More of my volunteer work...

I’m beginning to find my alternate Saturday offs more meaningful than any other day. I was back to the hospital for the volunteer work this afternoon. The residents were so happy to see H and I coming back to visit them again. They even asked why we didn’t come last week. So I guess they must’ve missed us.

This is only my second time there and I’m feeling so attached to that place. Those people love us and they enjoy our company. Do I get such treatment at work? NO! That is why I feel the need to go back there again. Talking to them and learning from them is a totally different experience. Maybe it’s fate that brought me there. When I’m there, I felt so isolated, far from everything else. But at the same time I felt like I’m home. I began to develop feelings of happiness, fear, sadness and empathy all at the same time. If you were there, you’ll know what I mean.

Here are some of the drawings done by two of the residents. I love it!




Before I left the premises, one of the residents shook my hand and said,"Rindu pakcik eh?" means "Miss uncle?". So I said yes, I’ll miss him and he gave me that big smile. I was soooo touched man! If only I could just give him a hug.

Pervert??? He's a 70 yr old man who sits in a corner by himself and talks to himself. He's definitely not a pervert. If he's one, he'll be looking at my chest all the time...lol!

Oh i tell u one thing, there this 1 particular guy who is really a pervert coz he kept telling my fren that her top is very "cantek". He kept coming back to tell her that. My fren pun satu, dier punya neckline very low, sebab tu ah..hehee..

I'm not gd at drawing, so the other guy suggested an owl and a rabbit. The old man didn't draw the rabbit coz he said that he's tired. Kesian dier...
