woohoo... today can be considered fruitful... raised some funds for FOC by assuming the role of garang guni... hahar! so the whole gang of us (FOC main com & frens) swept the area of Simei collecting old newspapers, old clothes, tv sets... etc. well, almost the whole area lar, hehz... couldn't finish every corner of the flats due to manpower and time constraints.. nevertheless i think it's not a bad start for future collections... =)

the experience was interesting... cos of the weird, hilarious, pleasant... blablabla incidents...

~encounter 1~

me : ho, we're from NUS doing a charity drive... do you have old newspapers or clothes or old tv sets... blablabla...
resident : i no money i no money....
me : erm... we're not here for money... jus wondering if you have unwanted stuff we can collect...
resident : i no money lar... "bo zho gang"(not working) no money...
me : erm, okie, nevermind, thanks...
resident : *close doors*
me : *scratches head* ???

~encounter 2~

me : (same opening as above)
resident : you're from?
me : NUS
resident : oh! okie, give me a minute or so...
me : sure, thanks! (later...)
resident : you alone collecting this floor? i get my son to help you bring the stuff down?
me : er, no need, it's okie, i 'll get my friends to help..
resident : oh, is it troublesome? it's alright, my son can help...
(the son came out, gosh... not bad looking sia... hurm... harhar)
me : it's alright really... my friends will be here in no time... (paiseh lar)
resident : oh, ok then... *smiles*
me : thanks alot!

~encounter 3~

(yonghui and me waiting for lift at 6th storey to go up to last storey)
malay guy : are you all going up?
me : erm, nope... =)
malay guy : ok, *carries the tv set outside lift*
me and yonghui : *puzzled*
(lift door closes)
me : is that tv set ours? did our ppl collected that from one of the families?
yonghui : not sure... erm, i think so... erm, maybe not, erm... ????
me : oops, if it's ours then... hurm... is that guy the garang guni who is trying to 'steal' our business?
yonghui : wa, if he is then we actually look at him and allow him to take our tv set?!?!
me : -_-"
(later we realise the tv set belongs to the malay guy...)
oops... can you imagine if we stopped the guy from carrying the tv set? *ponders*

there's some other encounters but too tedious to put them down.. some of the kids and dogs are really gorgeous and adorable... hehz... in short, it's tiring but fun...
oh yes! we(me and yonghui) thought it's rather boring to just collect stuff and collect stuff and collect stuff... so we started singing along our way... hehz... guess mark, nanda and irza can't stand our 'crasiness'... well, paiseh wor... jus want to make the atmosphere not so dull and quiet mar... hehz... yeah yeah... found 1 potential ktv kaki, kaweng... he oso sings when we're resting... hehz... goodie... din realise robin told him about the 2 of us 'siao char bors' at ktv the other day... until he told us he finally understands what robin meant... muahahahahha~

friends.. there'll be more collections coming up for fund raising... so please do come join me if ya want to be part of the fun okie okie?? no doubt it'll be physically texing.. but it'll be fun getting to know more ppl... strangers of new friends! \(^v^)/
