RED CROSS HOME (:

hi there. today went for comm service at red cross home. morning monday blues. didnt really feel like talking and also because of someone! i reached sch a lil late, was supposed to meet at 9. anw, i was in grp D, a all girls grp. then there's one girl named lina(or whatever how her name is spelt). i tell you, she gets on my nerves right in the morning. she talked non-stop. she's like a machine gun, her mouth just keep talking from 9 till 1.30. she's damn irritating lah. then u know my name is melissa low, then there's another melissa in our grp, she's a senior mah. then that lina say, ''huh?! how come there's 2 melissa(s) in a group. haha, so weird. melissa no. 1 and melissa no. 2. is there some other melissa out there? like melissa no. 3 or 4?'' like wtf lah. as if i know lidat. when we reached the red cross home, they brought us ard for a tour. the person-in-charge told us that some of them the body are somehow twisted and when they see you, they may produce some weird sounds. that's their way of communication. yeah, and so we went to 3 levels. omg, they are really pitiful lah. some are even tied to the bed, some just look at us blankly and etc. i really pity them and find that i'm so fortunate to be borned like this. healthy and able to move ard. they said that only 2 is able to walk and 1 i guess, able to talk.

grp D went to the third level, which is all girls level. yeah, we were told to wipe the windows and doors. thereafter, wipe the railings of the patient's bed. we rested for a little while and waited for the nurses to teach us how to feed them. omg, i tell u wad. i find that one of the nurse there is so inhuman. hah. she was feeding one patient which somehow will produce some weird sounds. u know wad she did? she just scooped a big mouthful of porridge and stuff it into her mouth. c'mon lah. the porridge is hot, really hot. and she just keep stuffing it into her mouth. 1 min can stuff ard 5. then after finished feeding the porridge, she feed the patient watermelon juice. this is one worse. she poured into her mouth and use towel to cover the patient's mouth so that she cant spit it out. she's damn rough! the patient didnt close her mouth and the nurse just use the towel to cover it. wah lau, duno how to say lah. as in maybe u can imagine it. but i see it with my eyes, it's damn heartpain lo. i feed one patient too. she's like my cousin, grace. everytime when i feed her, i think of grace. grace is a few years younger than me, in terms of age rank, she's after me. she's 13 this year yet she cant sit properly, talk and do what normal kids do nowadays. sigh, she's like my own younger sis.

anw, i fed the patient and sometimes the food will just flow out from the corner of her mouth. i jumped a lil cuz kinda shocked and she was also startled to see me jump. haha. yups, after finish feeding, we went down for lunch. after lunch, we started to get pair up so as to wipe the ceiling fan. one boy, one girl. i'm with julian and leonard is so lucky to be w lina. i wanted to say good luck to him, but didnt. haha. helped julian to rinse the cloth and changed the water. lol. after cleaning the fan, we went to clean the windows of the therapy room. lol. kuo qiang damn funny lah. lol. he made me LOL all the way. haha. i passed him the cloth and told him to go into the 'forest' there to wipe the windows. wah, he chiong all the way cuz he scared he will get dengue fever after that. lol. then he said that there were many eggs at the side of the windows. eeww, puke sia. lol. at ard 1, we went back to sch. in the coach, i hide under the seat so that lina would not see me. she wanted me to bring her to take 173 with her. bleah, i dowan. i dowan to be near her. reached sch for debriefing and went home. wanted to go see boots de, but leonard cant and jq ps me. bleah, anti him leh. bathed and sleep from 3 plus to 8. wah, sleep like i have never sleep before. yup, okay. think thats all for today. takecares!
