The Flag Day

My bro had to literally drag me out of bed at 6am on a SATURDAY morning * Gggrrr* coz the collection centre he's in charge of needs volunteers. So there we were at Bedok Central, and me looking drop dead gorgeous ( no make-up, panda eyes and selipar jepun..) in the wee hours of the morning.

Mercy Relief was having a Flag Day islandwide yesterday to gather donations from the public for the tsunami victims. And what better ways to do so by exploiting desperate students who are in need of CIP (Community Involvement Programme) points. Once upon a time, i was also among those pathetic souls begging for donations around mrt stations. How embarrassing! Thank GOD those days were over!


Throngs of students swarmed Bedok Central eager to join in the donation efforts.

I was handling the TKSS batch. I threatened them that i'm gonna make them do an extra round if they come back wif a can weighing less than a kg. Apparently it works! Hhmm, wonder if they pour sand into those cans..




Teh-tarik and kuihs for breakfast sponsored by my bro

Lunch time! Sue, Siti & me having chicken rice.

Oh, get this. I was on tv last night! Holycowl! My mom and maid claimed they saw me and my bro on the news. The cam got a glimpse of my bro's face but me, the drama-mama, had to appear not once, not twice but three farkin' times!! Hey, waking up early for a good cause ain't that bad after all.
