PRE-TRIP

Before the visit to the old folk’s home began, I thought that it would be a drag because I cannot imagine myself interacting with people 3-4 times my age. The generation gap is huge and there will be no relatable content that I can share with them. Thus, I wasn’t really looking forward to visiting the old folks home because of the fear of not being able to interact with them effectively.
During-TRIP

When the elderly first entered the venue, I still had the thought of not being able to talk to them. However, when the elderlies finally settled in, some of them looked lonely and bored so I decided to approach them with attempts to interact.

Although the first few attempts failed, when I first succeeded having a normal and constant conversation with an elderly, the inner me felt accomplished. I tried to keep the ball rolling, sparking conversations with different elderlies nearby. A simple greeting or questions such as ‘’have you eaten?’’ formulates conversations. When I see them laughing and smiling when I'm talking to them, it warms up my heart.

Moreover, during the games and singing performances, smiles started appearing on many other elderlies like they were really enjoying the programme.  After the programme ended, I still can see the smiling expressions lingering on the elderlies’ face like they had a lot of fun.
Post-Trip/ Reflection

After the programme, I felt extremely grateful for this trip because never would I imagine talking to someone much older than me and making them laugh. After this trip, I realised that senior citizens do not receive a lot of attention and love from their own families. Thus, the community has to put in effort to make these elderlies smile so that they would not feel left out of society.

SG Secure Talk
- SgSecure is a national movement in Singapore to prepare all Singaporeans against terrorist attacks . Since Singapore is an advance country, there's a high tendency that Singapore are likely to be targeted by terrorist group. Through the SG Secure Talk, i have learnt that:
- we need to stay alert at all times
- help one another, during at terror attack
- be united as one
- how to react during a terror attack and how to get to safety

CNB Talk
On the 8th of November, CFS invited two ex drug addicts to our school to give us a talk about drugs. They shared about their experiences with drugs and how it have affected their lives. They both shared that they had been in and out of jail for many years, because of the addiction. The addiction had destroyed
From the CNB talk i learned:
- To mix around with the right people and right friends.
- do not be easily influenced and have self control. learn to say NO
- love yourself as much as you love others
- life is precious

CPR-AED Workshop
On the 1st of November, we attended a CPR-AED Workshop aka IDARE. It taught me the importance of being proactive in such situations.
We were taught on how to perform CPR on someone unconscious and also learned how to use an AED kit. I have always wanted to learn CPR and I feel that this is an important skill(?) that everyone should learn because life is unpredictable and we might help save a life.

Cross-cultural skills (Local day trip on 9 Jan)  

# data[].attributes.body
On 9 Jan, we went to Bhaskar's Art Academy, where we learnt some Indian dance moves and tried various instruments such as the Veena, Violin and a drum.
Then, we went to Aliwal Arts Centre where we learnt some Malay dance moves and tried the traditional Malay drums like the Kompang.
Finally, our last stop was at Goodman Arts Centre, where we learnt about Chinese opera, costumes worn by the actors and learnt some moves with the Chinese opera horsewhip.
Knowing that each race has their interesting history and background, I learnt to understand and respect other races and religions.

Critical & Inventive thinking (Entrepreneurship & social enterprises )
- Entrepreneurship talk session
I learnt that every business will not have smooth start at the beginning. Based on their experience, i learnt that there is a point time where their business will be a success and later that you know that the business becomes a failure. All it matters that you should have courage to stand once again even when you face failure because failure is the just the beginning of success.They have to be open to challenges in any situation and work very hard to prove your capability to people on what you believe in till the end as an entrepreneur like Keith Tan, officer of Zeemart
- Social enterprises
I learnt that we should be more open to accept and help people like ex-convicts.This because everyone deserve a second chance. They are also a human being like us but it just that they might had make mistakes in the past. This could be illustrated on how eighteen chef provide jobs for ex-convicts.

So to sum up whatever we learned in PDE this semester, basically it taught us many different things from understanding and appreciating the culture of others to learning how to perform CPR and how to use the AED kit. It also taught me to contribute to the community by giving concern to the old folks.
