Before I start my post about my awfully good Sunday, I'd like to ask you (yeah, you, dear reader) to help my friends complete a quick survey. They will be the Singapore delegates at the World Leadership Conference in July, and they are doing this public consultation as part of their research for the national policy paper.
Click here to do the survey!
10 questions. All multiple choice questions. It won't take a minute. Pretty please, and thank you very much! Your help will be greatly appreciated! (:
And no, it has nothing to do with the upcoming general elections. (One uncle actually asked me this while we were conducting the surveys at the eco-carnival.)
Now I shall officially begin my entry. The eco-carnival was organized by the youth clubs of Ang Mo Kio GRC and Yio Chu Kang SMC, and is held in conjunction with World Water Day and PAYM 40th Anniversary. ECO Singapore has a booth there to introduce the conference to the public.
When I arrived at the meeting point, I was alone. Dong Ying couldn't come 'cos she was down with a fever. Didn't see the other volunteers either. One of the delegates, Meng Yi, was supposed to pick us up but he was running late. Well, he arrived more than 30 minutes later in a cab and I hopped on so we could get to Anchorvale Community Centre. He owes me lunch to make up for the long wait lol.
Met the other Singapore delegates there, Ke Jia, Keith, Susan, and Yean Yang. There was one more volunteer, Harry. And they are suuuuuuuuper nice people. (: Really enjoyed myself chatting and joking with them! Went around asking people to do the surveys, which turned out to be an interesting experience. Met people from various careers and with different opinions. I would occasionally joke with them too. Talking to strangers is fun!
I met an old friend at the carnival too! I bumped into Keshia, who was a fellow Eco-Youth Mentor in the Dunk It at National Day Parade 2009, another one of ECO Singapore's programmes! She went MIA halfway through so I never got the chance to get her contact info. It's a blessing that I finally get to see her again. I recognized her immediately and went up to her. Had a good chat before getting back to work. And I finally got her contact details. :D
The trip home was amusing. We placed the props and survey stuff into the back of Yean Yang's car and then squeezed into the back. Got a lift to Seng Kang MRT and took the train home. Y'know, I've been living in Sembawang since 2000 and this is the first time I've a friend who I can go home with! Like, how many people do you know of who stays in Sembawang? Lol.
P.S. I'm seriously awed. I'm aware that I often use double entendres (a phrase with meanings that can taken either way, sometimes one of which can be dirty and suggestive) in my written and spoken language. I'd do it unconsciously, but realise it immediately after using it. Yet, twice, I've been outwitted by friends from that school. Not only did they saw through my words, they actually came up with a witty remark before I even realise it myself! Not even my close friends saw through my double entendres! Their minds are like steel traps. I wonder if all the students in that school are similar, not that I would be surprised if they are. Ok, I'm stereotyping now. Haha.
P.P.S. Must memorise music taugeys tomorrow! Must practise those 3 songs before the next lesson argghhhh!
P.P.P.S. I finally have the photos from the first WLC volunteer training session on 12 March!
Mostly taken while waiting for the rest of the volunteers to arrive. Had a hard time finding GRID New Media Studios at *Scape because it was such a nondescript room on the outside!
Yay. I love today. Awesome day. (:
