Entre­pre­neur at Trevi Fountain

Cou­ple of things. Firstly, we decided to head to Whee­lock Place after din­ner so that I could pop up the stairs to DBS at Liat Tower to drop off a cheque, and then we could browse a bit at Bor­ders after that.

At the self-banking lobby at DBS, I finally found the cheque drop box, which had a note above it say­ing that the quick cheque deposit box ser­vice had “merged” with the one at Plaza Sin­ga­pura, all of 2km away. Not happy with the devel­op­ment at the bank, I trudged down the stairs to com­plain to Naomi, who appeared to be in con­ver­sa­tion with a young boy of about 14.

She wasn’t in con­ver­sa­tion, it turned out. She couldn’t have under­stood a thing he said because all he said while bran­dish­ing three ball­point pens were, “some­thing some­thing project some­thing some­thing sixty dol­lars some­thing some­thing give me some­thing some­thing generosity”.

Now that I was clued in on such scams, I asked the boy what project this was, and he said, “some­thing some­thing enter­pre­neur­ship some­thing some­thing suc­cess depend on you some­thing something”.

On fur­ther prob­ing about his school, he said, “some­thing some­thing can’t reveal that because some­thing some­thing mis­rep­re­sen­ta­tion some­thing some­thing park mall”.

At this point, I think the boy realised there wasn’t going to be a sale, and after I con­firmed that fact, walked away back to his fel­low “project mates”, who appeared to be show­ing and telling some other pedes­tri­ans on the Orchard Road sidewalk.

Nabeh, think you can con me again? No! Understand?
