Flag Day!!
Yesterday, was just unbelievable... To me, Flag Day was supposed to be a drag... I mean, come on, we woke up at 4 plus in the morn, and we haf 2 ask for donations all the way till 6pm... Personally, I do not like the idea of asking, or pleadin (in some rare cases), for some donations... Howeever, seeing hw emotional Darius and the Blk E Blk Head were when they were relating to the freshies their previous year experience and hw we lost the Chancellor Shield, I tink itz only fair to say that the freshies all had the notion 2 go all out n try their best... But never ever in my wildest dream did I expect to meet so many intersting pple!!!
Kenneth, fishy, jes and I were positioned at Chinatown, cos we tot that there will b hoardes of pple dere... No doubt we were correct, but many other of our 'competitors' also realised that Chinatown is a great location!!! Hence we decided to split in2 2 grps, so as to b able to cover as much ground as possible, so kenneth and fishy were 2gether while I went 2 work wif jes...
Workin wif jes was damn fun... Seeing that there were groups stationed at very strategic places, like at traffic lights, or in front of the MRT stations, we decided to make ourselves the mobile squad!! So we went around and picked up people hu were missed out by other competitors... And we divided potential donaters into 2 grps... Male and Female... Haha and jes will approach all the guyz while I take all the ladies... And obviously, she received more donations... =x... Anw, not long later, we were at some sorta town square when we spotted a Caucasian walking in our direction... So obviously, we walked up towards him and seeing that it was a guy, Jes approached him... After a few enquiries on hu were the beneficaries, IT happened... Opening his wallet, he started 2 fish for wat seem like loose change... and den... he took out a $10 note and gave it to Jes!!! K I noe dat dere are pple hu haf $50 slotted in their cans, but tiz iz the 1st time dat i saw sum1 donate $10 to a can, so forgive mi for sounding so excited and making a big Hoo-hah abt tiz...
After that incident, we came up wif an idea... Seeing that most of our big donations were from foreigners and expats, we came up wif a new name for our grp : the SP grp - Sarong Party grp!! Helmed by... *drum roll*... Sarong Party Gal and Sarong Party Boy!!! Haha... Datz hw lame and amused we were yest...
Seeing that most of the Caucasian guys were donating, I decided 2 'seduce' those hu were missed by Jes... So off I went to work on a Caucasian couple hu were working in the opposite direction... Bringing out my sweetest smile and most charming voice, I approached the couple hu were conversing in English...
"Hi I m from NUS and we are collecting donations...." And den I walked away...
Noe y?? Cos upon seeing mi, that guy started talking to his fren in his native tongue!!! And den he turned and talked 2 mi in his native tongue!!! WIN LIAOZ LOR!!!! walau dowan donate oso no nd lidat ma... Sianz...
Basically that was the end of the morning... and the start of a hilarious afternoon...
Sometimes as a guy, it sucks to b asking for donations... Seriously manz, if u r nt handsome or charming, no one will donate 2 u... Tink abt it... Dere iz no target grp 4 u 2 work on.... whereas for a gal, itz a plus point for u 2 b pretty... Cos men will generally donate 2 gals... Seriously!!! I m not being a sexist or MCP here, but it iz a widely known fact that if u a guy were 2 donate 2 either a gal or guy, he wld choose the gal... Simply put, men r hum sup...
Just to prove my point, yest we were at Golden Shoe Complex walking back 2wards Chinatown... Den dere was this uncle approaching and since Jes was behind mi, I decided to ask him... But like many people, he dao mi wif his snobbish face and walked away... K nvm itz ok... Den when I turned bak 2 c where was Jes, that hum sup uncle actually went 2 donate 2 Jes hu was like 5 steps behind mi!!! Wa kaoz!!! Idiot... And tiz was the 1st of 3 hum sup guyz hu snubbed mi and donated 2 Jes... Kaoz... Sux 2 b mi...
Now we were positioned at Far East Square, and a cute little kid and his Dad came along and donated 2 Jes... "We are from Taiwan", said the Dad... Nice to see foreigners voluntarily donate and b friendly... So we were tinking if these visitors were so kind, maybe their tour grp can help us!!! So we found their bus, but we stood one street away cos we were unsure whether we shd go up anot (cos we were worried that we mite receive complaints)... Den sumting caught my eye... A bunch of dem were actually waving at mi!!! Wow!!! Dey r really friendly!!! So naturally, I waved bak at dem... but soon I was tired and so I stopped... BUT DEY R STILL WAVING!!!! Tinking dat sumting iz amiss, I turned behind and realised that... all the while... DEY WERE WAVING AT JES!!!! ARGH!!!!! Sux 2 b mi...
Anw dey r fun moments (for me) nonetheless... Hw often do u get a person hu performs magic tricks in ur face before donating!!! Yes it actually happened 2 mi!!! For once a fun ting happened 2 mi!!! Anw dere was tiz malay encik hu came up 2 mi wif a 50 cent coin and walked in my direction... But before slotting it in... He said," Before I give u tiz, I show u a magic trick. I will push tiz coin in my eye... And it will come out from my arm..." Erm... kayz... muz b sum lame trick or sum joke rite... K lor... Since he iz gg 2 donate... so I said ok and tried 2 smile...
And so it began... He placed the coin in his hand... placed it in his eye... and "POOF" ITZ GONE!!! And it was not in his hands!!! Den he covered his rite forearm wif his left hand and... out popped the 50 cent coin!!! OMG!!! Itz been a long time since I saw a magic trick (or illusion) rite b4 my eyes!!! Den he happily plonked the coin into the tin can... Man o man... Itz tiz kinda pple like him dat makes ur day brighter...
Den we met a guy hu was formally from the school... So we approached him and he asked us wat fac/hall we were from... And den we came 2 noe dat he was from SoC... So seeing that we were from his alma mater, he donated and left... Bt b4 crossing the road, he shouted a comment that left us amused thru out the day... "SoC SUX!!!" I m serious!!! He actually shouted dat so loud that I tink the pple across the road cld hear him!!!
All in all it was a fun experience la... Shagged no doubt... Bt interesting 2 see so much pple... And it definitely helps dat Jes was wif mi... Fooling ard, making ourselves high over sum lame stuff and gossiping... Haha...Thanks manz... Anw we have done wat we could 4 flag... Now we wait for Saturday... So letz kp our fingers close...
