back to yc
since April i wanted to return to YC and do what sy and i used to do every week, visit the elderly. but sy is serving ns and i tot it would be kinda lonely if i go back alone, until yesterday. i went back to help out in the zoo trip and it feel so good to be back. i know none of the the current batch of volunteers, that's normal cause there are many new members and old ones left, that happens all the time. but the elderly didn't change..i still can recognize a few faces haha.
the tour itself was nothing more than routine and to be honest i didn't care to look at the animals, i've see those beast many times. i was busy looking around at all the elderly, just to make sure they are enjoying themselves and they are not lost. during the elephant show, when ruby said something like 'the elephant's so cute..' i didn't know what to reply and just faked a smile, then i realised i wasn't paying much attention to the show, i kept looking around at the elderly sitting behind. they were all watching the show and very much amused by the elephants. when i look at their happy faces, i just felt very warm and it's like all my troubles are gone. though they may not be rich but they are very happy with life. one granny told me 'life can be very easy and very happy, u just enjoy what you have, u go to bed happily and when u wake up, it's a brand new day.' what she said really like enlightened me a little cause i haven't been very satisfied with my life lately her words kinda acted as a reminder that reminded me of how i used to be.
well yup, i'll be going back again!
