more reflections!
Reflections on CIP hours
Jue Ying;
As it was the first time doing such an eventful thing, I looked forward to it a lot. Especially the time when we made the flowers. We spent much time doing them, but the result was truly satisfying to overcome the pain.
On the daywhen I was to proceed for street sales, I was very excited and enthusiastic. I woke up exceptionally early to prepare what I needed. It wasn’t much though.
When I reached the place, I was fifteen minutes early. I looked around. No one was here yet. At first, I thought that I went to the wrong place and even began to panic. It was until I saw some GB girls that I heavsd a sigh of relief.
When we started selling, it was not easy. For some people, they wouldn’t buy any of all. Some would even say some sacarstic remarks. For others, they only wanted to donate. The funny thing is that were even asking us if the cookies are safe to eat or not!
It was quite fun until the second shift. After doing for four hours, we became tired. How could someone continuosly be so energetic for such a long time? Some can, but I must admit that I cannot do it. It was really too tough for me!
We started slacking a bit here and there. Finally, after another four hours, we finally finished our duties and were allowed to go home. Phew! My legs were already starting to wobble. However, I was glad that my effort paid off when we counted the sum of money that we have earned using our hands and mouths. It was over a hundred dollars!
I will never forget this experience. I really enjoyed it.

Recalling back, helping the Singapore Cancer Society to raise fund, really is tough. Going around Singapore, but it was indeed a fun and memorable experience. Shouting away “Hi, we are from Xinmin Girl’s Brigade helping the Singapore Cancer Society to raise funds, would you like to help them?’’ It was fun and tough, shouting all the way. Luckily, most people bought.
At first, it was really selling like hot-cakes. However, at the afternoon, it was very bad. Nobody wanted to help us buy, especially those youngsters. However, we never give up. By continuing shouting all the way. After that we had our short break and continue to ‘fight’. Just to attract customer. It was boring, but it was filled with fun, joy and laughter. So I hope to have another memorable experience like this the next time.

Previously, we went for street sales to help the patients of Singapore Cancer Society. In the later few posts, I will post reflections that were well done!
Reflection on Street Sales;
Shane Lim
Through the street sales, I have learned many things. I have learned that Singaporeans are very kind and warm-hearted. The street sales let me see the heart of Singaporeans and taught me that not everybody is willing to offer help to the people in the society. These street sales also taught me to be brave and courageous as we needed courage to talk to strangers and persuade them to help the people who are suffering. I have also learned that although we might be leading a normal and luxurious life but it might not be the same for the rest in the society. During the street sales I had also seen many different kinds of people. I remember that there is a middle aged woman who helped us to buy a flower although she did not have money with her but she still used all her remaining change to help us. There was this handicapped man who approached us himself as he felt very touched that we are helping the people and bought a flower from us. We also met this lovely couple who did not believe that we are from cancer society and kept on asking ‘really? really? ” But they still brought a pin each. I am very touched as the lady helped us with all the money she was left with although she might need it more than us. I am really happy to see such helpful people around us. And I am really grateful to those who have helped us along the way as they build up my courage. After this event, I learned to be more appreciative and to help others while I can. I feel really grateful and happy to have been involved in such a significant event. A big thank you to those who bought something to from us as if without them we would not have been able to sell the things off and managed to raised such great amount to help the patients of Singapore Cancer Society. A big thank you to Celina senior who let us be involved in such meaningful event.
