YOG

Haven't blogged about my volunteering experience at yog! Some photos to share:

This very cute baby is just so lovable! He would always laugh whenever his grandma sang "twinkle star" to him. He let me carry him, and I took the opportunity to get a picture. When his parents sat him in the big O, he kept rocking forward and backward and scaring all of us. Wonderful baby :) Lots of babies pass through the area everyday, they're such a joy to watch!


Yea this is the place I work at, and when there are times like this when there's not much crowd, we take photos!


That's the merly plushie they're selling over at the store. I'm so gonna get one for myself, when prices drop. I haven't been able to take photos with the mascots though, they're always surrounded by people when they come. Hopefully during my last two days of work I'll be able to get a picture!



Last friday some guy came around and told us there'll be fireworks at marina wherever. So after work we made our way to the merlion place (while getting lost on the way there, but we made it in time) and saw the most wonderful fireworks display I've ever seen. It sure wasn't as magnificent as the display at the opening ceremony, but I definitely had a very very good view. The photo above was taken with no zoom on my n93i. I was at the end of the platform, and the display happened right in front of me, above the surface of the water. It was loud, and smoky, and brilliant!!! :)

On sunday my parents came to the yog exhibition and we went off after my work to this restaurant that has "best ribs in america". Haha I forgot the name. There was this pretty koi garden right outside the restaurant, with big fat kois lazing around. We had 2 full slabs of ribs that were really delicious. Well worth the money, even if we didn't have the discount coupons.

My volunteering experience has been nice so far. I felt really proud when an egyptian official told me "Singapore is a beautiful city", and when this caucasian women came over to shake my hand and said "You volunteers are wonderful". Feels really good to know that we're appreciated. Food's great, and the other volunteers I'm working with are such fun people! We actually went to try out boxing, and I realise throwing punches is not as easy as it seems. Haha. I'm looking forward to the Universal Studios trip they're gonna give us as appreciation! :)
