Memories flooded back...

Yesterday went to Hougang CC for wushu training in the evening, but for a dinner first somewhere near there la.. as i walked pass some of the blocks.. some of the memories came flooding back.. the memories of Colours of Life 2003.. the time when we all boarded the bus from ITE Tampines with a group of people from JC, ITE and NTU.. all arriving at the blocks.. with newspapers... tins of paint.. brushes.. all came happily.. waiting to meet the elderly.. to clean their one room flat.. and help them painted the walls... chatting with the elderly.. cleaning their bedsheets which are infested with mites... throwing away some of the unwanted stuff... thou it was just for a few days.. and only painting their walls.. the elderly are very happy that we are here... they shared with us their family members.. their past.. their stories.. the time when we all gathered downstair for lunch.. me serving them.. haha.. not really serving.. give them packet lunch la.. wahaha.. then halfway.. hearing complaints people are getting hungry and thirsty.. i as the Cheif Welfare Officer.. went to buy tins of biscuits and bottles of water.. well.. at least it helped a bit... i still remember got one flat which is infested with xiao qiang.. and these groups of volunteers actually stuff as many as possible into a mineral bottle.. oh gosh... sigh.. i miss those days.. it was so hectic but meaningful...
