I am so happy because I went to the Geylang East Home for the Aged today. Sandy, Joanne, Alien and Natalie were there too. The conditions of the elderly there were not as bad as those in man fatt lam. At least arnd 80% of them can still walk and talk. We brought them to the neighbourhood because there’s an event there today – Senior citizens’ week and deeparaya. However, some had to stay there because their movement were not convenient.

I think we neglected those inside the room because everyone was just outside and leaving the rest inside by their own. I really don’t know why their children don’t want them when they are healthy and fit. Is it because they are too old and their children have to dump them there? Over there, I somehow felt loneliness. Nat and I actually saw one woman sitting on the chair staring into blank space for more than 2 hours WITHOUT a single soul talking to her. Manpower not enough? I doubt so. There were 19 ppl there. If only I was fast enough to think, the both of us should just go in and talk to her. Haiz. Such an irony. I was saying I was happy before I post and now, I feel sad.

I still got so many things to be done.
