Senior Citizen Fun Fair 18Nov06

Harlow folks... here are the photos taken..
Will pass the CD of all photos for sharing this sat, coz about 300 photos taken, how to upload all on Blog huh...
Thanks for everyone's effort and we are Great ASH volunteers!

Raining Love

How gentle is the rain
That falls softly on the meadow
Birds high up on the trees
Serenade the clouds with their melody

We just had a funfair on the 18th of November in All Saints Home. Well … there were lots of sweat, sun and fun!!! Thanks to Edmund and his wife for being the photographer and helping to sell the cheesy dogs. Thanks to Sook Ying and her very dedicated friends coming over to help us because we were short of manpower. Thanks to Carolyn for her 不食人间烟火 … haha. Those of you not here will have to be back to understand what is it about! And thanks to Kee Teck, Esther, Weini, Serhui and Szeli for helping out on the games booth. Ohya … and Meng Kwee and his two chubby kids!

Oh! How gentle is the rain
That falls softly on the meadow
Birds high up on the trees
Serenade the clouds with their melody

Oh! See there beyond the hill
The bright colors of the rainbow
Some magic from above
Made this day for us, just to fall in love

You'll hold me in your arms
And say once again you'll love me
And that your love is true
Everything will be just as wonderful

Prior to this funfair, Carolyn and company (minus me) actually combed part of Tampines to try to sell the tickets. And fortunately, the turnout was quite good. All the volunteers were put in charged of the games stall like basketball, darts etc. And prizes are mamee, biscuits and drinks. I brought one packet of mamee back to experiment boiling it but haven’t try yet … haha. (Ya, I know it’s not funny). Okay, now we shall wait for Edmund to post the pictures up. And to all those having exams and overseas, we love you! Just like this song. =)

Now, I belong to you
From this day until forever
Just love me tenderly
And I'll give to you every part of me

Oh! Don't ever make me cry
Through long lonely nights without us
Be always true to me
Keep this day in your heart eternally

You hold me in your arms
And say once again you love me
And that your love is true
Everything will be just as wonderful

但愿人长久

I feel this blog needs a little music to let people feel the "warmth" inside it. Haha. So decided to put songs inside. Will change it regularly and we can also take it as a way to learn new songs! =)

明月几时有
把酒问青天
不知天上宫阙
今夕是何年

我欲乘风归去
唯恐琼楼玉宇
高处不胜寒
起舞弄清影
何似在人间

转朱阁低绮户照无眠
不应有恨何事长向别时圆
人有悲欢离合月有阴晴圆缺
此事古难全
但愿人长久千里共婵娟

我欲乘风归去唯恐琼楼玉宇
高处不胜寒起舞弄清影何似在人间
转朱阁低绮户照无眠
不应有恨何事长向别时圆
人有悲欢离合月有阴晴圆缺
此事古难全
但愿人长久千里共婵娟
