It was my 1st time penning my wishes too and also roving

around Orchard road to collect wishes too.

It was an unforgettable experience for myself.

Me together with popular blogger- Kevin Soh (In pink T-shirt) followed one of the volunteer group and went to Wheelock Place to collect the wishes from the public.

Many families came forward and pen down their wishes for 2012.

Kevin Soh's girlfriend, Shoel was there to help out too!!! So nice of her... =)

A cute little boy penned his wishes on the Wishing Sphere.

Many friendly people came up to pen down their wishes too...

A father and daughter walking along the street got curious about this and decided to write down their wishes after explaining what is this all about.

The SG cares Volunteers with the Wishing Sphere...

After 2-3 hours of roving around Orchard,the volunteers gathered back in front of ION Orchard before calling off.

It was really hard work for them all...Cause they have pump or blow up the Wishing Sphere for people to pen their wishes, then after the Wishing Sphere are filled up with wishes, they have to deflat it for easy transportation back.

Before dispersing off, we had a group photo with all the SG Cares Volunteers together!!!

Me & Kelvin Soh before we start to do crazy stuff with the Wishing Sphere...

1) During your entire time of Mr World Singapore 2022 from the time you auditioned till you won the title, tell us - what was the most overwhelming moment for you? To be honest, it was when i saw my friend Stanley give the most touching proposal on coronation night. It really made me tear up seeing how emotional he got while on his knee 2) What was the prep process like? The prep process was pretty vigorous nearing towards the end, as there were many events to go for and practices to attend.
