with external help too. =(

The only consolation thing was that I get to see my dear with her family at kallang river to watch the NDP fireworks. But I have to fetch my sis and her fren from esplanade area after that and thus couldn't join her for dinner. =/

I just pray that out of the 60+ flyers that were given out through me (with don't know how much percentage of the flyers went to ministry of environment currently), 1 come for the power weekend I'll be very contented already. At least I would know that the afternoon of sweat cum "humiliation and rejection" didn't go down to the drain. =\
