Yeah, today we went kettling! Oh well today me, Cun Zheng, Swee Wei, Candice, Wei Jun, Bee Fong and Jinfa met up at East Point (Simei MRT) at 11.00am and had our lunch before we started our kettling at 12.00pm. Anyways, the 3 girls were stationed at East Point to do their kettling while the rest of the guys followed the Salvation Army van to our check point outside Tampines MRT.
When we finally reached and set up our station outside Tampines MRT, then came the routine of wearing the "nice" Salvation Army apron and ringing the bell haha. As for me, I was mostly in charge of giving out the free Starbucks coffee vouchers to people while the rest continued ringing the bells and entertaining donations. And as a habit, I always bow to people as a form of courtesy before stretching out my hand to pass them the voucher. So now, my back kind of hurts after giving out those hundreds of vouchers haha. Well being patient does come in handy when giving out flyers... And after all that ringing, I can still hear the ringing in my ears now sia... Ok maybe not so serious until that extent, but all that ringing has brainwashed me. I bet if I enter any Long John Silver, I'll start ringing the bell and say its a natural reaction haha. Well I guess you all should understand my point :)
Halfway through, Ping Qi joined us cause she found out that she was free at the last moment, and in the end cause Jinfa and Cun Zheng had other matters to attend to, only me, Swee Wei and Ping Qi were left at the kettling station before we changed to the next shift. The few of us had quite a few laughs, cause we were really bored and thought of many ideas of how to make kettling more interesting... Well any people who are going for kettling soon can approach us for ideas to reduce boredom haha.
Well, after our kettling shift from 12pm to 5pm ended, we all went back home cause everyone had their own activites already. At the end of the day, it seemed the girls side had a better response cause they had met a special donator who donated $50 dollars! Well if you ask me, I bet its cause the person only had 1 $50 note and the rest were in hundreds haha. And the donator was a female? Haha I thought it would have been a guy. Well in the end kettling isnt about who got more donations of anything. Its about helping others in need.
Finally, I wish to thank Jinfa, Bee Fong and Ping Qi for joining us today for kettling.We appreciated it! The more company the better :) I believe you all have a good time as well? Oh well, cya all at school!
