National Day Round-the-island donation drive
Early in the morn at 6 plus i reached school. The usually quiet CCA block was suddenly revitalised with life..filled with noise and laughters..the whole block seemed to be boosted with activities.. Many pple are busy preparing for the National Day Celebs. Started off the day with a March-past Ceremony and kicked off the day with the ROUND THE ISLAND DONATION DRIVE. woots!! We were assigned to the Boon Keng-Little India-Farrer Park Area. Well just on transportation itself, it has already cost me near to 5 bucks.
We were well known for being 'Kiasu' Singaporeans!! No choice...Poaching for potential candidates for donation here and then..hoping to be the class with the heaviest donation tin. Haha. Oh yeah even taxi drivers also become our bait for donation. Well, we met an old man on his bike on our way and guess what he forked out a pile of $2 notes and gave it to us generously. Me, grace and kumar was one of the most 'kiasu' gang of all. Well, i have already get used to being rejected by pple and the various sorts of plausible excuses which pple would give upon asking for donation. Of the pple we met, i think the elderlys were the most generous ones. only 1 to 2 that we approached was unwilling to donate.
At the weighing counter, our tins amounted to 10.2 kg. Hurray!! Well, a sense of accomplishment could be seen on many faces. Meaningful and fruitful is all i felt for today!!
