Within the blinking of an eye, another FASS Club project is over and done with. I am proud to say that Beach Fiesta 2008 was a success!!! Despite everything that happened, all the obstacles that have to be overcome, all the problems that fall upon last minute, all the fire fighting, all the anxieties, all the worries, all the tension, all the nerve wreck... we managed to pull through.

Special mention to dear pd Ying Ling, dear dpds Naga & Ade plus dear treasurer Xiao Yan, a lot of things were settled among the few of you so that the rest of the ocomm need not worry much. This project had a very tough delivery but nevertheless it happened and we can all taste the sweet fruits of success.

Even though it rained at the end, it may have been a blessing in disguise ya? Furthermore, we are already very lucky to have the sun for the majority of the event looking at how bad the weather had been for the past few days before the event.

Going down the night before to set up, going around on the actual day to welfare everyone, hiding under the umbrella to stay away from the scorching sun, taking pictures of everyone in action or hard at work... All so familiar to me as these are the things I did last year at Beach Fiesta too. Even though this time with higher intensity and fervour as I am in the ocomm and is not just a helper. Looking at the beach filled up with participants of the different sports, seeing the players show their wit and stamina on the field, watching the ocomm members sweating and standing under the sun for the project... it is really touching. I believe it is this feeling that propels many of us to come back to help out FASS Club events again and again.

There is always another side that people do not often see, the less glam side. What I want to say is that everyone needs to feel appreciated no matter how small the thing is, no matter how little the help is. The important thing is the appreciation, and it must come from deep within the heart. Nobody likes to do the things which most people shun, but why do they still do? Most of the time, it is just to help friends out. Such friendships are hard to come by, I will treasure those that I have. A senior once told me, your true friends will stand the test of time and hardship. I am glad to have those that will stand by me no matter what happens, really. :)))
