Well have been waiting for 19th Dec for quite a while.

One of my Sunday last month was spent in the CC making simple handmade card which consists of 3 wishes from individual kids from lower income family in the community. In other words, many of them are actually familiar faces, they stay very near to me. They were selected as they are on public assistance, etc. For those who are wondering, the presents were sponsored by a company, and those cards I helped creating went to a Christmas tree in that company, and then they help fulfilled the wishes.

I was there to usher the kids and their parent to their seats, helping the kids in carrying the presents off the stage, well some of the presents is bigger than the kid, etc. Through my contribution is considered small, but having started from that card making & a bit of planning, quite happy that the event run quite smoothly.

And then came the moment, I am given the form. Only committee members are given the forms to the event. I have just signed up to volunteer after the tea session with MP early last month. So it is really a short period with the team, nothing is final but then I guess I got the nod to join the committee. Despite my busy work schedule in the coming months, I obliged. It seems to me a good way to give back to community. And I truly enjoyed doing it, so why not?

Just that i have to make a painful decision by dropping the volunteering in Banana Relay. Coz the date clashed. Painful painful decision.
