I had Flag Day on Saturday, & it was a whirlwind of activity! At first me & Chay Ling were suppose to do with Denise & Rachel Annabel, but after we got our tins, we couldn't find them anywhere, so we just hung around a little at the Red Cross House, looking for anyone who wanted to come along with us. Then Charlene asked me to go with her, but again we couldn't find her! Argh. So me & Chay Ling went ourselves. We knew that many people would be heading off to Orchard or Junction 8 so we tried choosing somewhere along the NEL line, which was quite "deserted", where no one else would want to go. Then we thought of Hougang! It was so funny trying to decide the place. :) At first we thought of Chinatown, but obviously it wouldn't have worked, cos it would have been too "happening", so we stayed at Hougang for about half an hour, & I must say half of the donations in our tin came from there!

We moved off after a while to Chinatown, & then there were so many people around asking for donations as well. So we went to Bedok- East Coast Park! Can you imagine the distance we travelled? And it was 11 am in the morning, it was so hot! But it was all in the name of charity, so it was worth it. Me & Chay Ling were so super tired, cos we couldn't find the Underpass to East Coast Park, & ended up walking around aimlessly. When we finally found it, it was definitely sweet success. Chay Ling couldn't stop smiling & laughing. Freaky. =D

After we finished our Flag Day, we returned our tins & met Jing Xuan, Gillian & 2 of their friends, all scrambling around asking for some donations. I had already donated about $4.60 into my own tin, & spent about $4 on transport that day, above all I had only $1.60 worth of coins. So all 4 of them were begging us to put some into their tins. All my coins that day were gone already. And one of them even said that since I was in their Geog. class, if I donated, they promised to take care of me. (",) Sounded like some Loanshark deal. >.<

Then Chay Ling & I went all over the Somerset- Orchard area looking for some where to eat, & we couldn't even find the MacDonalds in Suntec! It was so exhausting. So I called my sis to ask where she was (she also had Flag Day that day), & she was in Junction 8. Sigh. And when I called I actually heard a guy's voice at the background, like really close to the phone so it couldn't have been a passer-by! Ha! Caught her. =X I should be a spy one day, like those little Spy Kids on tv yesterday. >.<
