Report for Service on 24 Aug (by Ka Woon)

Participants: Amelia, Chuxi, Ee Hwee, Zhao Hang, Yang Sheng, Ka Woon, Henry, Shenghao

Today Biz canteen fruits stall gave the elderly something different - Yummy Soya Milk!

Void Deck:
1. We can give Uncle Lee Whay's food to Aunty Lee Ah Hong in future.
2. Aunty Nelly was quiet today. Her right foot was swollen and she was coughing. Her next breast cancer appointment is 4 Oct, but she told her nephew that she doesn't want to go. She also has many bags of welfare food (about 6 newly collected bags?!) stocked up in her living room. Pls check on her again next week.
3. Arthritis Ah Ma can speak English and Malay well as she used to work for a lawyer in the past. She said "Shut up" to the contractors who were making noise at the void deck!
4. Aunty Roseita is having a lot of difficulty walking because of poor eyesight (prob cataracts). She cannot see the path in front of her and has a very high risk of falling. She is asking for a walking stick, as well as a handbag. Second-hand is fine. Anyone has unwanted hand bag to give her?

Blk 11:
1. Auntie Arthur asks us to buy floor washing detergent and a new plastic water bottle. Since she is still mobile and can buy on her own, we told her that she can request for a present at our Christmas Grant-A-Wish event if she wishes us to buy for her. If she insists, perhaps we can ask her to pass us the money and offer to buy groceries for her, like how we used to for Grocery Aunty.

Blk 12
1. Uncle Wong from #03 (recently added) was not at home.

Blk 3
1. Uncle Lee Whay has been discharged from SGH some time ago, probably moved to nursing home. However the Seniors' Activity Center (SAC) refuses to disclose where Uncle is now.
2. Uncle Paul was not at home.
3. Aunty Leow will be out next Sat. Double-knot and place food in trolley.
4. Uncle Ali is back from Batam and has recovered from his flu.

We interviewed a new aunty from Blk 2 #03 who is Aunty Leow's friend. Chuxi will update us on the results.

Things to note:
1. Pass laundry back to Aunty Nelly and Aunty Lee Ah Hoong.
2. Pass Uncle Lee Whay's food to Aunty Lee Ah Hoong.
3. Check on Aunty Nelly's condition.
4. Check if we will be providing service to the new Aunty that we interviewed.
