old ppl - waiting for ah mei pic..

Wanted to wait till my porky sis send me the pic..before i start updating again.. but.. she is so slow.. typically.. haa.. mei.. if u read this.. rmb what you should do.. n ask dad to do the same.. thanks..

Just wondering.. people are so fragile.. n weak as they get older.. their skin, emotion in term of physically and mentally.. all sorts of illness will come runnning after you.. the only solution we can do.. i suppose is to ask God for help.. that's what some of my resident do.. there is this particular old lady.. called Hilda.. thou she is 96 yrs old.. she is still capable of walking around.. eating.. drinking.. sitting.. pretty strong for her age.. thou she has dementia.. stm.. kept asking.. have i taken my pills.. wat time is meal time.. tea time.. etc.. there's something she simply rmb clearly.. that is God.. whenever you speak to her.. she will say.. i pray to God to help me everyday.. she rmb the bible verses.. n sing well.. haa.. and whenever she talks about God.. her face shines.. n you can see the smile on her face.. that could simply marks anyone day.. wonderful..isnt it.. her smile is so genuine and ignorant.. haa.. rare cases.. she rmb me.. coz..she dont rmb ppl name easily..

Communicating with elderly ppl.. is not an easy task.. as they are more experience, mature and wiser.. hence they know the motive of individual..whether the person is genuine or not.. therefore.. moral is.. we should treat all ppl with respect and dignity... by showing them the care & concern required.. as a form of "Duty of Care".. in time.. they will open up themself.. to trust you..

Living in a nursing home is not easy.. in a way.. you would lose your freedom.. as you cant get anywhere further than the compound within the home.. provided you can drive..that a different case.. however.. as we get older.. there are limitation.. (cant drive, slow reaction, stm, etc).. hence travelling is considered a haste for all..

Went to la premier(consider gold class over in perth).. haa.. but.. the only diff is.. they have a higher and wider seat.. (+ popcorn & soft drink provided)..

Certain time, if things/thoughts are shared too freely.. or just a passing remark.. and one takes it too seriously.. perhape it is not a good things.. .. certain things said are not meant to be.. as it is only part of a conversation.. (pro the person care..?.. that y..) in the bible says.. mouth is the most powerful weapon.. as it can stir up something good or bad.. all depend on how the other party receives it.. but.. back to square one.. conversation is part and parcel of life.. one shouldnt take/interpret things too seriously..or attempt to read in depth.. as it will upset own self..if it is misinterpreted it.. too tired to write.. gtg for studies..more test + exam coming up..
