yesterday, i went with carissa, amanda and fazilah to an old folks home to do service there. it was a much much more rewarding experience than tutoring children. the old folks there were so so nice to talk to. hehehe. :) so approachable :)) you know, i always had this misconception that they are there because either they were abused by their children or because their children didn't want them anymore. i was wrong. through the conversations with them, i found out that most of them were there because their children had to work and had no time to take care of them. their children will then take them home to stay for 1 week every month. during school holidays, their children will also bring them on holidays. :)) oh another thing i found out, there was an old man there who was from ACSI originally. hehehe. super cool please. :)) also, he told me how he chased his wife. i love talking to them, partially because i love talking to people. :)) this service allowed me to clear some misconceptions of them. cannot wait for the next session!!! the old folks there are SUPER funny and nice to talk to. :))
