16th Feb 2012, Saturday
I volunteered in an event organised by Ultimate Projects. It was held at Gardens By The Bay.
Project Spring Blossoms 春到花开 - Walk With The Elderly
Asked Komz and cousin, Patricia along and they said yes! Met Eileen and her brother, Desmond along the way, then Patricia. Reached around 1pm. There were a total of around 140 volunteers and elderly.
The day we acted like tourists.
After a short wait, it was grouping time!
The group 10!
Julius (group leader), Eileen, me, Ivan, Jo (couple), Rachel, Yi Kai, Emily (mother & son)
After introducing and warming up, we waited for the elderly to reach. Due to a miscommunication, we waited quite long for our group's elderly to arrive.
The elderly I'm in charge of! She's 72!
Short of 1 elderly here that was in our group.
After the exploring of both dorms, it was 'lou hei' time!
Simple dinner was provided after that, and the buses came to fetch the elderly at around 7pm.
More photos after the elderly went off.
Group 10 again at the end of the day

I went back to the Cloud Forest after that with Eileen, Desmond and Patricia after that as Patricia has yet to explore the place as the elderly that she was in charged of, doesn't want to walk anymore.
It was evening by then, and there was awesome light effects!
Took the train to Jurong after that for late dinner, at Jcube. Had Old Town.
Took a train back after dropping cousin at the interchange for her bus. Very tiring yet satisfying day! Shall wait for the update of the next event.
