11/11 and 12/11 has been a tiring yet meaningful days for me as i've been a voluntary worker at "Far East Flora" at thomson that its a brand new experience for me. Haha. Anyway, there is a event known as "World Kindness Day" on 13/11 which is today. Whats this event? Its actually a day to show your kindness and appreciation to someone you love and respect by buying a small gift for them. So the gift that we're working on is yellow flowers, simple yet beautiful. We'll be selling as a bundle, a bundle of 10 flowers each but i'm not sure of the price of each bundle. So what we've done for these two days were to wrap those flowers into tens and to paste the "World Kindness Day" sticker onto each stalk of flowers. Honestly, its a very tiring job as it really require alot of energy and willpower as there were 24000 stalks in total. There was a total of 17 voluntary workers in total including myself and we were broke into two groups, 8 people and 9 people respectively. Most of the voluntary workers are still students, mostly Sec 3 students from Henderson Secondary. Most of them are diligent and friendly so i do enjoy working with those students. For only two days, some of us has became good friends naturally although we do not know each other in the past. Though it has been only shortly two days, i've experienced tolerance, endurance and teamwork from these days and its very meaningful and memorable.
The working hour was 8am to 6pm and there is a lunch break a1 1pm, Far East Flora provide lunch for us which is very kind of them. Haha.
Last but not least, i've to thank the people who recommended this job to me, Andy and Jun Lin.
Thank you for making my life more meaningful by allowing me to show my kindness to the world. Haha.
Today is the "World Kindness Day". I would like to wish all people to be healthy, happy, to be optimistic in life, do not be discouraged after a setback and wish all dreams will come true. :)
