Dummy's Guide to Flag Days

My last minute efforts of some spring cleaning has paid off. I fished out my journal that I wrote in Secondary 4 and I'm proud that I gave the impression (and was!) a goody-two-shoes. : ) I'm kinda bored, my jogging plans postponed by the threatening weather. So I'll post a nonsensical entry as well haha.

The Dummy's Guide to Flag Days

by Daphne Tan

Have had nerve-wreckingly frustating experiences pestering people for their 50cents and 20cents? No fear! These tried-and-tested tactics will leave you contented with tins of cash overflowing.

1. Approach people who either have wallets in hand, or are digging for something in their bags and pockets. They'll feel quite obliged to give you money.

2. Once the target is spotted, pretend to look around while advancing towards him. Only give him eye contact within approachable distance, so he cannot run away.

3. Sneak from behind!

4. Approach for people stuck in queues - they can't run away!

5. Choose your targets wisely. If you're good-looking, try looking for older folks of the opposite sex. These ah peks and aunties will be inclined to give money for the sake of your mesmerising smile.

Someone! Help me, I'm very very bored. Two more days without work? It's driving me crazy.
