have you ever felt sympathise for the elderly? well, i do. so i decided to help them by giving them free gifts for Chinese new year. this voluntary work was organised by our Indian chief - dong dong uncle. we went all the way to Chinatown block 5 to help out and we were supposed to wear black for the day. but don't the elders think that black is bad luck?
when we reached there, we were looking for dong dong uncle but he was late AGAIN.
after a hard time waiting in the sun, the "gifts" finally arrived. we "threw" all the goodies into the lift and sent it up to the 3rd floor while we took the stairs. the goodies bags contain eggs, fruits and many more. we were supposed to send the gifts to everyone staying in block 5. hence, we have a mini lucky draw to see the units which we have to to delivery. guess what floor we are going to deliver to? #08-80. that was really a lucky pick!!
we got to the unit and pressed the doorbell but no one answered. we waited and waited then an old man opened the door. i guessed he was in the washroom. he seemed very happy to receive the goodies. then, we went back to the 3rd floor again to find an old lady and an old man. we decided to help one each. i helped the old lady while my mummy helped the old man. mummy was going to the 20 floor and i was gong to the 4th floor. the gift bag was very heavy.... about 3kg? i was not too sure.
i was carrying a 3kg gift bag while the old lady was walking slowly..... opened the door slowly..... and pushed the door slowly..... COME ON!!!! MY ARMS ARE BREAKING!!!! i quickly left the gift bag on her kitchen table and left.
while on the way down to 3rd floor, i met ah yi and biao yi zhang. they were amazed that i actually delivered the bag on my own. ha ha.... I can do it too ok!!!
when everyone returned, we took a group photo. don't you feel good when you did something nice to people around you? well, i believe in what goes around comes around. maybe someday something good will happen to me. hee hee hee.....
