Fun Walking - 19/3/2011

“Come and join us tomorrow…”, Auntie said to me as she handed me a bright green T-shirt. Before I could ask her any question, her sharp eyes were already scanning my tummy. “I think the ‘XL’ tee will fit you better”, she concluded. Her reason for wanting me to join the walk suddenly became obvious. With a grin, I thanked her and promised to be there.

At 7.25am the next morning, I grabbed my camera and headed straight to Block 223A hardcourt to meet the Fun Walkers...

Swaying the hip ...

Marching on the spot ...

And finally taking a deep breath before starting the walk.

Hey, even a 2 year old kid can join.

The karaoke session started shortly and we have residents going up the stage to entertain us. Oh yes! We had songs from different countries too!

January and Feburary events -my thoughts

It seems not too long when we celebrated our Year End function, where we welcome New Year 2010. There were many joyful events organised both at the RC and CC levels. Some of these pictures can be found in the YUHUA Family Facebook.
Events like our MP visiting the old folk's homes, brought joy and happiness in their life, the Recycling event contributed to saving the world for our many future generations.
The Bursary awards which inspired the students to work harder and reducing the financial situation at home, block parties were organised to bring togetherness, harmony among neighbours and friends. Spring cleaning and painting conducted not only your own house , but also on other houses.

These happenings would not have been materialised without our dedicated volunteers, whom gave part of their time, to ensure the less fortunate or the less happy people, to come near or on par, in our daily lives.

In order to do more charitable works, we are looking our for more volunteers to join us and partake in our activities to bring joy, happiness to our neighbours and friends.
