Flag day today
tired for most of e three moo-ers i supposed
nevertheless
everyone puts in their greatest efforts to collect as much funds as possible
well done to all
i was with ruiwen at e traffic lights near mandrian hotel
haha, it was quite a good spot
cos many tourists who came out of e hotel gave it to us
according to ruiwen,
6 out of 10 tourists would donate if approached
wow, that's a lot
i was getting rather sick of asking e question:
'excuse sir/mdm would u like to contribute to e wildlife conservation fund?"
hmm, i guess i repeated this question countless of times today
if lady luck is on me, i get usually donations of coins and small change
like: 20 cents, 50 cents or a dollar coin
if not, i was totally ignored
sometimes, i really feels that generosity really comes within
if one had e heart to donate, he/she would come forward
without being asked or approached by us
e greatest amount i collected was 2 ten dollars notes today by a middle-aged lady
she came forward and gave me e money without being approached
wow, that's kind of amazing and also
RARE...
Though tiring and exhausted
i did had a fun time today collecting funds
i bet ruiwen also had a satisfying day
cos her tin was e fullest out of e four of us
i mean jamie, singyee, me and ruiwen
ruiwen was extreme enthu in collecting
she actually went to e state
of fighting coins wuth me given by a tourist
until e coins fell out onto e road
haha, its kind of malu for both of us
but i admit this injected much fun into the tedious collection process
Den miss wee sent a message over and said that
she was at OG orchard with her cousins
so, desperate ruiwen and me called her
and literally threatened her to come over to mandrian hotel to give us money
haha, she was too lazy to walk over
so we had to make our way there to get e money from her
she gave us some coins a two dollar note each
Thank you miss wee for your kind donation!!!
We had lunch at delifrance
and den went kino to buy books
after returning e tins, singyee, jamie and charmaine gang
went to cineleisure to watch
devil wears prada
well, i had a spilting headache and left them early
guess i had not enough rest over e last few days
i came home and took a bath
after e bath, i realised that my fever was back
it went up to 38.4 again
well, i took medication
and went back to sleep again
till about 8.30pm at night.
generosity comes deep within
it is deinately not defined as giving mere donation
it comes through a long way
and is also a consistent effort
nevertheless, i would still like to thank each and every passer-by
who gave me their attention today
hopefully, their generosity and kindness would not end today
let's continue this love for those who needs it for tomorrow
the day after
and years after today
anyway
LOVE NEVER FAILS
LOVE NEVER ENDS
