License2Play is not a license to stick your booger on my computer screen.

Day 2 and Day 3 of the License2Play event was much easier on my voice. For Day 2, Lynette printed out a huge sign, “FREE!” and hung it from the top of our booth. Passers-by were less defensive and there were many whom I could pull close enough to whisper into their ears what SCOGA is all about and why they should sign-up. Without having to strain my voice, I could talk all day and all night and not feel exhausted at all.

Day 3 was even better. SPH gave us these little notepads to give away.

I stood a few meters away from the booth and gave each passer-by 1 brochure + 1 notepad. For the first time in five years, I witnessed Kiasuism in Singapore. A few aunties tried to snatch the notepad off my hand. Some who had already grabbed one pulled their children towards me aggressively to grab a notepad each. I was shocked!

Then, those who have received the freebie started reading the brochure and after reading the brochure, they looked for our booth to sign-up for membership on their own. I didn’t even need to say a word.

On the morning of Day 2, two men who were wearing official SCOGA T-Shirts came to the booth and asked if they could use my HP Mini Netbook for a while. I said yes, they sat down, inserted a USB thumbdrive, clicked the mouse, removed the thumbdrive and placed the netbook back in my hands. They were done within a few seconds.

I opened up my netbook to check for new mails and saw – a lumpy grey booger sticking to my monitor screen. YUCK! DOUBLE YUCK! TRIPLE YUCK!

In case you don’t know what a booger is, here’s one for sticking on your own screen.
