How it started

It's all started in 2008 when my Poly CCA was involved in community events like Zouk's Mainly I Love Kids and the annual Stan Chart Marathon. I joined the Stan Chart Marathon as a mere volunteer with no experience and was with my poly mates as a group helping out in the event.

In 2009, I received an email from the same events company that run Stan Chart Marathon and asked me whether I am interested to help out in the event again. It was after the event that I knew that I was the only one selected in the whole group. However, the responsibility given to me was bigger, but I still accept it without hesitation.

When I first started, I did approached friends for companion or at the very least, have someone to talk or chat during the events. But long hours, no pay and unpredicatable weather would have turned them off. Maybe I dont know them well enough, thus I stopped asking around whenever there is an upcoming event.

The very same year, I did the inaugural Asian Youth Games where I stationed in Changi Airport to welcome foreign delegates and athletes. The Asian Youth Games was a preparation for this year's Youth Olympic Games.

Right from the start of the new year, I committed myself to events wholeheartedly. As in, every single events that need help, I will be there. Chingay, trialathons, NDP, Youth Olympic Games, adidas Sundown, etc..

The most memorable event that is on the top of the list will be the adidas Sundown 2010, held in Changi Exhibition Centre. Shuttle bus, road closures, and whatever problem that the participants have complained, I have been through it as I was on the ground.

The biggest test will be the coming Stan Chart Marathon where it will be held in Orchard, Sentosa and Padang.
