Sunny Hypersonic August 22, 2013 Author Share August 22, 2013 Now they move upstairs to the aircon area, just outside the customer service counter, near to the food court. No more at car park liao. I was there last Fri evening. The crowd around the durian sector did create a bit of a "human jam".... I think they should move back to carpark open area not so strong odour as indoor (it's a love/hate fruit) leave the indoor space for credit card pests seriously I hated those pushy credit card touting to the core when I don't need one. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damienic 5th Gear August 22, 2013 Share August 22, 2013 I bought ice-cream from young teenage door to door peddler before. I knew they are selling at higher price than NTUC and nothing special about their ice-cream but they tend to earn my empathy because of their age. Thought if they need to do this, probably they are coming from not too well off family. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarzan666 2nd Gear August 22, 2013 Share August 22, 2013 Yea..remembered during my sec school days, me & my classmates would check the papers to find some temp or part time work. I remembered me & a few classmates got conned to sell xmas cards..there was no salary, but we earn based on commission from sale of cards.. the cards not cheap & quite ugly & we had to sell higher to cover our commission..it was a big waste of time as we had to go around to sell cards..end up my family & neighbours pity me & bought some from me..

13177 Supersonic August 22, 2013 Share August 22, 2013 Well, I felt I had to find out who it is knocking at my door...maybe it could be a delivery or really looking for me (or someone in my family). I was just trying to be polite lah... Lol, i would look through the door hole first and then decide whether to ignore or open the door. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
