My legs are reallly really really aching. Joy and I volunteered to help her cousin hand out some flyers at Bishan area on thursday. And hell did the odd 15 of us combed the entire Bishan vicinity. So if any of you living in Bishan and are reading this, we were the ones that handed out the patent like flyers about a condo in serangoon. But please spare a thought for us. For we had to climb 25 floors which staircases felt like 2.4 km run. What's trecherous when some hdb flats had their lifts under renovation and we had to climb up the 25 floors of staircases.
I guess you could say Joy & I had fun accomplishing a task. But a task that we both think would hunt us whenever if we ever decide to pruchase a house. It left an icy feeling in my back bone that i can never forget really. It was like way more worse than seeing a ghost, infact if i were standing next to a ghost (perhaps friendly ones) we would have been both scared of our souls. You see, the haunting part of handing out the fliers were seeing the houses that had paint splashed acrossed, or summons demanding for the money. However i can remember one house that was fully COVERED with some plastic like material with a police report stuck on it, and yes obviously with paint. Another house had a grim and unfortunate mark of having the previous dickhead owner who owned the loanshark money and the new tenants were harrased madly, till they had to install some camera. And the last house was one of the creepier ones, having to see yellow and red paint with a few notice hanging to say that the tenant has not been attending counselling sessions. And there were like shitloads of empty beer can bottles and the windown was open, so we scurried our bags away.
So after that day Joy and i learnt our lesson, if we wanted to do this again,
1) instead of like 2 people, surround yourself with like 4-5 people. It's ok to be a puss. Every human is scared of something.
2) Like device an einstein plan that can help you get all the flyers, without getting your muscles ached.
Whatever it is, i shall not want to see a flight of stairs in the following week.
