Hi all,
I heard from sources that there is going to be an international event held in Singapore. One of the event is going to be a major observation and volunteers are needed...
Anybody has heard of anything of this sort?

I heard that from Dr Phil Chan last night also. If I didn't remember wrongly I think it has something to do with some kind of Olympic event.
