He's not a Salesman...
There was a knock on my door.Xenophobic mother told me that I should ignore it.
Knocking continues…
Unable to ignore it anymore, but too comfortable to reach for the door, I called out
“Who’s that?”
“Err… hello”
It was a male’s voice. The knocking persisted. I was increasingly irritated. Again, I asked,
“Who’s that?”
“Is anybody home?”
(“Duh! What a stupid thing to ask! Of course somebody is home!”)
But all I said again was
“Who’s that?”
“Err… can you open the door please?”
(My mum taught me never to open the door to strangers, so did Mr Policeman)
“No, I can’t. Who’s that?”
I was really getting pissed. Why can’t you just tell me who you are? I’ve heard “This is so-so from so-so, I would like to..” before. No, this guy just wants me to open the door.
Coupled with that persistent knocking, there was no way I was going to do that unless he tells me who he is.
After that “No, I can’t”, Mr Secretive gives up…
“Never mind, its ok.”
Shuffling feet, some rustle and he was gone.
On second thoughts, he really must not have been a salesman.
Now I wonder, what did he want?

Can’t believe its Robocop 3 on TV today! Can’t they think of anything more decent than that?
Up next on the bitch-list, they really don’t have that many things to publicize about do they? I’ve had enough of seeing excerpts of Night Shaymalan’s “Signs” for over 2 whole weeks. I’m sick of that little girl talking about that crying scene, sick of that interview with Shaymalan going on about belief and what his staff has got to say about the very “Hitchcock” factor.
I’m so glad that August 14 has passed. I no longer have to see The making of Signs. I wonder what’s next. Oh, its back to LOST. And how its sooo great that is brought to us by our favorite Channel 5. “LOST on 5” yeah…
Also, I am so glad August 9 has passed too. I was getting really tired of all that publicity for “Stars, starting on the 9th of August, after the National Day parade”. That and “Full Circle, starting on the 9th of August, after the National Day parade”.
I usually like Arts Central. They show pretty good stuff sometimes. And the advertisement breaks are, I feel shorter. But today, I was getting just tired of it. I have seen the advertisements repeat themselves during every break. There was the Singapore film thing at The Arts House, I know that Stacy Kent will be here, I have seen enough of our Clare (what’s her surname?). Its an interesting thing to note that when the adult audience were interviewed about Clare’s performance, they never refer to her by name. 3 people were interviewed, all 3 referred to her as “The pianist… very dedicated to her craft” “She was very good” or “She has very great stamina … long opening piece” There were advertisements on the DimSum Dollies, oh that broadway thing too, there’s Stomp!, some jazz thing, and what else? That Dance by SDT. Actually, these were ok. Just that Stacy Kent is getting to me a little bit more. But really, at the rate that I am eating all these advertisements, I might just “Call sistic now to book tickets”!!
I’m going to catch ER now. ER is a decent show which Channel 5 chooses to air at an indecent hour of 2am.
By now, you would have guessed that I spend way too much time on TV. I wish I have Cable tv, but then again, I really won’t get a life if I do. I mean, one huge motivating factor for going out, is just that TV can really suck big time!
