hi everyone ! its had been a long time since i posted... haha its had been a busy day... and it feels good to be healthy again .... man,... having a fever sure no fun at all... headaches... 'heated skins', and much more . . ..

anyway, i'm going to post about the last saturday's flag day.. on 24/2/07 .... sry its kinda belated..

FLAG Day


Did you know what's the meaning of flag day? yup... its the day whereby students or should i say volunteers head down the street to collect donation.... and i was doing it for the first time.

Affiruddin and I teamed up together...and we headed down to Orchard road, knowing that it is the favourite haunt for all donation collectors ..... True to our words, the moment we alighted the bus, which was in front of the Thailand embassy, we could already spot a few students had already taken up the spot... after walking along the street, we finally found our spot.... which was in front of NGEE ANN CITY, directly opposite the PARAGON building...

Of all the people in Orchard road these are the type of people who may likely give donations;

TOURIST

don't mention the Asian tourists... lets just mention the ANG-MOH tourists... mostly they would just ask what is the collection for and said..."hmm... interesting" and good thing was that they would put in only notes , rarely coins !!!

cons; some tourists found the collection was like 'pest' therefore some of them will try to interrogate you....

Family with small children

well this is because most parents will give coins to their children and asked them to put into the can...

ICE CREAM SELLER (roadside)

yup they can help to fill your can indirectly... because there was an ice cream seller set up beside where i'm standing and after his customer purchased the ice cream, they may have coins like 20 cents to 50 cents and they would simply just put into my can..=D

But there are people who you don't need to border to ask....for example the couples, people that was rushing to work, teenagers

Anyway, something interesting happened to me as well... during flag day, at about 11am, an uncle who was given a feat to distribute free tissues paper came.... .. and since both of us were in the same boat , which was to attract public's attention, two of us hit it off and cooperate with each other.... For eg. when someone gave a donation to me, that person will also get free tissue papers....

yup that's all... oh ya ... i must thank zhengyan for setting up the class blog..... haha i'm sure that he had put in his best effort to create such a magneficient template... well he deserved two thumbs up !!! YIPEEEEEE.... THANK YOU ZHENGYAN !!!! k cya nitez
