Firstly, want to thank the 3 super girls namely adele, hong yu and sye yuet who have made this project possible and successful for all of us. I think they have been through a lot of hardwork to get everything laid out for all of us. So, thank you so much to adele, hong yu and sye yuet.
My thoughts... I feel that this ocip cip is a very different and wonderful experience for me. Personally, I have not done this type of cip before going house to house to conduct house visits before buying the necessities for the households. I feel that we were brought closer to the households when we exchanged conversations during the house visits. This has made me want to give my best to raise funds for them in order to buy the necessities asked by them.
The fundraising was a short one but all of us who have helped out have definitely put in their 100% throughout the 4 days. It was difficult to ask people for donations under LT1 because whenever people see "us" sitting under LT1, they knew that they have to dig their wallets for $$ if they were to walk pass. So a few make a detour when they saw us. Nevertheless, we did not give up. We went up to them with the slashboards and the money box and asked for their generous donations. I guessed many have no choice but to gave in to us eventually. I think that was the most fun part about fundraising and if we did not work together to spot potential donors, I think we would not be able to raise the funds within such a short period of time. so weel done guys!
The buying of items was long that day as we have to choose the many varity of brands of the same stuff from the shelf. we couldn't make up our mind what is the best for the households and even considered whether is is appropriate to place those items in the hamper. Although the process was very like "Arghhhh...!!!" But it was fun after all arguing with jia xiang and adele over the items we should puerchase. Remembered we walked into the office of NTUC twice before we got the deal. The 1st walk out was a bit "malu" cos we couldn't make up our mind what and how we wanted the goods to be collected or delivered. But before we walked the 2nd time, we ensured that all of us come to a consensus before walking in and talked to the person in-charge. Eventually, we managed to get NTUC to help us take out those items requested while we make another trip bakc to collect the items. Feel so WoW being able to step into the office dunno whether we'll get another of such chance... hahax!

It's a pity that I been through the eentire process of the cip except for the last part where we are suppossed to deliver the hampers to the households. "sob sob" So sad that I have a ceremony to attend to that day and couldn'y join you guys for the giving our of hampers... It's really a pity thinking back. How I wished I could split myself and go for both events... So will have to hear from you guys what are the interesting things that took place during the giving out of the hampers...
