`midastouch  Away with the mundane and right here's all about our adventure to be [b]KAIXINGUOs'[/b] to the residents at the Red Cross Home! :D  Today is a touchyfeely day.(: As I promised! Post entitled; (the)midastouch. Haha. Hogged Sharon’s veeeeeeeerypreeeeetty iT___! Jolyne t__ed her thighs in school today, much to the shock, horror and disgust of Mrs Nath! By the way Mrs Nath kept complaining today about our class cleanliness, hope we can improve our “status” too.. :] nagging is okay occasionally but not excessive nagging and I hope we will not do any more wrong things and work as a class to dress-up the notice boards and QINGCHU THE CLASS! Woohoo. T__cheeee the handphones. Wanted to try bluetoothing (MY MAMA TOLD ME), YOU BETTER SHOP AROUND from Marie’s phone to mine in bio class –ohhoh!- and yes I was successful. Hoho. Though suddenly the music started playing in class LOL, but thankfully no-one heard. Or. I think. :D Oh I do now ~ David Archuleta is cool and uber-talented! He’s Marie’s though. Sorraye(: So I got a favoured “Megan baby”. On a mission to t__hh the hearts and pierce the ears of the residents at the Red Cross Home with our horrible getai singing :D  Joking, lol. Daddy accompanied us on the journey, and his tag said SN Exco o.o as a parent volunteer for our class. He brought along his camera and acted weird taking photos :O wore his Pangster tinted glasses. Bus ride was uneventful, took random photos pumping myself up for the learning experience later!    Once there I took some pictures of the building; it was situated in a rather deep in location, and it had three floors. There was a special air-conditioned therapy room separated from the main building. We were given a briefing in which I fidgeted a lot (oh just let the outreach flow naturally when it’s already bursting at it’s seams!) and teased Janice L., and Li Lin looking like Cindy from Jimmy Neutron! Seriously she’s a clone. But has a nicer character. ((: And, the briefing lady said: “You can touch them anywhere because they will know that you love them.” When the first round of touring the first floor began, we met a blind boy, the youngest there. What was different was that he didn’t look blind; but it was really painful to know that he couldn’t see and would probably be living his life out there at the home for a long time. Some other residents there had crucially serious curved spines, which prevented them from sitting upright; others had cerebral palsy, and had to be tied to the bed. Movement restricted for a lifetime would really kill me; even if music did slow down the process. This lady in red was independent, and some of my classmates were sure they had seen her on TV once before. Admired!  Our group, group Two, began on the second floor (men’s). An old man who simply loved TV and the Oldies (nickname: Professor) could actually calculate the day of any date YOU could name! I immediately whipped out with : April 7 and he got the answer correct with Monday. Wowza, intellectual! There was another man in the same room who kept gesturing to us, until we got quite scared and tried to ask a nurse for help.. he had just changed his adult diapers as well. He was confined to the bed; life must really be a tough challenge for these people. Some of the MEP students (plus Charmaine W. and Cabrini T.) performed for the residents with songs like “Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo De Xin” which Moira and I barged in halfway and began doing weird gestures and dancing along with the song (she knew the lyrics but I didn’t!) Haha, they played violins, flutes, acoustic guitars etc.  Where we encountered Kumar, this really cool black guy who is so hip and happenin’. He is a big fan of Prison Break, favourite radio station to tune in to is 98.7, loves The Click Five (Ohh goes the woozy Saacha), watches Survivor: China, Heroes until Episode 11; he thought it was lame, bleah!, American Idol (he supports David.. Fernandez!) and is seriously such a (teen) current affairs person. He’s Secondary One, and studies at West Coast, Genesis International School. We sang Jenny for him until Saacha went: Omg cannot nono okay stop now. As he watched rather dumbfoundedly in his mind I presume he was going “what the heck” but his face revealed no trace of suppressed horror, and he very gentlemanly agreed that he preferred the original track, but complimented us all the same on the singing. Cool-mar, is my nickname for him!  I’m so proud for you, Erina darl’. You’ve finally found your soulmate. :D We initially prepared a couple of songs – Jesus Take the Wheel, by Carrie Underwood, and Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson. The first was a high, choir-voice-ish song and the second a rather bland odd tune when we sang it. So in the end, it was the impromptu decided songs that brought the joy and drove the fun-point home! We threw out (up!) random songs like Do You Believe In Magic – Aly and A.J., Breaking Free – High School Musical I, What I’ve Been Looking For – High School Musical I, and finally the Dikir Barat song! That was the most successful one and we had tons of fun doing it! We even garnered two fans; the first auntie said we sang nicely! (: and began to talk to us about her personal life and that her mother came to visit her.. we were so heartened after that, and cheer simply blossomed in our souls at this stage.  When the sun shines we’ll shine together, Told you I’ll be here forever; Said you’ll always be my friend Take a vow and stick it out to the end Now it’s raining more than ever, Know that we’ll still have each other-  You can stand under my umbrella, You can stand under my umbrella Ella-ella-eh-eh-eh Under my umbrella Ella-ella-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh Suka suka :D United in Unglam-ness The second auntiefan loved the Ye Lai Xiang song. Erina the solo-ist, haha! My palms were really red and stinging after that but I felt so cheered. How come I’m reminded of One Truth every day? Flower there and the dikir barat song, dance and imaginary drums really brought memories flooding back. As a warm closing scene, we gathered at the bedside of the blind boy, singing National Day songs. It might seem as if there’s no relation at all, but we felt united and so warm and friendly and huggy and we just kept right on singing until it was time to leave. Where I Belong, Home, even the failed Reach Out For The Stars and Happy National Day! (I think Singapore’s forty-two!) was inspiring and well-sung with zest. ’m so glad we had a great time in the end, and I sincerely hope we touched some of those lives there at the Red Cross home.  We’ll be back. Lots of love, 2J 26Feb@RC-Home
