flag day
yesterday was flag day!!!
for most of you all it was the second flag day of the year.
for me it was the first flag day in my life :)) .
i went with rachna ^^.
i got the first donation,but rachna got more at somerset.
we stood in front of the escalator,where people could see us.
most of them walked diagonally when they got off the escalator,but some were nice enough.
one of the guys told us that we should walk around instead of standing there lol.
then we went to dhoby ghaut.
and we were considerably busy there,though many said they'd come by later,and never did,some politely refused,and some just passed us.others were nice though,thank goodness.
the two of us got a drink in the middle of it ^-^.
then we went to orchard.
we based ourself outside borders.
and there...we met the joyce-joanne-chelsia team.
joyce held rachna's can in her hand first,then mine,and was jealous :) .
then they disappeared.
and we stayed there.
standing outside the bank occasionally produced results.
then there were the people who very politely said no.
and the people who passed us.again.
and the nice people.
there was this woman who gave me $10 and said,"God bless you for doing such kind things."
that felt so good.so very good indeed ^^.
(as compared to the taxi driver whose taxi i sat in to go to aljunied mrt.he began a monologue about how students should not be forced to do such things because they give extra stress to students and blah blah blah...)
then there was the big screen tv there which did all sorts of stupid things.
one of the people donated 20 cents,and when she did,the tv (which was playing the visa advert about releasing birds) played the music that came on when richard gere released his birds.

i wanted to laugh.
then there were the downright rude.
this guy (scrawny,to tell the truth),i asked him,and what did he do?he looked like he was waving flies.
but that was balanced out soon enough.
there was this tall european female tourist who took out her wallet when i asked.
a couple of two dollar notes fell out,and she picked them up and put them back in her wallet.
then she said she had no small change.
THEN!!!
she took out $50 and put it in.
i could have fainted.
then me and rachna went to city hall.
along the way we saw a show called The Invisible Men.
they're good.mr sng would have liked to see them.
soon after we went back to work.
around there,i stopped.
i knew i shouldn't have,but it was getting difficult to put $2 notes in.
also if it went on like this i thought i'd pose a threat to rachna :P.
then we came upon a representative of the tourism board.
he had a lanyard with a tag with the great singapore sale on it.
he was looking for tourists.
and he gave rachna three dollars.
he said that he had fun doing flag day as a kid.
then we went back.
end of day ^^.
back to being head of household.
i did tell some of you i'm the acting head of household right?
i'm in charge of fetching,giving allowances,curfews,computer time...
naturally the giving of things are liberal,now that my parents are in tokyo with my bro.
three comps,three people,three rolling chairs.
no fighting.
ah this place is like heaven!
but it can be tiring;yesterday my day was completely full in the morning till mid afternoon.
i fell asleep in the middle of my lunch at half past three. >
