meaningful experience....

so.. its been quite a while since i even visited my own blog...
been pretty busy dis few days... homework, homework and more homework....
and plus de extra torture of tests..... its actually very tough... and not to mention tiring....

and yep, i jus visited an old folk's home (Lions Home) today....
we performed and sang a couple of songs, and of course chat and interact wiz them....
i must admit tat i was kinda afraid at first cuz i dunno how to go abt doing things....
but after a while, i kinda got into de thing and was rilly "high"... i was even dancing...
but de most touching part was when we started interacting....
i tried to avoid personal qns and ask things like:" are you happy today" & "how are you"
but some of them jus started talking abt their medical conditions....
i cld see tears rolling down as they were sharing....
i suddenly felt so sad for them...
i remembered dis old man saying( in chinese):"how can i be happy when i'm here?... but there is no choice.."
and a lady said sth lyk" u are still young, u can do wateva u lyk.... but i'm old already, wiz illnesses... i've become useless... it doesn't matter if i die..."
i jus felt so sad and sorry for them... i was controlling my tears throughout de interaction time....
and be4 we left, we sang one last song....
as we were singing, i scanned the place... looking at de old folks...
then tears jus started rolling down my cheeks.... i jus couldn't help it...
it was a meaningful experience.... i didn't believe it at first when shijia told me her class cried...
i mean.. i was thinking... why wld u cry?... i didn't understand... but now i do...
our last message 4 them was to stay happy and be positive... and i hope they will....
( btw, 2morow is 2.4km run... and i'm pretty sure i'm gonna fail... since i haven't recover from flu and block nose... so i'm not rilly in de best of mood now....)
