Few weeks ago, all of the secondary three students were asked to go for a CIP, Flag Day to be exact. It was an exciting event as you could spent more time outside the school and meet strangers. We could also help the needy through this event as we were collecting money for them. But it was a quite tough things to do as you would meet strangers who asked certain question. We need to convince them to donate to us. However, this was the feeling after I finished my Flag Day.

The day before the Flag Day, I felt quite bored with this event as i could not find any benefit that this activity would give me. I also felt that this activity was a waste of time. Unfortunately, since it was a compulsary activity which we need to attend, I push myself to do this activity. I keep on telling myself that it was only a one day event.

The day had come. My class was supposed to gather at Tanah Merah MRT station to collect our bag and stickers. Unfortunately, I was not feeling quite well. Throughout the journey from my house, i tried to rest so that i would feel better during the event. After quite a long journey, i reached the station. Outside the station, i saw a lot of students from our school and other school as well. I greet them and collect the bag. Then, we were seperated into smaller group and start collecting the money.

It was not an easy task. Some people did not want to donate as they did not have coins. Also, it was a tiring task as you would not sit for quite a long time. However, overall this activity was a fun thing to do. It also change my point of view of a CIP event.
