Christmas Fun

Have been very busy for the past week. (thus the lack of posts). Decided to attend the last Sunday service of the year at the Rock. Met my caregroup and received a free orange T-shirt from them. All of us had volunteered to help out in this event called "Christmas Fun".

Went to Far East to eat their famous chicken rice (that is according to the leader, apparently to RG and RI students) I had skipped breakfast earlier, so eating 2 plates of rice was no problem.

Our group was in charge of distributing water bottles to the other volunteers. At 5pm, we had to shift the !@#@#$#$ heavy barricades from MRT to seal off Orchard Road. Received many bruises on my shin, before the leader told us to return them back as we had used the wrong ones.

By 8 pm, a huge crowd had gathered along Orchard Road. Found out later that this event is meant to entertain old folks from various homes. Probably for the first and the last time, we sat on Orchard Road and rested while watching the various items.

The show ended by 10 pm. Had to ensure that no civilian climbed over the barricades while we cleared up the mess. I was pleasantly surprised when I met Mrs Chan Sam Neo, my GP teacher together with her friends (around the same age as her), while I was doing guard duty.

Left early and sadly could not join the group for a sleepover.
