Aniway, here goes!
The last i was on some event that i did for Sealsports. Some corporate event and Military reserves group. After all that i was back to work at my dad's. Working in an engineering firm is really not what i have to do for the rest of my life. Although, i have a dip in Mechatronic Engineering, but i dun really see myself doing it for long. Moreover, there are business studies involve in the work. Guess i`m more for the sky or out there roughing throu the terrains.. Haha!
After a whole wk at the office doing, planning and thinking! I had to plan for a family BBQ as well at my cousin's place for around 30 to 40 pax of family members and really really close family frens. Its not easy, especially when my mom said he bought the stuff already but in actual fact, she only got some quite expensive general items and more important stuff like the wire mess and the fire starter were waiting for the lord to provide.. damn.. quite a few hiccups here and there but was still okay in the end. Everyone had fun catching up with one another and there was plenty of food to go around even if another 30 pax of my family relatives come over. There was also a small birthday celebration. Really love to have family gathering like this, although many might say its very troublesome and all but at least i get to meet up with frens and relatives that i have not met for a really long time and sometimes its good to keep in contact.. Once a family, always a family! Its in the blood.
After the whole cleaning up and ordeals or work, comes the next event at the Botanic garden! Its my younger brother school's event for the charity by YMCA. YMCA is celebrating its 105 anniversary and to do it with a bang, they have got volunteers from YMCA befrienders and ITE college to help out as well as event coordinators to plan a 1000 beneficiaries concert at the botanic garden. It was a wonderful event and i have took lotsa pic. Sometimes we have seen advertise abt charity events for the homeless, needy, children with special needs and elderly who needs treatment. We might take it as its juz another advertisement or yet another charity propaganda. But from the charity event by YMCA, you can really see that these people really need our help. They need to be loved, taken cared for and sometimes juz a simply chat will make their days less painful and brighter! Children who are orphans juz want an elder sister or brother to guide them as they grow and not to see them fall prey into the dark side as robbers or some sexual item sold on the market. Being the health part of the human race, we sometimes forget that there are alot of the less fortunate people around us. We often complain that how miserable our lifes is and how we hated this and that.. I guess we shld really reflect on that and take a step back and look around us. We will surely learn much much more..
Following are some photos taken at the event. The guy in yellow on the wheelchair is my younger brother.
