Doing Good in 2018

signed up with Mummy Yummy to distribute packet bee hoon to low-income families in Ang Mo Kio... (January) 

signed up with BeKindSG to engage the home's residents in CNY craftivities... (January) 

more craftivities with the residents at the home... (March) 

Creating Awareness and Promoting Kindness @ the Kindness Carnival with craftivities (May) 

Part of the team to arrange two flower baskets each to gift to the health care staff at Institute of Mental Health as part of Celebrating Everyday's Hero during Nurses' Week (July)

Assisted the home's residents to make towel rabbits to gift to the healthcare staff @ the home as part of Celebrating Everyday's Hero during Nurses' Week (August)

Partnered a client of Me Too! Club @ Minds for their paper flower activity. (November) 

am damn proud of myself for spotting a trick to get my partner to be involved in the drawing, cutting and pasting --> placing the item to be done on her lap, which 'forced' her to pick it up to place it on the table, hence releasing her fingers from a tight fist condition enough for me to 'manipulate' them into holding the marker, scissors and glue stick...  high-fiving at completing every step is a must too... =D 

part of the team that stayed for lunch at APSN Cafe for All & Aston Express 

purchased $100 worth of cookies from the APSN baking department too... the Royale cookies which we baked together with two of their students last year were really good... hope this year's double chocolate chips cookies will be equally good...       

help out once again at the craft station during the year end carnival @ the Home organised by BeKindSG (November)

one of the residents happened to colour the drawing sheet i drew as sample for my art club members for their VIA activity ... 

together with Lene, we volunteered with Project Awareness - Share & Walk with Me for its Xmas gift distribution to kids and bee hoon for the elderly living at the rental flats in Woodlands (December) 

scratch head... is there people staying in this unit?!?!?!

back at the welfare home for their xmas special in December as a mini sponsor and a volunteer to help the residents paint their nails... 

my first customer

paid for Mac lunch for some of the residents during two of their outings to Esplanade and Science Centre with the volunteers from BeKindSG... apparently, the residents love Mac... =D  

even got my nails pretty the 'Kinder' way by having them done at The Nail Social, Singapore's first socially conscious salon that was established with the aim of providing vocational training and employment to local marginalised women with a higher barrier to employment, so as to help them progress from a position of vulnerability to security and self-sufficiency.

under the influence of Huifang, i am taking tiny steps to go a little more green this year by having your water-bottle in my bag every work day for my once or twice a week teh-peng and honey green tea with bubble from koi...  

finally putting the freebie jap doll food container to good use too...has been using it for school catered lunch during work-weeks so as to reduce the use of disposable plates & cutlery

still remember how i insisted on buying 4 x 1.5 litre of not so nice green tea and ice lemon tea just to redeem this food container because it looks cute though i had no use for it at that time... =P

bringing my own shopping bag out whenever possible... 

setting up a separate recycle bin at home sweet home
