It is very irritating to be approached by those Prudentials insurance sellers at Tampines interchange. It is just my luck to have met them twice in two weeks straight! At first I could not tell why they could tell that I'm in NS (I was in civilian attire both times). Then I realized. It's my shoes. My brooks shoes that is so 'army'. I swear the next time I book out I'm wearing my civilian shoes!

Anyway, I wish I just have the courage to ask them, 'since your product is so good, do you subscribe to Prudential?' I bet the answer is no. It is one thing to sell something that you are convicted of (I am more tolerant of that), but it is another to persuade others to something that even you might not even be convicted of. Also, I utterly hate their sales tactics. They try to compare your beloved POSBank to their INSURANCE, I repeat, INSURANCE company. Then they try to tell you that your teeny-weeny 0.25% interest in bank makes you a loser because Prudentials give you 3% and you can withdraw some $10-20,000 more! Of course, they somehow 'forgot' to tell you its a long term investment and it is just so different from a bank la! How to compare like that? Anyway she completely missed the point of us putting money into banks. They just want your signature. And once you sign, good luck NSF, your money is gone :)

Of course I wasn't too good at rejecting people. I'm too polite, I just think of excuses to go while the salesgirl keep asking me to 'sit down first, I tell you more'.

I: Erm, do you have website? I go back and find out more...
Salesgirl: Oh, we don't have website
I: Huh, no website meh?
Salesgirl: Actually got lah, but very little info one. You won't understand one...come sit down I tell you more.
I: Don't understand then put website for what? (I almost laughed at my own statement)
Salesgirl: Aiyah, you sit down first la....
I: ....

So in total she asked me to sit down 3 times. Of course I didn't... then I just requested for a brochure (which she again tells me I won't understand -.-) and left because my bus came. Phew..

And anyway so ai lui (love money) for what?
