LB visit (14/07/07)

Yoz people,

There were some new faces at LB today, from E4 (including freshies and some erm... older seniors as well). As usual, we were split up into our different dialect groups.

As usual, my group went to visit Blind sisters. For those who don't know, the elder sister had a fall a month or 2 back. But the good thing is that she is able to walk, though it still hurts. Usually she don't talk when we visit them. However, this time round she was more willing to talk, but she was pretty pessimistic. On the other hand, the younger sis is more optimistic. Quite a big contrast! Of cse, not just in this area. Anyway, there are some kind souls who actually bring food for the sisters everyday. So much that the younger sis is complaining that she is tired of eating bee hoon and noodles. (yeap, that's another thing that is different. The elder sis isn't really concerned about food..)

We also went to Uncle Lee, who shared with us his story of how he worked when he was younger. He also complained about his health, but he seems to look better since the last time I saw him. Actually, he was talking to Fred most of time, and for those who don't know, ususally Uncle Lee prefers to concentrate talking to just 1 person.

At the end of it, we had a debrief and heard that some of the newcomers did quite well in engaging the elderly. Hope that they will stay on in the LB family!

Cheers!
