It is a challenging day.
I was on my own combing every household on Wednesday, 040209.
Just as you may be wondering what am I doing combing 1 block of flat and every household, I just accepted a job, which is going about to door to door representing a charity foundation, “ to do a awareness problem with all the residents from the block and at the same time, to save as many lives as possible.”
This ” ” coded is the phase that I had been saying for the past one week, I was on a part time basis, every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, I will be going to field with my other colleagues in the company to help raise fund for a local charities.
Knowing my job scope, I was able to meet many different kinds of Singaporean, from those nervous that you are here to sell them something which they defined you as ” salesman” or “promoter” in technical terms.
Well, I also met people who are willing to listen yet it might be economic situation, bad reports of misuse of donations from NKF saga and Ren Ci issues, thus all the charity organisation and even the one I am currently helping is also affected, as people will pictures ” all charities are the same”.
I was alone without my mentor with me. I was more relaxed as I will not be corrected of my mistakes going door to door. I was placed on immediate test to be positive as rapid as possible and smile to the next door of the person I will be meeting. I was a quick picking-own-self-up process which I had learnt.
Well, this past 4 days, hitting the battle field, it was challenging to be seeing people of all kinds, from housewives, to retirees, working adults, children even doggies from the loudest BARKS ever to the quietest and cutest doggies.
I will remember…Yesterday
I was offered a drink from Ms Lim, a mother and working adult, a icy Ice Soda using her family cup, as I was doing my full pitch with her and lost my voice, I was sharing my purpose of coming to door to door and my voice just go off.
Though she did not sign up, yet she offered me a cup of drink which makes my day and melt my heart to even work harder for the patients and family who are willing for the donation.
Well overall,
I was a rewarding experiences, though it was uneasy to go alone.
A mix feeling of joyful as I was not watched by my mentor, but uneasy becos I got to “pretend” a brave front to all the people I will meeting when started but brainwashing is good for me, as I was really doing something good, so fear NOT.
Life goes on…and keep smiling like below…
Hope everyone will be feeling like watching a spectacular fireworks with smiles and cheers again!
