SP Flag Day 2007

Today is SP Flag Day... All SP freshmen need to undergo this as part of SP CORE values... I was assigned to Dhoby Ghaut MRT Station. I arrived at the Exit A at about 8am... I start collecting donations. This Donation is in support of the President's Challenge 2007. During the peak period, Members of the public did donate while some did not... (I Understand) At least, some of them gave me a smile when they decline to donate. There's one incident that I 'll never forget. It happened at about 10.30am when there's a man talking to me about Singapore. He mentioned about Singapore that contribute less to the poor people... I listened to him throughout. To me, it sounds rude but what he said might be true. That's the incident that I'll never forget. I continued the donation. Throughout the day, the sun is so hot that I'm feeling BBQ by it !!!... Damn hot. After 10am, the crowd is getting lesser & lesser & the rate is slower but I dun want to move elsewhere coz there are other SP freshmen walking around. Most of the donars donated a max of $2. So GENEROUS !!! I did try to approach ppl most of the time (in the beginning I stand like a statue coz so long nvr do flag day ). I'm not just alone there.. I got a SP fellowmate too... I did have time to mingle with him... After so long, I decided to leave at 1 plus as I wanna do my prayers. After I do my prayers, I went back to SP and started to count the amount that I have collected. The amount that I have collected is $54.70... I feel satisfied & I have done my best today... I still have to do my worksheet b4 I went home...
