Dangerous Stunts Vs Public Donations
Am so glad that the sky has unfolded, we finally see the beautiful SUN after 2 freaking days of continuous rain! So wish that I can be home now to do my heaps of laundry, Hubby is running out of black socks to wear liao, hiaks!
Anyway, last night after dinner, I sat down in front of the TV to catch Ren Ci Charity Show with my mobile phone, all ready to dial in to the donation hotline to pledge my donation. I've never been an avid donor to all charity shows by MediaCorp, much less to the then-propagandised NKF (note: I didn't lose a single cent to them! haha!)
Ok sorry, I have digressed..back to Ren Ci show.
I caught Reverend Ming Yi doing his dangerous stunt up on the 66th floor of the Republic Plaza, there was no stopping of his determination although the rain came down hard and the wind blew strong on him. I held my breath and then made a $5 donation. By then he was rain-soaked but he still wanted to persevere and continue the second half of his stunt which was fortunately aborted due to the heavy rain. He then broke down in tears while expressing his appreciation to donors and celebrities for their hard work. The sucker me weeped with him and made a further $5 donation. I didn't donate because of the dangerous stunt he was performing, but rather, I admire and respect his willingness to volunteer such acts for his unfortunate patients in his Ren Ci Hospital. My point is, I will still donate if there ain't any entertaining stunts by him or MediaCorp Celebrities. They do not need to go to that extra mile of breaking a neck or spraining a leg to collect donations for the Charity Organisations, this is really uncalled for. Won't it be a better idea to just unveil the sad stories of patients and their family members to all Singaporeans, or make all the celebrities do volunteer work for the Hospital instead of risking their lives? We do not have hearts made of steel, we do feel...
On a naughty note, I would wish that TT Durai could start picking up stunts and skills, perhaps sky-diving with a brollie? Bury himself alive in the coffin for 5 hrs? or stuff himself with 10kg of gory animal parts to atone his sins? Haha..we name it and he does it, maybe then Singaporeans might forgive him? I mean MAYBE...not guaranteed... that depends on the intensity of his stunts too! *evil laff*
* Celebrating my last day at work! Yippie!
