how we help

the best part of being young unemployed graduate is, i can get away from those people who wander around public spaces looking for a pry to market their product, especially those from credit cards company. when they come near me, i'll just say 'i'm still studying' and wave them off and they quickly back away. oooh i like watching that. like i have the power to shut them up and not bother me. hihihi or else, i'll be listening to their ramblings for hours without me understanding any single word they're saying (i'm hopeless when it comes to economics). luckily i can still disguise as a student with my features ;p

but there was this one time when i was still a student when Unicef was doing their casual roadshow in Carrefour, i walked to their booth and very much hoping to be entertained by one of the members to explain on the cause. and so one of them did approach me friendly with a smile. he explained that we can help change lives of the less fortunate children across Malaysia by donating at least RM1 per day, on a monthly basis. i was doing a quick thinking 'RM1 per day wont do me any harm'. its like skipping on the teh o peng or five-piece pisang goreng which i took almost everyday. after a tiny pause, he asked 'where are you working?' and i said 'oh no. i'm still a student' and he went 'oh nevermind. maybe you can help once you start working :)' and he handed me one of the beautiful postcards of Unicef - with an honest smile. and i walked away dejected by the fact that i'm not eligible to help because i'm still a student. well, in a way i like their policy, that they do not force you into doing something you cannot afford. not that saving RM1 is not affordable for a student, its just that in any other person's mind, students need the money more than anyone else. our parents work hard to support our education. even Unicef is doing all the campaigns to help more children to get their right of education.
