Whats new for the new year?

Some people go for vacation for the long weekend. My plans for a long vacation or across to Jb for that matter was cancelled due to alot of procrastination.

But well... Coming into new year was fun for me.

28 Dec

Mini retreat to Batam. Did shopping and body massage there. Cheap and refreshing.

Just clean retreat with a couple of friends. Quite amazing at how Batam has transformed from a sleazy front into more commercial port. Bought a couple of really bargained stuff.

29 Dec

Work. Clearing up stuff before going into a long wekend.

30 Dec

Volunteered for Eye ē City at Bras Basah. Doing Registration Counter. Quite fun. Made new friends... learned new stuff.

Ended at 10pm.

31 Dec 06 & 1 Jan 07

(31 Dec, am)

Hari Raya Haji. Did my prayer in the morning at the mosque. Volunteer again. This time at Al Huda Mosque for Korban.

Fun experience. Not that I'm inhumane. Its just knowing for fact that i'm doing it for my religion and contributing to society thru my volunteering. Especially so when you do it sincerely.... (Pahala banyak you.... InsyaAllah). Tired but worth every sweat and hardship. You think its easy? Actually kind of easylah... hehehe. but when you do it continuously for 2hrs straight... you'll feel the strain.

Last year was bout 40 odd sheeps. This year was 70 odd sheeps...

All ended by noon prayers (Zohor). Thereafter followed by a feast of freshly cooked Mutton Briyani. Yummy...

(31 Dec, pm)

Countdown? Nolah....

Went volunteering again. This time for the submission of photographs for the Eye ē City event. Ended till 1am on 1 Jan 07!

Reached home exhausted and tired... but enjoyed every minute of it...

1 Jan

Attended briefing for another volunteer event. The Inter Faith Dinner at Singapore Expo. Volunteered my services since a friend had called asking for more manpower for this event.

2 Jan

Volunteer at Inter Faith Dinner at Singapore Expo. Become Usher.

Just help lah... had fun along the way. But tired lah....

On reflection. i enjoyed spending the time helping people. At the same time learning new things and putting smiles onto the faces of those i helped.

My resolution is to be happy. i'm done, making other people happy.This time i owe it to myself to make me happy...

Yawn..... (its 2330... tom working)
