Let's talk a bit about the major outing on 20/12 at Botanic Gardens (otherwise it will be a very short post hahaha). Thankfully it didn't rain that day although the sky's gloomy. And the participation rate of both volunteers and seniors are very high! Became a freshie leader leading the senior volunteers and the folks. Basically we took a walk in the orchid garden which hosts many species of orchids and other plants, playing games, singing xmas carols in between. The folks in our group were lively and participated actively in all the activities, especially the lady who sings very well, can't remember her name. Would like to thank the folks, as well as the volunteers in my group who helped take care of the folks as well as to help us navigate our way through the park. :)
Back to main point. On New Years eve last week, my group and I visited Mdm Ho. Mdm Cheong wasn't around so we stayed at Mdm Ho's place all the way until the visit ended. And so we helped her clean her flat by cleaning the windows, the floor and wiping off dust from table tops and surfaces. Something I learnt: don't be afraid to ask for things like window keys; I was asked to clean the windows but the grills were locked. I tried to improvised by using a pole to stretch to the external side of the window which obviously didn't work. So Ken asked me to ask Mdm Ho for the key hahaha. When we were done, we gathered around (there was a large group of us, about 10) and chatted with her.
Next visit's tomorrow! It will be 大扫除 to prepare for the upcoming lunar new year. Cya all then!
