Hellooo! Mark and Michelle here. We are new volunteers at T.H.E seniors and so far, all the activities have been very fulfilling and enriching.

The CNY celebration was such a blast! I think both the seniors as well as the volunteers had alot of fun.

The first game Bingo, which was also played at the christmas party was good because of the anticipation and excitement when you wait for your numbers to appear. We were really tempted to help the seniors fill up the bingo boxes because it seemed pretty tedious for them. When our elderly won the Bingo game, we were excited for them too!! Hahah. The elderly were commenting that the game is very similar to toto.

The second game (passing pistachios and melon seeds with the chopsticks) was challenging-albeit not for the elderly, but for us! We are such noobcakes at passing stuff using chopsticks that we dropped them more then the elderly. Super funny. The game-pace was very fast...and the elderly were really good at passing the pistachios and seeds down.

The latern-folding activity was memorable as well because we got to interact with the elderly and to learn to make the laterns togther. Our group won! Yay! Haha. And we made more number 8s than we needed to. Lol. The elderly were so enthusiastic and eager to learn to make them too! Cool.

And how can we forget the cute forfeits our seniors and volunteers did- the group sing-a-long and the dance was was heart-warming. Even the other groups who were not part of the forfeit sang along as well :).

In all, the CNY celebration was AWESOME! Thank you for all the hard work. More happy times with the seniors and fellow volunteers to come. THEEHEE!

Toodles.
