Short post

Hello everyburdy,

A very short post here. Old liao, not as creative as the young people put so many pictures and interesting topics. but trust me, i went through a lot of thinking before this post. haha, so here it goes.

the night before last visit I was at CSC youtube account looking through some old videos of csc, which captured quite a few parts on THES too. then went on looking at the old photos of thes. really wonderful to see those memories. feeling kinda touched.

the next day went for visit. emo moment came when visiting mr chiu and mdm ho. They aged. i mean. older than before. 3.5years ago when I first stepped into their places, I rmb Mdm Ho was still walking around with strong legs, instructing us like a boss haha. during festive seasons she would cook curry chicken and 猪肚汤 for us. then Mr Chiu was still active in many activities organised by the Touch and the nearby community centre. he never needed the volunteers to help him with house chores. every visit was like a karaoke session with him. both of them were strong and healthy.

but recently, many of the new volunteers only have impression of them with walking difficulties etc. Mdm Ho now needs help to get out of the house. she cant cook nice food for us like she used too. not many volunteers tasted her curry chicken and 猪肚汤 before. Mr Chiu is now having a hard time catching up with rest of the elderly during group outings. and few mnths ago when i visited him, it was the first time i cleaned his house. it was the first time i stepped into his kitchen. it was the first time i realised his place is really dirty and need some help in cleaning. i still rmb him saying: "最近老了 没有力打扫".

4th year in THES. many things changed. the elderly grew with us. as volunteers, we are here to be with them, to leave them (and ourselves) with great memories. :) Same same but different. What stays the same is the love,but by different volunteers.

i guess i shall end this post with a question: WHO WANNA COOK CURRY CHICKEN WITH ME & MDM HO? :D
