Volunteering can be an exciting, growing, and enjoyable experience. It is truly gratifying to practice one’s ideal, see benefits, serve a cause, work with people, and know one had a hand in them. – Harriet Naylor

Merry Christmas to everyone.
I started off the day by going to church with my family. Thereafter, we headed to grandma’s house for a Christmas party. The food was good and at the end of the party there was a gift exchange. Thanks for all the presents.
Dinner was at Mellissa’s house. My cell group is so honoured to have Fu Wei and Mellissa to cook dinner for all of us. The food was great and pretty unique. We had bread and mushroom soup for the appetiser, pork chop and veggie for the main course, biscuits and cheese for the side dish, and ice cream with strawberries and vitagen for the dessert.
After dinner, we sat on the floor and played Pictionary. It was a game full of laughter and frustration at times. I guess everyone had a wonderful night. Luckily for us, we managed to catch the last train home.

Early in the morning, I met up with my friends to go to the chalet. We did nothing much in the morning other than talking. After lunch, we headed to Turf City to play paintball. However, our hopes of playing paintball were dashed when it started to rain. We waited for the rain to stop but to no avail, so we went back to the chalet to talk before having dinner.
Night time was a blast. We had karaoke session for about two hours and it was fun. Some of my friends got kind of high too. After that, I headed home because I forgotten to bring my toothbrush.

Blessed Christmas to all my loved ones.
It is finally the time of the year again. Christmas marks the birth of Jesus Christ, who came into this world to be born as a baby in a manger. He came not only to heal the sick, seek the lost, but to bring salvation into this sinful world. Despite all the celebrations going on, we must always remember the true significance of this very special day.
To everyone who gave me cards and presents, thank you for everything. No matter how big or small your present is, they are all sincerely appreciated. It is truly the thought that counts.

When we wake up in the morning, we have two simple choices. Go back to sleep and dream, or wake up and chase those dreams. The choice is ours.

Time is like a river. You cannot touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again. Therefore, enjoy every moment of life.

The happiest people do not necessarily have the best things. They simply appreciate the things they have.

I had a great time exercising after a tiring week at work.
19.12.2009, Saturday
Breakfast with my parents was a great time for bonding. We headed to East Coast Park for a walk shortly after before going home for lunch. In the afternoon, I headed down to Republic of Singapore Yacht Club to teach sailing with Benjamin. I gained some valuable experience since it was my first time teaching at a club.
At night, I attended Christmas Chill, a musical put up by some of my friends. I am glad to see many of my friends maturing and putting off such stunning performances throughout the night.

Christmas service at church was fantastic. My aunt attended the service for the first time and she found it pretty good. Lunch was with my aunt and my cousins at Kallang Leisurepark food court. Thereafter, I met up with my sister to do some shopping at Suntec City till evening.

Breakfast in the morning with Daryl was great. I had a good talk with him. Thereafter, I went to bowl, gym, and run. What a tiring day.
Evening was much more interesting. Shopping, shopping, shopping.
12.12.2009, Saturday
I spent the entire day shopping in Malaysia with my family.

This morning I attended church service before going for lunch with my family. Lunch was at a unique restaurant called Prima Tower Revolving Restaurant. The restaurant revolves while you eat which is pretty cool. The scenic view was pleasurable and the food was fantastic. There will be family dinner at my grandma’s house in the evening.

First day of the race expo was not too good because many of my volunteers did not come for the morning shift. Afternoon shift was much better as my group almost had full attendance.
04.12.2009, Friday
Things went on well at the race expo despite many heavy responsibilities given to me. For the night shift, all the counter crew leaders went home except for me, leaving me in charge of 40 counters. Nevertheless, the job was still manageable with the help of the other volunteers.
05.12.2009, Saturday
Last day of the race expo was great. I was allowed to leave early despite being a leader because of my duties on the race day. I went home to rest before meeting up with my friends to go to the chalet to have some fun before the race day.

If you cannot join the event, be part of the event.
Volunteering for Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2009 was not really fun, but it is the experience gained and getting to know new people that made it enjoyable. Being the race day and also the last day of volunteering, my friends and I were deployed to do registration for the massage tent. I have to admit that it was a very boring job.
We reported at the volunteer’s tent at midnight, having come from the chalet which is at Changi. After collecting our volunteer entitlements, we headed to McDonald’s to catch some sleep before reporting for duty. Just before our duty started, we were lucky enough to catch the first runner completing the marathon and we went to cheer him on. After our duty was done, some of us went to eat at Andersen’s Ice Cream before heading home.
