Seasons greetings (= Christmas party was on last Saturday, though it was much scaled-down to a scale of 30 plus residents from the original 130 due to the still-havent-recovered flu outbreak in BHID. Hopefully the residents would have recovered by the new year! So plans were tweaked to scale down the event, but the fun still remains! Thanks to our 2 fairies and santa claus who acted spontaneously to present the background story to our volunteers and residents. 
Here’s the story~ It’s near Christmas, but our 2 fairies in Santa’s factory were depleted of energy because their musical instruments which give them energy were broken. As they lost energy, eventually they slowed down to a stop at a corner of the factory.
Santa turned up devastated to see his 2 fairies void of life.
 
And empty un-decorated Christmas trees, because the fairies who were supposed to decorate them are now slumped in the corner. And a pile of presents, because the fairies were to have helped him sort them out for the respective kids.
Hence Santa’s appeal to our residents! To help bring fairies back to life, sort out the presents and help him decorate the Christmas trees!
And with the help of volunteers, residents sorted out the presents in the first game,
 
pieced up santa claus and snowman
  
decorated Christmas trees,
  
and made musical instruments that would create music to bring our fairies back to life! musical instruments of shakers and clappers =D
 Hence our Santa Claus was happy and fairies awoke
  and we ended with caroling (=
 
On this last day of 2009, here’s wishing everyone a blessed 2010, and a BIG BIG BEARY THANK YOU to our volunteers, especially those who have come to help out specially for our Christmas party! Thanks for bringing the laughter and smiles to our residents that day, sure they had a good time because of your presence (= AND have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
