the mid sem break just passed like this. In a wink of an eye, it is gone. I guess this is the first holiday in my entire sch life that doesn't feel like a holiday. having to wake up eariler than normal. going back to sch almost everyday. NUS is literally my second home now...

so today was the karang guni collection for desdanang. the no. of ppl who came was rather disappointing. i am sure some do have reasons so i shall not judge anyone. the collection went on rather well, despite the small manpower strength. everyone was still optimistic. Some families gave really lots of newspapers and old clothes. guess they did read the flyer we gave out. i'm glad that our efforts in distributating flyers door by door did not go to waste. the 'xiong' part was for those flats without lifts on every floor, where we had to carry down stacks and stacks of newspapers to the common lift level. really really 'pei fu' sumaiya, who came down to help us despite her fasting period. i was alreadly damm thirsty after 1 block and she cld actually not drink for whole day.. Camaraderie was really high at some points, esp at blk 315. we did quickly comb the whole block and had lots of stuff. seriously, if we had more manpower, we cld have done more blocks and perhaps get better results. dunno how much our collection will generate, but at this point, we got to raise our funds bit by bit. sorting things out back in nus was another xiong affair, but we did have lots of fun looking at what ppl gave us. haha.. next weekend is another of our collection (if all things go smoothly) and i seriously hope more ppl could come down to help us. all the fund raising events are coming up and i am all excited, esp the trip itself! and oh ya, we forgot to take photo today!!! must take a grp photo next wk!

okie... time to sleep... prepare for another week of hectic in school and for tuition!
