Today, I was stopped by a lady at an MRT station.

And no, she wasn't hooking me up or something. Just trying to "educate the public, especially teenagers on how to effectively manage their finances so that you will have a firm financial background to fall back on during tough times".

Yadda, yadda, yadda.

Then she also asked me a lot of negative questions. I felt interrogated although she was trying to make the whole thing as casual as she could. As though interrogation was not enough, she was asking questions that crossed my comfort zone.

Question 1: Have you ever thought of what you're going to do when you can't get a job?
Answer: Erm, no. (Frankly, it's a no. I don't worry about such things. It's way out of my league.)

Question 2: So what if you have difficulties finding a job for let's say, one or two years. Have you thought of what you can do?
Answer: Haven't really thought about that.

And there were other senseless questions that I can't recall.

But I definitely do recall her asking me to sit down at their booth to get more information on financial planning. Very obviously, I rejected her. When she asked wy, I just said I ddn't want.

It started out as a "survey". But turned out to be some lame finance thingy. Seriously, they're just out there to prey on unsuspecting victims. And the gullible will definitely step right into their scheming trap, only to find someone talking them crap, in a way sicker than Michael Jack.

I'm heavily influenced by rap music.
