FLAG DAY D:


woke up with terrible cramps. spoiled my day PLUS made me late for my meeting with cuixiao and laogong at Orchard MRT. haha.
saw shermin, jollin, amanda etc. doing flag day too!!
laogong very generously donated to shermin, cuixiao, alagamai and me – and more than once, too. note the number of stickers she earned. :D

walked around far east plaza and the buildings near it. a lot of people donated. :D there were quite a few people who actually gave all the coins they had. this angmoh lady was damn nice.
“oh yes, i do have some coins. not much, but… *tonk tonk tonk tonk tonk*”
“O_O THANKYOUTHANKYOU” HAHAHA.
and there was this other angmoh lady who donated quite a number of coins into my tin, and as we went up the escalator to go to the 2nd floor, she actually followed us just to put a $2 note into cuixiao’s! and cuixiao asked “do you want a sticker? it’s so that others like us will know you’ve already donated and won’t keep bugging you” and she replied “oh nono, i like doing this kind of stuff.” SO NICE RIGHT! i love Caucasians :D
and then people started complaining that they’d already donated and there were so many of us walking around, so cuixiao, ala, laogong and i decided to go to CHANGI AIRPORT :D
quite a few donated. and there was this guy who donated so many coins to cuixiao… kept hearing tonks after tonks. HAHA okay my description skills suck.
and there was this mum with her kid and the kid shouted “oh i want to put i want to put!” upon seeing us with the cans, so his mum gave him coins to put into our cans. :D so cute!
but there were some people in the airport who just waved their hands at us signaling for us to go away before we even said “good morning sir..” GARH whatever man.
there were these three old guys that were damn funny. one of them donated; another went “don’t ask us! old people have no money! just go to lee hsien loong’s house and ask for donation can already! sure rich one!” and the other just laughed and laughed. super cute ;D
got bored of asking for donations, went back to orchard and sat at cinelesiure for 2 hours, waiting for time to pass. doing flag day for six hours is just CRAZY okay.

then laogong followed me to dinner with my grandparents (again)!!! XD

and i realized how torturous it is; not being able to even hold your hand when you’re so close to me. ):
