First time doing Flag Day on Wednesday. It was a hell of an experience. --" Firstly, there is the Asian Financial Crisis... although I really doubt donating a simple 50 cents would make you broke. However, I've seen a number of weird and funny reactions when you ask people to donate money. Here are some of the most funny reactions (some are rather cute)

1. There was this guy in a working shirt and the conversation went something like that...
"Would you like to donate(...)"
"Is there a minimum fee?"
"No, its any amount you like."
(and then he took out a $5 note and put it into the bag)

2. There were people who automatically donated. People who donated when asked. People who gave you a black face, saying "Go away you annoying pest." It made me feel like telling them "Its not like I wanted to do this anyway, I could be at home doing whatever I want. I'm doing this out of goodwill." --" There were people who were even worst, they turn to one side completely ignoring. I wonder how difficult it is to even say a small "No, thank you."

3. There was this dramatic girl who shouted "I am broke" at us when we asked. She was probably feeling depressed or pissed off at that time. But that was the most dramatic reaction I have ever seen.

I don't really know how much I collected by I treated Wan Ting and I to Coffee Bean as we were tired from travelling from Tanjong Pagar to Orchard, Bugis and then to Douby Ghaut.
