EVS Marshal Validation Exercise - Bishan Stadium

Two tiring days are finally over. I switched from the second shift to the first shift as I wanted attend the annual event at Kong Meng San Phor Khak See Monastry. I know how bad the feeling is to miss this annual event.

The venue orientation was held a day before the event and we got to famaliarise ourselves with the place. We got our uniform and accreditation pass. The feeling of getting the long awaited uniform was great!

I was posted to the last zone. Just like Chingay 2010, I have to walk all the way to the first zone to take attendance and walk all the way to the last zone to carry out my duty. Well, it's alright. Good spot I guess. I get to watch the competitions and my position was near the finishing line. Great!

Reaching there at 6.30am sharp on my first day, I was made to walk back and forth a few times due to some conflicting instructions given. A good warm-up I guess. I was brought to walk through the field of play. It was rare chance.

The organisers were a little late. It took them a very long time to open the gate that I was in-charged of. My partners and I waited for quite some time till the event starts. The first race was the 10000m Women brisk-walk. There were only three participants.

As there were not any rules and restricction, I took pictures. It was a rainy day and things were rather slack. I even had time to take a pictures with my partners. It was coincidently that there was a sign board indicating the sponsor of this validation exercise. It was actually meant for the media to take picture for the atheletes with that as the background. It was however not a very good idea to put it near the exit.

Being bored, David went to look for food. He brought back three boxes of breakfast for himself, Yulina and me. I was a little surprised as we were told that lunch was provided instead of lunch. Oh well. Budget.

During our free time, the three of us had lots of chat. Yulina is working in the LTA while David works is a manager for a company that helps people to do checks. Recently, he just got a project to check the structure of airplanes. He uses x-ray and ultrasound to do that. Cool! I never knew that this diagnostic equipments can actually be used in the aerial industry too!

After we got the instructions to step-down, we went for a debrief. Kind of disappointed that there were not chairs prepared for us. The volunteers' spirits?

I accompanied Yulina to wait for her husband to drive her before walking to the roadside to wait for Auntie's Mui car. I was so hungry and was looking forward to a warm and nice lunch at Grandma House.

I reached at six plus on the second day. I think I was the first person to reach as Anthony was sitting lonely at Zone one, waiting for the volunteers to report to him. After taking my attendance, he asked me to hang around there. I chose to proceed to my position first as I felt rather awkward. I gave an excuse that I wanted to see the sunrise.

Anyway, I reached my position and prepare the chairs before my partner arrives. Yulina will be my only partner for the day as David was not able to make it.

We get to have some time to chats. I took more photos than the first day. We however did not have time to take a picture with that sign board.

It was a sunny day. The sun was shining very brightly. It took a while for the sun to rise a little higher to allow some shade to be produced at my position. The first event of the day was 20000m Men brisk-walk. There was a water station that provide water for the atheletes during the long walk. There were only four competitors this round. The girl that won the first place on the first day came to help the guy to warm-up. How nice. Both of them were from the same country.

There was one more person that came to chat with us too. He was a photographer. It was quite nice of him though the chat was not a lot.

The race on the second day was more happening. There were more "fast-paced" races and more events as compared to the first day.

There were more Singapore competitors too. Some people who thinks so highly of themselves are really disgusting. Some atheletes hopes to be served while some people holding some passes expect me to let them pass just because they are "big". Sometimes I really do not understand why is this job that I liked so much is looked down by so many people. Myopic I would say.

Well, my shift concluded with a debrief. Took a ride home on Yulina's husband's car as they were heading towards the expressway. Really thank her a lot so that I would not have to make the 30-min walk home under the scotching sun. That 5-min ride really helped my hungry stomach.

This two-day event has allowed me to see a lot of things. Though there was "nothing much", I have gained some knowledge. One of which would be the advancement of the equipments used for the competitions. The organisation on the field of play was quite good too. Last but not least, the type of people that I interacted with has showed me some new variety.

SCO Mothers' Day Concert: For Mum

I was called to work last minute as there was not enough usher. It was a chaotic event I would say.

Slacked a little and chatted with colleagues that came early. It was good reaching early so that I can take my time to prepare the necessary stuffs.

Upon the opening of doors, I really wish that I can split myself into another few more ushers. The patrons gushed in and I was almost the only person guiding them. There was already a lack of ushers yet the person who was supposed to help me was slacking. As most of the patrons were elderly, I had to bring them all the way to their seats as they do not understand the seating arrangement though their seat was stated on the tickets. I was literally running about.

There were instances when I was so busy directing patrons that I merely looked at their tickets and gave directions. Out of the blue, someone said that I am "sister zhen's" grandchild. Looking up, I saw my grandmother's friend. Shocked to them there and for recognising me. The second friend of grandmother introduced me to her friend.

While guiding the patrons, I was so glad that I can use mandarin to communicate. I felt more comfortable.

One of the guest-of-honour was MP Mr Seng Han Tong. I saw a guy, grandmother's friend, kept walking around and revolve around the MP. Typical.

I got an easy posting. Guess I can't be the VIP usher or flowergirl anymore. Guess it was due to the unreasonable GM.

There was a tough patron that I met. Seeing that he is taking pictures, I went up to him to inform him of the rule set. Instead of keeping his camera, he rebutted that he was just taking pictures of his friend. What an excellent excuse. I was amazed by how I explained myself in a very nice manner and he eventually kept his camera. I really did not expect that I could do that.

The performance was alright. The movie accompanied by live orchestra was superb. It made me cried. I quickly ran to the door behind to wipe away my tears. Glad that no one saw it. Embarassing I would say.

The event ended with a fast dispersal. As everybody was rushing out right after the event, I was worried that people may fall down. Together with the hardworking ushers, we completed the routine house-checks in the quickest time and we were released.

Food were taken out from the staff office for us. BT had given us ten minutes to eat during the second half of the event. I rejected. As I was hungry, the food just came at the right moment. It was some energy boost for me to travel home.

I was glad that there were some leftovers for me to bring home so that I can share some good food.

99 Days to Singapore 2010 YOG Countdown Celebration!

HongQuan and I did not manage to get the limited edition collar pins as we reached rather late. I rushed my way there as I was released late from class but HongQuan was later than me. So I roamed around the MRT station and searched for food while waiting.

It took us a while to find our way there as the traffic lights was located at the other end. We dared not enter initially as we did not see anyone entering. Taking up some courage, I went to ask one of the people on duty. After going through the metal detector, we finally step foot on the party ground.

It was a disappointment that the pins and game cards were all given out. It was however great that we managed to try on two games; fencing and basketball. We got a key holder from fencing and a biscuit from basketball. Though the gifts were small, we were very happy!

The show started with Jean Danker gathering the crowd. We managed to find a spot near the middle of the stage. It was really hot squeezing with that large crowd. There were dance and singing performances. I really like the dance by some NUS students. Nice costumes, nice movements and nice music.

Standing at the side of the red carpet, I managed to get some shots of the VIPs! Cool! HongQuan was a little unlucky to get lesser shots than I did. He has a better camera than me though.

Shifting forward with attempts to get better pictures, there was a photographer infront of us who was very tall! He totally blocked our views. I managed to get some shots as I raise my hand really high up in the air and did a angled-down view.

The volunteers' uniforms were revealed. Some of the tops were nice while some were not. I don't think I am having the nice ones. The cargo pants is however very nice!

After the ministers left, the performance continued. I stood right infront of Hady Mirza as he sang for the crowd. Wow. This was the second close-up interaction with him. The crowd behaved well as no one dares to step over the "lines".

Singing his third song, HongQuan and I went over to get ready to take shots of Electrico. There was a live telecast interview by either suria or vassamtham central of a kid and a volunteer right infront of the band. It took us some time to get a shot of the band with no interference.

Songs sang by them were alright. I do not really understand though. A bunch of students danced with craziness like they were clubbing. The whole party ended after the third song.

HongQuan and I walked around to take more pictures before leaving the area. Managed to take a silly photo and it made me feel so happy. As a guy was removing the car plate of the car on display, I borrowed the car plate from him. It was nice of him to volunteer to help us take a picture in that silly pose. Nice. I can't wait to see the photo.

Before proceeding to the MRT station, we took a look at the shop selling the YOG merchandises. It's good money. The items were so nice that I hope to own some of them! However, they are just way to expensive for me. Hope that volunteers get to have souvenirs too.

YOG Costume Measurement

On Labour Day, I went to have my measurements for the performance costume taken early in the morning. It was at PKCC again. When I first went there, it was seniors that brought my group of people there. Now, I brought junior there. How time flies.

The process was fast. After testing on the given size, we just have to submit the card with our name and identity number. It was the queue that dragged.

As I do not want to go home "just like that", I went to meet my friend, passing him his overdued birthday present. As I wanted to buy another birthday gift for another friend, I chose to meet at HDB Hub. What a coincident! Leo and Merly was there! Thank KS for volunteering to help me to take a picture with them! It is going to be such a memorable thing. It was such a great opportunity as I do not get to see them during Chingay. Just a pity that the picture was a little blurred due to the quality of my phone.

This is the first step towards YOG. I wonder what kind of experience will YOG gives me..

Jane's 21st Birthday Party at Kovan Melody

It took me a while to decide on whether to attend or not. There was no one that I know was invited and I do not know what present to give. On the contrary, Jane did not invite a lot of people and I am actually one of the people she invited. I chose not to attend in the morning as I was feeling very tired. After some rest, I felt alright so I went. It was rather late but I still get to eat tasty food. Yummy!

It was a little awkward as I do not know anybody there. Thanks Jane for being a good host, introduce me to someone who was same batch as me back in JC. Managed to chat a little but there was still some awkwardness. Well, it was the big day for the birthday girl so she shall have all the limelight for the day.

I rushed off from my house after wrapping the present and managed to reach the venue in thirty minutes. Fast. I drew the birthday tag on the bus in order to save time. I felt so smart for a moment.

After waiting for most of the people to arrive, it was time to sing the traditional birthday song and cut the cake! Yummy cake! The taste was just superb! Um-um! Thanks to Jane again for personally serving me a piece of the cake.

As there was nothing much to do after the cake-cutting session, I took my leave to end the awkwardness. I really want to thank Jane for being such a good host, trying to ease my awkwardness while entertaining other guests at the same time.

The Voyage of Spring

Coincident? The flower used for the programme was my favourite flower and I just watched the show on that flower before reporting for work. My mind was totally filled with thoughts about that flower.

The concert was basically a combined performance by the school's chinese orchestra and guzheng ensemble. Great effort from them. The performance however still have room for improvement.

The songs performed were rather weird. It was more kiddy and does not really suit the theme of the concert. I just found one song that suits the theme.

I once heard my ex-conductor told me about this school's chinese orchestra conductor. It was finally my chance to get to see this person that I once heard about.

Door one was my post. Still manageable for me. What I fear was just trouble created by another usher near my door. As my position was rather crucial, I cannot just move around. Asked help from 'that' particular usher yet got ignored as she was chatting and slacking away with some patrons. Anyway, I do not know why, but many people that day said that I looked fierce. Looking serious does not mean that I am fierce. Most of the patrons were cooperative but there were still some black sheeps among the white.

Took a train ride home together with the in-charge for the day and wished to be the in-charge after we were calculating the salary we earned that day. Hope I get to be in-charge again soon.
