Went for the 5h CIP session for today. We were at Jurong East Reg. Library at 0730, then I set off with Adam and Jun Wei to West Coast Park. The journey and the destination was so reminiscent - of the 12h Advance NCO hike. We took 176 (I think) there and surprise of surprises - a few teachers and my juniors from JWPS were there!
Met Mrs Syu and Mdm Suriati who donated generously. They are very good teachers. Now I can’t wait for teachers’ day LOL. They were (together with other students) painting the dustbin in West Coast Park. And my luck was quite good - the people there are polite and one woman with her 2 children even donated $100 to each of us! My parents went there too; so totally unexpected. Saw Boon Choong’s mother there also (I think she’s a parent volunteer).
We pang-sehed Adam and went IMM; got chased away by the security. After that, walked to Science Center - Wei Qiang was there LOL. Then would be Chinese / Japanese Garden, where we received our remaining 5% or so donations. (Better than nothing)
All in all collected about at least $110. According to a piece of paper, 100% would go to Darul Ihsan Orphanage - it was their Flag Day. Some volunteers are staying until 2200! Don’t know where they get the energy. I feel as if I have just returned from half an NCO hike. Haha.
