visit to jamiyah nursing home.

haha we went to jamiyah nursing home at west coast drive. at first we were there and it was really quiet la. me and lynette were getting abit freaked out. its like at any moment someone can go BOO from behind the curtains. but after the initial discomfort, we all started getting down to work and were wheeling people around, helping out and chatting up with the old folk. i was kind of lost cos i cant really speak hokkien or cantonese or malay? jianlong can speak malay but he dint do anything!

then finally while i was loitering around, the nurse called me over and asked me to talk to this indian guy. and i found out that he was 91 years old this year and he came from southern india, he is a hindu and he is a vegetarian. we chatted for quite long? everyone else went away to do their own things, then i was still sitting there listening to him talk. i found it hard to go away as well, he seemed to have alot to say? he fought in the war and was stationed in sentosa, he came to singapore in 1933.

ahh he seemed so grateful that i had sat there and listened to him. quite touching. :D

then we left the home. and ooh guess what. we saw a *certain* someone rollerblading near the home. what a sweet gesture. awww. xD

cheers.
oh yeah common test is next week. o.0 gosh.
