Had a tiring and long day yesterday but it was definitely worthwhile =]
Guoyan has been asking me to go down for some volunteering the past few weeks. But i've been rather busy. Finally yesterday, i took the time down.
The five of us, Gillian, Claris, Guoyan, Wei Wen and myself was suppose to meet at Marsilling, 1.15pm. But in the end, there was only me and wei wen and the in-charge who is driving us to the home. The rest were late. We waited almost like 45mins!! And yet, Gillian is still not in sight.
Wei wen and i left with Joseph (one of the ic) to the home first because the elderly needs to eat. Leaving Anthony (another ic) and Guoyan to wait for Gillian. While, Claris is going down straight herself.
The 3hours spent there was fun! During lunch time, some of us helped to cut the food into smaller pieces while the others brew coffee and tea. Music was being played in the dining hall. Which causes an elderly to dance along with the song Beat It by Michael Jackson.
There were 2 other elderly fighting over some minor stuff. Basically spitting at each other, but to be honest there weren't much saliva being spitted out. And there's this elderly trying to be the mediator waving his hands between them to stop the commotion. Hahaha.
Next, we brought some of the elderly for a walk. The guy that i was in-charge of was funny. Along the way, we passed by some coffee shop and he went around saying hi to people and giving them hi-5. What really gave me a laugh was that, we took a break at a coffee shop and i asked the elderly, "What do you want to drink" (in hokkien) and he answered swiftly "Peisi Cola". hahahaha. Maybe you would think its not funny but you really had to be there to witness that scene. Its totally LOL.
Anyway, after the volunteering, we proceeded with our plan. Weiwen, and myself followed Gillian back home to get the Chicken Wings that her mom had prepared. While, Guoyan left with Claris back home to prepare pizza!!
After getting the wings, we went Cold Storage to get some drinks and snacks. After we're done with the shopping, we took a cab down to Claris condo at Hillview. Back at there, Gouyan was busy preparing his pizza. While waiting for him, we played the movie "Dirty Dancing". And when dinner was ready, we got all the food laid on the table and start munching! There's pizza, soup, fries, wings all homemade. I hate to say but i have to say, Gouyan's culinary skills is unsurpassed. His pizza and soup was delicious but the fries was a little "soft" but it was still quite okay.
Played another movie "The Italian Job". And we sat in the cosy living room watching and munching on our snacks. After the movie it was already, 12midnight. Luckily, ive got a direct bus back home.
It was a long day but i really had fun =]
