CIP at Taman Jurong HDB Flats

There is no doubt that there are unfortunate prople living around us. Today was an eye-opener for me as I went around giving out flyers about our collection of newspaper collection next Friday. As I passed by, I saw a few units splashed with with paint, the walls scribbled with the notorious "O$P$" sign, and many trails of paint staining the ground. It was not a pleasant sight. Anyway, we got done with our jobs and moved on to a bigger but more pleasant block. The corridor was bigger, there were no traces of loan sharks chasing money from the residents, and there premise was much cleaner. However, it was much more of a hassle as there are many more residents there. Finally, we managed to finish giving out the flyers to all the residents there. Making our way back, I "suan" jokingly at the senior and said to estimate properly the amount of flyers that is needed.(because he went to and fro 3 times to get the flyers) Lastly, we waited unwillingly for a long time before the debrief as other classes have yet to assemble. The debrief was only a few sentences from Mr Krison Tan as the main event was to be held on 7th August.In a nutshell, I am happy to gain CIP hours from this event!
