This entry represents my gratitude to all those who have made Shan You Big Sing an amazing success...
It was a day of finding the peace within the chaos...
From the start, the weather wasn't exactly in a good mood.. Gloomy & rained in a few areas of Singapore.. Still fresh in my memory, I remembered that the offerings to Wei Tuo Pu Sa during Vesak@Orchard worked wonders...
Hence, this time round, this is a must on the checklist.. Incredibly, the weather held really well throughout the night, bringing with it cool breezes.. Thanks to Chingwi who prayed together with me to Wei Tuo Pu Sa to make the event a success..A big thank you to all the devas & sentient beings who helped in some ways..
Well.. of course the team of people I worked with was wonderful! Darryl was the clean-up in charge and he was superb.. Almost frequently, I would see him patrolling around checking the dustbins.. Credit had to be given to the volunteers under him as well which included Bernard, Ivan, Amos, Vincent and Andy..
Ticketing in charge was of course by the BFG..Big Friendly Giant Kah Hoe..Geez..I think he would kill me if he knew I called him by this.. his team included Chingwi, Cell, Hong Bros, Qisen and me!! Tearing tickets had never been any exciting and chaotic ever..
Admist the chaos, we had the crowd in order..(breath) everything in order despite the SIA gal's drama.... Everyone had great fun especially when we became Shan You Dancing Group.. Whatever ego and pride I had were all thrown to the wind allowing myself to indulge in the craziness with the YM team..
Through this event, I got to know Amos, Andy and Hong Seng better.. Geez.. never judge a book by it cover.. Thought they were quiet but well ...they were dynamic.. the essence of YM spirit..
Of course, Shan You staff were wonderful in answering our endless questions..We must be the most problematic volunteers ever.. but well too used to it..Thanks to their hard work and efforts in making this event a success too!!
Hmm.. my feelings should be more or less covered... To end it all.. doing volunteering work is always wonderful..There is the feeling of a peaceful touch to the pumping of the heart..
Be grateful to all around us for we are really indeed fortunate.. If you are into voluntary, do continue to contribute to society.. If you are not, please give it a shot..You'll not regret it..
