Three years ago, sometime in the morning, I decided donate some money to charity through a raffle ticket at school. There must've been at least 20 other sign ups so I wasn't expecting anything; I didn't even know what the prize was.
Then, at the end of school, one of the girls came up to me and said. "Hey, here's your prize." I was thinking "
Prize? I haven't entered anything..." I noticed she was carrying a huge white tiger (Must've been about 5 ft in height). "Yeah, you entered that raffle, remember?" Being exhausted at the end of the day, I forgot that I even entered it. She slowly handed it to me, and I reluctantly took it. Seeing me with this babyish soft toy in the middle of school, surrounded by students much older than me, it was quite embarrassing.
It didn't end there, though. Oh no. Wanting to please my younger sister, I still had the problem of lugging it home. I live at least 20 minutes walking distance away from my home. On top of the students from our school, I still had to pass most of the pupils from two other schools carrying this big creature. Pretty much everyone was gawking at me.
I did find it cute how the infants wanted to stroke it, though. It was such a relief when I finally got home. The things I do to to please people...
Two months later, we had to give it to charity because it took up too much space. My sister was sad to see it go; and I was a bit sorry to see it leave too because I did grow some sort of attachment to it but heh, I don't really miss it.
