I registered as a volunteer for this event long back,got a call from organizers and they mailed me the details of role.I was chosen to be in the Logistics team at Gardens by the Bay.Excited! I was really looking forward to this event.I was asked to assist the team on 19th and 20th of November.
Gardens by the Bay:
What a beautiful place! Another landmark for Singapore.On saturday i was posted at the entrance for stamping the tickets.Very interesting job, was really excited to see so many people queuing up specially the kids.The whole day we were doing the same thing but it was interesting.Around 9PM i started to home.At night the flower dome looked beautiful, a sight to behold!
Next day,i.e on Sunday my shift started 8:30AM, this time i was assigned to count the number of visitors coming through Marina Bay Sands over bridge.Interesting job! Myself and a girl was posted at Malay garden do that .We have to write down the count every 1 hr in the notebook,previous day there were 13,000/- visitors.
Heavy rain did not dampen the spirit of Singaporeans, people kept coming through out the day.Thoroughly enjoyed my role and my wonderful fellow volunteer.hats off to NParks and its staff, job well done guys.! Volunteers too were wonderful, looking forward to more such events.
Visit to Orchid Show :
As part of World Orchid Conference there was a Orchid show.What a spectacle!! Awesome display of orchids.There were lots of competitions but i have not seen anything but saw the medals and prized Orchids.
The show became extra special as it was the first outing with my little baby girl.We took lots of photos.There was a market place where we found some real cheap plants and flowers.
Thanks to NParks for giving us free tickets to the Orchid Show. The effect of this show : now i'm started reading Orchid for dummies!!
