old folks home at sikamat, seremban

some of my friends & i went to pay the folks a visit.. thought i'd share the pictures.. the old folks looked like they have absolutely nothing to do.. they all had a bed and a wardrobe each.. and when we arrived, they were just sitting around on their own beds, minding their own business.. actually, they were more like Not doing anything but Just sitting..

they plant their own vege..

one particular old folk sings..

we tried to bring cheer by bringing over some vegetarian food and talk to them.. my friend, ryan, brought his laptop and played some chinese new year songs.. some of us attempted to dance but it was quite horrid we stopped after a while..

chatting..

we went to another home - vinashini home.. where there are 53 inmates & some of them need special care..

his nickname is Jumanji.. a very cheerful and helpful boy..

notice the boy seated 2nd from the right? he holds a bear wherever he goes because he keeps thinking that he is Mr. Bean..

it was a heartwrenching experience.. at the vinashini home, so many things were happening at one same time.. it is quite hard to keep things under control..

2 children suffer from cerebral palsy.. all they do is lie down all day long.. food in the form of liquid is being transfered into their body through tubes..

there was another girl who had an epileptic fit.. she was moving in an uncontrolled way on the floor.. she accidentally bit her own tongue, resulted in bleeding.. what more, she puked out some white substance too.. =(

there was 1 kid who becomes really hyperactive and aggressive when he has taken too much sweet stuff.. he ran away from the home that day and some caretakers had to run after him.. they were running around a car parked about 10 metres away..

1 indian lady is mentally ill.. she was actually quite funny.. she laughs & talks a lot.. at most times she was standing apart from the wall by 5 cm facing it.. and then she walks towards us and said "the drink is black in colour. it isn't coffee. the drink is black in colour. it isn't coffee." and honestly, i thought it was funny i burst into laughter..

anyway, this is about all.. sometimes i wish there are a few of me's so i can send 1 over there to help out & other me's to do all that i wish to do before i meet up with my late sister.. ggrrr.. so much to do, so little time? well anyway, as poosy strongly suggests, i should really cut down on my napping time.. i sleep too much i may miss out on valuable time that can be put to good use.. this shall be my new year resolution.. it's weird though, coz i have been deprived of sleep lately.. as if this resolution worked itself into my life.. hah!
