Participants: Gary, Shangya, Siyi, Wang Huang, Xu Chen, Weihong

Food Collection:

1. Muslim food from Science canteen

2. Porridge bought in Chinatown coffee shop.

3. Fruits from Business Canteen and bananas from Sheng Siong

Uncle Edward's side:

1. Auntie Seah was not at home, we hung the food on her door.

2. New Uncle is not at home, neither his son does. His son told us that uncle was bathing when we visited for previous two weeks. If possible, try to see uncle in person next week.

3. Cantonese Uncle is still in SGH. We gave his muslim food to uncle Ali.

Uncle Ali's side:

1. Uncle Lee (Uncle Sam's roommate), BLK 3, 12-125, wants to be enlisted for ES. Arrange an interview for him next week if there is any vacancy.

2. Cat Uncle gave his food to his female neighbour. Please check whether he does this every week on next visit.

3. Auntie Woo told us she have cooking experience and hopes she can obtain relevant jobs. She wants to know the details of such available jobs (eg. working hours, payment, working environment, etc.)

Report on Service on 19July 2014 (by Ee Hwee)

Participants: Gary, Tingyan, Ee Hwee, Jia Hwee

Food collection:
1. Claypot from Arts canteen
2. Yong Tau Too from Science canteen
3. Snacks & fruit from Sheng Siong

Uncle Edward's side:
1. Helped Aunty Seah with house cleaning.
2. Cantonese uncle is still in SGH recovering from fracture on his left leg.
3. New uncle's son is currently staying with uncle. His son is looking for a job right now. For 2 weeks we were told that uncle was taking shower when we delivered food to his house. It will be good if next week people can get to see uncle in person.

Uncle Ali's side:
1. Uncle Ali had come back from Indonesia.
2. Helped Aunty Lee Ah Hong with house cleaning.

Our hall alumni Joshua and Mei Yi have recently come out with the idea of helping our elderly who are still fit and interested to work to take up flexible part time jobs such as babysitting, administrative work and provision of home-cooked food. Among the elderly we have asked so far, only Auntie Woo (Blk 3, 15-133) has indicated interest but yet to decide which job she prefers the most. She will inform us about that next week.

Uncle Sam has finished taking his medicine and will be going for a follow-up appointment next week at SGH @ 1:30pm. Anyone free to bring uncle for his checkup pls state in the WhatsApp group.

Report for Elderly Service on 12nd July (By Gary)

Participants:

Gary, Ee Hwee, Siyi, Gejing, Shenghao and Yimin.

Food collection:

Muslim and Chinese noodles stalls from Science canteen.
Fruits were collected beforehand at Business canteen.
Snacks were bought by Jia Hwee before service.

Uncle Edward side:

Auntie Seah was not home when we visited her. As such, her house is yet to be cleaned. (NOTE: Next week people take note!)
Cantonese Uncle remains hospitalised as he fractured his left leg. Currently, he is staying at SGH.
The new Auntie Cai from Blk 13 is again not home this week. Therefore, the interview was not done and needs to postpone to next week. (NOTE: Next week people take note!)

Uncle Ali side:

Both Auntie Chan Fan and Auntie Lee Ah Hoong were not at home when we visited them. Their houses were chosen to be cleaned by pest control by the authorities. However, we met Auntie Lee on our way down on level 1.
The 4 elderly in Blk 3 namely Cat Uncle, Uncle Sam, Auntie Leow and Auntie Woo were not in as they went for a church event.
Uncle Ali went for a fishing trip and was not in as well.
Uncle Hoo was surprisingly not home when we visited him. We passed the food to his Malay uncle though.
Uncle Paul is recovering well from his injuries. He said it was not really serious after all. Also, we only learnt that it was Uncle Paul's birthday on Sunday (13 July) when we saw some flowers on his table. (NOTE: Probably we could create a birthday chart for all our elderly and for his/her birthday week, we could send him/her some gifts or something. Just a suggestion!)
