Tapestry 08
Forget about 'Wilt', do that next post. Or below. Shall talk about the CIP I went for just now.
So there were a lot of Malay bands. This is Tapestry, an organization which asks for bands to perform every year for another charitable organization. So it's like a medium for donations.
And a lot of Malay bands which performed quite well.
Anyway, I went over to help collect money. And I asked 2 Malays for donations and they tried to joke with me:
Me: Would you like to make a donation?
Them: Uh..what is this for?
Me: This is for the visually handicapped.
Them: So this is for people like you? *makes vague references to my spectacles*
Me: No, this is visually impaired.
Them: Oh.
What the fuck. They donated a bit anyway. Donate money to save face.
I forgot what I wanted to say already. Oh yea, met some nice people here and there.
But there was this security guard whom my friend asked donations from. This security guard simply questioned whether all the money would go to helping the people who really need help. He was damn cynical, and wasted my friend's time, so I stepped in to let him waste my time instead. I ended with something along the lines of 'At least we know we tried to help' and walked off. What a bastard. So old already still want be like that. You don't want donate fine lah, we aren't forcing you to do anything anyway. Even if 90% of the money is eaten up by the greedy people, at least 10% is for the people who we want to help. And that much is good enough. At least we know we tried.
This reminds me of yet another experience. I was asking for donations for the Yellow Ribbon..project? Not sure, but it's for the ex-prisoners. Then there was this uncle who I debated with for a long time. We argued over whether prisoners deserve a second chance or not.
I realized that I wasted a lot of time there and then.
Dang.
Oh yea and we were at Central, Clarke Quay. Which means that the music the bands make would be heard by shoppers and shop owners. Duh. So there was this screamo band and one auntie was dang pissed. She ran out of her shop and shouted 'TELL THEM TO STOP NOW!' to X, where X is a random person. I think it was a security guard, hard to tell with crazy women. So she was shouting away and dang pissed and blah blah blah. I found it funny.
Aiya Singapore got thrashed. 3-0. It's not finished yet, but China is leading the 3rd game with 2sets at hand. Maths isn't looking too good for our side.
Bleh nothing much to say already. Except that China a bit..over. I mean, they could give us a gold medal but no. But then again that's just humane.
Update: Shit. I forgot about English Oral. Who the eff would forget about their oral examinations? I think I'm dang relaxed. No wait I'm not right now. =.= OK I shall stop blogging.
Another update(couldn't help it, this is scary): LIN DAN from China won the gold medal in badminton from Lee Chong Wei. I find it scary.
