My $2 Pledge

my mom suddenly said to me in an urgent manner, “look! he’s going to drink that!” i turned and saw that he had fished out an item from the trash can. his prize catch? a transparent cup that was still half filled with a white-colored drink. and sure enough, he slurped it all down. can you imagine that?

Why pay hundreds and thousands of dollars to join gyms, clubs and slimming centres? Ironical we should pay $$$ to lose weight when half the world is being starved for want of food!! In our very own island, the elderly poor is scavenging for food as witnessed by Veron and her mother.

I have since started destination walking. By that I mean, instead of taking the bus to my office which is about 2 bus stops away, I walk, hence saving 90 cents on bus fare or 74 cents if you have an ez link card. Helps me to exercise, lose weight and the $$ saved could go to the needy! I try to avoid taking taxis by setting out earlier for my destination. If I have too many things to carry, I put them in a bag with rollers. If you complain the sun is too warm, there is always the umbrella for sun and rain. The transport system here is just great!

Try walking! Chances are you could also pick up $$$ on the streets, and donate them to the needy!
