I took a half day leave from work to help out at the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge. It was a good experience being a clothing crew. Helping to safe keep so many bags with valuables inside is definitely a huge responsibility. I was put on board the lorry being the only male in my group. This is so that the females can do the tagging of the bags, while I arrange the bags neatly on the shelves. It was really cramp and stuffy in the lorry.
When all the bags were loaded onto the lorry, another smaller lorry came to fetch me and the other volunteers to the end point of the race. To my surprise, the lorry which I was working on got lost along the way. It made it to the end point eventually, but there was already a long queue of runners waiting to collect their bags. I quickly got onto the lorry and distributed the bags quickly and systematically with the help of some other volunteers. On the bright side, although the lorry came in the latest, it was one of the first few to distribute all the bags back to the runners. After the event was over, Mou Wei and I ate our dinner provided by the organiser before taking a long walk to the train station and headed home.

Being my last day of work, my boss brought me to Kovan Hawker Centre to eat the famous wanton noodles. It was delicious but the portion was very small. I will surely miss the time spent working. However, school reopens next week and I have to be ready for the new semester.

Power boating all day long under the scorching sun is certainly not the best activity to be done on a precious weekend. Nevertheless, my friends and I did it. Early in the morning, we set off from Poly Marina which is located at West Coast Park, to travel all the way down to Raffles Marina, which is facing Malaysia. The journey took about an hour. I did most of the driving while Benjamin helped me with the navigation of the power boat.
We arrived at Raffles Marina just in time for lunch before going out to sea again to help out in the regatta. When the regatta ended, we headed back to Raffles Marina for a buffet before heading back to Poly Marina. At the end of the day, we realised that the sun was so hot that it penetrated the sun block we applied on our bodies. It looks like I am going to suffer the after effects of sunburn once again.

I did marketing with my father before going home. For lunch, my mother cooked delicious fur which she bought from Vietnam. In the afternoon, I went to church with Chester, Ron, and Tse Yun. Thereafter, Chester and I went to Vivo City where I got myself a pair of running shoes from Mizuno costing $189.00. The shoes were free because of a voucher. I also bought for Chester a pair of socks.
I left Vivo City for Great World City shortly after for a family dinner at Kui-shinbo. Dinner was fantastic and I had a great time catching up with my cousins. Just being random here, but I went to four cities today, namely – City Link, Great World City, Suntec City, and Vivo City.
