Minus the fact that i was on the verge of getting infected with some eye infection, sore throat and symptoms of flu,Flag Day was the norm.Technically,as of present, my eyes are in tremendous pain as i'm multi-tasking between listening to music,blogging and typing out my history essay. [It is an apparent sign that my sub-conscious mind is preoccupied with plotting a devious plan in trying to tempt me into resigning to my sickness and giving up with all that i've been busy with.] FAT HOPE! I'm going to let go that easily.

Going back to my Flag Day experience, i must say that this is the best flag day session that i've ever had so far.084C is such a darling.We did everything together as a class from travelling to having lunch to doing rounds of collection.
I've never realised that i have such caring classmates until just hours ago. They made sure i had lots of drink and constantly checked on me. I must admit that i feel like a toddler under the supervision of a number of guardians.

Next up,the organiser approached me and one of my classmates.
Organiser: Would the two of you be willing to help me out?
My friend and i: How would we be of help?
Organiser: Actually, i'm rather shorthanded.Can the two of you help brief the other students while i direct them to the both of you.
*Pauses for 30 seconds*
My friend and i: SURE!
I went ahead with conducting the briefing even though my voice was atrociously cartoon-like.
I had fun even while helping the organizer conduct the briefing.

I managed to bag home some valuable experience after the whole event.

The tendency for parents with small children donating are higher then that without small children.
Don't bother asking donation from those exhibiting executives or professional persona's.[Chances are,they are too busy(or pretending to be too busy) to even notice you!]
Approach people with caring appearances.
Flirt in a friendly manner as and when necessary.
Smile even when rejected.
Show genuine forms of appreciation by thanking those who have donated with utmost sincerity.
Appear pitiful.
Use reverse psychology techniques.
BE NICE!!!!

Even asking for a small amount of donation may sometimes be a chore especially when you face tremendous rejections. It makes you as a human being wonder what it would actually take for some to actually contribute to the society and how ironic situations are such that when there is a charity show airing on air, the figures keep on climbing up in comparison to that when you're actually doing it and how difficult it is to get people to even contribute 10 cents.

Of course, the other thing i learnt was how some hooligans could actually use the idea of donating in exchange for your name and phone number.Humans and their creativity.What The Heck!
