Sunday's post (Interview at Old Folk's Condominium)

I know it's a bit late but hey, i reached home kinda late last night, so i decided to post yesterday's now =) i'll post another one tonight haha. (Today is monday btw)

Okay yesterday, i went with some of my friends from other classes to do a survey at the old folk's condominium at Tampines. It's wierd that the other 3 classes were asked to do the exercise as a group while Alphie told us to do it individually. But oh well, he's the lecturer, he calls the shots haha.

The old folks at the void deck were kinda unfriendly at first, so we went ahead to the higher floors. Our first interviewee was really kind and she even invited us into her house to talk about her grandchildren! She's one of the only ones that i have seen that are so close to their grandchildren.

There were a few others who are really kind and offered us packet drinks too! They're all kind hearted people.^^ But sometimes they talk for a little too long haha. Like on of the aunties she talked so long about irrelevant stuffs in Teochew and we could only stand there and listen. But it's okay, we're all understanding young adults. We listened till the very end =)

But actually we were supposed to ask for permission from the management of the building down at level two, called Evergreen Circle. We didn't know about that, but since it was closed on Sundays, we had to do our interview "Secretly" then. The elderly folk told us that it was because the management wanted the old folks to be protected from any suspicious characters and such, because they're old, people with ill intentions might come to harm them or rob their house or something. Indeed there had already been a case of robbery in the building.

So, we ended up surveying about 15 old folks. And of course i took the shared results too... No i'm not a freeloader =) i did help in some parts! After the survey i was too tired to do anything so we went to have dinner and i reached home at about 10pm. Then i was too tired to blog already.

Anyway, today i'm going to do my research and analysis, and tomorrow i'm going to print and bind my papers together. I should be able to hand up by tuesday. If not i'll do my analysis tomorrow and hand up by wednesday. Cheers!
