Meaningful Event

This afternoon, i went to attend the befrienders event briefing at Teachers' Network, Grange Road. There are abt 110 pple who volunteered for this event and we were to visit some elderly who stayed in one room flat in Ang Mo Kio area. Nellie and I paired as one team to visit two flats. The first family was rather reserved. Mother and daughter stayed together and they are christian family and saw the bible in their house. The elderly lady may have some hearing difficulties and we asked her some questions. The second elder is one gg to turn 80 next mth. He was friendly and welcomed us to his flat. He was rather active in his younger days and previously worked as a driver. His favourite pastime is singing and watched DVDs. He also mentioned that he has spent thousand over dollars on the disc. Nellie may not be so tactful in asking some questions. No choice, was paired with her for the first time. Not sure of her intention on such event. Felt that sincerity comes first in such event or scenario. I am not saying that i am very sincere and at least, my intention comes from the sincerity in my heart. When i was young, grandma always tell me abt her visit to old folks' home in Old Upper Thomson Road and i have visited that old folks' home during festive occasions. There were my memories of grandma and the elderly over there. I wish to continue grandma's wish to pay attention to the elderly. I will also age gradually and when that day, i will be still happy to be an elder haha...
