Service with Tai Po
Elderly
I
have volunteered in few community service which is similar to the visit to the
elderly home in Malaysia and sadly the truth is Malaysia’s elderly are
miserable, gloomy, desperate and mostly just waiting for their life to be taken
away. Out of surprise, the Tai Po elderly center that we serve was so
energetic, fun and cute. They constantly thank us for coming all the way from
Malaysia and perform to them. I wanted to tell them so much that we are the one
who should be thankful as it was out of our expectation they will like our
performance and meanwhile; giving us a chance to wear our country traditional
wear. They made me realize that happiness is a choice,
is our own choice to stay cheerful or down when we reach our old age of life.
It wakens me up on how happiness can drive one's life, where and when should I
choose to let go of things that frustrates me and start to enjoy my life. Like
the old say, “You only live once, so enjoy every moment
in your life.”
Another thing that I look up to them was
that even they are old, but their heart and mindset was very young. They have
lots of passion in service-volunteering work
where they often help disaster victims, distribute lunchbox to the poor and
many other meaningful and impactful activities. Apart from attending dance
session and tai chi session during their free time, they even learn
handcrafting or even get training from call centres to learn to call others to
sell something such as credit card. I think these are good ways for the elderly
to spend their free time rather than sitting there while do nothing. If I have
the ability, I will think of bringing up this kind of activities in Malaysia
Elderly Home so that the elderly can benefit as well as the community.
