More flag selling and things that happened these few days...
Last saturday the 12th of August, we participated in selling flags for C.I.P points once again. This time, the donations went to the St.Johns Ambulance Brigade. We had to gather in the school hall by 7am. I dragged myself out of bed...lol...(was tired)
When I reached there, it was nearly 7 already. We were briefed about where and what not to do, given the containers and the sticker flags. We set off only at 8am+ because they waited for the latecomers or those who overslept to come to school. Went with YangQin and Elphin, to Toa Payoh. We spent one hour there, eating...mainly because YangQin ordered his breakfast after I had ate finished and had to use the toilet later...(mainly was to waste time...it was supposed to end at 1.30pm)
After breakfast, we made our way to orchard road as I was determined not to compromise by beliefs and integrity that I did infact, put in effort to help raise funds for them, instead of putting in some coins and be satisfied with that. Elphin and YangQin however, were reluctant to go collect, so I went on my own. I walked down from orchard to somerset and finally found a spot opposite "Orchard Point" which was near a bank. So, strategically, it was quite good as the flow of people there was quite constant and there were not any other people from other schools at that spot as well.
Spent about 2 and a half hours there...weather was quite warm. At 12.30pm, I made my way back to School. My efforts paid off as some of them who did not manage to collect the expected weight of the container to be filled up, had to spend more time to collect more money. (They were expecting a quarter full and reaching $20)
Went to church after that, as my mom allowed me to skip chinese tuition that day as she knew I would most likely be tired. Josiah was playing fifa05 on his laptop and we soon took turns to play one half..haha... Had a short ushers meeting at 4.30pm...
The youth service started at 5pm and after the singing of songs, split up into our groups for bible study. Sort of had fun that day...we ate dinner in church...wasn't bad at all..:D
These few days, Mr Heng has been harping on us of their expectations of us sec3 cca leaders as well. Well, although nobody likes to hear nagging...it was good as it reminded us that we were in charge now and we had to STEP UP. Setting a good example for the Sec1s etc...
Well, it is not easy to teach Sec1s as they are usually restless and unattentive but I hope that we can bring the band to better heights as we set our goals for next years SYF. But, more importantly, the experience and the journey towards the SYF will be more important and of more value to us.
Thats about it...bye
