5th April: My 3rd Visit
Posted by CSC T.H.E. Seniors on Tuesday, April 08, 2014 with No comments
On the 5th of april, as mentioned elsewhere in the other entries, it was raining in the morning. Thankful that the rain died down a bit towards the later part of the morning!
This was only my 3rd time visiting the elderly of the kallang bahru region, and this time I got to know Mdm. C.S.K.! Contrary to my previous visits, Mdm. C. was proficient only in the Cantonese dialect - while I was more fluent in Hokkien! Thus, I was thankful that Shuang Shuang was had a great command of the Canton dialect, and she managed to have frutiful conversations with Mdm. C..
Mdm. C. turned out to be rather talky and friendly, just like the previous elderlys I have met in my first two visits. Most memorably, she was so enthusiastic to show us her photo albums and she shared very openly about her past and her present. Really grateful that she was open to tell me all these though it was only my first time seeing her. Turns out she has quite a social life! With many programmes lined up throughout the day.
On a sidenote, I also managed to meet Mr. T. whilst he was with some of the other volunteers. Had a very fruitful conversation with him about God, and was glad that he had such a welcoming disposition to hear and converse with me. It was a fruitful time spent indeed!
