flag day experience! (since luky started it)

A group of us went to hougang to collect stuff. we mostly combed the area around the mall, then I led derek and leslie to this imba spot at the other entrance of the mall.

Many schools have the misconception that most people come from around the other entrance, where there's some HDB blocks of shops, and the MRT station. Indeed, there was a lot of people, but there were also a lot of SJAB cadets from other schools. Don't know how many there were exactly.

But anyway, when we got there at 9+, no one was at the other entrance yet. So we went over. Three of us separated and took one spot each at the T- shaped junction. Over there, there were only two paths for citizens to walk out of the whole blocks of HDB flats to get to Hougang Mall/MRT Station. So I took 1 of those paths, leslie another, and derek the main entrance of Hougang Mall.

CHIJ tried to kope from us, but after stoning for a while they walked away. Some holy innocents people tried to kope as well, 3 of them swarmed around me. Yet no one dared to approach the people as they walked past, giving me free business. xD

Then there was this girl who was carrying a guitar in a guitar case. She was around my age and when she walked past me, I asked her for a donation. Then she went "Sorry, I'm rushing." She took 3 steps forward, then I stopped her.

"But the traffic light is still red."

LOL she glared at me for a while, then I held her guitar as she took out a $2 note and dumped it into the can.

I daresay 3 out of 5 of the people there would donate. Many of them even donated twice or thrice. And since there were a lot of families, parents would normally give each kid some $ to put into the can, and the kids just love the stickers. Hahaha

In the end, I got about 10+ $2 notes, and Derek more or less the same. (I think his can was heavier)

I love doing flag day in the heartlands.
