CNY/ Valentine's Day Celebration

heys!

it's been some time since i last came here. and now is indeed the time of assignments and midterms and projects! -woes-

anyway, LB celebrated a late chinese new year and a on-the-dot valentine's day with the elderly on 14th February (: the event was also kindly sponsored by the Singapore Refinery Centre and their volunteers came down to spread the love and joy around as well.

the event was well-received i suppose, with a whopping of more than 90 elderly? heh cant rmb the exact number but the whole place was filled. we played some games to start it off, such as charades, the jigsaw puzzles, and using angpow paper to form auspiscious or romantic chinese characters like 福 or 爱. the elderly also got to prepare a mini gift bag for themselves with the colourful papers, soapbars and salonpas. haha. jian cong from CSC came armed with a harmonica and three beautiful songs to memerise the elderly. =p

but the best part was the buffet lunch (sponsored by SRC), and i guess it really blessed the elderly. and of course, we also had a cai shen ye to literally bless them with angpows.

so that day marked a joyous celebration for the elderly, and do hope they enjoyed it!
