Amy_Licious: Voluntary Work

We have been actively organizing the "Yuan Xiao" event for the old folks who are at Bukit Merah... Sunday was the day... my whole group of jie meis were all present ^^ hee hee rarely we have full ateendance.... Was really happy that the event was a success.. as Sat nite.. our Jasmine ger (the core organiser) was still worrying about in sufficient of volunteers.. today 24 volunteers VS 200 old folks... lol.. fortunately... this time round, all the volunteers are very auto and helpful.. all tried their best and co-operate with one another.. tat really helped alot..... we started off with setting up of the tables and chairs at the pavilion next to blk 105.. haha.. those ppl eat dinner those tables n chairs.. then followed by urshering of old folks to their respective table... some volunteers were assisgned as servers, some are assigned to scoop the buffet food into the plates.. Very grateful to our core organisers Jasmine and Adrain.. who did the main planning and sourcing for sponsors of food and goodie bags... oso took the courage to do the MC.... esp Jasmine... the event wun be sucessful without the 2 of u... : ) Hmm old folks were very frendly.. we served them drinks, main course and dessert.. followed by distributing of goodie bags.... oso would like to thanks Sarah's home management lor.. who helped up with the games.. and communicating with the old folks.. LOL...

Been so long since we last really did such a event.. very meaningful i must say.. is like contribute back to the society... and yet at the same time, it really enhanced bonding between friends.... get to koe more frens oso... kinda happy and got some sense of satisfaction.. as seeing those old folks, will make us realised that How fortunate we are... cos e.g. I saw an indian old man who insisted n asked us to give him a plate to eat.. but the event was only for chinese cos is kinda celebrating last day of CNY, but the indian ah pek just kept pleasing them.. said just a plate of bee hoon.. tat made me think tat although I am nt rich.. but at least my life is better than him..

Hmm now me and Wendy aiming to go back there once a month to do some smaller scale voluntary work,. like cleaning of some of their houses etc.. LOL.. less stressful I supposed.. cos to plan such a big scale event, requires heaps of co-ordination and time... well although it will be a smaller scale.. but volunteers are welcome lor.. to help to clean their home.. =x
