Muse, Flag Day

20th January.

Muse came and gone.
Some say it was the greatest gig in the history of all greatest gigs.
Some say the Singapore crowd sucks.

Whatever it is, MUSE never fail to give the best
live performances in the world.

Thank goodness there is YouTube

we had flag day for CIP this year.
it was for the Dahrul Ihsan Orphanage.
it was my 3rd time doing flag day.
first 2 being for Yellow Ribbon.

judging from how HEAVY the others' cans were,
i think me, sufi and haziq got more collections thn the rest
of the class combined.

just kiddin. i only checked a few ppl's.
and u cant judge by how heavy the can/tin is.
anyway wads most important is dat we did it
without hesitation and from the heart.

LOTS of FUNNY things happened.

i was standing at my spot.
an Indian man approached me.

with the mainland Indian accent, he went on to say:

Indian Foreigner: Excuse me, where MRT?
A-z: Over there *points to direction of Lavender
Indian Foreigner: How to go to Hollywood?

halo! Hollywood leh. the moment he said dat,
a few possibilities crossed my mind.

1. Did he mean Bollywood? But still, dats not a place.
dats just a term for Indian filming industry.

2. Is it an attraction or theme park in Singapore which i
dont know of?

3. Does this guy even know he is in Ma-ri-ki-ta Land,
not the USA?

4. Is this guy a star in the making? Just lost?

with his accent, he kept on saying Hollywood, Hollywood, Hollywood.
i bit my tongue just to hold my laughter.

he finally took out a map.
and guess where he pointed to?

WOODLANDS.

A-z: yes sir, MRT is better than bus.
Indian Foreigner: OKAY. thank you
A-z: *laughing alone in the middle of the street

then something funny happened to SUFI.

i was talking to him about Scout's Job Week.
in which they raise funds by going around house to house,
asking if they could do any chores.

A-z: What if they dont want u to do any chores?
Sufi: Even if they dont want we just ask them,
"Would you like to make a contribution.."

so at this very moment a lady walked past.

Chinese Lady: For?

get it? she tot Sufi was talking to her.
so she asked what the contribution was for.

Sufi got a lil shocked. thn said it was for orphanage.
Haziq, Iskandar and I IMMEDIATELY laughed.

much more happened today.
but for now, imma continue watching Naruto.
