Day 42

Having a sore throat today. The germs are having a field day at home since we have 3 men down.

However, I still persisted on at flag day today selling flags for the Children's Aid Society. Today's Deepavali btw and there were many Indians or maybe Pakistani at Jurong East. Many of these foreign workers were curious abt why there was a girl holding a tin can, standing at e foot of the escalator with a smile "perpetually plastered" on her face. But many were forthcoming with their donations, while others just looked a mixture puzzlement and bemusement. Coincidentally, the last time I sold flags was for the Pakistani earthquake in school. It was much more embarrassing standing along e arts walkway although the money collected was much better...(You can't really avoid donating to ur schoolmate can you?). Today however I realised that e really charitable ppl wld automatically come up to you if they see the tin can, you don't really need to ask them at all. Those who u actually nd to open ur mouth to ask them, chances are they'll decline. Flagselling is afterall not hardselling.
