went to do volunteer work with mich yi bran and his friends today. haha. went to dakota that area to give out bags of stuff to allocated units. and sing christmas carol to them. it was organised by the south east cdc dunno what thing for the elderly needy pple staying around the area.

there were several groups so it did not take very long as we were only supposed to give out 8 bags of stuff. each bag is definitely more than 5kg because the rice is already 5kg. and there is still a bottle of oil, cans of drinks, packet of soyabeanmilk, etc. imagine carrying bags up and down stairs to give to the families. damn heavy! then after talking a little to the residents, we sang christmas carols while bran played the guitar. the first grandma we met kept wiping her eyes. i don't know if she was crying or it's just a habit or she just woke up? and the big wide smile the residents put on their face while we sang brought an even bigger smile on mine. the trip was nice and i felt so touched by myself when i was carolling to them. it was definitely worth the trip to see them smiling so happily :)
