Today i was asked to volunteer at an old people's home in North Point for 5 or 10 minutes . I was scared to go not being able to speak Cantonese apart from a few useless words and happy new year. Turns out smiles and a few useless words are enough to share happiness . not only did these guys there make my day, they gave me a lesson in love and a appreciation of small things in life that the older generation have to offer to us. And as much as it seems we know that old age is coming , i don't think we actually realise it will be us one day .
