CIP- visit to Ju Eng Nursing Home
CIP- Ju Eng Nursing Home
0609 consist of late kings & queens. we shld be called the late 0609 of nyjc. haha. the cip starts at 2pm but we meet at 12.30. left at 1 plus in the end. waste time & waste time...
there were few tasks to do. store. kitchen. interaction.
as most of us do not know dialects, nobody want to volunteer for interaction. how nice. so peu, me & ah wan raised our hands. yonghan was asked to join us later.
i can only say we were at a loss when we stepped out of the lift. dunno whr & how to start.
tried talking to the senior citizens. i can sense the loneliness in their eyes. so poor thing leh all of them.
theirs is really called no life ok. young pple like us, mugging is NOT NO LIFE.
the senior citizens there have breakfast at 10am, 2 hrs of exercise (not active ones though, cos they're mostly sick), have lunch at 12+, teabreak at 1.30pm, dinner at 5pm, & back to their rooms. the routines starts every single day, in the same way.
oh my..imagine how sian they are! can't eat or do wat they like..bounded by their illness & inconveniences..&..the nurses.
i think we may have more ai xin den the nurses there la..some..i'm not saying all..
everyone will grow old someday..we shld treat them with all the care with have. imagine ourselves growing old..nobody showers love on us..how meaningless life can become rite..jus living day by day..waiting to die. no good.
ok dunno why i din get to talk to teochew or hokkien elders. i keeo running into hainanese & cantonese. dun unstd wat they talking abt, but we've to appear interested & pretend tt we unstd.
some keep repeating wat they say..so jus pretend u're listening it for the FIRST time.
some jus keep speaking to us in malay when she noes alot of dialects as well as chinese..so jus nod our heads & smile.
there's one 80+ ah ma shook my hand & held it so tightly. i was abit afraid, but had to remain calm & keep smiling. somehow when i sayang-ed her shoulder, she loosened her grip..
den talk abit..told me it was her bday. i sang her a bday song but was interrupted halfway.
maybe my singing sucks but ahh nvm.hahas.
den she sang me the 'u're my sunshine..my only sunshine..' song, & some others songs which i couldn't make out wat she was singing.
dunno why leh. but i feel that touch is quite impt to make them feel u're close & u care.
though we may not like doing cip, but since we're there..we shld show them our empathy..
that's the least we can do for them. feel quite good after that. though i washed my hands alot of times. hees.
