Bah.This is so insulting. hahha. I gonna waste another one hour writing this blog. shucks.
Well i started with what happened over my weekend. crammed with one event after another.
friday after i finished tuition i really just went back and collapsed. woke up at 7 am on sat, had to be in church by 8am.. its been a long time since i did flag day.. but i like flag day actually. heh. especially if u do with ur best friends. all the youth were tasked to go to orchard to sell flags the whole day, but since it was too early we all went to little india. hah. i don't know why we chose to go there but ya.
It was congested with all of us decked in red shirts..*premature christmas* There was one funny incident that happened there. i was asking ppl to donate and this man who was quite elderly with a walking stick who looked quite well off asked what it was for. He asked in chinese.. so i had to answer him in my limited vocabulary. I din know how to tell him that it was for a community service centre for the elderly and youth so i just said," gei na xie bu xing de ren" *give to the unfortunate* he den became agitated and began saying he also very unfortunate also nobody help him. I inched away slowly. hahaa.
I
was the team leader for siao er and her other rjc friends, we were supposed to go to wheelock place and orchard mrt there to ask for donations.. so we went after an hour at little india. my tin was quite full by 12 pm.. i really very hardworking sia, din even have any break. my shoulders and back was aching for standing so long...I was guarding one of the entrances from orchard mrt,cos the other side already armed with all the rest ready to tackle anyone in their war path.
HAHha. I really asked every single person that passed me la.. There were many stingy ang mohs, but very occasionally there were those who were v generous and friendly.
Heh i got lots of two dollar notes which really spurred me on.. and actually i really have to agree that girls really do get more donations than the guys. hahha. Colin came to join me just before lunch and he kept shooting me the looks when i got my donations. hahahaa. was quite fun la.
There was this really cute little boy that was about to put all his mum's money into my tin. and he also wanted all my stickers. his mum had to keep some for his mrt fare and he just left in a daze with two stickers in his hand. i waved him bye bye.. and turned away den he called out real loudly," zeh zeh! Bye bye!! " so cute la!!! next time my son will also be such a darling!!
i also did a good deed.. heh. got this ang moh who was sitting at a bench nearby den i asked him for donation.. he asy he only got fifty dollars..so i said nvm. after a while he came to me and asked me where was the nearest pay phone cos he needed to call his fren who was late and he needed change.. so i just gave him 10cents to use. den he was pretty surprised that i was goingto give him 10cents like 10cents was alot of money. hahha. so yar, he came back with his fren and donated some coins back. =)
after lunch we headed to infront of paragon to sell flags instead so we wun be like a plague at the orchard mrt. haha. summore all the miserly decided to wake up and walk ard after lunch.. and it was really hard to get ppl to donate. we walked past ngee ann city where they was this women's fair or sth. there was this stage and this aerobics class was doing a really spastic dance. rofl.
met up uncle eddy and damily.. brought little sarah to sell flags. she so cute she ask ppl also donate lor. but then she got tired of asking so when i asked she would just stick her tin out. and her excuse would be," ur tin very heavy already" hahha.
we all headed back to church at 4 and i helped to count the money. we had coin counting machines but we also had to count manually. i was with all the adults in a room with all the tables shaped into a conveyor belt and i sat on one of the desks..counting money tin by tin. nv counted so much money in my entire life. hhaa. den after all the tins were counted i helped to do checking with the coin machines. quite a fun experience la. den helped to do some admin. stuffed a curry puff down den had to rush for practice to sing for service at 730. was really shagged by the time i got home.
woke up sunday real early again. downpour. after second service kaiyin, colin and i went thai express to eat lunch.. actually i find comfort in being in a nice cozy place in the midst of very heavy rain knowing u are inside and u can look out the window at the storm..it just feels all warm and toasty..which leads me to my ideal date.. my ideal date would be jus to cuddle up in alot of throw pillows, cushions and wrapped ard in woolly comforter, next to the window where it is pouring outside, with a cup of hot chocolate and good book in my hand... with some music playing in the background..(preferably corrine may or acoustic) and den my darling would be cookin for me in the kitchen we'll have a candlelight dinner and den we'll just sit by the tv watch a good show and snuggle up in all the cushys! aww..
well.. i got home on sunday in the early evening and finally had a rest.. and its a new week again.. sigh!yesterday still go shopping with marie summore. hahah. not intended, but we ended up spending a few hours at mango. heh.
finally the end of the entry that i wrote before. bah. i feel kinda stupid now. hahha.
