Ok then I'll share my experience then.
Like everywhere else in Singapore, here in Yishun is very hot and but oddly i never sweat.
My can also around 1/4 full but mostly coin. Collected at least $57 and used more than 2 sheets, an improvement from last year which i used 1+ sheet. Yishun there very quiet but people there quite nice.
There got other schools as well. there are:
- Catholic High
- Chua Chu Kang Secondary (should have told my brother to tell his SJAB classmates not to send cadets there...)
- Chung Cheng High (Main)
- A school which sends NCC cadets as well (one of them got wear ncc badge)
- One other school
Ways people ignore me: - Say no money
- Say donated already( but can donate again right?)
- Give you some gestures that means 'no'
- Say no coins( but thanks to that, someone give me $2 note, yay)
- They pretend you are invisible
2 incidents that leave an impression on me First incident happened at around 9am near the Yishun town garden. I asked someone for money. She, possibly irritated the number of sjab-ber there, took out a total of $1.20 in coins and dumped it ON my can then ask me put in the coins myself and left in a huff. I found her very rude and hoped I don't meet anyone like her. Second incident happened half an hour later at the same spot. A red haired lady approaching me seems to be on a lookout for SJAB-ber. When I started to approach her she 三步并作两步. As I got closer, she moved even faster. When I ask her "小姐, 你..." she run away so fast that when i turned 90 degrees, she 无影无踪, nowhere to be seen, no trace of her. Laughed so hard that time for 1/2 a minute. Later I and BT(not lauw) play killsteal match (for donations) at area near bus stop at Northpoint shopping centre.( Of course outside lah). So nice KS-ing other SJAB-ber from other schools. Only 2 regrets is that my group didn't go Chong Pang Market. There, my mother said, Saturday morinings got a lot of people. Should have told me earlier... Another was I didn't go Jurong!!! I could have asked my fifth aunt, who works in the foodshop in the station, for donations and maybe a free lunch...nvm.
