On 13 July, I managed to meet up with Alan to visit her mother at a nursing home in bedok area. I went to Alan house to pick him up (and also his wife and one-year-old son.
I drive them to the nursing home at around 0945am. First, Alan exchange pass at the reception and we went up to the third floor. A group of elderly was watching TV at that time. We find a nearby table to sit while a nurse pushes Alan‘s mother (on a wheelchair) to us. His mother was suffering from dementia, and could not recognise most of the people (including me). We stayed in the home for almost 3 hours; first, Alan tried to get her to walk around the home (around 50 meters I guess,).
Later, we push her mother to a Dog show. There were around 20 elderly watching the show. The show starts around 1045, where the host started by singing two songs. Later, there were some individual performance by 4-5 dogs. Although the dogs were not exactly professionally trained, but it proves to be sufficient as it has brings some joy to the elderly. I did not do much except to sit beside and took some photos.
At 1215pm, we left for lunch; Alan treated me at the bedok mall. After that, we went to the JEWEL. We reached the place at 1345pm. the place were relatively big, and we only managed to visit the waterfall at level 1, and some shopping area. There were many people and most of the area for food is being crowded with people. We initially wants to go to A&W to order some drink, but the queue is simply too long. In the end of the day, we just rested at the food court nearby
At 1615, we left jewel, and I sent Alan and his family back home before going home. Looking backwards, I think it is a meaningful trip. It is always good to try to take care of these elderly as we one day will become like them too , when our parents ( or elderly ) are happy , there are always some satisfaction in our heart . Furthermore, I t also teaches us the importance of having a good health.
Looking forward, Alan and his wife mentioned about japan trip, although they do express interest in going to japan together, they do not want to go during wintertime, neither do day want to visit any onsen. So talking to myself, I should visit japan next Jan alone. Any chance of going to japan with Alan would only be realized at Oct 2020 earliest / or Apr 2021?
Game wise, I had spent a little too much for thought, the progress is slow despite spending those money. Telling myself, I should adjust my expectation and not try to compete with those “expert”, I should not be spending more than 50 dollars a month, so I could save some money for the japan trip next year.
I should stop for now, 不會談戀愛的，一個人也要很開心
GOD bless all the time
