A guy i noe din noe how long it'll take to reach town
Becoz of that, he left home late..... and reached the collection point late
Cos u see, he got confused by the exits at Dhoby Gaught
D was the exit to get to PS but he could only see exits A and B
Exitted wrongly i guess....coz he din realise tt the station was bigger than he tot
Followed kids who seemed to be heading for PS...haha...lucky him
Got to Starbucks(collection point) 5 minutes late....but its okay...nthg happend..
Hurried back down to J8 where we were told to go and sell flags
I...or he rather... went to "the usual place" behind Bishan station to sell flags
Just as he thought,tt walkway near e overhead bridge's THE ideal place 2 stand
Kindly and politely asked passers-by, "Excuse me...would u like to donate?"
Luckily, MOST of them obliged .... and...
Most of them asked things like, "is this for..
NKF?".... haha.... and "How much is ur CEO's pay?"...
Of course my fren can't figure out why the public are so mad abt the NKF fiasco
Plain ignorance on his part i guess...kekeke...
Quickly and diligently he walked up & down he aisle selling flags until he,
Ran out of flags and it's only been 3 hrs...
Seven eleven was his first pit-stop.... he bought a Slurpee
Then, he walked round J8 in isolation.... seeing new things-- clothes,bags,shoes
Ultimately, hunger struck, and he went to the Mac behind the interchange
Very kindly asked the lady for a McSpicy Double meal--Plain,Upsize,Twister fries
What was he doing? Had my fren forgotten about his jaw problem?
Xtra chilli sauce and curry sauce, I asked, before sinking into my "breakfast"
Yy seems to hv forgotten abt this flag day i guess...haha
Zoomed his way back to PS after lunch to get more flags!
Hhaaahaha.... sien man... The English people should have created more than just A to Z. Lol. Anw, after lunch, i wenta PS again to get more flags. And then headed back to Bishan to sell flags.
Was quite fun hassling ppl for donations. One thing i learned, its good not to be shy when ure selling flags coz the public are more afraid of u than u are afraid of them. Haa.... what more, they'll feel even badder when they don't donate than u would(feel paiseh) when they do not donate. Coz some of them said they're in a rush and walked a couple of steps away frm me before coming back and say "Why not..." haha.... so kind... Then got ppl who says they cant donate coz their hands are full.... it was either full of shopping stuffs or full of running children. But there's this man who got 4 big bags of groceries, and when i asked him for donations, he stopped and put his bags on the ground and donated lah! So did Liang Pei(if i get her name rite). She's a J1 from AJsoccer.... guo xing's fren..she's carrying 2 boxes of canned drinks in plastic carriers on both her hands but still, smiled, put the carriers down and donated! Must be coz of me wearing AJ shirt lah..... AJcians are really supportive of each other i guess. Theres other AJcians who donated too...
And by 4, went to the mosque at AMK to do normal stuffs.... haha.... and went back to PS to return the bag. Was quite glad that the guy commented that my bag was the heaviest so far.... and come to think of it, i was 20 minues late when handing in my bag supposed to hand in at 5...so yea... haha.... quite glad i helped out lah... that's when i looked at the AJ list and noticed that yy didnt turn up....wahlao! SO bad..... haha....
Oh ya, during my trip back to PS.... i decided to take a different exit. The one must go thru lots of escalators. Quite lost inside lah... simply went with the flow. I din noe must go down then go up again...... and all that lah!.. haha...
And the next scary part was when i exited at PS. INSIDE PS. Damn lost inside. I cant find my way out of the building lah. Haha.... so went up and up until i saw DAYLIGHT. lol... so tts when i submitted my bag and all.
And after that, walked round PS....in isolation. Haha..... Man... if i thot Heeren was big,.... PS was super duper humongous lah! 7 story man. Not counting the basements. So walked round every level. Saw more beautiful clothes -- beautiful price tags too. More bags.... shoes...perfumes... haha.... power lah. When i reached the sixth floor, boy did the fear of height sank in. But since i applied to be a pilot, i must shake this fear off me! So i stood at the ledge, and looked at the so many ppl walking around. ANd i can bet that only one or two was walking alone. ANd those were the cleaners..lol...
Haha.... and i gave the seventh floor a miss coz it was GV. And what can i see up there. Haha.... not sure of what i'll see though ... coz the last time i went to a cine was in primary 3. HAa... got good grades for maths.... so all the good graders were treated to "George of the Jungle"...
So yeps, decided to go home after that....coz i wanna reach home by seven.Coz now, i noe that i takes at least 40 mins from Dhoby Gaught to SEmbawang. Lol...
And also, i din noe 6 oclock the train damn packed lah. Haha..... from DG to Marina Bay got what oso i dunnoe. Whats there at City Hall and Raffles Place and Marina BAy until the train so full! Haha.... well.... at least i learned sthg new... haha...
And on ,my way home, did MCQs on Equilibria before putting my TYS aside and slept, coz i almost dropped my pencil and tys while doing it lah! Wait the other passengers see i malu lah!
So yups! Today was an eye opener.... so many things to see out there....
Indeed, it was for me, a self-discovery...
