Flag Day

Today is Flag Day. At flag day, we sell a sticker ("Flag"), and the money is donated to some charity groups.

From yesterday afternoon, I have been helping in some logistic jobs.


I think this looked more like a pile of rubbish.

So I slept at 2am, in a car. Woke up at 3.45am, prepare to do the things.

Logistic things are boring. I was helping to distribute the t-shirts and cans there, and then collect their stuff and put them together. The t-shirt is in strange pink colour, which most of us complaint for the ugliness.

After all logistic things done, we have a rest. After that, I changed into the very ugly shirt and go collect donation from around Engin fac. My partner is a girl name Choo Min.

Our job is simply knocking on the professor's room door and ask for donation. Because the classes haven't started yet, most of the offices are empty. This of course helped making our job easy.

When it was 11am, I felt like late afternoon. Though I had eaten some porridge, I felt very very hungry.

But my job wasn't finished yet. We had to stand at different entrance of Engin canteen ("Techno Edge") and ask from donation from passer-bys. I didn't know the case for others, but I was so hungry and tired that I didn't have energy to ask for donation from anyone. Despite that, I got about 15 donations, mostly from professors and researchers.

When the other group finally came for dismiss, I already felt pain in stomach because of hungriness. Luckily I was already at canteen.

After that, nothing else to do, and I went back to rest.
