At the beginning of the event I got a ton of hugs from friends I had not seen in a long long while from Victoria Park and other places as well. They began the day off with a bit of stupidity as they all tried to hurdle over the opening of the inflatables. They hurt themselves and the inside was wet with water. I laughed. Later on that day we all went to our stations. I worked at face painting. My good friends Mei and Eve worked at the mini games beside me. The only person I knew at face painting was Yiyang and Jess, but Jess wasn't a volunteer, she was working for the hall as a staff member and also as did arts and crafts opposed to face painting. The day was hectic and I was dead tired, but nonetheless it was fun. During lunch we got disgusting Boston Pizza pizza that had no taste and was way too dry. During the course of the day I was on the lookout for a pretty girl that I expected to come. Tinnie the volunteer coordinator was also a good friend of mine and she had told me that she invited an extremely pretty girl there as her assistant and told me to never get near her or even look at her for I was a big threat due to my apparent "flirtatious" nature that I was not aware of. In the end I was not able to find this mysterious girl.
During our free time we painted on each other. I painted on this one girl called Amanda because she wanted to see what I could do since I was just sitting there. I drew an onion head emoticon on her from a popular set of MSN emotions. She thought it was cute. After talking to Amanda for a while her friend Stacy started to speak as well. Stacy was a pretty girl I would not have had the nerve to speak with if she had not spoken first. So I asked if I could draw on her and she agreed to it. Since I had to stabilize her arm so she wouldn't move I held her hand with my left hand. I was so nervous I began to shiver but let us hope she did not realize. I might have even blushed a bit. Contact with pretty girls was not a regular thing for me. I drew a heart with a crown and a set of wings on her. It was one of my signature designs I had designed a while back.
Half the kids walking around the picnic had looked like Spiderman since one kid started to get Spiderman, every other kid decided to as well. Near the end of the day we all packed up and I was crazy tired. While leaving I got more hugs from my friends and was invited to go to dinner with them. However, I was short on cash and I had a family dinner to attend to. It was a good day for me since I got to meet new people and see old friends. I actually lasted pretty long for a sleep deprived man with no energy whatsoever. At the family dinner I nearly fell asleep but managed to stay awake. As I left the restaurant I bumped into Kelvin one of the volunteers I met at the picnic that day. He had to walk from Midland and Sheppard to Warden and Huntingwood because no one had any bus tickets or change for him. It was a walk that would've taken anyone over an hour. Afterwards, I asked Tinnie where the extremely pretty assistant was and she told me it was actually Stacy. She had stuck her right under my nose and I had not noticed at all because it was the last place I would have looked. She had ninja'd me like a true master. The lesson I learned today is that what you're looking for may be a lot closer than you think.
