Celebrating CNY IN HOSPIS -19th Jan2012

"Lo Sang" irrespective of age or race..Happy Wishes all round

Queuing up for glorious food, all with compliments from volunteers.

Magic show

Games and fun organised by the permanent volunteer physiotherapist
Hospis organised a CNY party for the cancer patients on 19th January.  The place was gaily decorated with red buntings, ang pows and special calligraphy writings done by the patients.  The patients trickled in quite quickly, dressed in all kinds of red/pink dresses and cheongsams,  adding a wonderfully festive atmosphere to the  hall.   Food was prepared by the volunteers,  mostly yummy home cooked.  A young magician showed his sleigh of hands and there were games to engage all who were present.  Indeed, a most meaningful way to celebrate CNY!!!

Laughter Exercises with the Elderly


Chinese New Year is Just round the corner, and what kind of  exercise is best to welcome the auspicious Year of the Dragon?? - Lots of Laughter and Ang Pows, of course.   So with this in mind, I led the elderly with GongXi Laughter and Receiving  AngPows Laughter.  WooHoo,  everybody was laughing and smiling from ear to ear, in keen anticipation of all the Good Things and Blessings to come during this festive period.  Very Good, Very Good, Yeaaaah!!!
