Last saturday was the 21st of August, and somehow, there were tons of things scheduled for that day. No idea why, but anyway.
For the first time, I participated in iGAP's Project Paint ! And I'm glad I went for it, really (: We went to Chinatown to paint the homes of the elderly !
It feels really nice to be helping someone, you know ? Though there was the prospect of bedbugs, cockroaches and all that - it was actually really really enjoyable. Met different people from different professions and all, plus get to practice my cantonese and train my arm muscles a bit, not bad ! hahah.
Plus, it also made me more aware how much more I need to learn, in terms of striking up a conversation with other people - young or old. Plus, I need to learn my dialects. My level of comprehension of Hokkien is super low lah ): Need to learn teochew too, since its the elderly who have such interesting stories to tell - you just need to be able to understand them !
