Midnight in Suwon - Day 86

86th night.. about to pass its 12 midnight..

Clinging on one foot to Friday and the other foot.. on a Saturday..

Thinking whether should I be faithful to present or future... I'm living in the world of thoughts..

Pondering.. how I should spend the rest of the time in Korea.. I fell asleep..

Woke up to realize that it was already 8 in the morning.. I wanted to gym before leaving home.. but failed to do so as I woke up at that time.. I needed to be at the subway by 8:30 for the volunteer work today..

I slowly moved .. had two choco pies for breakfast ... told mom that I cancelled off today's meeting for another day and left for the CIP work.

Riding on the bike... moving to the rest home where elderly stayed.... I kept thinking.. whether am I spending it right.. and how should I spend the rest of the time... Time pressuring down every minutes.. and I was still thinking ways.. I can spend.. to leave no regrets when I'm back in Singapore for school.. How I can end.. this journey well.. and what I had thought was that I should do things.. that I wasn't able to accomplish till now... Like being a good son and brother.. like how I tried to be the day before.. and going to the library and reading books..

But of course.. having a time to think... on a bus ride... would be great too..

Reached.. the rest home like 15 minutes late.. and I quickly wrote my name and the person in charge brought me up to the third level. He asked me in the lift why I had come here for voluntary work... He told me there were a few grandmas or grandads suffering from dementia so was hard to deal with them... It was pretty much expected.. and seeing the grandma and grandpa... some memory actually came up.. which was the Sunami home that I had gone the other time for CIP during the Pegasus program. It was the same here. things we do.. like feeding.. and talking to them.. I was given a role to help feeding the elderly.. then.. she asked me to help with folding the laundries.. later on.. the clerk at the counter called me up to help with the computer work. All of them being old they weren't so updated with using computer. Although my computer knowledge was shallow too that I had to call Jun to ask some question about Excel but I was happy that I was giving help. But more than that..  I was really glad that I was given a seat with a computer and given a task to do using computer.. Like I felt professional and felt like I was some worker at Samsung.

After helping with the computer job.. .so fast it came 12pm and lunch was ready for the elderly. I had to feed them as most wasn't able to use the chopstick. Clearing all of them.. all the work was done. I tried to do all the tasks I was given properly and neatly.. that one of the worker auntie asked whether I had already gone for NS. Being so harshly treated for not being fast and comprehensive at work previously.. I was pretty happy. Volunteer work ended really fast.. 1pm and it all ended. I was hungry and but did not want to eat alone. I knew Hyeji nuna was living nearby so I called her but she was working.. Called Su Jin who lived nearby too but she didn't answer.. Seemed like all others... getting new jobs.. going to school... all of 'em were busy...  But still.. I had done something different.. and meaningful today.. so I'm happy with that.

Dropped by at the nearest MRT station to have my lunch and got back to gym and reached home.

Settled my return flight ticket.. and other stuff..

Still a lot to settle for my school matters..

Gotta wake up early tomorrow to see what else I have to settle tomorrow.

Thank God for today..

and..

Goodnight..
