i just came back from doing service at the old folks home :)) i really love doing service there. next week we are going to help to bring the elderly to the polling station so they can cast their votes. :)) super excited :D
there was this this lady who had cancer in her urinary tract area and despite that, she was still very very optimistic. i respect her for that. :)) i really respect every single person because they have so much life stories to tell and so much that i can learn from them. they have been through life longer than i have.
many of them regretted not studying harder when they were younger. oh, many also complained about the increasing cost of living in Singapore. I was speaking to this man and he was telling me that the government only gives him $30 for his monthly allowance. Of course, the government paid for his stay there too. But he was telling me how having $1 a day is not enough. He said it wasn't even enough for him to drink 1 cup of coffee (which costs $1.10). He said his medical expenses can come up to $500 a month, which he obviously could not afford. :(
I talked to many others too. While some were very optimistic (actually few), many were just waiting for death to come to them. they will usually just stone there until someone talks to them and they will not talk to each other. So practically, everyday becomes a stoning session. :(
oh, i found out today that some of them were from woodbridge. they seem perfectly normal to me though.

eeks. i shall go do my GP now. there is another video to watch. :)) yay.
