Today is Flag Day...me first time doing flag selling leh, song bo ? Meet up wif the others at serangoon mrt, den reach saint gab at 7.30, walau, there so chaotic sia, so many schools' students all gather there....wait for quite a long time den got my can. Well, i no one to follow, at first follow GDP n geraldine they all, den hopped to kenneh, dingo, alvin, dom n lymon den hopped to shengchao wanglu edwin n gab. Haha. Well, follow shengchao's group take NEL to no where. Den in the train meet kenne's group again. Ok, along the train ride, shengchao's group ditch me. Darned ! Now i am left wif kenne's group. Ok lar.

Sooo we alight at Clark Quay, sooooo quiet man. No one one. We decided to split into 3s den meet back at the same point. Me alvin n lymon go one way, ok , no one wanted to donate. Lymon made his first move n he got it. Den he wade off to dunno where where me n alvin decide to ditch him. Hahaha. So many ditching game. We cross the river over the other side n got into MITA bldg. I got my first coin there. Haha, hurrey, i did it!!! Meet up wif kenneh dingo n dom n we went back to NEL. Kenne dingo n lymon alight at Chinatown while me dom n alvin alight at outram. Got a few more donations at outram...we decided to walk towards chinatown....BUT....THERE R SOOOOO MANY OTHER SCHOOL STUDENTS OSO HOLDING THAT STUPID SAME CAN SIA !!! This means area cleared. Oso saw one or 2 zhssrians over there flag selling. So we go back to outram....and heres where the tiring part begins.

I walk to the original entrance of the outram station, there saw alot of cedar girls flag selling...sooo we walk further down den reach CTE. hahaha. No one there, so we decide to walk down further more. Cross under CTE and walk down, heading towards Tiong Bahru. Meet vehicles but no pple. Haha. Walk for a very long time, den we found overselves stranded in Tiong Bahru. Met a group of ang mo, they very generous sia, donate quite a few bucks. ONe even took out her malaysian ringits n ask alvin if we accept malaysian money. Haha. Walk further down, reach delta there, near the King's Hotel, Coppetone hotel n the appollo hotel there. Den walk further down , cross S'pore river. Walau, the weather very hot den lor n our legs r acheing after walking for 25 minutes non stop. We walk further down n reach Great World City. By that time we very tired le. So rest at the busstop n replenish the stickers on the can.

Carry on walking, this time walk until River Valley Road, we decided to walk to orchard, which seems unreachable then. Mebbie we all peng sang (faint) before reaching orchard. haha. Walk walk walk, reach Grange road when we saw Marriot hotel from far....YIPPEEE...FINALLY NEAR ORCHARD. Hahaha. So we walk on n reach orchard. But to our disflavour.....THERE EVEN MORE SCHOOLS WITH THE STUPID SIMILAR CANS THERE LOR...there alot of fairfield meth n st nick girls (well, st nick girls r everywhere holding the can flag selling, we saw them everywhere). Dom n Alvin cant take it anymore, they sit down there n rest for a very long time, while i am chasing them to go on. Haha...can see they too tired leh, walk sooo long , i think got 8km lor, if not minimum oso got 7.5km. Walk down orchard, out of the 100% of pple, 50% were students flag raising, so how can we get our share. Right ? We take MRT to dhoby ghaut, den change train back to serangoon. Decided to contact some other classmates, well, they went as far as we did, some went to Habourfront, Yiqin's gang to Pasir Ris, some went to Clementi....Hahaha... is like everyone is everywhere. Oh yah, forget to add, everytime we past by other schools' students oso selling flags, we diao them n they diao us back. hahaahah, very fun man, like some enemies liddat.

Went back to serangoon, den decided to go back school as ask for money, well, i managed to get hold of some media club juniors, n oso harry. Haha....den walk back to St Gab, so tiring !!!!! My legs r breaking lor. Finally return the cans. Omgz....finally !!! Hahahah, by that time i cant take it, immedialtey find a chair n sit down. Cannot lar, very tiring lar, the legs, now still ache leh.
