the old and new.

There was a fund-raising flea market held at Simei Care Centre. Jinyu,qianthing & I were the only ones from our class who are helping out as volunteers in the afternoon shifts. Coincidentally, we sat on the same train to Simei. It was a 3 minutes walk to the Care Centre from the mrt. The 3 of us were assigned different booths. I was put in the booth selling army and navy bags,badges,caps and pins. They are mainly 2nd hand items but there are a couple of new ones. Jinyu was helping in the flowers booth. And qianthing was in the toy booth. We were not separated, in fact these 3 booths are actually joined together,so it seems that we are "helping" in the same area.

I can't say it was fun,but it was a good experience attending to customers. We spent our afternoon here from 1.40pm-5.15pm. In the midst of browsing through the badges because i was too bored and there were no customers, something caught my attention and i bought it without much hesitation.

It's an old IJ badge, i presumed it belongs to an ex-IJ girl who donated her badge to this charity flea market. It looks really antique, the colour tells it's age. It got me fascinated cause i hadn't seen an old IJ badge other than my school badge. It's unique, i guess. And it only cost $1!! Besides that, i also bought Japan and Finland pins. The both of them were only $1 too. Well,I didn't expect myself to buy items from the booth which i was helping at. Jinyu bought a Winnie the pooh soft toy for $2 and qianthing got cakes.
