Hotdog Mania!

The ORA food and funfair was fun. To begin with, it wasn't much of a fun fair because there wasn't much games. Almost everyone was selling food. But the waterpolo team sure had fun selling the hotdogs. In fact they (the hotdogs AND the polo team) were so hot the price was fluctuating non-stop. I would have loved to draw some fancy econs graph to illustrate the trends if not for 2 reasons: 1, I don't take economics. 2, I'm pretty sure it violates most principles of economics because the number of buyers seem the same regardless of the price.

Maybe it was thanks to j. kwang's magical tomato sauce recipe. Or our wonderful sales people. And not to forget the sales tactics:

kory and isaac: We sell the tray of hotdogs for $2 only!
someone: Ok I buy I buy
kory and isaac: *takes out hotdogs and gives her the tray*
someone: Oy! I complain ah!

It was nice to sell stuff in the crowd. We can just stuff the tray of hotdogs in their faces and tempt them. Everytime without fail, when we emerge from the crowd, the tray would be like empty liao. Cos we're pro. Of course it helped that other people sold stuff like grapes. 10 for $1.50. We're not Greek after all (refer to yj's previous post). Somehow I always have this mental picture of Greek scholars doing nothing but sitting on couches and sucking on grapes. So of course, since everything is relative, hotdogs were relatively proper food.

And of course I have to take this chance to thank everyone for supporting the waterpolo team!
Anyway it was fun.

Now on to some negative stuff. You know sometimes when you take the train or any other form of public transport and you feel real down. Your day just didn't go well. And as you're standing on the MRT or bus, you don't feel like looking at anyone's face. You just wanna look down and stay in your own little comfort zone. But then you look down, and then you see these ugly feet!
















First of all, if you notice, this is one big and fat foot. Of course, this is proportionate to its owner who has hips almost the size of the bus itself. Secondly, you should notice that even though there is the slipper strap, the slipper itself is nowhere to be seen. The dotted line indicates the probable area of the slipper. Which brings us to the question of why is the person wearing slippers in the first place since the slipper is too freakin small for bigfoot. We should probably thank him for cleaning the floor with his/her feet, but I personally think he should just go walk barefoot because he simply defeats the purpose of having footwear. It's just bloody disgusting.

And of course something like that really spoils your day, esp. when you're down to begin with.
