so today was my first day volunteering at HCA, i did administration today cuz i offered my help because poor elsie had like a million things to file and sort out and if i didnt help her, she'd have to stay back at night to do it or come in on saturdays even though she doesnt have to. i felt quite sad when i was filing the patients profiles. cuz the only reason im filing their profiles is because they are 'resting in peace' (as elsie puts it). and for most of the cases, those old people didnt know of their condition (their terminal disease) meaning they died without knowing what caused their death. i dont know, but if i was going to die of some sickness, i'd rather not be kept in the dark. what if they had some unfinished business that they would like to do? but mummy said their family probably just want them to live their last days happily and not burden the person with the depressing news. owelll.. life and death... i think the next time im going down i will help out at the day care centre..
met mamajudy at orchard after i finished volunteering and we had lunch and went shopping! jeev says im starting to warm up into the post-exam mood. haha i think so. im in a shopping mood already :D
