::just woke up from a tiring day... had flag day today (well, yesterday considering its past 12 midnight now) reported to school at about 9.45.. think 3 classes were doing the flag day, we were the only sec 4 class there, the rest were sec 3.. most of my classmates there already, so just waited for a few before Mr Low distributed the bags.. it was for Presbyterian Community Service, childcare services, old-folks home, churches etc.. wonder what would happen if we went around asking for donations for NKF.. hmm..

tried asking Jason to come with me like we did last year, but he was more interested in going with his "group".. Lian Jie had a big group following him to Compass Point, so theres no point going.. too many people at a particular spot isn't good.. so just walked to Hougang Point, don't think anybody would go there.. intially I felt I couldn't do it.. kept telling myself I can't do it alone then also felt a deep sadness.. but after a few successful donations, that made me ever more determined.. sorta ignited the fire in me..
worked till 11.30 at hp before I decided to move to a new location.. by this time I had the amount some people would collect during their entire 5 hrs.. the weight in my hand was a great feeling.. took 72 to YCK Mrt station.. stood at the walkway to the station where the buses alight people.. the donations weren't as constant as hp's but got lots more people walking by.. mainly I just wait till a bus came and unload a swarm of people.. the walkway's quite long and straight, so people could see from a distance and prepare their spare change already.. hah..
was quite good business until some sec 3s came.. took the Mrt to Yishun.. again, at the walkways.. were some Cedar Girls doing the same flag day, but don't mind the competition.. so stayed around Yishun Mrt there for some time.. found out there was a hole at the side when a coin dropped out.. wasn't much of a problem, just didn't move the bag around so much its OK.. a coin would drop out if you shake it though..
returned to AMK to try to finish the half page of stickers.. AMK was easiest by far.. lotsa people.. had 3 of my 5 $2 notes there.. in the end, some people still wanted to donate even though I ran out of stickers.. was about 2.20 whe I finished all 150 stickers.. regretted not coming with another person.. then would have extra stickers if I ran out.. took my time to reture to school with that heavy bag.. think there's more than 2kg worth of coins in there? met up with some of my classmates back in school.. was suprised they still have so many stickers left.. signed the form and rested my tired legs.. standing for 5 hours is tiring you know..
I do admit, this was a wasted bonding opportunity..::
