got up unusually early on a saturday morning for the sake of FLAG DAY. so damn angry in the morning cos i've gotta sacrifice my sleep just to collect donations. urghh. usually i'll wake up at 11am lah. i woke up at 7am today. so irritating. i guess my mum could sense my mood and she actually volunteered to write parent's letter for me just to get me away from the flag day. wad a nice and cool mum i have. (: haha.
but in the end, i still went cos i heard from sonam that it's compulsory. if i hadn't gone today, they'ld still make me do it some other day, so might as well get over it quickly. and besides, i'm lacking lotsa CIP hours. haha. so this can contribute a little. (:
i've always dreaded this day to come. firstly, this is the first time i'm doing. secondly, i dun even donate for people, so i dun really expect anyone to donate for me. thirdly, it feels as though you're begging people for money.
assembled at newton. many people got up at like 6am while i have the pleasure of leaving my house at 7.40am and still be early. (: haha. we were supposed to reach newton mrt at 8am. so damn early. at first i thought that we were supposed to collect donations at newton. wad a weird place. cos it's like not many people go there and who'ld be there at such an early morning??
but we were allowed to go anywhere after collecting the tins. (: so me and ying went to tp. (: heh. favourite place. it was quite ok lah. wasn't as difficult as i expected. all me and ying did was to stand there with the tins and people came up to donate for us. felt like a "thank-you machine" cos we din do anything other than saying thank you. haha. damn easy.
there are many nice people in singapore actually. (: i din approach a single person to ask them to donate, they donated on their own accord. there were funny people too. some people asked weird qns like wad school were we from instead of where to donations will go to. haha.
many people donated cos we were from cedar. so cool. (: our school's kinda popular, just realised. haha. (:
many little kids gave us donations. very cute. (: some students gave us donations too cos they said they understand how tough it is to collect donations outside and they've been thru it b4. so nice. guess i'll be nicer in the future and help a little.
ying is crazy lah. she completed all 4 pages of stickers lor! i only completed 3 1/2. ): she even got donations when she was running lah. i dunno how she did that. we were rushing back to newton after collecting at tp, den this lady stopped her to give her donations. so nice. (:
returned all the tins and stickers and off i went to tp. (: home sweet home. rested and slept. damn tired after standing there with the tin for 3 hours plus. great sense of achievement. (:
was super duper late for rehearsals cos i wanted to sleep. kinda guilty. anw, rehearsal started at 4pm but i reached at like 6.40pm? haha. damn "EARLY" huh.
had some missionary sermon thingy. the speaker was a CHINESE-SPEAKING CAUCASIAN. damn cool. he's damn funny lah. kept laughing like crazy.
i just realised that huajie is a sadist. i was doodling on this piece of paper and i accidentally drew on my bag and he kept laughing at me abt it lah! evil him.
that's all abt my day i guess. (: haha. shall blog till here.
