Had flag day today. I went around Jurong East MRT, Jurong Library and Jcube with Sharon and Grace. From 7.30am-8.30am we just walked around aimlessly. It was so early and we were all still tired. And at 8.30am, we went to Macs at Jcube to have breakfast. Ate till about 9.30 before continuing on our job.
Met Phyu at Macs during breakfast. She was there with Suen Chi to 'study', but apparently Phyu was listening to music and stoning.. Aiyoo, that woman ahh!! Okay, headed back to the MRT, where I met Candace and Cheryl Cheng, carrying bags which were FULL and heavy. Looking at mine, guess there's more work to be done! Luckily, they helped me!! Thanks guys!! They helped me to fill my bag to a reasonable weight, or else I would be so paiseh when I return the bags.
From collecting, I realized so many Singaporeans have become so selfish or want something in return for the money they put in. WHY?? And I see children saying no. Why are parents teaching their children the wrong values? I feel so sad for these children.
However, I do appreciate those who willingly came up to give or those who used it as an opportunity to teach their young ones the joy of giving. I see the elderly giving, the young giving, parents teaching their children to give. I feel so heartened. More people should learn to be like you all.
'So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half asleep, even when they're busy doing things that they THINK are important.'
I feel that this is so true. They need to stop being so materialistic. Earthly things don't last!
Okay, this post is so horrible, but I'm currently sick. Down with a cold and fever and half-asleep while typing. :(
