Skool was awesome as always. The main highlight of today was the CIP programme. My group didn't plan anything to do but we still end up enjoying & learning alot of stuffs from our stay there. & i even almost cried man. Gosh, i don't believe it myself. A person like me, crying. The last time i cried was like wat? 3 years ago?
Went there & we talked to some people there. Some of them didn't want to talk coz u know it's like they feel they are useless that kinda thing. So we just gave them this origami heart we made. I talked to some of them & 2 of them really went right into my heart.
1st case,This lady was borned on 1920 plus. So she had experience the Japanese occupation. She told me all the stories she encountered in her life & it was really awful, seriously. She can't move her legs & arms before she went to this hospital & she told me she totally gave up on living. "I couldn't move my arms or legs. I felt so useless....I just wished i would die." Those are the exact words she used. & there i was standing beside Bakri while wiping tiny weenie tears from my eyes.
2nd case,This lady was borned in 1910 plus if i'm not wrong. She alrdy had grand grand childrens. She told me her lifestory & it will be too long to type everything. I talked to her for 2 hours for god's sake. I even addressed her as nenek. I nvr had a chance to talk to my grandmother or father & i finally felt like that was my grandmother. She even called me cucu! =)
Call me crazy but i love it when she calls me that. You know i always watched on TV there will be this young boy listening to his grandmother telling stories. I was finally that boy in that story. It was sad to see them in that state but we finally got to leave the place. =(
Alep, me, Bak & man took alot lot lot of pictures while waiting for the bus. Super funny. & here's a funny incident. We were going to meet the elderly but man, me, alep & bak was going to take a photo at the entrance of the place. Mr Ow came,
Mr Ow: Alright, c'mon let's go let's go. *looks angry*
Dosh: Ah! Mr Ow! Come! Join us!
Mr Ow: Okay okay *looks at the camera & smiles*
Haha! & training was fun. Zuhaili was competing against me. Shall not tell who won! haha! damn ovious rite? I went back home & i just hugged my mum telling her how much i love her. I really don't want her to end up like those elderly at the hospice. I'm not criticising them, I just don't want my mum to end up living waiting to die.
I LOVE YOU MUMMY!
