Ytd went to hq to help angela with the thai delegates visit to hq. When i was about to reach hq it rained super heavily so i msg fishy to ask her where she is n if she has an umbrella. It turned out that she dint have a umbrella so i went to shelter here frm de mrt. Reached hq quite drenched den wilson drove us out for lunch. as usual, they shot arrows at mi n fishy for the rain.. but the rain was really very heavy until we couldnt really see de roads. den we joked abt later we order dry noodles den by the time the aunty serve us become soup noodles liao..n we came up wif new ways to cook fish. Lolz.. fishy muz be careful liao wor... hq is full of traps wor..
The rain stopped when we went back to hq so angela n me went to PS to buy food n drinks for de thai delegates. The drinks were quite heavy so we called guozhong for help but he ws still in sch... so we managed by ourselves. When we left ps, at the underpass dere the rain sounded quite heavy. When we reached the end of the underpass, we found out that de rain was super heavy.. so we waited there for a while. Den we saw other red cross ppl n exchanged umbrella with them but still got pretty drenched.

Been busy doing red cross stuff these few days, helping out at hq for the donations n going for AIDS memorial.
Have been answering calls at the call centre at hq to clarify the doubts of the public on donation issues, typing out the donation tins numbers and checking cheques. So dun be surprise if u call one day and i m the one picking up ur call. And i m proud to say that me, noel n chien cham have type at least 1000 donation tin numbers on saturday. It almost drove us crazy though n some mean ppl dun even wanna help us when we called for help. =(
AIDS Memorial this year was so different from the last time. This time, there was totally no atmosphere for the event. N we used lightsticks instead of candles which killed the atmosphere even more. Plus everything look so impromptu n fake. Shall not elaborate about it.
Also, I would really like to appeal to all out there to donate generously to red cross as the victims of the Myanmar and China disasters really need your help. The amount that you donate does not matter, what counts is the heart of giving.

Okies.. Updates…
30th MarchWent to school for 2 hours before reporting to HQ for Ex. Bobcat aka Ex. Meow Meow as quoted from ambrose sir n auntie guoying. FYI, they started meowing before the exercise n they haven stop meowing since then. Lolz. Ex. Bobcat was very fun. It’s a good experience also. Learnt a lot of things. I realise that u realy nid self discipline to go for DM exercises. Everything is so chaotic at the scene but although u may be panicky, u still nid to keep ur calmness n do wat u r suppose to do. N managing casualties is also another problem, they may not be cooperative but u still nid to handle them with understanding n compassion. Anyways, Ex. Bobcat is a simulation of a plane crash. So we had the opportunity to go to the airport’s runway n fire station for this exercise, how many can get this chance? N we had to take care of P3 casualties. We had more casualties den expected so everyone was kept super busy. It was really hectic coz the casualties came in in batches, which means there sre ard 10 plus ppl coming in at one time. So I was busying registering their details n the rest were busy treating them. After this experience, I feel so keen to go for project northstar but I cant coz it clashes with my GP mid years. Sian…
1st AprilLabour day, so juz slacked at home.
2nd AprilActually suppose to end school at 3.30 but ended at 5.30 instead coz I had physics SPA n make up chemistry prac. Met Nini at AMK hub after our lesson n took 135 to MP to meet the rest for cycling. Walked to marine cove to rent a bicycle n cycled to meet the rest. We cycled from marine cove to changi aiport runway there and back.. Great achievement for mi coz I haven been exercising a lot recently. Haha.. my legs actually felt wobbly after the exercise. But it was fun to cycle with so many red cross ppl. Hope to do it again. We finished cycling so late that I actually missed the last 135. So took 16 to HQ there to take 65 back home. Reached home at almost 1am.. got nagged at badly from my mum…
3rd AprilWoke up aching all over. Especially my legs.. I can still feel de pain now.. Headed to HQ in de aftn for the Supercamp preparations. Had to wait for 20 mins for 65 coz I missed the one before. Den got jammed along the way too. So was late for almost half an hour. Quite a fruitful meeting. We finish settling all the stuff dat we nid to settle. Yay! Lolz…
