(part 1)
we had a very interesting 'sight-seeing' session this afternoon during our shift for the salvation army:)
first person we saw was Lisa...who we didn't expect at all. *heh* and then we saw janice (former debater of nanyang) and jinin (sec 3 junior)...and i saw suat ying, my former classmate:) hahaha:) and we saw lots and lots of little children...*beamz* people are more generous today too...there were quite a few 10 dollar notes.
but the highlight of the day came at 3 something. the reason why we stayed till then was 'cos the girl's friend who's taking over the next shift is late or something...girl's rather friendly:) her name's wai ying:)
before i go onto the highlight, let me point out another person whom we saw...and conversed with. actually she came up to us to donate some coins...then she went on to tell her life story. (summarized version)
how she used to be a mental patient...and now she's cured...but her job's not good...and they actually want to fire her ...how she lost all her pride being a toilet cleaner (she's actually quite young) and how her mum remarried and she doesn't have a place to stay in...then something about her mum always saying that she's lazy. ah wellz. poor thing though. salvation army apparently helped her in getting a home and all that...
