Today woke up at 6.45 to prepare for jobweek.. For anyone who still remains ignorant about it, its a compulsory activity for all Scouts that falls on the whole week of the March holidays. But since our unit's so cool, only the first 3 days are compulsory =D For this year, the 3 days happens to be sat, sun and monday. We have to go to flats anywhere in Singapore asking for household chores that we can do to earn some money. 50% goes to Scout HQ and 50% goes to us. That reminds me of d SS notes. Since we only get 50%, i shall only work 50% of the time =D So anyway after getting ready in full uniform, went to braddell macdonalds to collect the jobweek card and usual stuff. Breakfast was free of charge =D Sausage mcmuffin with choice of juice, coffee or tea lol. After dispersing, went back to Beatty with zhenjie becoz of his HCL giro form thingy. Supposed to find Mr Lim. Went up to d hall and saw adeline,yuqi, magdalene and benjamin. The 3 girls were helping out at biology i think. Ben was helping at geog O.O Couldn't find tcher in d hall, so we went to call him. Went outside the HOD room and looked for his name. Finally found his name and we all realized something.. His full name was Joe Lim SG. Doesn't sound familar? Go pronounce Joe-Lim fast and see what you get. I'm not gonna spell it out for you =P

Gay fag didn't pick up d phone when we called him so zj passed d money to raffles for him to pass on to teacher. When walking out of school, calista n chloe who were sitting at d red benches called us over. They thought we were doing flag day o.O Sure.. Maybe it's flag day. Why not call it ''go-around-people-houses-asking-for-jobs-and-money-day"? But to say the truth, I don't see why it's called flag day. You don't go around selling flags right? After getting out of school, we decided to tackle the blocks around school. After the first round yielded totally nothing.. We went to the area of flats just behind the parade square. By that time, weiyuan and boonchong had already broke away from the main group and went to tackle a few other nearby ones. So me, zhenjie and vincent did one block. Did after a while, totally no jobs and no donations so gave up T.T Vincent still continued and he came down after a while. He got $19 liao. We all nothing yet =.= Left 8 floors so I choped last 5 floors n gave vincent 6-8. Zhenjie still downstairs playing psp.. After 5 floors, had $11 with me =D Met up with the other two. Went to get drinks and then headed for the row of 80-86 blocks. Didn't manage to finish all since we all stopped half-way for lunch. Since there were so many of us, each person took a whole block. Found this job at block 80A or 82A (cant remember). Was this indian family. Weird thing was, master of d house was an ex-beatty student. Wife was ex girlguide n red cross member. Daughter, who was quite grown up, was ex girl guides. And whole family of brothers and uncles who were not living with them, all ex-scouts. X.X So d family knew about jobweek and gave me a job =D Helped polish 5-6 pieces of silver thai souveneirs that one of the brothers bought back a long time ago. The family was darned warm and hospitable. Kept asking if I would like a drink, talking to me about scouting, school life, outside issues like mas selamat issue, the elections in US, holiday trips and other stuff. Had fun sharing with them larhs. They gave me 10 bucks after the job was done. Rushed over to fork and spoon to meet the rest who had already finished lunch by then. Had $31 by then and was feeling quite happy until vincent spoiled my mood. $72 that idiot -.- Dunno how the hell he gets so much money.. Went kim keat area and then to whampoa/ semi detached part of jalan bahagia.

Ended day with ..
Vincent : $105.85
BoonChong : $60++
ZhenJie : $51
WeiYuan : $70
Me : $70

$150 short of the $220 target set by us.. Jiayous all! Have to work harder

My wish for tomorrow shall shatter my soul.
