Once upon a time....

a random conversation after our visit created this story (characters used are those who turned up fo visit on 15Jan2011).

------------------

Once upon a time.....Priscilla and Adeline finally got their HongLi (bonus) USD1million from the company - Derrick Pte Ltd they have worked for years...so they decided to share this piece of good news (share news only, not share the $$) with their Wanjun biao mei (cousin)..

*PING PING PANG PANG BOOOOM BOOOOM* <--- thunderstorm

unfortunately, it was raining heavily and they couldnt get to wanjun's place... instead they took shelter at Yi An Chen (takashimaya)

obviously, Yi An Chen is a very sian place,and the rain die die also bu hui ting (huiting), so they decided to buy a Ken(Can) of Ying Cong (7-up).

*GONG XI LAO YE, HE XI LAO YE*

Adeline and Priscilla hengheng won (past tense of wynne?) Ying Cong Pte Ltd first prize - a Shi tian (Shitien) Jiu Ye (10days9nights) Zhenxiu (sewing) course.

And they lived happily ever after. The End. ***clap clap****

---------------

So.. i also dunno why we are blogging this story..hahaha.

Anyway, wanna take this chance to say my last words (choy choy. slap my mouth) before leaving for peking duck.

Yea people, must enjoy yourself for the following 153days while i enjoy my peking duck. It would be good if you guys can help me with the following issues :

1) convince Mdm Ho that i really never steal her curtain pegs. yesh, i never.

2) continue to let Mdm Cheong rmb me as Huang Mei Nv (and forget abt liang mei nv)

3) do not change the angmoh name "johnny" i gav mr tan!

4) email me often to remind me not to eat too much. i want to come back with double chin (dont want to upsize to triple chin)

5) update this blog often so when im sick and tired of peking duck and start to miss home and t.h.e. i can read this blog

6) tag me in cny celebration photos (i'll try all means to use fb even in beijing! if i comment on the photos = good for me =D )

7) enjoy your every visit!

8) wipe the window until it has the 'ekk ekk' sound!

Visit and Outing on 8th Jan

Dressed up and ready to go

Trying too hard to smile

My first TOUCH

Actually i never blog before, forgive me if i did anything wrong ya.

This was my first time joining the T.H.E seniors, it was quite fun and interesting except one unpleasant incident happened. Due to my recklessness, the detergent went into my eyes and i have to suffer the pain for the whole day.

However, i think that the people seem happy when seeing us, especially Mr Tan ( I am not sure did i remember correctly his name), who would went to sing K with the team, seem to be very excited. I hope i will have a chance to go with you guys next time.

A successful blog~

ho ho ho, my turn to blog again. i know that it had been hard on you guys(my fans) during my hiatus and i certainly hope that yearning for me had not taken toll on your physical being or soul.

As usual, after gathering we shuffled into 3 different dialect groups and something not as usual, i decided to join the canto group. Part of the reason being they were lacking in numbers and the other part being i had not really a chance yet to interact with the elderly in the canto group so... why not?

Pit stop 1:
Mdm chua
When we knocked on her doors she was drying her clothes so naturally we lent her a helping hand.


pc and wj having fun mopping the floor and cleaning windows

Her happy face should tell a lot about the excellent quality of our work, or i hope it will. haha.

Pit stop 2:
Mdm Chow Moi

Her place was unexpectedly clean and she said that she can take care of the household chores so we sat down and checked on her well-being amidst the chit chat session.

As always, she gleamed with pride whenever she showed us her alcoholic obsession(some hua tuo tonic wine).

Pit stop 3:
Mdm Cheong

One thing that I've learnt, Mdm Cheong is a cheong-ster. She already has a list of the tasks she needs help with in her mind, and without wasting any precious time she assigns each of us a task the moment we entered her apartment. She has her standards to keep up to and will not hesitate to point out your mistakes if you have done it the wrong way.

And the end product? Everything done neatly in the shortest possible time. She will not skimp on extending her hospitality so you can expect her to invite you to have a seat the moment she is satisfied with your work.

Everything was in a rush at Mdm Cheong's place so i forgot to take a group photo. haha. =P

And so the visitation ends, thank you ladies and gentlemen.

xoxo,
i know you love me.

Yours sincerely

long time no see! :)

Having been busy with exams for the last few weeks, I was very happy to visit our elderly friends again! :) I'll just give a brief update on Mdm Tan and Mdm Ho, whom we visited.

Mdm Tan was rather chatty that day, telling us about the braised pork she cooked the previous day and asking us to help her install the batteries of the portable emergency gadget (which took us a long time to figure how to open the battery compartment :P). She also asked if we knew of any news about government pay-outs as there was an announcement on the radio regarding the matter. However, as the news was in Teochew, we could not understand it but promised to check it up for her. Although she lamented that she could not join the rest for outings because of her failing eyesight, she still joins the other elderly for activities in the SAC, which is comforting because at least she still remains active and not coop herself up in her flat all the time. As she complained about recent recurring headaches on one side (which may be migraine), I think we’ll have to keep an eye on her condition.

Mdm Ho looked sunken as compared to the last time I saw her. However, she was happy to see all of us. All 26 of us SQUEEZED into her flat and took group photos with her. She was very sporty as she didn’t mind taking many shots, and she also asked for copies of the photos taken. As usual, she shared with us photos she took with our volunteers and told many stories.

Can’t wait for the Christmas celebrations next Saturday! Hope the elderly will enjoy themselves! :)

Yinmin :)

well well. yi an's post gt many pictures. so i think im here to bore u guys.

i was there early, attended the volunteer training for approximately 1 hr before joining the rest for usual visiting. i hope the HCA, L-elderly Befrienders volunteers had enjoyed the training as much as our T.H.E Seniors volunteers do.

Guess i will just update bits on Mdm Tan. Her spectacles is spoil again. During the conversation, it was heartwarming when you knew that the thing u did for her was much appreciated by her. (There was once when Boon yong and I tried to repair her glass n succeeded.) Unfortunately, the specs spoils again, cannot be repaired and she insist not to get it repaired. It is very disheartening when she say she was not given the tickets for admission to events organised by certain communities. Reason being, her eyesight not good, then the people don't give her the free ticket. I do not think such discrimination should exists. They should be given a chance to enjoy as much as others do.

Exams coming. Exams coming. Exams comingggggg...

knowing everyone chionging the project deadlines and revising hard, please take good care of yourselves ya. (:

All the best for exams.! Jy people.
