COP at Swami home=D

Here's a photo of the our class at the Home XD

The COP last friday was certainly a special experience.

We went to the Swami Home of the elderly on Friday after school. It was our class COP. I kinda feel sad for them cause when we went there they were all so happy to see us. This mean that they are actually quite lonely and i could certainly tell when we were leaving ;(

How we entertained them was by performing 2 Chinese New Year songs for them. Actually we really did not have much practice time in school as when the song started we were actually quite lost as in what actions to make. Thanks to Lena who came out with impromptu moves. HEHE=D really enjoyed it. Next we had pass the parcel game with the elderly whereby a song would be played and a parcel would be pass around. When the music stop, the elderly that has the parcel gets to keep it. we played this for 3 rounds before it was dinner time for them.

When we requested to help feed some of them, i noticed that different food was given out to different people. What surprised me was that nurses knew exactly which food was for who without having to refer to anything. Anyways the feeding session took about 45mins or so.

When we were done, it was time to leave and i could really feel how lonely they are without visitors.

Taiwan Temple Trip.

Hey all, back to update liao. Sorry for the delays in post. HeHe.=X

Okies... next one. I went to Taiwan on the 29th of November. Flight was in the afternoon at around 1. Thats great cause i don't have to rush to do things. Boarded the flight at aroung 1.10 and Taiwan here i come!!! The duration of the flight was about 4 hours 30 mins. Started playing monopoly deal with my bro. Eventually became bored and went to sleep. Woke up to realize that my dad and bro was watching Ice Age 3 on their phone. Haiz... watch that already. Since i was left out, meaning in my own world. manage to swap seat with my cousin who wanted to watch it too. YES!!! Now i was able to talk to 2 of my other cousins.

Me with one of my cousin=)

Feeling bored so took a photo of the outside=)

We reached Taiwan airport at about 5.30 and then boarded a shuttle bus to the temple patron housing. Got there at about 6.30 and it was very dark. I actually thought it as like 8pm at night already. After we checked in and settled our rooms keys we headed to the nearby famous Beef La Mian restaurant. Yummm Yummm XD, a nice bowl to warm your body. By the way the temperature outside was like 16 degrees. After dinner I went back with my room to unpack and get ready for the next day while my parents went to see what they can get for tmr breakfast. At about 12, everyone was asleep though the youth stayed up a little later=X

Our room!

My room mates and i woke up about 6.30 to get ready to go to the temple. My dad bought breakfast from a stall just beside where we stayed.


At about 8.15, we all gathered outside the temple for a group photo including those that stayed at the hotel. We finish the temple work at about 10am. The adults had other sessions to do till 12 so the youth left first and explored the place. Oh the youth had their own group photo too.

After lunch at around 2.30, we had a fireside with the Temple President. It was a very spiritual moment for me. Learned a lot from the things he shared with us. At around 4.30 pm, we went back to the Patron housing to change. We were going to Xi Men Ting. Its a night market btw=) There was like so many shops there!!!=) Wanted to buy lots of stuff but sadly did not bring much money. We passed by many clothing shops but ended up eating more than shopping. I saw this really cute banana stuff toy that i wanted to get for my cousin's B'day but not sure why did not purchase it in the end=X sry YY. Here's a few photos of the food and areas there.

Okies... Here's what we ate. Fried Oyster omellete, Yam cake, Some huge Dumpling, Ice cream, Corn Dog and a lot of other stuff!!! Before we left, i Bought donuts with ethan at Mr donut!!!. So NICE!!! miss it lots. The other youth went to get some Jacket from Baleno. In the end we left the place at about 8.30 - 9pm.

We took the MRT back but decided to stop at an earlier stop to walk back to the Patron Housing as we thought it would be a shorter route. Crap!!! we took almost an hour trying to find our way back. We snap some photos on the way back.

3 Storey Mac Donald!!! 1st time i've seen such a thing.

Neal got even so tired that he fell asleep taking a photo=)

When we finally reach the Patron housing, my Dad wanted to go to the supermart to buy a big bottle of juice. So Neal Ethan and I followed and walk for another 15 mins to the super mart. My feet was so soar by then. Bought lots of snacks besides the Juice X)

We finally could return back to our Patron housing. Hahas=) i was all ready to get into bed!!! In the end we played monopoly deal for like an hour to about 12 before we slept=) I so love it here=)

Next day on next post=) ... or not sry about the delay hehex)
