Community Service 2011

During the September holidays this year, there was a community service program arranged for us by our CCA teachers and the church that GB is affiliated with. I actually had no idea of where we were going or what we were going to do that day. As it was a Saturday, i was a little grumpy when i woke up that morning at 6 am to get ready to go to the church to do our community service. I met some of my GB friends at Causeway Point and we made our way to the church, which is in Marsiling. After reaching the church, one of the adult volunteers there gave us some work to do, like arranging papers and preparing things for the community service. 

Later on, i came to know that it was the church's Family Day and they had arranged for the people who go to the church to go to MacRitchie Reservoir for some family activities there. I was very excited as i had never gone to MacRitchie Reservoir before. After reaching the place, we started off with a walk around the park there. There was alot of nature to see there. I also got three new friends, Grace, Ruth and Kai Le. Grace and Kai Le are studying in Qi Hua Primary School. Grace is P4 while Kai Le is P2. Ruth is only 4 years old.

We had created nicknames for each other. Grace was Grapes, Kai Le was Jackfruit, Ruth was Rambutan, i was Mango and my friend, Akshayapriya, was Panda. We really bonded together and became really good friends. Even though they were much younger than us, we didn't realise the age gap, and got on very well. At the end of the day, when we all had to go home, i was very sad to leave them, especially Ruth. She was so cute and adorable that i wanted to pinch her cheeks and carry her all day long. However, reality caught up with me and i had to leave her. I really enjoyed myself that day. That day will always remain etched in my heart. ( We also saw cute little monkeys there!!!!)
