if shame had a face I think it would look like yours

Brand new experience

Today is the best day of the month! I went to Saint's Theresa Old Folks' Home with nise, ting, ying and water. I will never forget this day......

It starts with....
Early in the morning 6 O'clock, I woke up, brushed my teeth, took a bath, packed my bag, and went to school. And I was not late just now, alright.

Then, the 5 of us went to Beauty World after completing our assignments. The 4 lovely ladies accompany me to make my debit card from OUB. How nice of them!

Here's the 4 of them plus me, top row from left to right-Yue ting and Water, bottom-Denise, Hui Ying and ME!!

Anyway, soon after we finished eating at Beauty World (Cha Cha Cha), we took a bus down to Saint Theresa's Home. At first, I'm a little unwilllingly to go. Coz, I'm really very sleepy! But after awhile , I think it's alright.

When we reached there, the people really welcome us. Especially Lily!! She told us to wait at the sitting area. Then, there came this guy, he definitely doesn't look friendly, and he asked us what we are doing here. We told him the reason and he walked off.

The next moment what we know is that Lily came out and told us that there was a little problem. The guy, Victor, doesn't seem happy with the letter our lecturer has wrote. I guess superior always like to have "mian zi" (face). He thinks that our lecturer is commanding him rather than calling up to ask. And he was really fed up. He said the the problem doesn't lies with us, it's the lecturer, and that he is not sure whether he's gonna let us do our project.

At that moment, I was thinking a lot of stuff, like what Denise has thought, as a catholic, I'm sure they are taught to give and take every single day. But why can't he do so? Furthermore, he is an adminstrator who works for a church, who help out at the church. I keep on praying and hoping that he would allow us to do our project because THIS IS OUR LAST CHANCE!! So desperate for something, kena rejected so many times alrdy.

Eventually, he agrees. We were very glad!! Of course. So, we went to the physio department and helped out. Water and hui ying went with a lady(francheslica or sth like that). Yue Ting went off with Margret(I think). I am with a very friendly auntie. And Denise went off with this guy (in-charge). Anyway, I went to the AH GONG side, they all went to the AH MA side.

That Auntie bring me to the dining area where all the guys old folks have their tea break. When I enter the room, the room definitely doesn't smells good. A little mixture of medicine and urine smell. (still bearable)

The auntie told me that we are supposed to help Simon, to do some simple exercises, play games, etc. So she showed him to me. Simon suffered from stroke and fell down twice.

When Auntie told him my name, he said "Ni Hao" to me, using great effort. Can hear that it is not easy for him to say something. When he said thank you to me, with all his effort, I almost cry, it is like, they get contented easily, and I didn't really do much stuff.

At first, I didn't really know how to communicate with him, so I just listen to what auntie told him. Then I play a matching game with him. Soon, Hui ying and Water came, they each push a AH MA in. The 2 AH MA looks very fragile, but also cute at the same time.

Hui Ying and Water start massaging their leg and fingers for them. I look at the way Uncle Simon look at them, makes me wanna help him too. So, auntie took some medicated oil, gloves and towel for me, and I start to massage for Uncle Simon. I asked him how he feels, and he said, " I FEEL SHIOK". I was really very glad! And every few minutes, he would say thank you to me. I really feel like crying but at the same time, I felt joyness.

This is Uncle Simon.

Then, I see how they guide him to walk, but he cannot really stand up straight. And his ankle is swollen, which make him difficult to place his foot flat on the floor. I really want to help, but I can't.

Time passed very fast. It's time to say good-bye. And Uncle Simon finally remembered my name! And we bid good-bye to them.

This would definitely be an unforgettable memory for me!

Dedicated to nana and denise

I was a little late for DEL class today. When I enter the class, I saw him. Wearing the same T-shirt I wore the day before. First person I've noticed is him.

Anyway, I'm feel really bad, cos I've promised Denise I'd finish the assignment but I did not. Sorry. That's why I'm doing it now.

And during our break time, Denise, nana and I talked about motivations to make us slim down. I guess we really should. In this materialistic world, there's no such thing as love when you're fat. We judge everything by its looks. I really think it's very unfair.

I really don't wanna compare myself to all the pretty, slim girls out there. Really makes me feel very inferior. And I thought my life is almost perfect cos there are wonderful friends around me. But perhaps I'm wrong. I think I'm really very insignificant, whether I'm there or not, it does not make a difference. I might as well be gone.

There are some people that changes you in life. For me, the first person who change my life is Cindy Lee, my primary school mate. She taught me how to be bold and not to get bullied by others. I changed from a timid and soft-spoken person to someone who dares to rebut. Really wanna thank her. The second person have changed me to a stronger person, and taught me not to assume, "make an ASS out of U & ME = ASSUME".

So, now, I'm not going to let others feel oblige to ask me out. I've realised that it's their choice. Just like why I chose Strawberry flavour to Chocolate flavour.

ANYWAY! I AM DETERMINED TO SLIM DOWN. SO, DENISE AND NANA, I'LL PESTER YOU GUYS. BE PREPARED! :)
