Flag day--- test of guts, skill, charm

HI! good morning! would u like to donate to viriya community services? its a voluntary wellfare org that fund projects like dreams@ kolam ayer, light of hope centre, whispering hearts child care, ......................
on that fateful day....i dare say more than 5k students stomped every corner of singapore seeking out donations... some may say u need the guts to ask for donations. some may also say u need the skill to convince the people to donate...others well.... they think that their charm *ahem-cough cough* would aid them in their conquest for donations. its a day where u have to shed ur shy side of urself and face ur darkest fears....(lols). its not easy to go about asking for donations... everyone would at least have a chance in their life to have this experience of asking for donations. once u do u will need a mixture of all the 3 valuable assets u have-skill,guts,charm. but thats if u even have them.
i cant say i am the shy type but i dun really speak to strangers much. i teamed up with a good friend jey-sng. it was a bout 8.30 am when the day started off. we went to collect our donation bags from the various collection points scattered all around singapore. of cos jey-sng and i were special. our re-sl group was working with this vwo and we have to do 4 hrs more than any of the othr ppl...boohooo lolx. actually the extra 4 hours was something different. we had to go down to boon keng (water front area) to set up abooth to recruit ppl hu wanted to join a reading prgramme... ok so jey-sng left smething at hme and we spent half an hour going to his house to get it. lols we actually asked his condo's secruity guard for donations. guess wad he said.... aiya i on duty cant donate.... cannot or dun wan.... there is a fine line between the two...
ok so we walked aroung seeking donations while lugging some huge bulky item i was suppouse to carry for the recruitment drive... we walked from senkang until toapayoh.... is that far? man i only knew that my legs were killing me. lols jey-sng was dam pisssed with me cos the ppl i asked for donations gave me lots of notes...NOTES DUDE THE MINIMUM FOR A NOTE IS $2 wakKAKAKAKA. he got coins...so ya=x
keeping the journey through singapore as short as possible except for one thing. jey-sng u horny bastard.... lols and yes as what any one of u guys were thinking if u read my earlier posts... we ended up commenting about girls....again...lols makes me feel like a sexist but this time it had nothing to do with me. ok we walked until toapayoh hub and then we saw the first group of chij toapayoh( short form i will be using is IJ) girls. jey-sng decided to ask them for donations but they were buying some earrings and other stuff so we waited...and waited....and waited. DAMN IT take so long sia =x i will nvr understand a girls urge to shop... lols
ok but they were done after 10 mins. so we asked... and they donated and jey-sng went mad. why? cos the one who donated to him was some ulti sexy chiobu lols. then jey-sng went derilious cos at the start he was complaining about all the daoers then now he was saying how much he loves flag day... dotz and i was dumb enough to follow him through the next part. he wanted to follow them. they went into macs to eat ya in the end we went in too....
there jey-sng went ogling at her...^^ i am so jealous lols but i let him take the prime seating position. and for the next 30 minutes i heard him suaning me again and again. lols. shit it took alot out of me to stop myself from looking back but ya wadeva. then it was time to launch a counter-attack on his suaning. i told him she was from my training club. he bought it and went... nvr mnd. but ya it was a pack of lies. =x srry dude didnt mean to make u angry...
ok after 4 hrs we went back to AMK collection point and returned the bags. then i met up with hankit and we went to waterfront... bloody hell take 45mins to reach boonkeng then another 30 minute walk to find the place then another 15 minutes to locate our 'booth' KBKBKBKB WTF!!! my legs nearly gave way. waited for 4 hrs which slowly passed and we only managed to get one form completed...so demoralizing, so depressing, GRRRR!!!!!! the time spent didnt seem worth it
