Just yesterday (Saturday), I volunteered, with a friend, to help out with our parent company's fund raising event.
This is the first time I'm doing it, other than the occasional Sundays where I go the the grassroot centre to help out with teaching small kids to read and write. It's kinda of fun to do this, I was supposed to help out with the Water Dunking event which was supposed to run from 2-3pm, but, I was busy with another, the Jumbo sale. It just amazed me that old stuffs donated by the staff were so sell-able, $2 or $3 clothings, stuff toys, bags, souvenirs, etc, were selling like hotcakes!
Now, come back to the Dunking event, this time, the organisers got the F1's SingTel's Grid girls to sit on the platform, with a water tank below them, one at a time. Well, they all got wet for the price of people paying $50 or more! The CxO were also up there, all wet, but, at a higher price, of course.
Well, I think the event was really nice, but, there's no free meals, only bottled water and a T-shirt, lucky, some of the volunteers gave us some free coupons to buy food, how nice! Anyway, I also got some souvenir pins (my favourite!) from the old stuffs for sale. Ok, still worth it.
