For the Hokkien group, we went to visit Mdm Ho, Mdm Cheong and Mdm Tan.
Mdm Ho always give us a warm welcome whenever we visit her. She is very chatty and loves to joke around with us. Mdm Ho can talk about almost anything under the sun and she can communicate in quite a few different languages and dialects --English, Chinese, Hokkien, Malay and Canto. She never fails to bring laughters and joy to us whenever we have conversation with her :D During the visit, Cong Ying asked Mdm Ho if she cooks, and we can answer that on her behalf ;) Mdm Ho is really a good cook. Her famous dish is curry chicken (tried and recommended by many volunteers). So must look forward to the next time she cooks curry chicken for us.
Mdm Cheong is very fit and healthy. She's a good friend of Mdm Ho, so naturally she's also very friendly. In my opinion, she sounds quite comical when she speaks and sometimes make us burst out laughing in the midst of a conversation. She is quite particular when comes to housekeeping, eg. the two white chairs placed in front of her bed cannot touch the bed frame. Whenever we visit her to clean the house, one thing to take note is to wait for her instruction before starting to clean anything. As she will nag a bit if we did not do things according to her wish, but she meant no harm, still a very amiable senior to talk to :D
Mdm Tan is a very cute senior and always gives us a great smile to welcome us. She keeps her house really very clean. Whenever we visit her, there isn't much house cleaning to be done. Hence we would spend more time chatting with her. Mdm Tan has been experiencing some vision problems. She sees really very blur images, in fact, it seems that her vision condition is deteriorating as she couldn't really see the image even if the image was placed quite near to her. Due to her blurred vision, she had a fall previously when she was on her way to get some stuff. In fact, she still has that phobia from that previous fall. Thus, she tried not to go anywhere too far from her house and stay at home for most of times. As a result, she missed out many activities organised by the community and various welfare organisations etc. Hope she will go for a medical check-up soon and regain her vision soon.
Hope you guys would look forward to meet each and every elderly! As they have many interesting stories to share with you guys! (:
With blessings,
Boon Peng (:
