Hello
everyone!
Please pardon me for the lousy
English used in the following sections LOL
My group (Me, Gillian, 小 Jo and Nicholas if I ever remember your name correctly ... sorryL) visited Mdm Chow Moi today. Though this is my first time visiting her, the
smile that she gave us when she opens the door doesn't feel unfamiliar at all. Glad
to see her being so cheerful as the rumors said.
Anyway, we
went into her house, requesting to help her clean her flat, but she insisted that
her flat is very clean and told us not to do so. She even tried to prove it by
lifting up her legs, saying that her sole is clean. As such we commence on our
snake making session. Though it was supposed to be a combined effort with the elderly, due to
some slight language barrier (My hokkien proficiency level is only so-so and
the rest can’t really speak), we never really get her involved. Nonetheless, we
tried to engage her while we are making the snake and decorations, asking for
her opinions and stuff. I guess she is really supportive because she keeps
giving us thumbs up haha (Y).
About half
an hour later, her daughter came to visit her, spending some quality time with
her while we are cutting, folding and making that New Year snake. I actually
feel quite bad as we didn’t interact a lot with her, as the visit is not to
make the snake but accompanying the elderly. Guess I will be more mindful of my
purpose of visit in future=( And thanks
to the snake, we wasted quite abit (actually a lot) of time, and we quickly
spent the last few minutes taking the video with her. The way she held the
oranges is kinda cute HAHA (vid below). And not forgetting that we waved at her from the 1st
storey, shouting ‘bye bye’ before we went for debrief. All in all, I feel
slightly guilty because we never really interact much with her, but still hope
she is happy due to our presence. I will be more mindful for the subsequent
visits okay? 等我 mdm Chow Moi!!
Signing off

大家新年快乐！！ ^^
