Help needed for the Outram Patient, Part II

Posted by: Tai Qin on: April 3, 2008

Hi Everyone,
Yihan and I visited the Outram Patient Uncle Lee on wednesday afternoon. It is a relief that Uncle Lee and his sister managed to obtain permission to use the common rest area (which is another unit on the same floor) as their temporary home until 13 Apr, that is until the renovation of their home has completed. Yihan and [...]

Posted by: Tai Qin on: January 12, 2008

The last time we visited the Outram park Patient (Uncle Lee) was before the start of semester one, 4 months ago - we kind of have forgotten about him with the addition of a few new patients. But he still remembers us and was very friendly to us when Edwin, Jiancheng, Yoke Leng and I appeared at his house today. He [...]

Visit @ North Bridge Road (Mr Ding) 8 Sep 07

Posted by: Tai Qin on: September 8, 2007

 I think we managed to clean Mr Ding’s house pretty well today.  
We learned that he smokes Texas 5 cigarettes, and he was borned in Ipoh, Malaysia.
We tried to play Uno with him, but he was not interested.




You matter because you are
You matter to the last moment of your life
And we will do all we can
Not only to let you die peacefully
But to live until you die.
