Slept for about 4 hours, then woke up at 7am to prepare to help out Peiyi with another of those volunteer events together with Nic. Nic and I helped to take photos for the day. We gathered at Shan You at Katong as usual, and the bus took us to Buangkok, to a place called SILRA - Singapore Leprosy Relief Association. It's a home for those elderly who suffered from leprosy but have since recovered. There were about 40+ volunteers visiting these 45 elderly. Peiyi and the organizing committee organized games and a little food fair for them. Quite interesting to interact with them. I spoke to a few, some in Cantonese, some in English. They were very happy to see us. And one kept thanking us for visiting and organizing this event for them. I wonder what their unfilial kids are doing out there. Ended just before 12. Freaking tired liao cos only slept for 4 hours. But if you see the smiles on those elderly's faces, it's all worth it. Damn you 不孝子/女!
In the end we took the bus back and Nic and I rested ourselves and filled our stomachs with food from Spageddies at Bedok. Don't try the ramen or Jap food there! Sux! Order Western food rather than Jap food!
