Taiyou no Uta! YUI! Omg it's so cute, the movie (: The ending was so sad T.T Shan't provide any spoilers to those who wanna borrow the VCD from me HAHA. Held my tears back even though I wanted to cry haha. Aby was multitasking while watching then apparently I guess Algy almost cried too ^^; I have to applaud myself for multitasking--shouting into the phone with Jun2 and playing Scrabble until cannot form any more words :D

Today's Flag Day was a drag. It kept raining. At first I was still worried that I'll get a burn. Meimei and I met Cline and Finalia so we borrowed an umbrella. Went to Starbucks to take a break despite the ex prices. It was nice, the ice-blended choc thing (: I learned that the best way to do flag day is to stay put at one place, preferrably where there're traffic lights. Some people while waiting for them to cross, they went up to drop (a) coin(s). I asked a standard question: Would you like to donate? Received a few different answers:

- Look straight with an overcast face. Scary. And common.
- Slow reaction to my question and just look down at my tin and continue walking.
- I ask the question, they IMMEDIATELY look away.
- I noticed that some people see me there they walk horizontally away from me.
- Overcast face and put their hand up to reject.
- Slight apologetic smile and put their hand up to reject.
- One of them even raised her hands and smiled in an awkward way, the way a child looks when you give him his most hated veggies. I wanted to LAUGH okay!
- Walk away a bit, but then return to donate.
- Stop when I requested a donation, digs pockets for all the coins they have and chuck them inside the tin.
- Stop when I requested a donation, take a coin from wallet/pocket and chuck it in.

When I was at the traffic light, some were nice to go up to me to donate without my request (: I think the females seem nicer though. There was this lady who was reaching into her bag to take her wallet but was pulled away by her boyfriend. She looked up to him but he seems to just wanna say "continue walking". Some funny scenes...

- I approached a Westerner and he said "Sorry, I've no change". Then after that he walked back, took out all his coins and chuck them into the tin. After thanking him, he walked away. THEN, he came back with another 50c coin and placed it in the tin (:
- Another westerner digged both his pockets and got out all his change. "Well, might as well give them all to ya," was what he said. After putting them all in, he asked "Now, how's that?" with a wink. Haha. I just thanked him as usual.
- THE ICE CREAM MAN! Meimei went to buy ice cream then the uncle gave us both 20c for out tins from Meimei's money (:
- Meimei, Cline, Finalia and I wanted to know whether Taka had food cuz we didn't know so we asked the guard. I guess the guard didn't understand English cuz he pointed into Taka, showed us the action of placing coins into the tin and pointed outside Taka. I assume he thought we're asking whether we could collect donations within Taka ._.
- Near the traffic light, I asked a man with his girlfriend to donate but he rejected. Then I saw his girlfriend look at him and say something. They stopped at another nearby traffic light. After that the girlfriend came over to donate a dollar coin for me. (:

In the end, my tin was heavier than Meimei's! ((: It was raining heavily after we finished our shift, so had no choice but to walk in the cold rain D: Ah well. My feet were so sore upon reaching home...
