Asking for PTUM donation

Today is a Saturday, well, a nice day like this, i suppose to be lying on the bed and have a nice sleep.Anyhow,No ELECTRICITY!!omg, u couldnt emagine how terrible izit. Super hot man!!and so i had to make myself walk to the library , at least inside is airconditioned...
My friend went to the morning market and find sponsers and donation for PTUM( PESTA TANGLUNG UM).I hd been to the donation few weeks ago. Its wasnt an easier job which it seem like easy.Im going to talk about it.
PTUM is actually a celebration for the Mooncake festival which organised by student ourself,and so we had to find the sponsers and donation for all programme ourself.
Its really very hard to ask someone for donation as they dont understand whats our purpose for organising all this stuff. Even thought there are so much ppl in the market, its so hard to start asking for donation. We haven managed to finish our sentences: "Good morning miss...", ppl already walk away.Some even scolded us as they thought we all were cheaters.We just have an envelope to keep the money, and they all thought we might spent the money on ourself. Me and pei pei, my partner was scolded by the ppl because they said we had blocked their business in the market.
Even we are like negligible to them, we have to "thicken our face" and ask again.For the 1st time, i spoke cantonese for the whole morning asking for donation.In Kl most of the "aunties" in the market, they dont understand mandarin, and i hd to use my veryBroken cantonese to explain the purpose we need the money,when will our event start and whats about PTUM. Geng leh...summore got aunty teach and correct my cantonese.
Until about 11 smth, me and pei pei was really tired.There are so many nice food selling but we canot buy, if not they wll think that we get the donation and spent for our own purpose.
FINALLY, i get the donation of Rm 121 for that morning. Thanks alot to Pei Pei ...she really help me alot in teaching me how to speak and how to ask for donation.
BTW, On 5Oct, rmb to catch up radio stesen 988 and 304"Jia Yu" .I might be on tv...haha.....Feel free to join us that day? all ppl are welcomed!
