cip.

i had cip ytd, early sat morning at redhill mrt.
it was quite fun, yet still quite akward.
imagine how embarrassing the scenario is when you have been one of those people where other people approach you for a donation and now the role is reversed and you're the one asking for money.

i could really empathesize with the people having to go for flag day, it must be awful.

imagine people darting strange and annoyed looks at you.
some are even worse, showing you mock ignorance and just continuing their way.
the worst comes when some look at you for a moment there, start to open their bags, and walk away, as a sign of distraction and mock hope - how horrifying?

some friendly people will go up the walkway and show me their "already donated" stickers as proof, one guy was damn funny, he sticked it on the end of his shirt and pulled it to show us, like revealing belly button rofl.

another uncle was even more amusing, he was like, OMG, CAUGHT! Then i was like rolling my eyes and laughing. It was fun.

are singaporeans so unsympathic nowadays?

maybe not, and that still remains a debatable issue.

there's one refined lady, who when i approached her for donations, she started to take out her wallet to give, and she questioned what is the donation for.
after i told her, she donated more - what a nice lady.

there are also others, when they see the bag, they don't even wait for me to say anything or approach them, and freely give, like automatically.

Generous singaporeans versue the more wary singaporeans? Maybe.

It was really enriching :]

Back to self.

I have been suffering from sore throat and severe coughing this week.
right now it's still ongoing and i feel very terrible.
the sore throat went so sore that i swear, i sounded like a guy when i talked to my classmate - imagine the horror!
the severe coughing was coughing for 3-5 times straight and it's loud, and really makes people wanna puke that type.

terrible, i hope i get well soon :D
