After I found out that a certain class has been buying newspapers off a garang guni man, I figured that this "recycling project" wasn't much for recycling really. I think most people, including me, are actively bringing newspapers to school only because it's a competition and you can earn class points from it. If it weren't for that, many people won't be collecting so actively.

Anyway, last Wednesday, after rushing up to the AVA room and finding out there was no English remedial that day, Carolyn and I went to my house so that we could go around collecting newspapers. It was quite a long bus ride home really.

When she walked into my room, she nearly went crazy looking at my Hana Kimi posters and DVDs and Soundtrack(I lent her the first DVD by the way), she ate a bit of food and we started off on our adventure.

First we went up and down my block, making plenty of stops back home to drop of the laods that we got. Then after finishing my block(which had PLENTY of newspaper by the way, and was the best block), we went over to block 7 and tried to get the newspaper but apparently this garang guni lady comes and collects. So after a while we gave up on that block and tried block 5, didn't get much reception either. So we made one last stop at block 4 but only visited like, 3 houses. But that's where we got a HUGE load. This guy gave us like, 4 plastic bags of newspapers, equivalent to the height of 2/3 a GR stack. From one guy. Gosh. But Carolyn had to go really soon. She helped put the newspapers neatly aside at a corner of my entrance hall. She also took some magazines and then I walked her down to the back gate so she could go home.

There were two whole stacks of newspapers + magazines and two big bags of clothes. I can't wait for my mum to come back so I can bring it all to school at one shot. I will see the GR girls' jaws drop. They are going down. Really down.
