I went to fetch my ex colleagues for dinner and ended up, chauffeuring an old man to his old and dirty apartment at the Pekeliling flats.<br>He said he has been sitting on the pavement in the sun, after he fell and couldn't get up since 1 pm and nobody helped him. The time I fetched him at 6 pm, he was already reeking of urine smell because he couldn't get up to pee so he peed in his pants. He kept apologizing for dirtying my car.<br>We bought cans of biscuits to visit him the next day. His neighbours told us, he has a few children and none of them came to see him since a few years ago and he was left alone here, with his mentally unstable brother.<br>It breaks my heart to see an elderly man being treated this way..ungrateful little bastards he had.ginanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-768926762879833006.post-63724349713463675722009-02-10T16:12:56.000+08:002009-02-10T16:12:56.000+08:00god bless you gina for your kind heart.god bless you gina for your kind heart.someonenoreply@blogger.com
