Festive seasons....

Another year is gonna pass soon.....time flies. One moment I was taking PSLE, the other moment I have finished my Bachelor course. OMG... 32 years has just slipped by.

I considered myself lucky to have proper education, a complete family with shelter and an acceptable amount of earning. But on the other hand, those needy out there whom have problem worrying where to get their food from for tomorrow are considered less fortunate. For us, we crack our head of what to eat tomorrow but unfortunate people wonder where to get their food from the next day. Therefore, I always tell myself always go for what you need and not what you want. I treasure what I have now and always remind myself not to let anything of what I have now slip off.

We can see so many year end sales, christmas lightings, buffets and nice clothes and stuff in shopping centers during this period of time. People rushing for presents, gifts and greeting cards. However, opportunities for needy people to visit such places is something nearly impossible, let alone buying something from orchard. I always had this feeling that there are voices from the poor calling for help but just don't know where to start helping them (especially the elderly).

Imagine you are someone whom is old with problem buying food for the next day, some friends of your ages had passed on and some lose their memories (Alzheimer). How would you feel? Loss? Helpless and hopeless? Useless? Fear?

I heard this from a nurse in one of the elderly home when my grandma is hospitalised. She told me that the major problem those elderly are suffering is fear. They fear of death, fear of being alone, fear of leaving their loves one behind when they passed away. The nurse made me understand more in elderly and how my grandma feels at that point of time. I grabbed every opportunities to with her and make her always have that wrinkled smile on her face. I miss my grandma deeply even though she has left me a few years back. From then, I been wanting to do something for the elderly. And....My resolution for this new year is to give and share with all elderly in this world with my utmost effort. I hope and pray hard to god I can start this somewhere and let all the needy elderly everywhere to receive my minor effort in giving and sharing.
