Two volunteer events in one day! S'been a glorious day! :D

I'm not gonna talk much about the first one since I won't have much positive comments. Frankly speaking, I nearly wanted to play hooky but I decided that was simply irresponsible. I would see it to the end and then quit. Something good did come out of it, anyway. I made friends with another volunteer (Xue Li) much younger than me. Told her I was 19 and got called "old". Oh my God, lah. I'm starting to feel older than I am.

I had some time alone before the next event so I dropped by Far East Plaza to have my favourite SourMilk frozen yoghurt. Sitting on the bench by myself, eating frozen yoghurt topped with Fruit Pebbles, and people-watching was so enjoyable.

I signed up as a volunteer for World Leadership Conference 2011 waaaay back in December 2010. It was done on a spur of the moment. I was typing my resume for my Communication Skills II module and while filling up the activities/interests section, realized that I haven't done any volunteer work in months and that my life was getting as stale as old bread. Passed the interview in January and the first volunteers' training was today.

After signing in, I sat next to a girl (Dong Ying) and we chatted right away and all the way till the start of the briefing. This is damn special because I'm a person of few words. Got awesome chemistry with her. :D There was a briefing about the upcoming WLC 2011 and some pre-conference events. Then, we got split up into groups for icebreaker games. Played some name games and the 10 Fingers/No Life game and we had a good laugh out of it. At the end of the session. I signed up to volunteer for the pre-conference events. More fun stuff to look forward to!

Spent the rest of the day with Dong Ying. Bought Gong Cha and had dinner at Din Tai Fung (小籠包!). Had a leisurely stroll to Dhoby Ghaut for some window shopping after dinner. We have quite a bit of interests and tastes and opinions in common! I think it is second (but definately far) to what I've with Esther.

I had a splitting headache and felt feverish since afternoon. By the time I reached home, my nose had started itching and I sneezed once. Popped 2 Panadol pills and all the symptoms went away for now. Hope it doesn't come 4 hours later (which would mean I need to take the stronger Panadol).

Dental appointment with my orthodontist tomorrow morning. Wonder if the dinner with the Wallacea Team is still on tomorrow. Haven't seen them since the Indonesia expedition last June. :/

CHARMAINE CHEONG.

I’m a somebody and a nobody. I’m rational and emotional. I’m critical but I’m non-judgemental.

I like my things categorized by types and chronologically. I like taking photos to preserve the moments of my life. I like dystopian literature. I like reading Wikipedia articles at random. I like travelling to foreign lands and seeing the world. I like long conversations over good food. I like pop and classical music. I like guitars. I like cats. I like writing random, mushy letters and notes to the people important to me. I have a whole long list of things that I like, but you’ve got to get to know me better to know them all.
