an exhibition of the wrong kind

Hannah and me went to Midvalley today to pick up our t-shirts for Sunday's Terry Fox run. Strangely enough, the booth was set up in the middle of a financial exhibition. We had no plans on staying, but to get in you have to register and such. You give them your identity cards and they scan them and print out your information (SO cool) and even fill up a form for you. This was for a true/false info hunt, which we decided to do cuz we were there and such. So in we walked, and there were booths by a bunch of banks. We were initially just looking for the answers, but then people started talking to us like they thought we were really there for the exhibition. This felt a little depressing later on. Do I seriously look like I need a personal loan?? Unless it's for that purple Sony phone...mmm...anyway, they kept giving us things - pens, bags, notebooks. We eventually finished up the info hunt and cuz we got all the answers right (go figure), we got more free stuff - an MPH voucher worth RM20, a t-shirt and a calculator/notebook thing. Eventually, we got to the Terry Fox booth and found out that they didn't have the sizes we wanted yet. So we went to have a teppanyaki lunch and did a bunch of other things. When I got home, I spent like four hours making cookies. I can't even look at them now.

But I mean, seriously. I feel a million years old. I'm telling myself that they probably didn't expect people who weren't there for a reason to be there, but still. Grrr.
