please be kind.

It's the second day this week i'm actually begging people to donate generously to a so-called worthy cause. yes. I shall keep this reasonably short, cos firstly it suits me, yes don't mind the pun, and i'm totally bummed out after doing about 8 hours of cip straight.


I would like to rant about Singaporeans, but bearing in mind the repercussions of doing so, i thought twice about the idea and decided to dispose of it. For any details please refer to aaron's blog. I do have to speak about an incident though. On Monday morning, when i was trying to raise funds for the Home Nursing Foundation, something interesting happened. Yes. I was, in my opinion, adequately, if not excessively polite towards the lady in requesting a magnanimous donation, but she just hollered "GO AWAY!" and just trodded off. What a bummer. She was the very first lady i approached. What an awesome way to kickstart the day. Oh well. At least aaron and i did quite a good job, i think. Met a couple of ppl, IE: Jingxi, Ms Tan Jon Lin my Sec 4 teacher, and quite a few kind souls i have to say. Met a few today as well. Special thanks to all Singaporean residents/tourists who actually made a purchase from such a poor salesman, i vow to do better in the days that follow. Thanks for just making my day much better, with just a simple smile, or just little words of encouragement such as "Thank you for your time." I appreciate it, even if you responded, with a little shake of the head, or a simple thanks. At least it's better than some others who treat fundraisers as encumbents in their path or just nonexistant people. I can't thank you enough (=


Oh yes, i've forgotten to mention, i'm actually raising funds for eldercare. If you haven't heard i'm now a Youth Challenge member, though not officially. So yeap. We are selling pens for 10 dollars, i know that's daylight robbery, but i swear that every single cent goes towards helping the elderly. So well, if you do see other youth challenge personnel please do not hesitate to walk forth and contribute. You don't have to buy a pen, just a donation of a few bucks will do. We will really appreciate it very much. Thank you. Okays, one day done, i sold 23 pens in about 9 hours i think..from 12 to 9..well i spent most of the time travelling and stuff..so yeah please don't be shocked or whatever. yes. My mum's friends helped to buy couple of the pens as well..kudos to them as well. I was only able to sell about 15 in woodlands with xue hui and der koon..got to meet charles and another aj guy..which was really cool. Thanks to both of you who were willing to part with ur 10 bucks. Awesome stuff. Anyways wish me luck in the days to come. (=


PS. I'm really beginning to fall in love with tennis. hehe.


Anyways, yeahh i've realised that Heidi "tagged" me. So here goes.

Rules of the Game
1. Post 5 weird/random things about yourself.
2. At the end of the quiz, list the name of 5 people
who you want next to do this and leave a comment
you are tagged in the tagboard and tell them to read ur blog.


1. I am a nihilist.
2. I believe i have got an extremely capricious personality.
3. I live an insipid life.
4. I've been sick for 10 days and i believe i'm down with chicken flu. how nice.
5. I don't mind dying. really. you can kill me if u want. but i'm not gonna try to exonerate u of ur crime. I'll leave that to the judge to decide.


To the lucky five:
