Investiture yesterday was fun, especially the part where the exco's and SLs danced.
speaking of today.
FLAG DAY!!!
went to AMK to collect my own tin from the ppl running the organisation
which helps the disabled elderly.
armed with a sticker and a tin, i went in search of shilling, coins and money notes from the PEOPLE (the public)
YA and his friends, ZW and KY decides to go as a group to the area around AMK Hub.
YA's first experience holding a tin and asking for donations in a public place! super enthu man...
at first, YA gets his first donation from himself, drops a 50 cent coin and gleefully stuck a sticker on his sleeve.
then YA is out alone in the open world
dares not ask ppl to donate
he sees ppl passing by without a care
eventually, mustering his courage, HE ASKS.
''Hello!, would you like to donate!?''
if the person donates, yippeee, money in the tin!
if not, no money earned.
anyways, given a donation or not, he ALWAYS says a thank you*
''Hello! would you like to donate to help the diabled elderly?!''
kind passer-by takes out purse and drops:
$10( biggest single donation i received)
$2
$1
50cents or
20 cent or
10cent or
5cent( the worst, so light, small value= no good, no good)
takes sticker and i thank them!
there were lots of ppl who shun me, and those who looked at me as if i was begging or as if i was a pest.
c'mon ppl, donate for a good cause, cant even spare 10cents issit!? (or even 5cents)
Such tiresome work, under the scorching sun, cigarette smoke from bins,YA keeps asking and asking and asking ppl to donate. eventually, his tin can rings of clinks and clangs of plentiful coins, but only 1/3 filled. YA finally experiences how hard this job is.
he turns his heard to the left and right.
he looks to his horror, he sees other school's students holding the tins,
even his own classmates KS him! KS= kill steal, steal customers, steal donors= steal source of donation money.
when asked, passerby who donated simply point to their stickers.
drats...
he and group eventually tired of standing around, walks to somewhere else.
along the way finds HB, JY, Clara, Sam at Mr Bean. relaxing.
compares my tin with JY's, OMG mine's so light!!! T~T
come to think of it, those who travelled to other places where there is less competition and more human traffic collected the most money. it also helps if one were of the female gender.
i look too menacing. and it helps if one asks every person who passes by to donate.
anyways...
after that, i felt a little dissappointment that i did not complete the tin, nevertheless, i felt happy and fulfilled. i have helped lessen some pain in a disabled person's life by raising money!
i felt happy and sad, a mixed feeling. what a strange emotion, should i call it hapad?(happy + sad)
Even SH's tin is so heavy, so is YX , Rus's, Masai's, Yiwen( heaviest, got bottle of water as a gift. i mean the tin, not her), Michelle...etc. even feng yi's....
-.-
then went to Cathay with ZW watch Pink Panther 2
rather funny. and those who went investure heard russell's speech about
NO MAN IS AN ISLAND
the detective in the movie with a silly french accent said: no man is an is land.
really a goon....
though i feel they could have added some scenes on how the villian stole the treasures.
the detective was both really clever with a strong sense of deduction but silly at the same time.
enjoyed it, hilarious...
no birthday bash this year! mayb everyone forgot, ahahahaha...
mayb tmr go eat at seafood restaurant tmr with family.
time to snooze, gd night all, mayb i will have dreams of collecting tins and money.
