this is one of the most fun red cross events i have been to. haha.
the day started out as by me being late. as usual. haha. so fairfield RCY 9 cadets proceeded to lengkee community centre. there were about like diff 15 RCY schools there. we put our bags in a room and then went for briefing on some steps. in front of us was this old man. A VERY FIT OLD MAN. he was playing basketball. i admit, he is a MUCH MUCH better basketballer than me. haha
i then realised that fairfield was doing chaperoning. so yuliang was the I/C. Rahoul was the SIGNBOARD HOLDER. Fion and Chanel were the FIRST AIDERS. we then learnt that 8 elderly centres were coming. each centre of about 42 old folks. gosh. so fairfield was put in charge of TOA PAYOH CENTRE. haha. the elderly folks were so excited. but i pity some of them. some were handicapped.
among the five of us. me huiling victoria eunice n amanda were deciding which one of us would be the one taking care of the two toa payoh bowling representative. with everybody being so undecisive, i took the intiative and volunteered myself. so i entered the hall to take the two reps to the basketball court for their bowling competition.
an old lady and old man volunteered themselves. haha. these two people were excited and friendly. and they spoke chinese. it was INCREDIBLY HARD for me to communicate with them cause my chinese was freakingly lousy. but stil i managed to communicate with them. they were both interactive folks. haha. as the competition started they told me that it was their first time playin bowling. haha. they bowled well. especially the old man. he was like striking everytime. haha. the lady wasn't that good. but they still entered the top4!!! haha. they were overjoyed and so was i. (for no reason. haha). as we proceeded to the backstage. the old folks started to feel nervous. the top4 teams were from toa payoh, henderson and meililng and (i can't remember). so the first finals round was toa payoh and henderson. i felt so EXTRA-DED. as the old folks played i encouraged them in chinese. my chinese vocab is very very limited. haha. the toa payoh old lady and old man were so good! they were knocking down all ten pins! haha. all becuase of me. :p. haha. i brought them back to their seats in the hall. soon, the results were announced. toa payoh won! we won! haha. then there was the giving out of bowling kits and goodie bags to the individual centres. yuliang n i went up on the stage with the old folks to collect it. i felt so EXTRA again. haha. then it was lunch time. gosh. the food was so oily and soft. yuck
then it was like time to go home. the old folks each had to carry home two goodie bags and it was SO HEAVY. i pity the old folks. it was very hard for them to board the bus. i had to carry 6 heavy goodie bags while the others help the old folks to board the bus. some old folks were fighting on theus. fighting! and quarreling too. we waved them off. and then our debrief. after debrief we collected our bags. mr firhad brought us to the mrt station but i walked to church. haha. estimated distance was from redhill mrt to queenstown mrt. u may think i'm crazy. but i'm NOT.
at church we rehearsed our skits. then i helped out in sunday sch then attended the confirmation service then went to sell some stuff to raise us$800 for our cambodia mission trip.
