People of Purpose

I signed up the CSR event on 31st July to be a People of Purpose! We are bringing a group of pioneers (seniors) from the Lion Befrienders to the RWS Sea Aquarium. Thereafter proceed with lunch & performance. Prior to the event, I attend the briefing and was provided a tee shirt. 

We were split into groups and I was assigned to Team 1. Our group only have 3 and I am the only Chinese. The group of seniors assigned to us was from Chinatown and they speak Cantonese! Thank God I can still manage with simple Cantonese as previously I worked in Hong Kong hence basic conversations is ok for me. 

It was nice to see smiles on the senior face and they enjoyed the tour and lunch.  The whole event was from 9 to 2pm and we bide farewell to them with goodie bag and photo! 



Drama part of the event was one of the Aunty went missing and we couldn't find her. Hence the whole group couldn't proceed for lunch and become restless. We take the decision to leave someone(helper) behind to find her whole the rest proceed to the lunch location. Thank God, we found the Aunty seated at the Aquaries ballroom banquet table waiting for us!! 

The other drama was I was distributing the goodie bags and group photo. Didn't realize that we got one extra uncle who was in our group but never appear in group photo. So I got to be thick skin and ask the uncle to give me the photo so that one Aunty can have the group photo as the Aunty was upset..

Anyway all ended well and I head back to office at changi! Worked for few hours and then rush to our dept BBQ gathering at NSRCC. It was fun eating BBQ food cooked by a paid chef and lots of wine & beer to cheers through the night! A great gathering with my fun colleagues!
