now that you're gone
now that you're gone,
i can only regret in silence.
i can't say anything
i can't let you know
coz there's someone else.
I let it go. i know.
and i can no longer take it back.
i can't undo what i did
i can't take back what i said.
and now you're off to a happier life
a happier
you. I know i've brought hurt to you the other time. and now that you've let it go, you're back to yourself, ever so positive but stronger as a person.
but still i'm glad and thankful. that you're still my friend. someone whom i can still turn to at the end of the day. someone who makes my day everytime (:
went to the old folks home today and i tell you, it's completely different from how they present it in pictures and how it feels when you're in one yourself. the moment i turned into the canteen of the home, i stood there rooted for a moment. i know it sounds very very bad and i actually feel bad about it. It was my first time there and i've never been in such an environment ever in my life. the sight of all the old people with difficulty in walking or even sitting down. They seem so lonely but yet unfeeling too. I was told to help them shave. however, it was my first time and i was so afraid i wouldn't do a good job. furthermore, i had no idea how to go about helping others shave. But i'm thankful that there was a resident who taught me how to help them shave. and oh my. i accidentally hurt one of the indian old men. I'm so sorry! ahhhh. it was my first time and i tried to be careful, but i hurt him. sighh. i just hope i'll not hurt anyone next time. i'm now afraid of helping them shave :( sighh.
So thereafter,we were to help out for lunch as they ate from their packet food. We went from table to table helping them pour curry on their food. Some wanted more and some got irritated coz of waiting. they're rather difficult to understand actually. hmm. i'm just looking forward to the next visit next wk and hopefully, it'll be better.
And i never wanna send my mum to a home next time. Don't you too.
Nights.
