as a grand event, of cos there r alot of help needed. & as a govt event, of cos as many volunteers needed as possible. heehee... since they need pple, of cos i wun give up such opportunity to be part of it ah! even is exam period, i still went ahead to volunteer for it. so on a very cold and freezing morning, i dragged myself out of my comfy bed and get ready to start my shift at 9am.
dreadful to wake up so early lor... but all was good at the event. i was assigned to mend the kid's registration and information booth. my task is to help the kids to stick the free tattoo stick-on and prepare wrist bands with their parents' mobile numbers. seeing all the lovely kids, all the hardwork and dreadful tinking of waking up so early r all gone! from 9am till 12.30pm, i juz worked non-stop. really non-stop & not a drop of water into my mouth cos the crowd juz continuously come and come. i din even noe is end of my shift until my fellow volunteer mate told me to stop work before i realised tat i had been standing up for 3 and half hrs non-stop with a fixed position tat led to my current pain ah. yes! imagine i bent over to help the kids who r abt the height of the table for the full 3 hrs plus. i only managed to straighten my body for a few mins and continue again. until when i really stand straight and walked to toilet to change out my uniform, tat was when i feel tat instant pain and aching ah. gosh... i din noe it was so jia lat. but it only got worse when i went home. now my thighs r aching too. imagine when i climbed up the stairs in my house, i had a weird posture. my backside r sticking out and legs rather wide open. whahaha... and i have a slight problem bending down to take tings. i got to slowly squat down. now only lying straight in bed is the best for me but i cannot ah! cos i need to mug for the friday paper. argh~!!! if tomolo it dun get well, i will need to stick tat smelly medicated plaster on my waist and thighs liao. hahaha...
well, if u ask me will i go for it again, my ans will be YES for sure! even with all these pain, i still tink is worth it. cos when i was doing my task, i juz forget everything on mind. no stress, no burden, no need to tink of the 101 tings tat i need to do. & somemore i am facing such lovely angels... CHILDREN! their smiles r so so innocent and adorable. their voices r so so lovely. each and every one of them r so polite. wait patiently in queue for their turn. i seriously had a great time having so much fun with them. some lovely moments to recall:
- at one go, i have 5 little hands placed in line nicely on the table for me to stick the tattoo on their hands.
- a little girl asked me "y do u have 3 tattoos on ur hands?" i answered "cause i need to show you guys how the tattoos will looked like. now you have 2 and so u can show to other people too!" so there she is running to her Mummy, "mummy, i have 2 tattoos, see!", showing her 2 small smally hands to her mummy. whahahaha...
- the kids' hands r so so small tat the tattoos r too big at times. heehee...
- & i have a sulky boy who was smiling with mouth widely open after i place a tattoo on his arm. hahaha...
too many to name... conclusion is tat kids r simply amazing... they can juz brighten up ur day without u even realising it and their smiles juz defeat every unhappy moments. & one more ting is tat i realise tat Aussie Daddys r so so wonderful. heehee... i wanna an "Ang Moh" Daddy for my kids next time ah! :D
