so obviously damn shagged in the morn aft the long day b4. din even feel like gettin out of bed. so was kinda late, but luckily the speaker didnt arrive yet. think all the facis were on time; it was the camp com that was late!! aniwaes yups good to finally meet her and hear her talk abt the youths. then there were the games, which obviously lazy me didnt participate in. cant even rem wat i was doin. i muz hv been settling sm admin stuff again. lunch, and luckily i didnt hv to be a guard dog again. aft that helped prog to set up the nightwalk stuff, so i didnt get the follow the whole grp to the botanic gardens :pout1 but the mock nightwalk in the classrm was kinda funny tho, regretted not bringin up my digicam to record KW and KH; those 2 guys are a blast!

aft dat had to settle the design of the tshirt, well more like my chasing my sponsors for their logos. apparently we had to get the design to the printer by 6pm and it was alrdy 4+ and i still hadnt received one last logo and the lady said her designers were in a meeting. i tried searching online, gary n kq were helping me out but dunno wat sorta company issit, dunno how come no webbie one. luckily she managed to send it to me in time, and luckily the printer said that we could give it to her on monday.

so..we cleared up and left. walked out with hy and yen to the busstop b4 eugene came on his white ‘horse’. haha so had a ride back together with yen, and the nice guy dropped me str at my doorstep again instead of at the mrt stn. haha think its my fault, cos i thought i could walk back, but there was not realie a convenient place to alight unless u consider the road shoulder of the PIE?! so eugene was juz like heck it, he can juz mk a round and drop me off. reached home in record time haha, and thank goodness too, cos i reallie wanted to drop dead.

Garang Guni Day!! omg i could hv died. had to collect old newspapers, clothes and junk to raise funds for the camp. even tho i had gotten enough money, we had alrdy agreed to do it, and aso we all thought we shld be prudent and get extra money juz in case. so..had to report at Tampines at 9am!! Ohmybloodygosh so freakin earli i wasnt even thinkin clearly. so i was grouped with hy, elene, peifen and ralph. and not forgetting the all-impt trolley that ralph managed to get from his fren. so..we covered..how many blocks ah? i know we all had to cover 26 blocks in total, so my group covered 6 or 7 blocks cos we had an extra block. forget why yen assigned us an extra block. but it was okie lah. quite fun leh. erm think i quite slow? or me and hy quite slow. cos elene and peifen cleared the blocks quite fast so we moved pretty quickly. i think cos i was quite persistent. i hated it when i can see that the windows are open and ppl are at home yet they dun wanna open the door. i hated it when the door was wide open and i could see this at least knee-high pile of newspapers but when i asked, they refused to give anythin. :mad1 damn irritating. so i spent extra time at this kinda houses, like knocking more than 3 times and askin repeatedly. YES i was a PEST but hey, i need the money kaez. so i guess dats why me and hy moved slower. but it was fun lah, working with them all. we managed to finish by around 3+ or 4pm. KW was such an energizer bunny man, he couldnt stop talkin even aft we finished. we were like so tired liaoz but he still had energy to crap so much. so aft dat yen, ralph and CH went to lor harus while a few of us went to TM to chill out. slack until 5+, 6pm b4 we left. and when i reached home i crashed. for half an hr. b4 hauling my fat ass to the bathroom to remove all the icky dust, grime and sweat. heez..aft dat dunno wat the hell i was doin but i slept late again. i reallie hv to do smthin abt my sleepin pattern.

Garang Guni Day again!! yes one day not enuf, muz do 2!!! omg i wanted to die. canot move out of bed cos so tired. was grouped with yt, hy, dor, mag, ralph and KH. kq and CH were late. so it was reallie quite shitty. dunno how come, muz be LDMR cos we were reallie damn slow. we had 6 blocks to cover, and yen assigned us another 7 more i think. cant reallie rem the figures, but i knew we were reallie slow; we onli finished 3 blocks by lunchtime while yen’s grp had alrdy started on their 2nd batch of flats. bleah. think mebbe cos we slow? or mebbe we are thorough? or mebbe cos CH and KQ din come till aft lunch time? reallie dunno how come we moved so slowly. and dunno why juz felt so tired liaoz lor. on Sat, i was still okie, quite fun and enthu. but today, i juz wanted to pengz. i think its aso cos we were at the older blocks. where the lifts onli stopped on the 6th and 11th floor. it was a damn killer man i tell u. hvin to climb up and down flights of steps for all the blocks. and the stuff dat u hv to carry up and down the steps as well!! omg i tell u, if u juz do this, its enuf exercise to lose weight alrdy man. dun hv to do anythin else. and of course as i got increasingly tired, i got increasingly pissed, and it din helped to hear sm news abt smbody dat totally spoilt my mood aso. bleah. in the end, yen’s grp had to cover my grp’s flats, and at the end of the it all, we had 1 more block which we din cover at all. but we juz decided to give up on it cos it was kinda late, around 5pm alrdy! we finished so much later den the previous day!! i seriously think its due to the lack of manpower, cos quite a few ppl din come; and aso the disgusting lifts which din stop at every level. hy and i walked to my cousin’s hse (which was not within the scope dat we were supposed to cover) but cos she had quite a bit of newspapers for me, so i decided to go lor. in the end, wah even got like 2 high piles of mags, so in the end i called eugene to drive there, collect the stuff and drive us back. den Yen, HY, YT, Ralph, CH and I went to lor harus to dump all the stuff. it was an interestin experience tho, to look at where all these stuff goes to. we helped to dump it all into this big metal container. the uncle who drove the lorry for us was very friendly and nice aso, unlike the previous day’s one. den Yen and i were aso playin with his niece Gina at the office while we were waitin for payment. Gina is prolly like 4 yrs old? but she’s damn smart and adorable. den CH drove us back to the mrt stn. long disgusting day, with lotsa mosquitoe bites!! but i’m glad i survived thru it all and we managed to raise extra money.

wah garang guni is hard work man. can u imagine? 1 kg of newspapers is only worht 8cents leh!!! so little!! cant even mk one fone call!!! tsk tsk. 1 kg of clothes worth abt 45cents so not so bad. we collected abt 6,000+ kg of newspapers!! yups. but the garang guni men all so poor thing rite? how to earn lydat, when it juz cost so little? hai. esp all those old men, and those old women who go around pickin up cardboard.
