YMCA Flag Day/ORD dinner at Sakura

My alarm rang and I ignored it... When I finally woke up, I glanced at my hp - it was 7.22am already!! Which means I'm late, lolx... Supposed to meet Yi Yin at 7.45am at Tampines Mrt... Anyway b4 I could drop her an sms, she told me she overslept too, lolx... So I sortof took my time... (not reli la, later she kill me, hahaz) Reached Dhoby Ghaut at 8.30am (we're not late =P) but her frenz were nowhere in sight...

It was close to 9 (8.50am I think) when 2 of them arrived... The last one arrived at around 9... There was Naomi, Jun Lin and Jia Sheng (hopefully I spelt their names correctly, lolx)... We went straight down to YMCA, (saw Weiting juz b4 we went in; she was on her way there oso) reported, changed and started work... First stop was Little India... Nv actually went to tat station b4 so it was something new to me... There's this Tekka market juz outside the MRT so we went there and started asking for donations... It was like more than 2 yrs since my last flag day (with Agape) so initially I was abit lost, hahaz... But I still remember that my first "customer" gave me a $2 note! After that sortof of remember how to do flag day and the pace picked up... One thing I learnt abt flag day is tat u cannot be scared of rejection, lolx... N sometimes the ppl tat look the least likely to give will actually donate... Shifted down further near Tekka Mall and continued until abt 11 when we had an early lunch... (so tat we could catch the lunch crowd later on)

After lunch we walked on down to near Sim Lim Square tat side... (at the Fu Lu Shou area) There's this big open area like a parade square and we split up into different directions to continue our flag day... "Business" was gd and I did all the way until 2 plus where it started to rain quite heavily... Sadly, tat marked the end of our flag day as we didnt do any more liao :( I was so close to filling up my tin can, think abt 3/4 full liao... We walked back to Little India in the rain (it was pouring la!) and went back to Dhoby Ghaut... It was still raining when we reached so we juz sat there and I stoned quite abit... Luckily the rain stopped after awhile and we went back to YMCA to return our tin cans and get our $3 allowance (Yi Yin was v worried tat we got no allowance, lolx...) After tat we went to ps mac to buy some food (I onli drank some ice lemon tea) cos some us were hungry... Apparently Naomi was quite interested in some of the songs in my hp but there wasnt enough time to send anything in the end, lolx... At abt 4 plus we split up and went our separate ways... I roamed around ps until abt 4.45pm b4 taking the train back to Tampines... Was super tired and contemplated going to Pasir Ris and back but in the end I juz got off at Tampines... That marks the first part of my day... Flag day was tiring but definitely fun!! =)

For the next part, I was supposed to meet Jing Jin, Weiding and James at 6pm to eat the Sakura buffet at Tampines Safra... It was to celebrate our ORD la, though Weiding and I ORDed abt 2 weeks ago whereas James and Jing Jin ORDed yesterday... In the end James and Weiding were late so we reached and started eating at abt 6.45pm... Barely one hour and I was ready to surrender... (I tried different kinds of salads, some sushi and had 2 rounds of main course) Getting old then the digestive system not so effective liao, lolx... But we managed to tok and share abt the 2 yrs spent in army... So many funny stuff la! N of cos there were topics Math and Science cos they were some of the best in the field in MJC (Weiding was the top student of our yr) So we talked abt how Weiding went to Wikipedia and discovered that there was so many ways to solve a Cubic Equation tat we didnt noe abt to some StarGate movie (sic-fic) that Jing Jin and Weiding wanted to watch, hahaz... N oso many other funnily intellectual stuff that I dont usually get to hear with other frenz, lolx... All in all it was a gd time spent I suppose... At least my brain cells get stimulated a little after 2 yrs of stagnancy or even deterioration, hahaz... Well, another day spent doing fun stuff... Let's hope things stay this way, at least for now =)
