This is my first time visiting Mr Tay. As usual, we brought him down to the coffee shop to have his coffee with butter! We then talked to him about random stuff like why he like to have butter coffee, what happened during WWII, and his kampong life. Oh and he knows martial arts last time! Then when we brought him home, he asked us to call his sister. We knew that his sister wouldn't answer but we didn't want him to be disappointed, so we pretended that she answered and told her Mr Tay reached home already. Mr Tay kinda wanted to rush to the phone to talk to her but we told him that she hanged up already. He got abit upset and pissed with us for not letting him talk to her. So...yeah.. next time when any elderly ask us to call someone on their behalf, just answer truthfully:( Oh and Mr Tay needs newspapers for bathing and stuff..so just bring some during the visits yeah.

I could feel the happiness and joy from these elderly during the visits. For Mr Tay, he really looks forward to every Saturday's visit because that is the only day of the week that he can leave his house and go down for a cup of coffee. And for that, he is really thankful to the volunteers. For these elderly, a simple act can actually bring a lot of happiness and comfort to them. And a lot of times, we just take for granted of those simple acts shown by people around us. Besides caring for these elderly, we should also learn from them to be grateful and cherish everything around us.
