that they invited us along to help,
personally i'm way over that 'holiday camp' since high school
but because of the other volunteer members,
i guess it would be fun to mingle around!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
it was Christmas month in 2007....

Joyce, Tania, Loke & I was assigned to take care of

30 kids and to plan for a visit to an Old Folks Home.

The Meet n Greet old folks in a nice chirpy way!

Group 1 - to decorate the mini Christmas Tree

(which cost only RM40 for everything!)

Group 2 - practice Chinese Christmas Carols

Group 3 - hang out/ chat / breakfast /

massage the elders.

They are amazing these kids, multilingual!

Apart from Malay/English/Mandarin/

Cantonese/hokkien/hakka/

teochew/foochow they can do ANY dialects

and communicate with them!

the rock and roll Atuk, we call him, :)

and he speaks only english and cantonese!

They must be really old, cos they told us stories

from the Japanese Occupation days, and

they were then about 7 yrs old.....

Group 4 - clean up the garden (exterior)

and also the rooms (interior)

--- TA-DA !!! END RESULT--Dong Zhi - a chinese festival, (Winter Solace)

celebrating the arrival of winter in December,

a time where family gathers and eat this pink little

flour balls...cooked in ginger soup,
dip with peanut sauce.

some like it, but some doesnt,

me? im not crazy about it,

but i always like to eat it if there's some!

That's Tania behind me, and directly opposite us

in orange is Joyce, and Eric in the front row.

group singing thingy

barbeque....corn corn corn... didnt eat it though,

so we are grateful for the support they
have been giving us, we also wish them
all the best in organizing more activities
in future, and hopefully, the legacy continues!
