~ One day in east point...(still not the thing that's coming up)~
The day started out with an early wake up call.
Brought about by the loud blasting sound of class 95.
Irritating... thought i was immuned to the hifi's alarm
but i guess i set it too loud the night before.
Anyway guess it works. So i had to drag myself outta bed.
Dad was making hotdogs for breakfast. Yummy.
Even had mustard sauce. Then it was down to east point.
ToTs (Touch of the Hearts) event was being held there,
and i was relegated to do ticket selling... the whole day. Argh.
But well i guess God is good and even though i started off
not really liking it, it felt satisfying after a while. Sorta got into
the rythmn.
And i also sorta became like a robot... repeating,
"hello sir...we're from ntu.. and we're here on behalf of singapore
club rainbow, an organization that gives support to children with
chronic illness such as cancer and heart problems..."
Dohz... anyway although rejections were aplenty, there were still
rather generous souls around who just bought 5 tickets which is
10 bucks from me. And that makes a happy me. But the bottom line
is, i managed to sell finish the 2 booklets. :)
But as i was asking around, there was this uncle, he said he has been
giving so much to charity already and then he started talking about
singapore dying. Like there's no more hope and that the government
is taking up all the lucurative jobs. And gave the example of NTUC going
into the funeral business. Then he said to me, that if there's a chance, to
leave singapore for it's really very hard to live here.
Well that's a thought to think about. I used to think like that too. But then again
after going for my holiday in australia. I've learnt that i would want to see the world
and travel but then again, there's still nothing like home. The place where you grew up
in. Even though things may be getting tougher here... i guess it's really up to our
generation to start making the plans and the changes to ensure that we
have a livable place here.
Sounds politically correct huh... but i guess that's what i feel. No matter what kinds of
stories there are going on about the behinds of the govt. But then, i might want to live
out my retirement age elsewhere.... haha... thinking too far ahead. Might change my
thinking along the way.
Blah.. .too tired... still got tut tom morn...argh...
signing off.
