Yesterday went to help out as volunteers for the sports for disability. Woke up at 5.45am(thats super early) meet up with my friends at the bus stop then we set off to the serangoon stadium. My friends were late as usual... After arriving at the stadium, we helped to set up the place changed to the tee shirt given and duties were assigned to us. The most hilarious part was when xueli and meifen who had finished the tasks assigned to them and they sat at the top of the audience seats for 6 hours."sitting marathon" thats what xueli said. And they got sunburnt too by just sitting there. Hahas,many of us got tanned!! My nose got sunburnt!! its painful lol.

My takeaway for the day
I saw the sports spirit in the kids. Some of them fell during the race but they just pick themselves up and finish the race with a smile!! Thats so innocent and brave of them. These kids are with disabilities but that doesn't stop the from taking part in sports like we ordinary people can. I was given the duty to hold and pass the medals to VIP and guest of honour who then present the prize to all the winners. And while receiving the prize,the expressions shown on their face were purely satisfaction and happiness. This makes me realized how simple things could cheer up people's day. I truly admired their spirit and that is where I should learnt from them,even if you fall you just have to stand up and continue and you will eventually meet the finishing point like everyone else does.=D
