朱永钦 – It is not every day that we get to encounter a celebrity during house visits, so our volunteers were extremely excited when I shared the photo with this famous resident, who was an eminent SBC host in the 1990s! Also known as Andy, Mr Zhu was extremely humble and down-to-earth. In other entertainment news, we also encountered a floor to ceiling Marvel Avengers statue collection from resident W from Taman Bedok. The estate also saw many dog lovers, with a couple proudly introducing us to their Singapore Special pup which looked like a border collie cross. Mongrels might not fetch the same price premium as pedigree dogs, however their sweet disposition and the inherent gratitude of being rescued by their owners offer a combination that make for wonderful canine companionship. If you are so inclined, adopt, don’t shop! It was a pleasant and sunny walk through the Taman Bedok estate, which we had last visited in 2020. Thankful for the volunteers who gamely took out their umbrellas and caps to cover much ground with us in the morning sun.

The WP East Coast team including @fooseckguan.sg and myself conducted our Christmas walkabout across the various markets this weekend, delivering 1000 Christmas cookies to the residents of East Coast GRC. This year, we supported a home baker Yummy Story (@yummytory2022 on Instagram) who customised cookies in the shape of a Christmas tree with icing to mimic trimmings and decorations. It was encouraging to feel the warmth and appreciation from residents, many of whom we are now meeting on a repeated basis as the various markets have become familiar ground over the years of outreach.
Personally as I reflect on 2022 and the major life changes I’m going through with baby N and juggling raising two young kids alongside professional and political demands, Christmas this year feels a tad quieter and with much less fanfare. It’s also given me pause to appreciate the people in my life who have been a source of strength and support along the way, as well as those whom our paths have crossed or converged.
And perhaps that is the spirit of Christmas, for us to take stock of life as it were and our impact on the people in our lives. When we think about the season of gifting, perhaps it is less about chasing the harried purchasing of physical gifts that we bear, and more of the immaterial such as time, thoughtfulness and kindness that leave an indelible trace in hearts and minds. Such gifts are much harder to procure, and require more effort to consistently deliver. I wish everyone happiness and contentment for the coming year, and the now ubiquitous wish that may you also enjoy good physical and mental health always.

Last weekend’s food distribution provided a noteworthy, if sombre perspective during this season where the cost of living is high. A few cents increase for a cup of kopi may be a slight complaint for some of us, but to someone in need, it could be a luxury to be given up completely. A resident whom we provided rations to said that the bag of rice was a welcome addition as it helped to offset his expenses. He is unable to work due to recurrent tremors in his dominant hand, which renders him unable to carry out work that requires extensive fine or gross motor skills, such as transporting goods or cleaning. In the course of our monthly food distribution, the WP East Coast team makes it a point to support mom and pop shops by purchasing our rations directly from them. This month, we were honoured to be aided by donor Ben Ng from Aquila Ascension Advisory , who had also roped in his family and friends for the distribution efforts. It was a joy to see their young children getting involved in the distribution, and throughout the course of our chats, they managed to also brainstorm some new ways of bringing a positive impact to our beneficiaries. With such inspiration and team effort, we look forward to doing more in the coming year!
