service learning day

tues was our class service learning day. our school specially set aside a day for us to do cip. not bad right. we went to an old folks' home called missionaries of charity. i was like the first one there la only mrs tan was there and ended up talking to her and found out that she is really quite nice if u talk to her alone...i was cleaning the windows it was fun but tiring... there was a sense of satisfaction when i saw the windows sparkling clean... haha lolx... after the job was done, we were supposed to interact with the old folk but i was quite scared of them cos they were like quite weird then while we were working they were just like staring at us...but still i tried to talk to some of them.. we sang songs and play pass the parcel with them... there was this very cute old lady who sang twinkle twinkle little star then after that she would say oleh oleh very cute... haha lolx.. then she groped kit's butt then ask her who she was but she sayanged shu ying's face and called a devil... hmmm i really don't understand... then i talked to this old lady then i couldn't really understand cos i'm not really very fluent in hokkien so i was like pretending and nodded at times... there was another old lady with dementia and she brought si yi to her bed like four times... then there was another old lady 91 years old but was still very alert and she knew quite a lot of languages and could communicate with us quite well... at about 11a.m it was time for lunch and i fed the old lady that i talked to she was like quite poor thing cos she was eating porridge and she find it very bland then the person was like keep forcing her to eat but she enjoyed the durian and like flies landed on the durian but the people there didn't bother and didn't let us change don't want us to waste food... then after that the old people went to sleep...i think i wouldn't want to live a life where i forget everything in my life even my loved ones that would be quite sad and would be a burden to them so i also don't want to live too long quite sad then my skin become so wrinkled... it may not be a bad thing to stay in an old folks' home cos u get the proper medical attention u require and also u get to meet people your age better than being pushed around by your children and feeling unwanted right...after that we had class lunch at pizza hut yummy
