Fourteenth Visit
1/09/08, Monday
2.15 - 3.30 pm

-went to shihui’s house and rehearsed for the last performance for them
-around 12.30pm, we went to jurong east and ate lunch at Macdonalds
-we then went to popular to buy a game (that can help exercise their mind) for them

-reached the centre at about 2.15pm
-started out by greeting them a good afternoon with handshakes
-sang songs for the elderly, got some of them to clap along for a bit
-overall, it went fine

-helped the staff with their ball game
-the elderly were asked to bounce and pass a ball to the person opposite
-to make it more challenging, we increased the number of balls and set other conditions for them to do before they pass the ball on
-some of them got confused over the new conditions set while others who had better
understanding and memory did fine

-checked the plants for the last time and found that they were doing well
-passed the present to the staff (not to the elderly, because they would think that
the present is only for one of them, not all of them)

-did a feedback survey with the elderly and talked to them for a while

-gave them a special montage made by us
-at around 3.30pm, we bid them farewell for the last time
