CIP

Hi all,
Well recently, 3 days ago in fact, the CMCs of every class has to go for this CIP. It is to give out flyers to the residents living around Taman Jurong. Well, basically it is to inform them about an upcoming newspaper collection which is on this coming Friday. This newspaper collection is basically supposed to be our "National Day Celebration", not that it is much. All the proceeds for this collection is supposed to go to the Taman Jurong CC.

Well at first, my father could not really find the CC. I mean, it is not as if there was a big sign saying " I am the Taman Jurong CC" or something like that. So after half an hour of circling round practically the entire of Taman Jurong, we finally found the place. Many of my school mates were already there. So after a long wait (not sure why it took so long as I was playing my PSP) it was time to give out flyers to the residents living around there. Since the next class, 1P2, was quarantined, we had to take over their role and instead of a total of 6 blocks, we had to take on a total of 12 (NOT FAIR!) blocks. Since there were six CMC members in our group, we split the job into three groups, two people for 4 blocks. I was paired up with the welfare secretary Nicholas Hong (d0tarocks.blogspot.com) and MAN! There was a lot of work to be done.

I can't really remember what blocks we went to, all I remember about the blocks, were that they were H-U-G-E. So many units, so little time (3hrs). So, we went to every door and knocked twice (Good morning sir/madam, here is a flyer to inform you of next week's newspaper collection). If no one's in, well, lucky us. All we had to do was to drop a flyer into their front gates and NEXT UNIT.

Quite a lot of people were out, considering the fact that it was a Saturday morning, although it could be that they were simply pretending to be out. I could have sworn that I heard footsteps coming to the door before leaving again. =(

I also lost count of how many times I got greeted with a dog bark. Well, I guess they just hate poor little Hwa Chong students walking around knocking on doors and giving out flyers...(Just joking... really...).

After completing our second block, we realised this: ALMOST OUT OF TIME AND FLYERS!!! After getting a stock-up from Lester (our supervisor), we instead of knocking twice, reduced to one set of knocks per unit. At the last block. We were already out of time. In desperation, well, we sort of like just dropping the flyers into every unit we saw. I know it wasn't the right way to do things but... we WERE out of time...

After the CIP, I felt really beat, honestly, and guess what? I still had to rush for tuition.

I felt that it is a really enriching experience, for the simple fact that I never went for a trip like this in my life. I have experience how it is like to give out flyers. Such a new experience... How I wish ther is more of it. I have enjoyed the trip. =)
