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

之后，有位叫power 的导游，带大家先去饭。他的英文虽然不是很好，还听得懂。大家餐厅吃饭。36个人当中，只有自已吃素，和两位吃halah , 食物不错吧。之后大家到饭店。( 在一间学校的对面) 。本来按排和Gerald 睡一间房。在某某原因之下，Gerald 去睡spare 的房间，只省自己一个人在房里。
下午大家分组出去走。自已就跟着kelly的一组走吧。感觉还好吧。没有wifi ，对地图完全不懂，只有跟着团走吧。我们一路走到火车站, 找了一间咖啡厅喝咖啡。自已叫了egg coffee ( 也不错吧) 。有机会和Kelly and Eugene 聊天，感觉很开心了。大家等火车来，就等了近2个小时。还好火车有来。
到745 之后，大家走回old quarter , 路上有看到素食店，Eugene 有陪自己进打包炒饭，特别感动吧。之后大家在那裡的夜市一路走。因为大家都走得比较快，自己也不敢停下来买东西。不然掉队，又要让他们生气了。
在一间越南的餐厅吃饭，grace 吃不下东西，Auntie 和Michelle 合吃一盘。自己从外打包饭，最少也喝点coconut 水( 75k )。到了1030 分才回饭店。
回顾一天的行程，感觉都还好。感谢有帮到自已的几位同事，Kelly ，eugene 和anutie 。就是一句话来说，旅行当中，遇到对的同伴，就是天堂。整天没有网路，也打不游戏，但不会是大问题吧。(之前喝的水，有人出钱了。虽然不知道是谁，但也要感谢他們。
讲到我父亲的屋子。Iras 那裡弄好之后，才发现要先去hdb 那裡seek approval 才可以租人。有打去hdb 问。那裡的人叫我要去hdb branch office appeal . 那新房客一直打来吹。或许他得搬了。心里有一种无奈。Hdb 始终都是政府的，我们人民是是租客而已。感觉是这样吧。看星期二去hdb ，才想下一步吧。
写到这里 ，不會談戀愛的，一個人也要很開心
