Never Judge a Book by It's covers

I was really very disappointed this afternoon after i sent out sms and received a reply from someone. It's not any love letter, but just an sms to my friends and relatives, asking if they are keen to help by donating to the China Earthquake victims. This is not the first time i'm doing all these, i did that during the last Tsunami. I should say there are many kind soul out there who is willing to help, regardless of amount. I don't ask people to give more, even if you are giving $1, it's help too.

The reply I got from that Groom-to-be was cold.. very cold i should say, His reply " DON'T WANT". @#$%^ I would rather he don't reply lor.. To him, it's man's pride that he hates to negotiate with the club where he is going to hold his wedding, He would rather pay more than to negotiate, cause that will make him lose his face! Come on lah, it's not as if you have a Brad Pitt face or Andy Lau's face.. just a common face where you can get it ANYWHERE. He don't look like one idiot who is so uncompassionate, yet he is behaving this way.. Okay, maybe his wedding is more important than anyone. I know donation is voluntarily and i'm not forcing anyone, but don't reply that way, i'll rather you tell me you have donated!

Don't want!~ ~~ this word have never been so strong and harsh before..

Anyway, i'm not losing hope because of an idiot, the response from my friends were pretty good, from $10 to $100, even my little nephews are coming out with $10/- he would rather forgo his Ben Ten watch.. so sweet of him! So I shall consolidate the money and go down to the china embassy or just Bank of china who is the authourised collection centre to give the money. Will get the receipt so that people who donated, know that the money is in good hand.

I MAY NOT BE RICH, I MAYBE IN NEEDS OF MONEY, BUT I WILL NOT MAKE USE OF OTHERS TO GET THIS MONEY.

I could have just do it by myself, bring down the money, even if it's just $10, but i thought since i'm going, why not get more and bring it down for the rest too. Let's do something meaningful, let's just forgo an expensive lunch and help the needy.
