Flag day

flag day kinda sucks... lol really seriously it does. But you know your helping the poor and needy yes yes i know, it sure makes your day when people with "black faces" do not even bother to take a glance at you. it seems that their brains register, "People holding cans, identical shirts, repeating themselves over and over again!" Equals AVOID... if not i could just whip out my handphone and pretend to talk to someone. Yeah thats what i saw, this guy walked passed 3 times with his phone to his ear but all throughout he didnt utter a word! oh and not to mention the speed at which he was walking, clear intentions to appear to look busy.

u know i find that Ah mas' donate more than younger folks and are more grateful when donating. i also notice that more women donate more than men. But oh well.... all depends on one's own decision whether to give or not.

Some would even bypass us. sigh...its disheartening that they wouldnt donate 20cents for a sticker that would might as well save them all the trouble from walking a further distance to avoid us or any other volunteers for that matter.

But all in all, people are quite giving :) which i really appreciate for them to actually stop and to take to heart that they're money would be helping the poor - i hope. At least not to buy gold taps. speaking of which some people who donate ask questions such as "Where is the money going to? what organisation are you representing?" probably fearing that they're money would be used for the wrong purposes, you know expliotation etc...

There was this cute kid that came up and i repeated the usual line that some people either dred or embrace. So he came up to me, took a sticker and slotted it into my can.. hmm... then he proceeded to taking another sticker for himself lol!
