Spring Cleaning and a New Elderly

Spring Cleaning and a New Elderly

Meet Uncle Lee!


Chinese New Year is coming! Done your spring cleaning already? Well, for LB we’ve helped some of them to do so. I must admit, even my own spring cleaning at home isn’t so thorough (guess this applies to most of us, yea? :P)

Cleaning up the walls and windows


Lucky Victor got all the girls while the rest of us guys, well... went to visit a new elderly, Uncle Lee (who is actually pretty nice). He speaks English, so we shouldn’t have much problem communicating with him. He has been staying there since April 04, so nearly three years already. He isn’t at home most of the time, as he actually goes down to a CC in Chinatown, just around 20 min journey. In fact he spends nearly the whole afternoon there till evening, playing chess and joining other activities organized. Occasionally he will go down to the hawker centre to watch documentaries or live soccer matches. Do note that he has some difficulty hearing, so might have to talk louder to him. Anyways, we helped him cleaned up the house and he treated us to some sweets and 'love letters' that we nearly cleared for him as well. haha..

Finding out more about our new elderly


After that, we were joined by the rest of the group, and played the never-ending game, improvised from the game, ‘Swap’. (Yeap, it’s the game we played during the LB outing). But it seems that the probability of winning is 0, cause after .5 hour, the game was still going on and on and on. So we had to make do with ‘the least cards win’. Then we had our usual BBS before ending our session.

Btw, do come for next week’s visit! Cause after that we will have a looooong break for Chinese New Year, and it will be only March that we will have our CNY celebrations (03/03).

Cya!
