30th October 2009 - the Halloween Do of Glenmarie Cove residents.
Rain started at around 6.00 p.m. Our trick or treat was supposed to start at 8.00 p.m. And it had to rain on that particular day!!! By 7.00 p.m., I received a lot of phone calls and smses, confirming if the event would proceed, as many have already prepared for it!! I even sent out smses urging residents to help pray for the rain to go away.....apparently, not enough as the rain didn't stop at 7.29 p.m., as one of the resident said he prayed for. Probably he was being too demanding, that's why the rain continued.
Anyway, rain or no rain, the show must go on, as they always said. Left with no choice, we proceeded to Sri Santai for some games for the kids. The original venue was to be at the boardwalk at the Precinct 2 border. That would have been lovely with ample space and cool breeze. As it happened, we have to make do with Sri Santai (which incidentally, it would have been great if we have a club house with covered area for such gathering, right?? where's our clubhouse?)
But credit must be given to some of the management and guards who let us use the place and assisted with some things.
Needless to say, it was a very stuffy and restless games. No choice lah, sky was pouring out buckets of water.
When the rain stopped, we ended the game and started our trick or treat events. I must say that the team leaders, namely :- Andy (Albert and Agnes' son), Caleb (Capt Ng and Maria's son) and Raja (Thana and Sheela's son) did a very good job and was very responsible throughout. I really really have a lot to learn from these parents who educated their offsprings so well that I felt ashamed of my parenting skills!!
