A visit to old folks home

Went to the old folks' home on Friday with my cousin, and another two friends. Actually, we were following the school trip organized from my brother and his friends. Departed around 8am. Followed the school bus all the way to the old folks home (as i don't know the way to the place). Arrived there around 9am.

Not much elderly were living there as i expected, i guess, that's a good sign. We brought them some rice, biscuits, bread and fruits. My brother and his friends brought them some performances. I guess, they enjoyed them.

As i noticed, some of the elderly preferred to stayed alone and kept quiet. Some were friendly. Some were shy (as they were trying to hide the camera, LoL). My cousin noticed, there was an old man, if she not mistaken, he is one of our granduncles. Actually, i not really sure about that, because i never met him before. May (my cousin) said her mom showed the old man's picture to her before, that's the reason why she guessed that's our granduncle. We tried to talk to him, but he seems can't really understand we were talking about. And we found that, it's a bit hard for him to talk actually.

There is another old man, kept looking at me. I took a picture of him and showed him. He smiled, and gave me his hand. He held my hand. He was keep looking at me, as my cousin and friends said. I asked him, do i look like some one that he knew before, he just answered me "aa aa", he can't really talk actually. I guess, i really look like someone he knew before. Kept staring at me, and made me a bit shy.

Well, this is my first visit to the old folks home actually. It's nice to visit them, and hopefully, there will be another chance soon~

May and me, with our grand uncle
