Wah!
We are almost mistaken as loansharks today!

When we were on our way to Mr Ong's (new resident) apartment on the 4th storey, we were first greeted by "O $ P $" and his unit number on the wall. Khoon Hong and I looked at each other with shock; I wonder if Khoon Hong did arrived early in the morning to paint the wall.

The gates of his unit were mildly splashed with paint as well. We tried knocking on his door "knock knock knock".. but no one answered. We started to ponder: Is he avoiding the loanshark? We made Jian Cong stand directly infront of the peephole as he APPEARS TO BE the most innocent among us! But apparently, Mr Ong did not open the door...

So, we proceeded on to Mdm Tan's apartment. As usual, we were greeted by her friendly smile and warm greetings. She was as hospitable as usual (this time serving us with Yeo's Winter Melon packet drink). We chatted with her and she shared with us about her past job, as "sort-of" labour worker. Her hokkien was quite pro and i didn't really catch all the things she has said. But I could understand that her job was rather tough and admired her for her diligence.

After visiting Mdm Tan, we went back to Mr Ong's apartment again. WAh! This time Jasmine Chu Ma..and Mr Ong finally opened the door! (No lar.. actually she called his phone; He couldn't hear our door knocks previously). As we realised that Mr Ong has difficulty moving around, we checked his fridge to see if he has enough food in his home. To our astonishment, we realised that almost all his food items were expired! One of the pear was 50% rotted!

We immediately brought Mr Ong to the nearest NTUC to stock up his food. At the same time, we accompanied Mr Ong to make a new pair of spectacles. As Mr Ong was choosing his specs, Khoon Hong and Jian Cong also frantically seize this opportunity to be "zhi lian" by trying on as many different specs as possible. Jasmine was helping Mr Ong to take photos of himself with different pairs of spectacles as he "bai post and twist". I felt that Mr Ong is quite "in" and has good taste as I personally like the specs design that he has chosen for himself. On the contrary, the specs that Jian Cong has tried on was, in particular, horrendous.

Hah, for all those ppl who have visited Mr Ong today, the show he has wanted to catch so badly is:

Golden Age (Magazine)
Magazine programme which specially tailored for everyone in the golden age.

hmm.. i wonder why he would prefer the show over the companionship from angels(us)... ((:
