Long hours in school have been replaced by a trip t toapayoh, t visit elderly's home & t lend a listening ear & a helping hand. 3 hampers were brought up t th old lady's house &it was kinda ackward and all at first. But gradually, we got comfortable.
She was a canto & none of us in th group knew how t speak thr dialect &we had no idea hw t ask her where is her bucket &mop. Then, Eva called her dad & ask. We babbled a sentence of chinese cum canto.
Then th old lady replied"Ni men ke yi jiang hua yu." &we were like cheyyy. Hahah. &She knows how t speak in Hokkien too, this makes communicating even easier, even though its not tht fluent.
Listened t her talk about her past & all, while they scrubed th floor. Then while talking, th old lady suddenly teared, which made me do th same, idk why.
Ah, she's 85 & her eldest son is 71. &Out of th 6 children she have, only 2 comes back t visit her. After all th she have done for her children & survived th world war 2, only 2 comes back. Seriously ungrateful brat sia.
Spent an hour and a half talking t her (:
We did leave a sovenier for her, & its currently pasted on her wall. One was coloured by me :D
