on 23/02/2008...
We (the parliamen members) had organized a visit to the Calvary Old Folks House situated at Tanjung Aru.
To show my gratitude to the programme , yup,I mean "show"...
haha...I am the only person reached there at the most early time of the day...haha..
That day was a rainy day...the breeze chilled to my bone...plus that I was alone at that time...damn scary some time...hahaha...juz kidding...
At about 8am,everyone started to show up.
Then at 8.45am,we all made our way to the destination.
Mei yun,Yeeling and Zin lu waiting to pass the time.
Upon reaching there,we all first introduced ourself to the old folks there.
The first activity was "Give them a good time by chatting and get to know their biography".
We (Lau,Elson,Kwong and me) went to a lady sitting on a chair and we started to talk to her (Mrs.Loh).
We kept asking a lot questions...but there was time when all of us started to "having conversation" by eye contact...zzzzzz....it happened when sudden silence occured...haha...I am still not used to socialize well with people that I do not know well...
There are about 12 people live there...some of them are having serious sickness while some are still healthy and strong...
We try to neglect to ask the question of "Why are you staying here?" ...for sure they will fell sad and started to recall their memories...nostalgia...

The second activity...the entertaining part...
Mei Yun recited a poem named "康乃馨" / "Carnation"...yup,the flowers that best to represents the love of a mother.
Everyone listened so carefully and more importantly it touched most of the people there...even though some of them didn't know well about chinese...haha...
After that,Mei Yun and Yee Ling sang a song entitled "月亮代表我的心“ /"the moon represents my heart"...a very popular song sang by Teresa Teng...
wow...their combination of voices...the lapping of propagation of different wave with different frequency..it just happened to be so nice and wonderful...no doubt about it...
Mei Yun with her steady high tone plus Yee Ling harmony bass tone...Perfect !
The "prize" giving ceremony.

In the end,the teacher in charge gave away ang pow and some groceries to everyone of them...
The activity ended at 10am.
I felt some kind of sympathy to them for a reason that they are "abandoned" by their beloved ones to live there. Where is the Humanity? Where is Love?
Sometime when you think if the same to happen to yourself,what would you do?
Yup,it takes a long time to think about it.
We should not have let this happen.
The key word here is "LOVE"...thanks to Sab for always talking about "Love to God"...for more info please refer to Sabrina's blog...
Love our parents,Love your friends,Love everyone,and too Love yourself.
