hadnt been posting for bout a week...sorry guys...haha

last saturday, on the 25th July, i went to do volunteer work with my family...the task was for us to wash shoes for crocs [yeah, the rubber shoe thingy]...reason why we had to wash? simple, they were shoes that others donated for charity...so obviously we have to make them look brand new before we could actually give them to people...it was at some industrial place so yeah took some photos before we started...adding on to the fact that we reached earlier than we were supposed to...



mom insisted that i take a pic with tt huge board with the word "crocs" spammed all over it...


the roof of the lower building that i saw next to the one we were on...guess wad i found?




among the huge pile of props i saw a familiar backview of someone, someone famous...lols SHREK! haha my camera was a bit blur coz i Shrek was quite far away and had to zoom...haha tot i was seeing things...


and of course, if u see shrek u will see his companions...the donkey and de pinoccio [spell rong?] the smaller ones like puss in boots were blocked...haha


loved the high view...lols my bro didnt dare to go any nearer...5th storey seems quite high coming to tink of it...

i tink that is Simei ITE? lols







huge pile of stuff...


and here are the boxes that contain the 4000 pairs of shoes waiting for us to start work...


detergents ans soaps of all brands were place in neat rows waiting to be used...


dad, me and mom...lols


and here we GO! lols the boxes were dusty but i refuse to wear the mask coz i noe i wont be able to breathe properly...haha


pairing time!


The Lim Family @ Work...haha




Why m i smiling like tt? O.o


the washing station...


well there were several stations...first one was pairing, second was washing, third was drying and forth was packing...i was at the first station all the while although i tried the washing station too...

taadaa! lols


xi shua shua xi shua shua


obviously i couldnt do it for long coz my skirt was rather short...so yeah haha


surprises could be found like every once in a while...haha like this pair of spongebob shoes...


my bro...


lols...why am i holding so many shoes? haha


mother and son...


he seems rather happy? haha


work harder...tons of shoes coming in!


there were bout less than 20 of us when we started..but soon more people came in and de person is teaching them and stuff...something we already went through earlier...the ones in red were from Temasek JC...


i ran all over sorting the good from de bad, the crocs from de non crocs and the pairs and colours and wadeva...lols its kinda fun coz its like some matching game or something...in total i stood for 6 hours...training on the previous day made my muscles cramp like nuts and plus these 6 hours, my legs didnt recover until tuesday...

soon lunch came 3 hours after we started and its macdonalds!


lols mom wanted to take me eating...my face was quite red becoz i had de rashes...should be from de dust...mom told me to change station and dry the shoes instead but i refuse...wads a bit of rash compared to kids in other countries with no shoes to wear, having their feet burnt by the hot ground?



when we were almost done, my dad wanted to take pic of the dragon outside so we did...lols i surrendered to the heat 5 hours later and tied my hair up...


here are the leather-based shoes drying pretty slowly under de sun...




here are the one-sided shoes and we couldnt find their partners...lols and that's my shoes...mom told me to stand there so i did...nw u noe wad i mean by matching game...have to be same colour design n size...lols


after we completed the cleaning, everyone was happy and clapped...took some group photos and left the place...when i reach home, i bathed and prepared for dinner...mom is bringing me to a vegetarian restaurant to eat with her friends...haha took a nap and yeah was ready to go...couldnt walk down the stairs properly due to my poor muscle...

haha these two boys are the twins of my mom's friend...pretty naughty and noisy but yeah managed to take a pic of them posing...one is Brandon [older on left], the other is Brian [younger on right] cant really tell de difference though...


these two are the daughters of my mom's other friends...haha


mom's friends and me...


my mom's friends kept on cracking lame jokes so yeah was quite [=.= ded] and one of them happened to say it when i was taking pic...so my eyebrows were like weird? lols


my mom and i...haha she was wearing high heels...so she looked taller...=x


wide spread of food...


it was quite an enjoyable day although my muscles really ache like mad...got the cip letter and was super happy coz its like 6 hours...haha my internet was a bit slow so i couldnt upload the photos last week...so the post was super lag...thanz 4 reading and hava nice day... seeyahsoon: yijing =]
