Visit To Old Folk's Home
Wednesday, 2 March 2011 | (0) comments | Post a comment

If you ask me how do I feel, I would say it was a FUN JOURNEY!
Well, we had just went to the Old Folk's Home for the School CIP Programme.
Initially, before I went there
I thought " Sian, Why must we go? Haix..."
It was a boring thought. We choose Wednesday cause according to the Horoscope book, Wednesday is a good day! Something lucky would happen. Hehe :D
Today, it is also our school Prefect Investiture day. Parents of the Prefects were there too. Well, it is kind of boring. This is because we cant really look at the pictures on the screen as the light is too bright. I only LOVE the music. I think that it is Narnia that song, if i wasn't wrong. Also, "Xiang Yan" the CO song. I played this song before when i was in Pri School. NICE! <3

We went to SUBWAY at the Cold Storage there. We ate Cold something trio, the set meal for the burger. Delicious! It is quite tasty. This is my 2nd time to the Subway! Hehe, thanks a lot to my friend that helped me to order.

Due to so many people there, and the space was like quite squeezy and small, 6 of us were there. We had to separate seat, 2 by 2... After ordering the food, we took it back to our place. Starting my first bite. I feel pity for my friend, as she was in CO. She was chased back to school after her lunch, and was stopped from going to the Old Folk's Home. How could the teacher be so heartless. Just one day only, not as if everyday they were going to skip their CCA. Poor her, after her lunch, she got all of the CO members back to school... Another exciting thing happened! My friend screamed at Subway!

"Arggghhh!!! ..." she screamed.

It caught all of the people attention. Everybody stared at her. Errr... There was something disgusting climbing on the wall. Not convenient to say it here. After that, there was a deafening silence. They continued their eating, pretending nothing had happened. I was full.
We went in groups to the Old Folk's Home. Walked... Quite near... The gate opened and we went in. Looking nervously around, i do not know any dilect. Fearing that i couldnt interact. Well, just hope that they could understand me. Chinese bah. My Chinese rocks okay. Hehe , jokingg joking. The Person-In-Charge told us about so of the situation and which we already knew. We placed our bag in one room and started our venture.

Not knowing what to do, we followed to crowd. We went to 2nd floor, then 3rd floor then 2nd floor , then 3rd floor. The people at the 2nd were asleep, so we left, so we would not disturb them. The elderly at the 3rd floor were doing phisotherapy. It is some form of exercise. They looked so benovent, and motherly look. I remembered my Grandma. I missed her. <3 I really do not know how to like start a speech, but i tried my best. I smiled broadly and friendly said "Hello" to many of them.
Some of them ignored me, there were also some that were really friendly.

Wow, they were eighty plus year old. We venture the place, there were a few elderly lying in their room, restrained from walking, lying in their beds. Their eyes were full of lonliness, i feel like talking to them, but we wasnt allowed to enter. We started chatting with the elderly with a "ni hao" She said she could understand Chinese but she couldnt speak. GOOD! YEAH! But well, dialect... I understand a bit, i can understand simple ones. Sometimes, there was a few times of silence, cause we do not know what to talk about. I know she is really caring and friendly. I pushed one on the wheel chair to her room, however, it was time for lunch so we had to push her down. She couldn't really understand what we were talking about, nor we could understand what she was talking about. She told us that she dont want to eat, as explained by my friend, so i said, persuaded her to eat . "Must eat, so she would have energy" in Hokkien. Down we go, she led the direction, while i push her. Also, i witnessed an elderly bully another elderly, naughty naughty ar, haha.

She hit another elderty butt, then she screamed and they started scolding, soon , the nurse consoled them lol, it was rather funny. We served them cups and water in the canteen. It was quite fun, it was my first time to this place. We chatted along with a elderly, and she was quite friendly! Yes, she could speak a lot! I saw a dog, the dog was obedience. I am afraid of Big Dog, so i didnt go very near, in case it bite me.

I asked a gonggong , how old is he? He told me 38 , well , indeed young!
"Ren lao xin bu lao!"
Hoping to play Mahjong, but no no , it was lunch. We bought drinks from vending machine. The drink was cool! I never drink before, Peach Tea! The can look nice! Almost all the elderly were in the canteen eating the medicine. We waited at a corner in groups, chatting in our small groups.

Time passes so quickly, soon we had to go. I cant bear to leave actually. Sadly, we had to leave. I would miss them. This would be our First and Also the Last time here. I would missssss theemmm, certainly. I hope that my teacher could organise the trip again, even if it is not for CIP, it is for our own good. We had to leave eventually.

We bid goodbye to many of them, and we took a group photo there, and leave. I took the bus with my friend and go home.

LOT OF MISSES TO THE ELDERLY. <3<3<3
