Before the trip to Imh ,
my impression on the mental patients will be
keep in individual 'Cushioned Room'.
They will mumble to themselves ,with their messy hairdo.
Acting like abnormal people and do things that will surprise us.
But i was totally wrong with my thoughts, they lived their life just like us.
One of the event that made me changed my impression on them was when we were playing telematch at the basketball court.
They are not as what i had thought and had coperated well with us.
Like when jerrold requested the patients to form into rows of five,
they quickly moved into their positions.
If there was opportunity for us to go again ,
i believe our group will do another round of telematch
to boast their confidence level and helps them in their recovery.
One thing that our group can improved on was communication.
I can see that our group membes have very little good speakers
and we are shy to speak to them.
One of the person who changed my view for her was Shufei.
Because of this Service Learning Project ,
She took the effort to prepare the refreshment and games stuff.
Like sewing the bag of beans for the telematch usuage.
To me , i choosen benefiting the community is more important as
we are able to make a change for the patients.A change for hope , love and joy !
Visitors like us are there to chat with them , concern about them and share our precious moment together.
Before our class agreed to go Imh ,
Mr Goh gave us 2 choices , Insitute Mental Hospital or Old Folk's Home.
I thought that my classmate will choose to go old folks home rather than imh
as given their characters my classmate may play a prank or make fun of the patients.
To my surprise , they had choosen to go to imh and not only did they friendly to the patients
and they put in alot of effort to make them happy.
This had changed my view on them.
