Hi readers. Must read this post ok? I confirm guarantee 100% plus chop for you that THIS. IS. INTERESTING!!!

Today was Flag Day "Season 2". Lol. If you scroll down my blog, you'll find a page on what I did on my first "on-my-own" flag day (with friends, without mum - that's what I call "on-my-own"), with tips written too. What I did a few hours ago, was definitely a SOLO flag day. They wanted us to go in pairs or threes. Apparently I'm friendless in my own school. =(

My class was allocated to Yishun. Walao. Freaking far lor. Supposed to reach there at 7.30am, but I WOKE UP AT THAT TIME. HAHAHAHAHA!!! Aljunied to Yishun is like 20 over stops, make that 30. =D

Reached Yishun MRT Station at 9am. By that time, the crowd was less. Stupid me. I should have woke up earlier since those ppl who live in Yishun will wake up early to go to work (transport time will be longer ya, since town is so FAR FAR AWAY~). Jing Wen's fault. LOL. Kidding kidding.

Seriously I think solo is much better to do this kinda stuff. At least your friends won't snatch your donors. I had a spot of my own.

There are many kinds of people:

- (As usual) the music listeners
- People who totally ignore you
- Fast walkers (rushing la duh)
- People talking on their phone
- People with bags and bags of stuff (NTUC was nearby)
- Parents with their children
- Elderly
- (Interestingly) People who look fierce.

All I've got to say is, JUST ASK THEM LA. The last point is pretty cute. Those who appear serious (like me when I'm walking), will give a smile if you approach them (LIKE ME!). XD I encountered this many many many many times.

K I shall go from bottom to the top.

As for elderly, it's only a rare few who'll donate. I don't know why. =D

Parents with their children ARE THE BEST MAN! They seriously want their children to learn the right stuffs. First step would be teaching them to donate. "See the hole? Ya. Put inside. Then take the sticker. Come, paste here." Hehehehe. Then ppl with their tins will be bending down (that was what I did. YES! FINALLY! I'M TALL-ER!!!).

Ppl with bags and bags of stuff: Sometimes they will put down their bags and put some coins in. Really nice people. For some I don't dare to approach. If I were them, I don't want to be approached by either. Eh I dun wanna get cursed lor. "Walao that girl cannot see ar. I'm carrying so many bags still want me to donate. I'm not an octopus lor."

This is a pretty weird encounter: A Chinese man was on the line when I "approached" him. So he stopped and tried to take his wallet out (while talking). Then he paused trying to take money out (cos he was holding his phone - see? that's why earphones are invented.) While he was talking, I was standing down there waiting for him. Hahahaha. I really felt weird, holding my hand with the tin out to let him donate. Lemme add this: As he was talking on the phone, he took out his wallet and was searching the NOTES COMPARTMENT. "Wah... notes ma?" Then came out a coin. -.-" Boo boo. Hahaha. I'm kidding on the boo part. "Any amount will do". My friend said.

Fast walkers now (follow my points closely la. if you get lost, it's not my problem. xD ). Hmmm... there's this lady who was rushing to the MRT station. I approached her. She took out her wallet but was still walking. I kena stunned. Eh? Is she ignoring me (cos ppl taking out their wallets may mean they are getting ready to tap their cards to take the MRT)? The she said "follow me (or something like that)" She found a coin/note (I really forgot) and put it in. "Thank you very much. Have a nice day." That's what I always said. ^^

Ok I really want to complain about this. These people who totally ignore those who approach them should jolly well go get some Civics and Moral Education lesson. Be polite la. At least give a sign to show that you're rejecting or something like that. Anyways, you still have to say "thank you". I'm polite. I took CME lessons. Hahahahahaha...

NOW... Last but not least. Music listeners. I have a trick for this. Really. Confirm will work. xD

If they are people like me who have earphones that block environment's sounds, use this method: Talk loudly. "HI WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE A DONATION FOR THE PRESIDENT'S CHARITY?" Ok. It looks really loud. But I just said this sentence in a SPOKEN tone, just a leeeetle bit louder. For this to work, you really have to solo. Doing it with friends will make yourself "weaker". Hahahaha!!! I don't know how but it's a fact. TRUST MEEEE!

The following tips and story were all written by ME. You may not heed the advice given, but you have to trust the writer (ME) because of the rich experience ME had. You want proof? I got $84.40. BEAT THAT!! Ok SP's record was $344+. BEAT THAT THEN!!! =P

Now my back is aching (because of my bag). Torrrture. I'm yearning for a massage now. Hehe... BTW, I think I've got some kinda relationship with animals. Last time was a frog, today was 2 birds. They stuck together for like 3 hours sia (as far as I know when I saw them). So cute. Hahaha.
