11:54 PM Our first Outing Befrienders session, on the 12th. Despite the uncooperative dark clouds and raindrops; we can declare that it was a new and great experience for all of us. Sheltering the wheelchair-bound elderly;while all the Reds are drenched upon reaching the Chinatown Heritage Centre. As usual, my lil grey shoes turned into a darken grey. (That tells the time to hunt for a better pair.) ![]() Trying my hardest to communicate in my super-broken Hokkien; And learning from the elderly the names of fruits in Hokkien. Great lesson. hah! ![]() She's really soft-spoken. But after a few questions around the centre, we were having better conversations with my limited Hokkien vocabulary. Glad that she was waving byes continuously to us, while she was on board the lil ambulance transport. High-fived on the glass. ![]() It felt good when people on the streets glanced at us while we were pushing through the rain. Some even asked if we are doing voluntary work, and gave praises. Raising awareness. (Red tees, PR lessons. A thumb-up.) We were all drenched and cold from the bad weather. But, definitely all warm inside.
