Volunteer @ Sri Lankan High Commissioner in aid of the Tsunami disaster

Today, I went over to the Sri Lankan High Commissioner @ Goldhill Plaza near Novena with Fione and Kewei to volunteer in packing of relief items for the Sri Lankan people in aid of the Tsunami disaster... Was thinking of doing some good deed before I start school ...

I could still remember the day when the earthquake at Bandar Aceh happened... Me and my relatives were having a camping trip over at East Coast Park... Little did we expect that the earthquake at the ocean bed would cause tsunamis which had affected areas in Thailand, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Maldives, etc... If the tsunami had really hit Singapore, I guess that you will never see me writing this entry... *Touch wood though*...

Anyway, we reached there at about 9.40am... We were supposed to meet Manman, Fione's best friend from YJC, at Novena but since she was late, we went ahead first... Went around the Goldhill Plaza to look for the lobby, only to realise that we had walked a big round... There were only a few volunteers when we arrived and there were lots of stacks of plastic bags filled with clothes... We had to separate those into 3 parts; men, ladies and kids... It was very tiring and it was soon before I started sneezing (I'm very allergic to dust and the smell of the mothballs)... Soon, more and more people came to help and by then, I really couldn't stand it any longer... My mucus kept flowing, my nose kept sneezing, I kept perspiring and my head got more giddy... Anyway, we stopped at around 12.10 noon since I really couldn't take it any longer and both me and Kewei were getting hungry... We then went off to United Square to have our lunch after seeing that there were a lot of people helping out too...

Had our brunch (breakfast + lunch for me) at McDonalds @ United Square... We then went around the mall and both me and Fione tried the car racing games... Lost both games to Fione... *Gosh! Once I get my licence, don't ever sit in my car... Haha*... Anyway, we had to go back to Goldhill Plaza to return the penknife... By then we saw a sign saying, 'NO CLOTHES please'... Indeed there were lots of clothes... I think what they need most are medications and food...

We then went to Orchard... Walked around and we even went to the Library @ Orchard to sleep... *Haha*... I finally went home at about 5.35pm and reached home at 6.10pm...

it's .NaDiaH eRNiYaNTi again at [8:22 PM]
