Project Runway at All Saints Home (Season 2)

Lately, I have been assailed repeatedly by an insidious remark made during the debrief sessions at All Saints Home: We should have an All Saints Home volunteer’s tee shirt! Whenever this remark was made, half a dozen pair of eyes (sometimes it could be as many as a dozen) will fix their gaze upon me without fail. Hence, the laborious task of designing the tee shirt for All Saints Home had fallen automatically onto my laps.

Since there was never an All Saints Home tee shirt for the volunteers to begin with, the events committee has to resort to standardizing the color of the volunteers’ attires for any outdoor activities. So far, red seems to be the committee’s favorite color and until recently, white was endorsed as the color for our outing to the Singapore Flyers. Realizing that it will come to a point where the choice of colors will eventually run out for our activities, the volunteers proposed the idea of designing a tee shirt exclusively for our volunteering group.

The demands for the tee shirt design became stronger after we have won the tee shirt design competition at the ESN carnival. As akin to cornered animals when driven to desperation, I often have to rely on the most unsavory of tactics to wriggle myself out of this predicament. More than once, I simply brushed away this idea by counter-proposing an offer, which comes cross as frivolous at best.

Alas, the straw that eventually broke the camel’s back was finally unstrung last week, when Carolyn broached this topic to me again. Tired of throwing up half-baked excuses, I have capitulated to the fact that we do need a tee shirt uniquely designed for the All Saints Home volunteers.

At this juncture, I would like to urge all the volunteers to provide me with ideas for the tee shirt design. No matter how bizarre or seemingly ludicrous the ideas may be, all suggestions to the tee shirt design are welcomed. After all, this is a tee shirt designed to represent all the volunteers in All Saints Home, and your contribution to this design will make the entire affair more meaningful. Thus, I sincerely hope that you can contribute your ideas enthusiastically to the design of the All Saints Home tee shirt together. And with a stroke of luck, we might be wearing this tee shirt to the next outdoor event!
