Mid Autumn Festival 22 Sept 2007

A big THANK YOU to all who have helped out in our Mid Autumn Festival celebration yesterday. It was a GREAT SUCCESS!! Standing ovation for the Committee Chairman, Wei Zhong, all committee members and volunteers.

Despite the fact that there were some last minute changes (Sincere apologies to our ASH director who came up with the wonderful script which we did not manage to put to use this round), we managed to meet the objectives we had earlier set for the event:

1. Bring joy and laughter to the old folks through the celebrations

2. Ensure that all who were present at the celebration left with a gift

Wheeling gOOd Fun-Tampines GRC Racial Harmony 2007

hi guys, last Sunday, 29 July, some of our volunteers Meng Kwee, Carolyn, Kee Teck, Jane and I went back to ASHome to help wheeled some of the old folks to participate in the closing ceremony for Tampines GRC Racial Harmony 2007. We reached ASHome at around 4 30pm and helped the nurses to get the old folks to board the bus.

We then arrived at the Tampines park (cant remember the name of the park, the one near the bus interchange) for dinner and some light warm-up exercises as the public participants and us had to walk from the park to Tampines sport stadium. For us, our task is to wheel the old folks to the stadium. The walk is about 1.5km from the park to the stadium and took us about half an hour to get there. Lucky for us, the weather is not very hot and it’s a nice stroll for the old folks I guess.

Meng Kwee and Jane helping out with feeding...


Once we reached the stadium, the old folks get a goodie bag each with a bottle of NEWater, a few packs of tibits and a small towel inside it. And of cause, the old folks get the most expensive seats, it’s the FIRST ROW!!!

CHEERIOS...



The main stage...

The next couple of the year after Carolyn and… u guys know who ar…


Very soon, the programme kicks off with special guest MP Mah Bow Tan cycling into the stadium. Some of the highlights for that night were performances from various community clubs and schools like Harley Davidson motorbike club, line dancing, Malay dancing, Chinese dancing, Japanese drum,…

For the finale, there was a little firework display.
Carolyn, Jane, nurses and our dear old folks...













By then, its late and the old folks are getting tired. ...HOME SWEET HOME…
PS: Those who have any more pics on their hp or any more comments... feel free to add on... and SORRY for some very bur pics... ANYWAY ...
THE END =)
