Flag Day

Walking down the street, there are some guy who are wearing all white uniform and black long pants, black shoes. Girls and boys, holding a metal made container, and label "St. John Malaysia". Anxiety to finding some one to donate into their box.
 
I'm a St. John member when I was form 2. I got that experience about flag day. First of all, we got a briefing on St. John headquarters on 5.30am in the young morning. Our commander will separate us to different places for donation. Some like market, shopping mall, or residents. One thing my commander told us that I'll never forget is "Don't come back if your box are not 3 quarter full, or you will be punished!". That was my first time to flag day, I don't even know what is 3 quarter. :-
 
So I go together with my best friend, Edwin, had gone to the morning market for donation. You can see how now a days human react. Some of them donate happily, but some of them get mad when they saw you come across.
 
Today, I've seen a St. John member come forward, and tell me to donate. Sure, I will. Because I experience it! So don't you felt frustrate to them!
