Long time never update my blog! Just realized that I have not blogged anything for the NEW YEAR 2009!!! Well, I want to say that I cannot believe that I did community service in the beginning of 2009 but it was FUN and fulfilling knowing that what I am doing helps the needy! Today (10th january) was supposed to reach 9 am at Greenwood Primary School but I was late!! But thank God haven't started!! Ha ha!! Firstly, before I continue many of you all will be wondering what is this community service I am talking about, so I will tell you all now!! Ha ha!! This community service is PROJECT RICE which is collecting rice of any amount donated by the residents of the HDB flats and distributing them to those who are in need! OK!! Now that all of you know what is that about, back to my story!! HaHA!!

All I had to do was to publicize about the PROJECT RICE event to the residents - a door to door publicity. We went in a group of three - me, winson and Aaron and we did 4 BLOCKS which are 685B, 685C, 686A and 686B continuously, missing the break at 1pm.  We had to go to every floor of every block, knocking onto every door and informing them that we will be coming to collect the rice from them on the 17th and on the 18th and also collect donations.

Every block had its funny and scary moments! ha ha!! Well,  I kind of forgot which block err but one block that we went and on that particular floor, we meet up with vicious dogs that barked crazily at us when we were publicizing! Another block was when we saw children wanting to donate some money and the cutest thing that they said was "Daddy I want to donate also! I go take money from your pocket!" ha ha!! The third block we saw a scary scene where there was an indian couple walking to their house when I saw the wife crying and screaming in Tamil " I HATE YOU!! I DON'T WANT TO LIVE THIS LIFE WITH YOU AND I WANT TO DIVORCE!!! " then the husband replied " I don't care!! YOU BETTER GET IN THE HOUSE NOW!! ". As though he wanted to beat her up! We were shocked and scared that we did not want to go over to their house to ask for donation. Well, when there is a good part, there is always bad part! When we went to publicize, there are people who did not want to donate and also did not want to open the doors when we knocked!! 

Well, even though there were these type of people, there are also good hearted people who donated $10, $5, $2!! They are all so good and I pray that they would be blessed!! Ha ha! Well, the whole event ended around 5 - 6 plus!! Can't wait for the 17th and the 18th!!

But the sad thing is I missed church service today (10th January) which I heard was AWESOME!!! Thankfully, I can go on sunday!!! I can't wait!!!

I got to go now. Time to sleep! Bye Bye!!
