I'll start with Monday then. What can I say about Monday? As much as I try, I can't remember much of what had happened in school. I do remember Ju Eng Home though...something that I can't forget about for many years to come... As part of our Community Involvement Programme (CIP, for short), we were to visit a home for the elderly, Ju Eng Home.
Some of us played football with the lower Secondary students while waiting for the bus heading for Ju Eng Home and to our utter disbelief, Shouheng SCORE TWO GOALS. IT WAS JUST HIS FIRST TIME PLAYING FOOTBALL EVER AND HE SCORED. TALK ABOUT LUCK!
The majority of us did regret playing football after that though. We were sweaty, thirsty and stinky. Especially Vijay. He had rushed to the toilet to wash himself up but when he return, he still stink! And much to our horror, THAT BASTARD CHANGED ON THE BUS. Cameras started snapping and there were screams of "AHHHH!!! STINK BOMB!!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!" here and there. Fortunately, he didn't take his sweet time to change though; We would have all fainted by the time we reached Ju Eng Home.
Ju Eng Home wasn't what we had expected though. I was with the Interaction crew and when we'd reached the 2nd floor, we were in a shock. Sitting there in rows of tables were the elderly. We weren't shocked by them or their sitting arrangement actually. We were more shocked by the expression on their faces. Some had the look of delight. Of having someone to talk to. Some had the look of fear. Fear of what this group of teenagers would do to them. While others had the look of longing. Of remembering their own sons and daughters. I couldn't help feeling for them. Couldn't help but think why would a son or a daughter send their own parents to an old folks' home.
At the beginning, we were fearful of them. We were afraid that they would ignore what we say or that we wouldn't understand what they say. But after awhile, we eventually got used to the place and began to act more naturally. We ended our 2 hour visit to Ju Eng Home by singing/humming along with Vitamin C's Graduation Song, beautifully (if I can say so myself... ;P) accompanied by Elijah and Soshi's guitar strumming. I really hope that we could remain friends forever like in the lyrics of the song...
After the visit to Ju Eng Home, I went for tuition and on my way back from tuition, I saw this:
Was pretty disgusted when I passed by it but I still couldn't help but to snap this photo down. :P
Found a plastic plane on my brother's bed when I'd got home. I was surprised by how far it could fly so I decided to see what happens if you throw it vertically while lying down. In the end, the plane came crashing down onto my head. Ow! Heres a picture of the aeroplane:
Ooh! And before I forget. Heres photos of the birthday card my brother made for my mom (Happy Birthday, Mum...!):
Open! Open! Open! Open...the card! :D
Surprise! :)
I got addicted to Malay! :P Probably being influenced by our 'half-malay half-chinese' friend Kenrick, I started to learn Malay too. Here are a few words I learnt so far:
Do Not (Restricting) - Jangan
I - Saya (when speaking to someone of higher authority) / aku (when speaking to friends)
Toliet - Tandas / Bilik Air
Need - Perlu
Go - Pergi
Fart - Kentut
Urine - Kencing
Know - Tahu
Love - Sayang
Allow - dibenarkan
Do Not - Tidak
To - Ke
Like you know like that - Macam Faham
Hopefully, I will remember all this words...just have fun and mix and match the words! Example, I do not need to go toliet - Aku tidak perlu ke pergi tandas. :) Had fun with these few words today. Tell me if theres anything wrong with them though!
