interact on friday was great! heh heh. ended school at around two plus and waited for audrey before heading to sunlove home near bedok int. out of the five elderlys, the man in charge gave us two to choose from. then he spent around half an hour talking about their background. both are equally pitiful. but he gave us the one who was harder to handle. when we were just about to go up to her apartment, he warned us that she has a cat at home. then cheryl and audrey started saying no and didnt want to go up. haha so he changed us to the other one but later found out that she was attached to some other group alr. in the end we got this male elderly. before that we were like praying so hard that we wont get a male one..

but things were not what we expected lah. he is a super friendly guy and is someone who is very devoted to God. he goes to church at least once a week and keeps telling us that he is very grateful to God that he is able to come so far. then he started telling us about his family and his job last time. oh man he's so poor thing. he is the only one left in his family, his wife divorced him a few years ago and one of his two daughters passed away cos of an illness. the other one comes to visit him once a month and takes hold of all his money. so he is given a certain amount of money to spend every month, which is a few hundred dollars. and she never tells him much about her own life everytime she visited him. so he's sort of like left alone in this world. he said he got 想不开 before. but after he started to read all the buddhism books about the meaning of life, he began to take things easy. and now he's a happy person, though he feels lonely sometimes. and he knows alot of 谚语 which i havent heard of before. everytime he says one which i dont know, i will pretend to nod my head like as if i understand. haha what a failure in chinese man :/ but he will translate it for us after that lah ;)

so after we left i started reflecting on myself. maybe i should learn from him lah. his entire life is like a hundred times worse than mine and yet he is still able to take it so easy. while i'm like here getting fed up almost everytime a tiny bad thing happens -_-

ahaha this sounds like a reflections essay. i dunno what made me type all these also. maybe someone who wants me to change my stupid attitude is possessing me now. haha talking crap. i think i'm too influenced by the sidney sheldon's book which i just finished reading last night lah, about multiple personality disorder. and die i think i'm gonna become a stupid nerd bookworm. cos i carry the book almost everywhere i go. it's like so nice that i can't bear to put it down and read it afterwards. haha. but i shall stop. i dont want to become a nerd :/ okay, off to fix some breakfast for myself. my maid's on off-day today.... @_@
