YES or NO

What do you do when a stranger approach you and ask for money? Of cos, you would ignore. Then again, what if they explained the purpose was for charity? Would you ignore? How do you know these people are trustworthy? In company law, there's good business judgment rule in making a decision. In real life, street smart perhaps? So, with numerous cases of con artists in town, you determined to say NO in your heart. Then again, the look on their face, doubled up with the certs, IC, pics of those handicapped kids, yada yada yada starts to make you melt and consequently, RM XX goes to his hand. To make yourself feel better, you tell to your friend, his face looks so genuine. So just move on, is charity anyway. So you continue your journey down the road and before you know it, a bunch of people circled you, telling you to buy their handmade stuffs. They were so sweet to the extend of offering to hold your stuffs while you pen down your name. See how it starts, they say they just want you to write your name. When you start moving away, they stop you, hey listen "We need you to buy our stuff ." The price was super ex, and mind you, this was not even for charity. It was for some kind of marketing programme or competition they have, if we buy it, they get some points. Who sells stuffs just like this? That's like extortion. Small teddy for RM 60? I don't even owned a RM60 soft toy. They even go to the extend of commenting that i look mix - to be exact, i' look like korean. Seriously? (k, can't totally condemn him, maybe he really thought so, but still to me it sounds ridiculous) Yea, so me being soft heart again, gave away RM XX, comforting myself someday i might be involved in this weird competition extorting people for money too. Wish them luck and walk off.

So the point is was i being street smart in the end? Think i was thinking with my heart more than my brain.

Bummer, one time yes i get it, but twice in a row....how did that happen to me?  Well, i guess i just believe the world out there has really nice people. Naive me, when i came back, i was thrown the newspaper of the day on all the con artists stories. 

See, how hard this gets for girl like me to survive in this world. Say YES or NO????
