alright I'm supposed to write a jounal after every CIP session at the Bethany's home. since I'm lazy to pen it down, might as well I put it online first. yesterday was the first outing to Lot 1 and it sure turned out quite well. at least my worriment of getting a grumpy, grouchy old man/woman didn't last long. we got an indian christian man, uncle ratnam, just because Ruby the instructor needed malay-speaking student helpers for him. I thought he looked fit, with the exception of his amputated leg. once again I was leading the rest who were either the road marshalls or wheeling the wheelchair.
so my first attempt at conversing with uncle ratnam was when I asked him where he intended to go first thing when we reached the mall. iniatially I thought he was going to blast at me for that question but it turned out that he was replying politely; just that he had this coarse voice which made my heart jump a little. oh and he actually smiled and I guess he looked cute. we had been making use of the lift to get around the mall. uh and I deem that he's a narcissist too. he never failed to admire himself in the mirrors within the confines of the lift. haha. there were times when he caught me staring at him while he was doing that. oops. haha.
anyway, he also invited us for tea at the foodcourt. haha. I asked him what type of tea he wanted and he said "anything". so I ordered tea-o for him. when we reached the table again and he tasted the tea a little, he said, "I actually wanted milk tea." it was pretty clear that I was going to get a dressing down. so before he could actually do that, I asked him if I could get him another drink but he said that was fine with him. phew. a tinge of relief there.
so we crapped and crapped till it was time to report back to Ruby at the main entrance. after which we wheeled the patients to their respective rooms in the Love ward and I finally headed home with the usual people.
p.s okay kak yani, something for you to read! haha. and yeah, the fotopage has been updated too. =)
