As I can see, this blog is very dead, so I decided to post something from my eport. Though it might be boring, i hope it can spice things up a little____________________________
Today my friends and I went to collect old items from residents at west coast to raise funds. Not sure what they are for, but I think it is for visiting the old folks home.
During this CIP, I applied the PATH.
I am a pioneer. Me and my friend hurberg were the first in our group to climb to the 14th storey of the HDB flat. I can't believe we beat the elevator up to the 9th storey.
I am an achiever. We managed to beat the Karang guni man who appeared several times and apparently it seemed that he was snatching our "business".
I am a thinker. We put our newly gotton old baby pram to use by stacking our other old items and me on it and pushing it. And then i broke it under my weight, and it was made worse with some people crashtesting it at the void deck.
I am a humanitarian. Hurberg and I were polite to the people.
One of the houses also had a guy wearing a necklace and a green underpants. Looks like the mocca man. :)
There was this big box of clothes too; we checked it thoroughly to make sure there weren't any drugs or contraband in it.
What we got:
-a TV! (big and bulky one)
-a pram (broken)
-a monitor, cpu and a keyboard (too bad the cpu was empty, if not can play com)
-clothes, some of them were new and unopened
-many recyclables
-and LOTS and LOTS of newspapers and magazines. One of the houses had so many that the garbage bag broke on the stairs and the corridor. And what we got in the end was a whole pile of clothes and reading materials that filled up the entire lift up to our knees.
I find this CIP activity quite interesting. Sounds childish, but it resembles some sort of video game where you have to collect items to bring back to headquarters. Some people got to excercise, by climbing many flights of steps and to the 14th storey at least 4 times. In addition, we got to meet many kind of people-friendly ones, and very very unfriendly and stingy people.
I hope future CIP activities would just be as fun.
