All in a Day's Work

We had our AWesome SMU volunteers come down to Jalan Besar Towner RC for a little get together session, and I must admit that the turnout was very disheartening. Yilinn ended up speaking quite a bit, even though she had just undergone Dental Surgery that very morning for wisdom tooth extraction. Woo, yup, but the volunteers were enthusiastic and we achieved our goal of introducing our project to the volunteers. It was a very frank and fruitful two-way conversation between us and the volunteers, so I think it was a success in some ways. :)

Met up with Yao Shun at Toa Payoh to catch Weizhang's performance at the Indoor Stadium. The SOKA Youth Peace Culture Festival 2005 was a rather good performance, as it tapped into manpower from all the various departments in the organization, including the Chinese Orchestra, Choir, Gymnastics, Student, Lower and Upper Primary departments.

And guess what? When an announcement was made to invite someone on stage to give the opening address, you should have been there to catch my gaping, wide-eyed face, as I stared in disbelief when the lady seated to the left of me, across the aisle, rose to take her place at the microphone. Yup, we were seated in the VIP box (though not accorded VIP seats). :) It turned out to be an energy-packed performance, complete with human pyramids and marching bands.

Yock Song's leaving for Perth on his well deserved vacation on the 22nd. Sounds like fun Down Under! Whee...
