The day I helped deliver yellow pages
Ai ai, it's the last day of the semester tomorrow, and I'm still procrastinating over my assignment due then. :(
I went fundraising again today with Kelvin and Sharon.... by delivering the yellow pages to residential and industrial areas. Gosh. The last time we went delivering the white pages, we had the help of more people so the job was kinda easier, but this time I guess everybody was more concerned about studying with the upcoming exams, so less people were available for the job. Luckily, there were no mishaps. I remembered the last time another friend of ours was complaining about leery guys from the industrial areas when she walked in with the phone books alone. I commented then that perhaps she was too attractive to the workplace men ;P as for us, we just looked frustrated and dishevelled, with hair flying all over the place, so as if such a thing would happen to us! There was this guy who thought that I was selling some product though, so he "wrinkled up his nose" and shook his head apologetically when I walked up to him with the yellow pages. Funny. I wonder if he really knew that I was only trying to deliver the FREE bks.
But the area was still too big for us to cover in one afternoon! Arghhhh... and as a momento, I just discovered scratch marks over my forearm which must have developed due to our wonderful experience this afternoon. :(
I guess, looking on the bright side, it just means that we could now go to the half way day (the event we were raising funds for) with a clear conscience, and drink our full share of the alcohol we helped buy!!! (Yikes, beer, here we come....)
