The charity houses that are listed for us is St Nicholas Home Penang, Lam Wah Ee hospital, handicapped children's centre penang,and Old Folks Home Penang.We are supposed not to choose where we are going. BUT, I, Shafinaz, Kaklong(suhan), and Sakinah did choose where we are going.Wer choose to go to The Old Folks Home. =) YEAAAYYY!! I am just soooooo excited to give them a visit on wednesday!
WEDNESDAY,20th of October 2010:
I arrived at school at about 7.15 a.m. I thought that we are leaving for the trip at 7.30 BUT we did not. =.=. The headmistress ask us to join the assembly that is held on that morning.So..after the assembly *about 8.30* we FINALLY get to move to our bus. I sat with Shafinaz Yassin on the bus.They gave us two pack of biscuits and a bottle of mineral water. FINALLY we arrived there after sending a group of students to the handicapped children centre. So , when we arrive there a blue uniformed nurse named Miss Eng brief us about the centre and activities that we need to do on that day. We are again divided into wo groups. One of the group need to clean the window and another group which I am in, is given a free time. So what my group basically do is, talking and with the old grannys and granpas in the place. We went for to their room and talk with them.
This is the first "AUNTY " that we went to talk to.I don't remember her name. We talk about eat, sleep, medication, and WAR! This aunty is 86 years old and we can hardly see her white hair! She actually looks younger than her age. She told us us that her father once, used to be working with the Japanise *TRAITOR!!*
Suhaida ,Ayuni, and a few of my friends went to talk to this granny. She tought them how to speak mandarin. Cool rite? HAHA.She actually REALLY looks like my grandma.
This Aunty above is ...uhm..she can't walk or hold thing properly because she was born like that.BUT she has a very kind heart and speaks to us friendly.
Ada satu part tu nenek ni nyanyi dekat kita orang! BEST!
This aunty above actually make a joke to us: she said that,"orang tua laaa yg ada gigi macam kamu semuaaa, saya macam baby ada gigi dua sajaaa..saya lagi muda dari kamu semuaa.." well when she said that.. is was actually very funny. She is also VERY shy when I ask her to take picture with us. She is shy because she had only two teeth. HAHA.
Tengok! nenek ni Friendly kan!?
So,next, we went to meet this aunty. To be honest I can hardly understand what she is saying. what i can do for her is just smiling and nodding. She is really nice to us. =). What I know is she really likes Kaklong(suhana)
So, at the end of the trip, we went to see this uncle. He is called ABDULLAH BADAWI by his friends. COOL rite? HAHA. He is the only one muslim in this old folks home. We went to meet him to ask him about HOW HE ACTUALLY FALL IN LOVE WITH ISLAM, but I really dont know what he answers *not focussing to him*.HAHA.He showed us his notes of al-fatihah written on a piece of paper.
THURSDAY,21st of October 2010:
HEY GRannys and Grandpas! WE ARE BACK! So today we went to search for the head nurse to divide our duties,BUT sadly the nurse is not in! so we went to see the other nurse and she told us to wipe the windows and the beds.So, we did it.
HAHA saya dan sakinah tgh sibuk mengelap besi katil neneknenek di sini.
After the cleaning up, we went to serve food for them.They ate bee-hoon and porage and soup. I actually get the chance of feeding a gandma there. From what the nurse said, the grandma is blind and she cannot walk and eat herself. So, after feeding her, I and sakinah took her to her bed. *it was hard to look for her bed BECAUSE HER BED DOES NOT HAVE A NAME CARD ON IT!* after all, we managed to find her bed and let her sleep
comfortably.
Lastly we went to fold the cloths at the laundry. =)
FRIDAY, 22nd of October 2010:
Today is the last day of our visit to the old folks home. I really hope that this is NOT the last time i'll come and visit this place.
The activities that we do today is PLAYING BINGGO! FUN!
Shafinaz and I helped an old granny to play Binggo! We played for 4 rounds, but we did not win at all! It is just FRUSTRATING! because I really want to win for this granny. tapi nak buat macam man x da nasib..
We went to visit this aunty again today. She told us about how she dislikes wearing a pampers and how she caught a man not fasting in a fasting month.=.=
Lastly, we went to meet this beautiful lady. HAHA she is cute and really look like my granny.
Nenek ni tengah asyik bercerita! BES OOOO
The First impression when she first saw me is that, ' Lu orang cina ka??' haha. I said 'tak lah aunty.' She said that I really look like a chinese lady and ask me weather I can speak mandarin. HAHA. Obviously I am a Malay and doesnt look like a chinese right??I had a really nice time Chit-chatting with this auty. She told lots and lots of story to us. She told us about how she live during the Japanese War time. She also told us about the 'bad behaviour' of her friend and ask us to talk to her! *that part is really funny* I am really going to miss you aunty. Really.
