but apparently it was not. I'm amazed that it was quite a success &the rather high turnup rate although quite a few of us were at least 30min late(including me). We were rehearsing outside Haagendaz &it felt as if we were busking because Darren was strumming his guitar &we were singing 月亮代表我的心, 关怀方式, Chan Mali Chan (hoi hoi), Stand by me &even attempted 欢喜就好 !
Then we went to orange valley nursing home &the old folks did enjoy our performance although it was quite impromptu &disorganized.
(I think MsNg was quite proud of us heheheheheheheh)
I attempted to converse w/ some of the ahgongs &ahmas there, but because of language barrier (my hokkien/canto/teochew is cui one) ... Kaixin &I ended up chit-chatting to this malay uncle who is 82 years old zomg zomg zomg I wonder if I would ever live to that age.
I offered to play mahjong w/ some of the uncles there but they didn't want to play w/ me ): he prolly thinks that I'm too noob but I got play viwawa one what !
There, I experienced a couple of heart-x moments cause as the uncle talked about his children, I know he missed them alot, but at least they did come to visit him unlike some of the other old folks there. At the same time, there was this grumpy old ahgong standing by the door when we asked him if he wanted to sit he kept shaking his head, turned out, he was waiting for his family (sons &daughters) to come &visit him which they did &after they left, he wasn't all grumpy anymore !
Before we left, we performed one last time but something tragic happened. Got this ahma who tried to get up from her wheelchair, she fell &landed head first &when she looked up, she was bleeding! We were all so traumatized after that &hopefully she's alright now.
Okay, &for the 2 most classic photos of the day:
