Another Home Visit

Today we went to another home visit. But the "rombongan" today is a little different compared to the one on Saturday. Besides me, Sui Yao, Chor Siong, Huey Shan and Yan Yan xue jie also take part in this meaningful and happy 2 hours journey. The person we visit today is Siew Li, a blind friend and one of the Tzu Chi's gan en hu.
She lived alone in a flat near Seksyen 2. A very cheerful, open-minded and great person she is. Although she must face a lot of difficulties in her life, but she had the "never give up" spirit that will surprise everyone. She is blind but she can lead a normal life like most of us. She can cook herself, clean her house, take taxi to hospital and ...
During our visit, we talk about our life with her and she will share her life's experience with all of us. In our last visit, we help her to clean up her house. This time, we help her to fill up some for for the NKF(National Kidney Foundation). This is because Siew Li also have kidney problem and must undergo dialysis, so she need that form to ask help from NFK.
I must say this is the 1st time that I feel luckily to be a Biomedical Science Student.Hahahahaha... This is because I can understand the medical terms on the form and explain it to everyone. (Proud...Hahahahahaha...)
The NFK is a pain in the ass because there are so many infos to fill in. Besides the basic one such as name, IC, address, we must also fill in about what schools that Siew Li attend b4(I really cant get the connection between those 2 things)...Sweat...
However, it is an easy job cos Siew Li had provided us with all the info. After finishing that, we talk more and more. B4 leaving, Sui Yao open a mini concert where he sing a few songs. Then all of us join him and sing a few Tzu Chi song. We are having a great time together and everyone is so happy...
After visiting Siew Li, we yam char together at the nearby mamak stall. Not b4 long, we were join by a group of shi gu shi po which is also home visiting at nearby.
Having a great nite today. Get away for a while from my busy revising schedule and do some meaningful things is really relaxing. I cant agree more with what Chor Siong say in his msn :
Uni life should be like this-->trip,camp,sport,training,charity,outing... but not just focus on -->assignment,report,test....
