Hello minna-san!!!

Today was an eventful day....Approximately half the class went for SL project, which is a visit to ling kwang home.

I was at the serangoon garden circus first and i check the bus board...came to realise that the other time i did not take the wrong bus or wrong direction! It states under bus service 136 that the bus actually service in two direction, to amk and punggol interchange. So, the last time i took the one going towards amk and not punggol...ahhh...did not check the bus service plate the last time...luckily i did not make the same mistake as last time..haha..yay!

I wonder if we were of help to the volunteers there...first, i was assigned to help a few elderlys walk a short distance and help them put on the foot paddles to "cycle". Following that, xp and i went into the rehab room and we helped to push the wheelchair of some elderlys to their respective "stations" to train the hands so as to gain strength.

Thereafter, a few of us went to help the volunteers to sit up the older patients. They are the ones whereby they could neither get off the bed easily nor roll over the beds. So, our job is to help them sit up for 15 minutes. It was seriously not easy as they may lean forward or backward and our arms will have to be stationary for 15 minutes. Our muscles really ache a little after helping 3 elderlys to sit up.

Lastly, we went to the hall and help to conduct a few activities...Like, play ball, walk, pulleys, paddle etc. Shermaine and thomas was playing the piano at some point of time and one elderly also played a piece, it was really nice^^

Yup, so that is all for today and i will have to start holiday hwk now if not notime le!!! matta ne!!!
