Finally...

Dragged myself out of bed super early in the morn, like b4 5 am. Then left home b4 6 am.

Had to reach @ Bishan CC at 6 plus... Madness, yawned like once every second.

After we set up the booth, participants started streaming in. Among them were a family of 17 who were super enthu, some Tanglin SS students, Italian profs from SMU, Huiyi and Steven from my ASOC group & Tze, Shuyun, Yujin, Zhemin, Benji, LK & Jizheng from 29th OAC!

Actually think that our whole event itself is quite grand. Goodie bag got Teenage mags, 'Eat' mag, M&M cutesy souvenirs, Newater, Bods vouchers, Nature's Farm's vouchers & Coverlooks vouchers. We even had NMP Eunice Olsen, Ang Peng Siong and Fandi Ahmad as our guests!

Juz too bad that we dun have enuf participants. We had about 100 participants so it looked like a mini-walkathon. SpOs needs $10,000 but we raised like much less than the target amt. =( Tink it was our publicity ba. The article on Today newspaper only came out like on Sat la... Then dunno wad happened to our Straits Times article oso. And the schools in Bishan area either ignored or rejected our email regarding the walkathon. Went down to NYGH, NJ and Hwa Chong to sell tix and managed to sell several tics to our juniors and teachers but seemed like none of them went down, though they promised to. =( Pang sei us...

In conclusion, all of us did this fundraising project out of goodwill. We dun really ask for anything in return besides experience, a sense of satisfaction and success in fundraising. Much time and effort, blood and sweat was put into this fundraising walkathon. For this project, some of my team-mates actually pon lectures, while PL decided to give SMUX Camp a miss.

Many thanks to the helpers, volunteers and all who came down to the walkathon, especially my friends, who particularly came to cheer me/ us on... =) It relli means a lot to me.

Anyone keen on making a donation, or if any queries, you can contact me or email to: zest_team@yahoo.com.sg

We still have 1 more week left to raise funds for Special Olympics. Yepz...

Tmr starting sch... Quite apprehensive! Wish me good luck!
