Outdoor Promotion during Project Cool Running cum Kebun Baru Family Day

The moment I woke up early in the morning at 5:40am...I heard patters of rain outside and my spirits dipped... The outdoor sales today was at Bishan Park and we were expecting quite a huge crowd to be at the park for the morning walk-a-jog and the family day event. However... it was raining!! And I was really hoping that the rain will subside soon...

Anyway...back home from the half day's outdoor sale at Project Cool Running cum Kebun Baru Family Day at Bishan Park. Having slight headache now, probably due to the change in temperature - hot/cooling...all the way.. Haha...but the effort put in was worth it. And I think overall we all had quite a good time, and sales of the duck race certificates and the souvnir ducks were reasonable, considering the wet weather.

Thanks to my fellow juniors, Hong Xiang and Alvin, who volunteered to assist us in this outdoor event... :) I really think you both did an excellent job.. :) You have the spirit there, and you all did your best all the way even when you were starting to feel tired after some hours. Thanks! :)

Alvin Lu and I were there early to set up with Mr Ong and Ms Kwa, our lecturers-in-charged. Another lecturer from the School of IT, Ms Sin, was there to support us as well. :) Thankfully, the rain sort of stopped once we reached Bishan Park. We had to wipe the tables allocated for our booth as they were wet due to the rain which sprinkled in despite having tent shelters. After about 45mins of setting up, we were all ready to start work. ;) That was when we dispersed to different areas around the family event at Bishan Park to reach out to different groups of people or individuals.

I saw our PM - Mr Lee Hsien Loong...so close to our booth!! :) But he didn't visit our booth though... Haha ~ Seeing him in such an outdoor event for families, I think he such a spotty person... he is exactly the same as what I see him on TV. Haha ~ Friendly and sociable...mostly interacting with little kids and the parents of the families.

Hmm... Probably, we have 1 more outdoor sales to go..this time at Marine Parade... Check out the blog for details of it. ;)
