today super duper tired ah!!! early in the morning at 5.30am i woke up to get ready to catch the 7am citycat so i can be on time for my volunteer work @ Queensland Multicultural Festival. heehee... my job is act to assist at the back stage area if there is anywhere tat needs help. however, the very last min arrangement was to ask me to go to another location to help out for the "Premier Photographic Awards" exhibit display. it was a "people's choice award which general public can vote for their fav photos out of all the photos as displayed. and the theme is "queensland people in places". whahaha... i had been repeating the same set of words to dunno how many pple lah... whenever pple approached, we got to tell them abt it. and to my surprise, aussie pple r really interested in all these lah. if u put these in spore roadside, i dun tink there would be pple willing to really listen to us telling them more abt it or they will ask "do i get to win anything when i vote?" & most prob they will be disappointed to hear the ans is "nope, only the winner of the award will get a prize, as general public, we juz vote." anyway, as i said before, volunteering in aussie is definitely a diff feeling as volunteering in spore. in watever u volunteer, u will feel tat u will have the due respect and well treated. i would not reckon this to be happening in all volunteery event in spore lah. whahaha...
from morning 8am till afternoon 2.30pm i had been standing and toking non stop lah. my thorat is so dry and i finished 4 bottles of mineral water liao. my legs r totally numb. no feel at all lah. whahaha... but it was kinda fun cos tis is the 1st time i am at tis festival and i guess it will be the last time too (next yr, tis period, i shld be in spore liao). anyway, today's event brought back fond memories and gave me some new inspiration.
as i was walking to my work area, i over heard tis father telling his sons and daughters "hey children, is not time for u guys to get cranky. u r here at a multicultural festival, i wanna u guys to be exposed to as much as possible. australia is not only abt australians, we r having more pple from other countries. australia is getting more multicultural therefore it is impt for u guys to noe the different cultures and lifestyle." i was kinda touched by these words lah. the father is really teaching the children abt the rite stuff. who said aussie only have racial discrimination? i understand to a certain extend, some aussie still have the very extreme tinking as to when they see some diff races or religion or cultures pple. but overall, multiculturalism is still very encouraging in aussie.
then fond memories r seen when i see pple toking into the walkie talkie. it reminds me on how me and my mentoring buddies act work so hard for every event tat we held (esp the outing cum telematch in NP) & how me and my tourism and leisure mgmt coursemates cooperate as one to do up a wonderful career events for NP students during our last yr of studies. i feel so good and wonderful whenever i am involved in all these events. i guess is in my blood ah... i juz LOVE and ADORE the feeling of organising events, planning events and running events. heehee... from mini scale, i hope to step up and reach for larger ones... can i? yes! i can! i will and i muz!
heehee... is time to study hard again... yep yep... assignment time again. haiz...
