I normally hate it when I have to give up my weekend for work or any unplanned activities, but when the company said they are planning to do a CSR project, I couldn't say no. My previous jobs involved doing a lot of charity work and sejak dapat kerja desk job ni, I haven't been able to give back to society at all. So last weekend I took part in something Malaysian – melawat rumah orang tua yyay!
It was a tricky thing for me, sebab saya memang tak boleh tengok orang tua (because I'll never get to see my father grow old). I cry easily! And I miss my Queen Mother terribly.
Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed my day at Rumah Seri Kenangan in Seremban. We danced, we sang, we spoke about life.
One nenek said I will die a bloodied death because I have a tahi lalat on my chest. Thanks Nenek! -_-
Another nenek, the one in green, is a lovely dancer and singer. I think she is blind, but she made me laugh.
The nenek on the purple cadar lamented on her life wasting away at the old folks' home but I told her to think of happy thoughts and butterflies.
At another dorm, I saw a lady sleeping on her side just like my Queen Mother. I left the dorm in a huff, with tears in my eyes.
There were no tearful goodbyes or empty promises about seeing each other again from me, because I think these wonderful people at the old folks' home have been living on empty promises for too long already. God bless them all.
Hujung minggu ni kita jadi orang Jepun pulak. Bon Odori this weekend yay!
