Had a club event yesterday...called Season Of Joy or SOJ for short..alan & I spend quite some time planning for this event and the planning started way back in october.It was supposed to be a CIP kinda event where we decided that we'll go to an old folks' home and spread the xmas joy with them.The day started with a skit performed by the club as well as a magic show by Eugene. This was ok. Next, it was followed by a handicraft session where each com member will be attached to an elderly to make the handicraft with them.I guess Murphy's law is right, "What u expect won't happen will happen." However, due to miscommunication, we ended up doing the handicraft for them and NOT with them...This was then followed by a vegetarian dinner at a restaurant at Kallang Walk. I didn't tried the food so, I can't comment on the taste!!(haha!!).
The part that alan and I didn't expect was when we were about to set of to view the lights at Orchard Rd. We were told by a manager, that 1 elderly was NOT on the bus, i counted my bus and the number tallied..Then, we were told by the restaurant that they saw an old man walking off to the bus stop at about 5plus..In mind, my thoughts raced,"Huh??!!!How can we find him? Its like an hour ago since he left!.." This was followed by a frantic search conducted by some com members.However, it turned out that we set out with 49 pple from the HOme and the lady that was supposed to be with us was ACTUALLY at the home..Thanks for that SCARE!!!
Anyway, a lesson that I took home after talking with Yanming was " Being able to troubleshoot during events is better than a great planner!" Anyway, will fill u in again.Till then, take care!!
