the lucky pick II

so she asked me where i stay, who's car that i'm driving, whether i'm studying or working.... i just answer all her questions honestly without even thinking.. well, she don't seems to be so interested to remember anyway... so i was trying to tear off the envolope.. damn hard to tear off okay, it took me like.... half a minute! then i saw some picture on the envolope and it's so small and it was at night and i was in the car so it's very dark... so there's a picture in it with few cars and some RM 100,000 printed on top of the cars picture.. i thought it's advertisement or what.. i was looking for the word "shopping voucher" or "thank you for participating" but it was nowhere in sight... then, i ask, "kan na li de?" (see where one?)

Girl A: oh, mei you shi ma? (then she sighed)
oh, nothing on it is it?

Girl B: Bu shi ah, ni kan ching chu yi dian, zhong le!!!
no, see properly, you got it!!!

dy: -_- (questions mark all over)

Girl A: (with a sudden change of tone, very loud as well, and super excited) shi ma? Miss, gong xi ni o, ni cou zhong le wo men de da jiang!! ni deng yi xia, gei wo kan yi xia...
Miss, congratulations! you won the grand prize! wait, let me see...

then she took a look on the envolope and took out a one-page newspaper cutoff, which is very very old looking newspaper cut (can see that it'ss been took in and out a lot of times from the look of the folding) and it's Chinese newspaper, the picture on the newspaper cut is the same like the one in the envolope, got cars... and RM100,000 writen there...

Girl B: Gong xi ni o Miss... (shake my hand few times...)
Congratulations Miss...

Girl A: Miss, you see this, you won the grand prize... bla.. bla.... this is in the papers as well, you can see it's sponsored by some famous companies that i don't recall now... (she said that with a very super duper excited tone... )

dy: uh....... ah ha....?

she continue babbling about the prize in mandarin, talking very fast and loud and excited.. at the same time, she sounded like a robot.. like she said this so many times that she's too fluent and sounded like reading from a script.. (sounded like what i'm doing everyday at work tho...) quite a good actress though...

so at the very moment when she suddenly turned to be so excited, i confirmed it was a scam... I was half unsure at first when she asked me to pick a card earlier cos they looked like those promoters who are working part time for some local cheap product company, giving out flyer and free sample type? and when she shake my hand and congrats me with the worn out newpaper advertisement, i damn confirm they're cheaters!!!

so after they got all excited like they were the ones who won, especially Girl A, i just told them that i don't want it.. it's okay.. i don't have time to collect it..

right at that moment, my sis came in the car and just said, "worry, we don't want... bye" then asked me to drive away...

so i just repeatedly told them off that it's okay, i don't want it and i need to go.. Girl A, still with a very excited tone, repeatedly said something in mandarin that i don't really catch what she said cos i really want to leave, i think she's trying to pester me to take the "item" that i "won"...

she scared the hell outa me when she excitedly and loudly say that i "won" grand prize.. luckily shorty got in the car and we left... they didn't even tried to get my address or other particulars.. i mean... IF i REALLY won and it's a genuine lucky draw, they should have taken down my at least my phone number right? but no... when we insisted to leave, they just steped back and let me go.. with a quite disappointed look...

come to think of it, i should have get their "company" details and pretend to be happy about the winning and see what's next and then report it to police... when i was driving off, i saw they were preying for another victim... good luck to those other victims out there, hopefully they won't fall for it..
