Come Oct 4-5 2003, Habitat for Humanity Singapore is organising a SLEEP OUT event called Under No Roof. Under No Roof hopes to raise awareness among the youth in Singapore about the plight of billions around the world ... and guiding them towards the knowledge that they can do something, thereby empowering them individually, as well as collectively as Singaporeans.
When
4 - 5 October
Time
3 pm (Saturday) to 8 am (Sunday)
Where
National Youth Park
Registration Fee
$10 for students
$20 for working adults
Come and experience a day in the life of the homeless ... the powerful experience will change your perspective and will even change your life. We dare you to take up the challenge.
for those, who r too lazy to go to the website, basically, u pay s10 n they will give u a stack of cardboards which u r supposed to build ur 'home' for the nite. as this is a non profit org, no prizes wld b given to those who can last thru the nite. =)
btw, can someone pls remind me to estimate when wld i get my period? i wont want my dai yi ma to pay me a visit when im pretending to lead the cool life of a vagabond.
*ponders, cld i actually roll up the cardboard to stuff myself up? wld the cardboards b that absorbent? or wld they have been waterproofed as we got to zzz under that when it rains during the nite? tough qns. wld love it if anyone can provide me with feasible ans. thanx.

lionel richie -- hello
ive been alone w u inside my mind.
n in my dreams ive kissed ur lips a thousand times.
i somtimes c u pass outside my door.
'hello.
is it me ure looking for?'
i can c it in ur eyes
i can c it in ur smile
ure all i ever wanted
n my arms r open wide
coz u know just wat to say
n u know just wat to do
n i want to tell u so much.
'i love u.'
i long to c the sunlight in ur hair.
n tell u time n time again how much i care.
sometimes i feel my heart will overflow.
'hello.
i just got to let u know.'
coz i wonder where u r.
n i wonder wat u do.
r u somewhere feeling lonely
or is there someone loving u?
tell me how to win ur heart
for i havent got a clue
but let me start by saying
'i love u'
'u got me at hello, u got me at hello'
ha. forgive me. an irrelevant line from jerry maguire.
why did u have to say 'hello'?
'im alrite im alrite. it only hurts when i breathe.'
*suffers from an asthma attack n passes out.
*knock knock?*
'puck there?'
'no such person'
'then who u?'
'tin man'
'tin man who?'
'tin man from wizard of oz'
*door slams*
dont understand? shrugs. go figure.

i think ive made my econs teacher proud
for ive fully understood the inter-relationship betwn demand n supply.
b4 a supplier wld suppy a product or gd into the market, there must b sufficient demand from consumers first.
so, lets presume, if im the consumer, then my parents r the supplier as they r the ones who buy me stuff.
in order to get wat i want (a dvd player), i needed to create a demand for it first.
n how do i go abt doing it?
simple.
1) i bought tons of dvds from msia.
alas, that wasnt enough
2) i told my parents that i went to my frens place to watch dvds.
i knew that once my parents confirmed that i am les, they barred me from going over to my frens' places.
3) i showed my parents the dvds that ive bought n there were certain shows which they were itching to watch too.
n that seemed to do the trick.
viola, theres demand.
now, i got more excuses to buy dvds. lalala. (but no more excuses to go over gers' houses. sulks)

*work*
just knocked off.
some of u must b wondering wat kind of job am i holding.
esp since i have to work on a sun.
so i shall give u a lil of my job description.
we started in the morn, (the early bird catches the worm)
all of us gers n 1 man, lining up,
waiting for the men (clients) outside to walk in,
gave us the lookover
b4 picking out their personal faves.
once we had been 'chosen'
we led them to our respective rooms
with a plastic smile on our faces n swaying butts.
we then accompanied them in drinking
n making small tok
while stroking their egos (not dicks)
1/2 an hr passed, w many of their faces flushed,
we ushered them out, a much happier man.
we even gave them a white envelope each, expressing our heartfelt gratitude in choosing to patronise us.
