hahaha i realised that everyone in accreditation (acd) in bishan has posted something awesome about yog somewhere! either on their blogs or like on facebook.
so i shall conform to peer pressure and join the club and post a little something about yog.
started out a few months back when i signed up with christine to volunteer and all that. haha was kind of wanting to watch the competition. so thats why i signed up. but i signed up for the wrong job if i wanted to watch the competition.
at that point in time, i didnt know that acd was a desk job, so like oops. only when i went for the training sessions did i realise that my job wouldnt exactly allow me to watch the games.
started off the first day of yog feeling abit apprehensive... didnt know anyone else there save for jovina. but then again, didnt know her very well either. was actually contemplating not showing, but haha. responsibility and all >< really was a huge leap out of my comfort zone, having to mix with completely new people and all that. it really didnt help that all the other volunteers were older, and there were only 3 other rj students. 2 of which i had no idea who they were beforehand ><
but i guess it turned out pretty okay. really really fun in fact. made loads of new friends, especially with the transport people (:
in the end, im proud to say that all of us have bonded so much. even with the adults who were always great fun to talk to (: and always ready to share their stories and experiences with us for a good laugh (: i never expected to be so sad that the entire yog is over. and even though i was rostered for 10 days of duty out of a possible 11, being down for duty was actually really enjoyable. after all, even the most boring of jobs can be made interesting if the people were awesome (:
kudos to the people who bought the cake and the subway cookies to celebrate (: and to daphne and oliver who walked all the way out to buy all of us koi bubbletea and actually treated us to it (:
i know some people took photos with the athletes and all that, but at the end of the day, those are just photos. i guess its the memories of the friends youve made and the jokes that we've shared that makes things memorable. years down the road, photos will fade into oblivion. the greatest takeaway of all will not be the photos, nor the badges, but the friendships forged.
so heres thankyou to everyone at bishan acd:
