22 May Visit!!!

Yo, I'm supposed to write a blog entry for last saturday's (22 May) visit!

1st place: Mdm Lim Ah Neo
She's feeling kinda depressed, cuz she had a fever the night before. Although her fever has subsided in the morning, she was still feeling a bit of discomfort. She shared with me how she cleared the fever by drinking a bottle of cold Yakult and then a packet of cold Soya Bean drink!

2nd place: Mr Tan (not Johnny)
My first time visiting him. Very friendly uncle. He's suffering from a prostate disorder. He likes watching TV and spends a lot of time doing that. When we were at his house, he was watching 'Zhong Yi Da Ge Da". He knows quite some bits on Mandopop idols!

3rd place: Mdm Tan
She requested that we help her with her house cleaning on alternate visits. We spent quite some time talking about her life experiences. She went through a lot of hardship in her various jobs when she was young. She told us that she was really happy that the town council has allowed her to stay in her current flat.

4th place: Mdm Lim Chuey
She 'complained' why we came to her house so late. I think next time we have to arrange our visit to her house between 11-12pm! We did the usual cleaning of chairs, windows and floors. Jerome did a very impressive job of wiping the chairs squeaky clean!

Hi guys!! I guess I should start with an introduction abt myself! =) I'm Wen Hui, a new volunteer with you guys =) but I'm from NTU. hahas. I have been staring at this page for super long!! (Still can't escape from blogging) =X Pardon me if this post is boring cause I'm not really good with words =(

Okay, I gave my first time to you guys ! LOL. My first volunteering experience. =) The day started with Mr Johnny Tan's home. Honestly, I’m impressed with his fluency in English language. He shared with me about his past experience though I couldn’t really make out what he was trying to say at times but I love his facial expressions when he was speaking. He looked so sincere about sharing his experience with us. It was REALLY warm that day yet he rotated the fan towards us. I'm touched with this little action of his because it reflects his appreciation towards us. <3

Next was a visit to Mr Chew's home and lastly Mdm Tan's home. Mdm Tan greeted us at the door with a warm smile =) We did some cleaning for her. I love the way she smile and talk to us, it really made me feels good about what I am doing.

Simple things that we do for a short duration could really help someone in need and bring smiles onto their face. I love this feeling of giving and making a difference. Thanks to you guys for opening the door to this wonderful experience! <3
