60 vs 16: Life Milestone
Cheong Siu Fun:
20 years ago, I had a conversation with Ms. Ivy Koh, a close neighbor. I was wondering, why she is always so busy. She shared with me about WEC. With my inquisitiveness, I used to ask too many questions, hence she suggested I join her. That is the beginning of my new voluntary journey.
The Chairperson then was Ms. Emily Tan. It was the beginning of my new life. I learnt a lot. It was turning my life around. I was involved and engaged with all the members and enjoyed all the activities then. Bonding and doing things together were great fun.
I also learnt how to manage and deal with my personal problems. With friends around, I can share my problems and seek their views too. I become more social and more connected.
Breaking my stage fright phobia, by participating in dancing and performances. It was a great breakthrough. I became more expressive and forward-going. I participated in major National Events, like Chingay.
Emtech Wellness Activity - Running a daily "health clinic" whereby residents of Queenstown Que for their turn to use this machine (everyone is allowed to use it for 30mins). This activity gives me the opportunity to lead and connect with the residents. We also organized yearly festive activities for them too. This is my PET Project.
Today, I am also very proud - imparting my passion and value in serving the community unconditionally to my daughter. She has since been part of WEC too. For me, I will continue to do what I can do, and importantly, enjoy the life journey.
Shandy:
The nearby playground where I used to play with my friends all sorts of childhood games like “catching” when we were in primary school. This was the special place where I started gaining more friends and building closer bonds with them. The playground has brought me tons of joy and wonderful memories that will be instilled in me forever.
The supermarket that was where me and my mom got groceries from, the gigantic shelves that were full of daily supplies and many varieties of things made me excited to do shopping! Another reason I like going to the supermarket last time was mainly due to the wide range of biscuits and candles that were sold, especially when my mom allowed me to buy one of it. To me, the supermarket was like an adventure to search for the items we need and it was fun.
When I was small, I had a pet goldfish. The goldfish was small and orange in colour. It likes to eat fish food but sometimes gets shy and hides.
I used to be not so good in Math, especially during primary 1 and 2. I disliked it and used to be very confused about the steps.
I like to eat delicious food at the local food court. They sell a variety of food that includes noodles, rice, and some toast. I will always buy my lunch and dinner at that place, normally I will get the economy Chinese rice.
