The Olympics is coming; less than a month after about 5,000 years of waiting for the Old Kingdom we now call China. Well, Qin Shi Huang would have no idea that his unification of China will see it hosting the biggest sporting event in the world. In less than a month, China will be invaded by foreign legion of sport warriors, fans, reporters and not to mention volunteers. Great Wall of China will be breached and China will welcome them with an open arm!
There will be thousands of people going to China to watch this great event, while millions more may glue themselves to their seats back home to watch their heroes doing battles in their respective battlefield. Some might not care but some are willing to sacrifice their time and money just to be there. I have a great friend who will be at the Olympics as a volunteer, to see for himself and absorb the energy that happens only every 4 years.
To be a volunteer is not easy. It's never easy to be a volunteer of any kind, but to be away a thousand miles from home makes it tougher. It needs whole-hearted dedication. All cost to be borne by oneself. How many of us can do that? Work has to be put aside, you need to find willing sponsors for food, lodging and also the travel arrangement. It's a lot of money involved; not to mention time and effort put in. My friend, if I'm not mistaken will be stationed at the Aquatic Centre. He'll get to watch all those great bodies in skimpy outfit for free! Maybe that's the reward for being a volunteer! He'll be a lucky 金鱼老! Jokes aside, I know he'll be a dedicated volunteer for our country, raising our Jalur Gemilang, and be proud whenever our swimmers took to the pool. I hope he'll enjoy his stay there and comes back with fond memories. Just can't wait to listen to his experience.
Anyway, best of luck to you, my friend. I'm proud to have a friend like you, always ready to help and serve. just like when I'm working with you. Everything also can kau tim! Thanks to a great person whom we known, Billy Leong for sponsoring his air ticket. Billy, you really made his day! Big heart you have, sir! For that, I salute you.
