i'm glad i managed to get out of it..i dread being caught in such situations.
went to yima's wake today..she was an elderly whom our touch volunteers used to visit..i nv gt e chance to visit her coz when i joined touch, she was hospitalised & went to stay in a nursing home after dat. e one & only time i visited her was on tues evening coz we heard dat she was in critical condition. when i saw her, she looked really weak & seemed to be in pain(she mentioned it a few times too).we didnt stay for long coz we felt dat we shld let her rest. but e very next day came the news of her passing..although i didnt really knew her coz tues was e only time i met her..but there was this lingering sadness in me..perhaps coz i really empathized alot wif elderlys...but to look on e bright side, we should be glad for yima dat she has been relieved of her pain & dat god has brought her with him. when at e wake, her niece thanked us for coming & told us that yima was very happie to have us volunteers visiting & accompanying her...although i wasnt one of them then..but it juz brings us to e point dat every little thing we do cld make a difference in e lives of these pple whom we touch.
anyway, went to celebrate min's bdae wif ling & jinx ytd..had dinner @ bugis cafe then went to shop ard @ bugis village..hai it's quite bad..exams r juz around e corner yet i'm still outside shopping & dining..but cant be helped too...it's my gd fren's bdae=)
