man, i'm so damn tired now, but today's CIP was so fun! i went to somerset at 2, and i was given about 10 bears and about 8 post-it pads to sell. the persons-in-charge thought that me and shara were 'innocent looking', so they told us to go to centrepoint. man, i think i repeated myself over a hundred times, and we walked up and down the road outside centrepoint at least 50 times. i kept saying, 'would you like to donate to the school pocket money fund?', and i said it so fast sometimes that i didn't even know what i was saying, cos everyone started walking faster when they saw us holding donation tins.

there were a few different kinds of reactions when we went up to people.

1. shakes head vigorously, meaning 'i don't want to donate'
2. looks at us, but nothing done
3. says 'i have already donated just now'
4. pretends not to see or hear us and just walks away
5. stops to listen, and then says no
6. nods vigorously (does that mean 'i want to donate' or 'i have already donated'?)
7. stops by to donate
8. buys either the bear or the post-its
9. asks loads of questions (like 'what is this for?', 'what school are you from' and so on) before donating

the largest amount donated was $10, while the smallest amount was about 5 cents. at 6 we were left with about 10 bears(including the bears that shara got) and 2 post-it pads. we sold more post-its as everyone who donated $2 got a post-it. i tell you, the post-its are so nice, and the teddies are so cute! i think i'm going to buy them next week. i still have to go next week to 'bu' for last weeek, cos i didn't go last week. remember to go to orchard to support me and the straits times school pocket money fund ok?
