Over the weekend, I
visited Mr Tay for the first time. This is the first time I interact with a
visually impaired elderly. Therefore, I did not speak out a lot and let the
more experienced volunteers do the interaction. While doing the usual
activities, I was amaze by how Mr Tay can recount his past experience in such vivid
manner that he seems to live right in the moment of his story. He also seems to
find pleasure in life’s small gift. The expression of satisfactory when he
drank his simple cup of coffee was priceless. It strikes me hard about how this
society has become, a society that is always in a rush and does not reminisce. Mr
Tay taught me to slow down the pace of life, at least for the holidays and live
in every moment, what I have forgotten and relearnt from the precious gems of
the society- the elderlies.
