Never knew it was this hard to merely ASK for something

Have to request if my neighbours are willing to let their kids be filmed for my group's 225 video. I have been thinking about it since the time of our project meeting which was yesterday.. how to broach the subject in the most polite yet persuasive way possible. Grappling to find a way round it. Urgh!!! Hate how it's supposedly an easy task, yet an excruciatingly tough one at the same time. Because I merely have to ASK but asking can be so tough. If they do allow, our filming can commence! Otherwise, we'd have to backtrack and search for kids forever.

Never really talked to the parents before, only the grandfather, so that's why I think it's hard. Anti-smoking campaign. Or maybe it's coz I'm afraid of rejection, coz I know how desperate we are for the kid. My mom was like, "... but be prepared for rejection" Shitbucks, that word was just the worst thing I can imagine at a time like this. Rejection. Maybe that's why guys are afraid of that, coz they don't want to face rejection and suffer eternal shame and humiliation. Likewise, it is going to be a very awkward thing for me whenever I see them. Next door neighbours leh, how to run away siol.


p.s Ok, grandfather gave me the thumbs up. But parents' approval is still crucial. Have to wait till they come back home in the evening. Urgh. Omg, when he asked what the video was gonna be about, and said "about kids?" I smiled sheepishly and said "Yeah..." F*!!! It's a bloody anti-smoking ad and I couldn't possibly say YES right?! COZ HE FREAKIN SMOKES.

p.p.s Oh yeahhh... I got them ;D My neighbour's awesomez. [edit 11.10pm]
