I have been battling a flu virus since Monday, and so far the score is 50-50, body vs virus. I have been having the sniffles, sneezing, itchiness of throat, giddiness and traces of phlegm. I cannot get sick at this time! There are so many things going on the next few days!
Today I will be involved in the SGX Bull Run. My company donated a certain amount to the charities involved, so a few of us are asked to take part in the run. And why me? Because I am one of the youngest available. And somehow my Human Resource Executive got the impression I am willing to take part in fun events. How did I give him the impression, I wonder?
Of course I am willing if it is for charity. Just that I have not run for a very long time. Even jogging and brisk walking have not been a part of my life ever since I left school. Anyway we have been given T-shirts sponsored by one of our resorts which we are supposed to wear as our company attire, with a numbered bib and khaki bermudas or capris.
This year's Bull Run involves dogs too. There is even a doggie race! In that case, why is SPCA not stated as one of the charities? Somehow in almost every fund-raising, there are funds for hospices, under-priviledged, sick people, which is good, but yet animals are never remembered in any fund-raising. If SPCA needs funds, they need to raise it themselves without much support from any organisation, and the amount of donations they get are never enough.
This Sunday, I am going back to the beach at Sentosa. I have volunteered to bring a group of kids to the Ministry of Home Affairs Family Day for an outing. These kids are from a children's home, and they have been abandoned or neglected or kids of prisoners. Ever since I left teaching, I never thought I will ever bring a group of kids (save for my own relatives) out again!
We are having a company gathering on Monday night. There will be singing, dancing, drinking, fun and laughter all round. It will be a Latin theme, so I will probably go dressed up as a peasant!
Incidentally, I came across this. I will so like to take part! Unfortunately, December is always my busiest period, especially since my family will be away for the first two weeks. Hopefully I can squeeze some of the activities into my schedule! It will be so fun!

Our definition and the management's definition of "fun" usually differs...
