hey het hey...had CIP today...was standing along the SHaw underpass and behaving like a robot for most of the time. I was practically a smiling goondoo...* sweet smile*-" Excuse me/Hi, would you like to make a donation to the children's cancer foundation?" then after a while it became.." Would you like to make a donation?" *slight smile* then it became..." Would you like to donate to the Children's Cancer SOCIETY?!"...okay...I WAS tired all right. I stood from 11 am to 3pm..had half an hour lunch break then continue from 3.30 pm to 5pm...whoosh! haha...felt relatively accomplished that I had collected about half a box and half a can of money..heee....

Oh yeah..and did I mention this girl whom I think is one of the organisers of the event? Well..she thinks she's this smart aleck..acted so authoritatively...me and elane were just laming for a few seconds and she was like..." You can't expect pple to donate to you by just standing still..." OKAY MISS...I've done this for wuite many times now...of we couldn't get pple to donate..you wouldn't be getting back the half box and can of donations!!!!! it didn't help that I was already wuite tired when she said those words!

Well other than that..I felt that it was quite a meaningful experience to just stand by the side and watch the people pass...of course at the same time asking for donations! I even got to meet my pri school mates and sec sch mates and some TJ guy...haaha..btw..he was Ahem's good friend...and my classmate was also there with his GF for the CIP thingy too..haha...then there was this lady who probably bears some big grudge over the government or was just declared Bankrupt for that matter...she just went up to elane and started to cirticise abt what we were doing..that it was so "shameful" to be seeking donations! And she stood there for like fifteen minutes babbling on and looking like she just escaped from the mental hospital or something...ok,,and then you know what..I saw two artistes..some Ch 8 actor and some Ch 5 actress...haha...both had the " I know I'm a star..I know you know it too..now..shoo coz I'm bz" look...OK. FINE. Hrmm...the pple who were most Charitable may I say, were the families..I define charitable as giving without thinking twice..but after collecting donations on the streets for several times..I've come to a conclusion of the reasons why pple donate:

1) So that they can have the excuse to say " I've donated, see I have the sticker! " so that no other canners will continue BUGGIN them.
( well, this reminds me! Some people LIE and purposely say CLAIm that they have donated when they have not and said that they just "ACCIDENTLY lost their sticker")

2) So that their children can add the "sticker" to their sticker book collection.( Oh and did I mention that the adults seem to treat their children like a sticker book too. When asked to donate by a second canner...the parent or whoever is with the child will point to the poor little kid and say.."see, I've donated.")

The types of pple I hate to meet:

1)Pple who pretend to be opening up their bags or digging into their pockets...making you raise up your hopes of getting a donation when everntually they continue with the same action until they pass you altogether! For goodness sake! Save the pretention! And save MY time!!

2) Pple who have piles of notes in their wallets and choose to dig into the purse section of their GUCCI wallet only to deliver a five or ten cents....( Ok such is the cruel and selfish nature of humankind that Undeniably, I sometimes succumb to too!)

People I Lurrve to meet:
1) those that AUTOMATICALLY come up to me and drop in a coin or two..before I even realise it!
2) And those that understand the plight of canners and donate twenty dollars ( or more) without battling an eyelid! NOw That ROCKs mY WOrlD man!

At the end of the day..it is only human to err. So...CHill OUt...relax..and just watch the world go by...and let all ugly and nice fuse to create a wonderful depiction of the "HEART" aspect of mankind. * Applause please*
