My first impression of IMH was okay, it does not look like a mental hospital,it look like a normal hospital to me.When i reached IMH together with my friends,i felt a little worried,at the same time a little happy.I was worried that when we were playing some games,one of the patients will went crazy and try to kill us but of course they did not,otherwise we would all be dead.As we start out and get ready for the games,i was amazed,they were following our instruction without fail.Although we had to explained a few more times sometimes,but it was worth it,given time,they will actually learn lots of new skills(with the help from the IMH,Nurses,Doctors and us),well,more haste less speed.They looked like they enjoyed the games we organised.And sometimes if one of us dont give them a ball for basketball game,they will go "emo" until we pass them the ball.We had a hard time explaining/communicating with them but in the end,we did it.The IMH patients were very friendly and always give us a warm welcome before entering the wards.After the game,we went to have mini-celebration with the patients,i believe they enjoyed themselves as much as we do.i do not know about the others,but i did not regret going IMH for CIP.That day,they really did open my eyes,i am sure all of us feel proud of them.I believe they can recover from these illness as given chance,they surely will want to live a normal like us.
