Flag Day
Today was flag day. It's a day where we go out to Singapore to with 2 tin cans to collect money from the public. It's js like Hari Bendera. Hey I think it's d same...haha. Js that we have small little stickers instead of the big car stickers distributed in Malaysia. Guess it's cos much lesser Singaporeans have cars. So the day started at bout 5.45am. I mean woke up at that time, but we started moving only at 7.30am. My group went to Yishun first. Everywhere we went, there were pink ppl around. Oh our flag day 'uniform' is a pink colour t-shirt with the wordings NUSSU on the front anf Rag + Flag Day at the back. So beginning semangat la...who also ask. Walked around everywhere to ask ppl donate. Small kids going to school also kena attack. Basically we js asked whoever we run into. Our aim was to fill up our 2 cans. Around ten had brunch at Mcd. By that time, our aim reduced to 1 can only. Cos at the rate we were going....hehehe... Actually it felt like an outing to see Singapore. We hopped from places to places like Woodlands, Choa Chu Kang... Other than asking for donation, we had another break at 2pm and 5.30pm for tea n dinner. So it was like ask, break, ask, break again, then go back d. Could c the many faces of ppl. Some readily approach u to donate. Some js turn their faces away when u speak and pretend u're not there (quite rude la...even I would js smile n wave my hand or something) But, can't blame them la...cos the whole Singapore was swarmed with pink flaggers from NUS. To quote a donor, "I came from Clementi to Woodlands still can't escape these ppl....donate only lor..." Well...would I go flagging again? Well...we'll c next year. =p Oh anyway in the end I could only manage to fill mayb 3/4 of the first can. Shu Lin's was almost full d...she so ho liao...everyone oso ask. Old or young also kacau =D
