RESULTS ouuttt!!!!!!

gosh! actuali got A- for sthg difficult, and B! for sthg i thot i wld get A for!!!! o my... wad happened?? cant get over shock. and cap is... dropping, but tt was expected, so ok...

went flagging... muz admit i'm old-lil enthusiasm that's easily crushed by rejection and cold looks; was more energetic in the past. Took like 10 tausend breaks, had a long lunch, and kept skiving, looking jolene and irene up and abandoning my post.

o, sthg interesting. Was resting on a stone ledge with jolene, then this fit, tanned old lady came up and donated then sat down and started talking. the second thing she said was that she will be 90 next year(WOW!) and that she swims(wow! no wonder the healthy complexion) after remarking how tired we muz be(oops, too slack liao). then she brought us thru a brief history of her life(she went to jakarta b4 coming to spore, learnt tailoring, then married and her husband left her, and she brought 7 kids up singlehandedly, 5 of which r still unmarried), her present ongoing(she has 2 grand-daughters in rgs, and she drinks milk every morning, and she and her grand-daughter are very close) and her views on pple who snob the canvasser or refuse to donate. It still amaze me to noe tt she 90; 70 years later, what would become of me? she said she did flagging b4, in her twenties, and then the tins were huge, not like today's, and were so very heavy, but hey, she's strong, and can carry a 10-kg rice still! this much i can gather, from her multi-language-influenced tongue; she was constantly switching, unconsciously, from mandarin to teochew and hokkien and a bit of hakka, i suppose, as i heard foreign words in between and she had said she's a hakka(she can oso speak malay and , lo and behold, tamil!), though she was making an effort to stick to mandarin so that we can understand her better.

then shopped, bought some earrings(still deciding which to give away as xmas exchange) and home.
