天朗气清，惠风和畅
作为10月的倒数第二天，我可以很负责任的告诉你，我的懒筋已经开始掌控我的大脑，甚至有一点政以贿成的感觉，只待十一月一扫沉疴。
我不知怎么的上了贼船（虽万般不愿却又无可奈何），亲爱的Maria老师已经在楼下等待了。事到如今，只能硬着头皮上吧……
等待（跳过）
接人（跳过）
车上，我默默的回忆着自己昨晚周全且精密的设想：首先，作为一个关爱老人的活动，最重要的一定是安全和卫生，为了避免推搡踩踏事件的发生，秩序的稳定必须拿捏，为了避免COVID-19 传染，吃饭时有可能是每个人一个上课时的桌子，就算数个人坐在一起，也会保持适当的距离。其次是一个安静又温馨的环境，志愿者在台上讲的故事沁人心脾，唱着让人如沐春风的歌谣，台下排排坐的老人们喜笑颜开。我甚至都想到了见到其他志愿者时如何先声夺人后来居上釜底抽薪背水一战直捣黄龙…… 最后，在下车前我细细品味了今天要表演的节目，愈发觉得自己练过小号的醇正男高音能派上用场。
富大海鲜酒家，虽不说金碧辉煌，但也有一点点大气磅礴的意味了，特意挑高的前厅，温暖如春的灯火，琳琅满目的奖状，这和我想象中的老旧敬老院可截然不同…“虽然被先发制人了，但也还在掌握…吧？”在刺骨寒风中瑟瑟发抖的我如是想着。突然，眼角看到了如同一抹骄阳般的身影，噢，亲爱的Claire老师，您终于来拯救您可爱的学生们了么，在混战的人群中，您是那么的显眼…
久违的体会到了温暖的感觉。屁股还没坐热的我们就被抓走了，正当我以为可能要在后台排练走个过场时，面前的纸笔将我打回原型……接下来我们要在前厅进行一系列检查工作。唉，雪虐风饕又如何，工具人没人权嘛，更何况各取所需还包吃。“听说饭还不错来着”我看着眼前层叠有序的灯柱与瓷砖。既然组织这么相信我，那作为中国共青团的一份子也不好摸鱼。虽说干了份意料之外的工作，但毕竟是志愿者，我也没指望能安心坐在那慢慢享用美味佳肴。但令我感到难过（社会性死亡，幸好有口罩）的是交接工作，我一脸懵的看着他们，他们给予我信任的眼神。
勤勤恳恳的工作态度是很重要的，至少也要专注一些，但是到一半的时候我就在心里开始＊人了，前厅不开空调就算了，打工嘛，吃点苦。可是还有其他的许多细节呢？一层楼，只包了半个场，可是总要有一个指示牌吧？左边有活动，右边正常营业诶。每次有人进来时都有七八双眼睛盯着那个人，审视他接下来的步伐，要不直接上去问东问西，不仅给我们增加了工作量不说，正常吃饭的人都要被吓跑了好吧。我都想找张纸贴上去了“请参考加活动的朋友们向左走，有序接受疫苗检查与登记，如果开车到来可以写上车牌来免费停车”，一目了然吧。再然后，场内没有厕所啊，想上厕所要出去，可是回来的时候怎么证明自己已经接受过登记了呢？上去又问一遍别人又觉得烦，主办方如果能发一枚胸针，（和国际禁毒日里学校发的差不多就行）是不是就很方便？
饭否？没位子，算了，人挤人，也算了，一桌就十二个包子和十六个春卷是怎么回事？转了一圈就剩两个了，我都不好意思多拿，正餐硬是拖到了一点多才来，我为了这一顿早餐都没吃，差点饿死。可不知道为什么，听着耳边类似迪厅的声音，我竟吃不下了，这和我预料中一张摇椅外加一张唱片就能躺一天的老人是不是有什么差错？唉，忧愁又攀上了我的心头…
演出，显然，作为一个有远见的人，Maria老师明确的知道没有排练与乐器加持的我们没有那种技惊四座的感觉，所以她另辟蹊径“既然比不过技术，那就拉人数，所有人一起唱，既有创意又有交流”，巧妙的打了一波广告后，我也学到了一招———死皮赖脸。唱歌嘛，反正带着口罩别人认不出来，这不正是一展歌喉的时候吗？
归途，夕阳的余晖下，一阵阵慵懒缠绕在我身上，“原来是午觉时间到了”。抱着手中打包的盒饭，听着耳边的窃窃私语，朦朦胧胧的竟想起一句话“我想起那天夕阳下的奔跑，那是我逝去的青春……”
“还不赖嘛.…”

On Friday we made some preparations for today’s volunteer service. About Canada National Seniors Day, we came to Vancouver from Richmond, and it took a lot of time. There were already quite a few people on the scene, which made people feel a little confused. We check the vaccination status of the people attending the festival and provide help to them, but there are some difficulties and some people are impatient. We distribute flyers about our songs, hoping that they can sing with us. Although some people don't seem interested in our program, some people will sing with us. We ended our volunteer activities at about two o’clock and it took a long time before we returned to Richmond.

There was quite a lot of prep work before attending the Senior Appreciation Event including practicing the song that we were to perform through zoom (as I was stuck in Surrey). Today, my mother and I made our way over to Vancouver from Surrey which took a considerable amount of time. We arrived at the venue quite late at around 11:00 AM, at which point a portion of the food had already been served and many guests had already made their statements. Some of the esteemed guests that I recall include an MP of Saskatchewan, a director of Security Operations within BC, and an important member of the cultural diversity group that hosted the event. The event was packed with people and performances which helped the jovial environment. At the event, specifically I helped with verifying the vaccination records of guests and providing assistance to those who arrived. As well, I helped handing out fliers of sorts promoting others to sing along to our song. The song was a bit of a letdown but it was a nice gesture either way. I left with a couple others at around 2 in the afternoon which was basically the end of the ceremony.

The event was enjoyable, but could use some improvements. There wasn’t much to do at the event, but it was ok overall. The food was a bit on the “meh” side, but the performances were really, really well organized and entertaining. Unfortunately, some people were quite rude coming into the event, but most of the guests were friendly. Overall, the experience was enjoyable, but there are quite a few spots that could’ve been improved. One thing that I found really well organized were the numerous performances and the award distributions, those were really well organized and carried out.

On Oct. 30, 2021, I went to Fuda Seafood Restaurant to volunteer. At first, my mission was to check other customers’ QR code. I stood at the entrance of the restaurant, waiting for the guests to enter. I used my phone to scan their COVID vaccine codes. My partner was Mia. Her task was to let the customers fill out the guests’ emergency contact form. Mia and I were hard-working. Although we were tired as we stood at the entrance for a long time, we tried our best to complete our tasks. We were very polite to each guest. Also, we helped people to guide the directions in the building, such as the direction to the activity location and the way to the restroom.
Next, the kids, the teacher and I were waiting in the restaurant, and we were ready to perform. We were prepared to sing together on the stage. The song was called “You Are My Sunshine”. I was holding the lyrics sheet. A man made a hand gesture to us, and we walked confidently onto the stage. On the stage, we stood in a horizontal line. The audience’s attention immediately turned to us. I felt a little bit nervous, but I was confident with myself since I practiced this song a lot before the performance. The accompaniment music started, and we began to sing. The voice we produced was in harmony. The music was light and bright. After we finished singing, we bowed. I could hear the applause from the audience. I felt so proud of myself. Afterwards, I received the volunteer certificate. I learned a lot today. For example, I improved my communication skills. I enjoy singing on the stage. I had a memorable volunteer experience.
