Final tap practice

Went back to school for cca today. As it's the hols and constructions are being done in school so there were very few people around. Had a hard time trying to locate the air-con control but luckily Roslind was around to help. Feel quite bad that the elderly cleaners had to do hard labour but couldn't help them.
Told Phil that this might be the final tap practice I'm with them because when the new semester begins, my cca would be changed to choir. Will definitely miss them as bonds have been made but it's not really up to me. A pity that in this 1.5 years, I didn't really pick up any tap moves frm the practices as normally when I join them for the cca, am too tired after class. I was more preoccupied with maintaining discipline and noting the attendance.
When the session ended at 2pm, we decided to walk over to Rivervale Plaza for lunch. On our way there, we saw a really frail old lady sitting on the side of the road. It was worrying as she didn't seem to realise how dangerous it was and apparently, she was trying to get a cab. Though we have walked past her, felt uneasy that no one is helping her so we headed back to see if we could help.
She didn't have clear vision, was hard of hearing and was too weak to stand on her own. Kept waving out to vehicles thinking that they were cabs. Even when we helped her to stand up, she was trembling terribly. Was so worried that she will fall or knocked down by a vehicle as she was moving so slowly.
She wanted to go to somewhere in Punggol but could only converse in teochew. In my broken teochew, tried to help her find a cab. The first cab driver didn't understand where she wanted to go and advice us to bring her home or call for the police as she might be lost. Phil raised a gd point if police were called, the old lady might have a bad experience. The funny thing was when the lady comprehended that the first cab driver didn't want to bring her to her destination, she kept saying "yi dao" (he's proud) and that normally when she tells cab driver, they know where it is and will bring her. Caught sight of a lanyard she wore around her neck with her photocopied IC. Only saw a handwritten block which was just behind us and couldn't get her to show us the actual address as she was very protective of her things. Wanted to bring her home but she was very persistent to get a cab.
The second cab driver who was changing shift at punggol didn't even have the patience to wait for us to bring the lady to his cab. Just drove off while the next cab driver who stopped, was an indian and used the excuse that he couldn't communicate with the old lady so didn't want to take her. A kind auntie who walked past tried to help convince the old lady to go home. I felt that the old lady realised the auntie is someone who couldn't help her get a cab, as she actually hand-signed that she can't hear what the auntie was saying...
Really felt very lost cos can't just leave her there and there's no way we could find help from the old lady's family. Finally, a kind cab driver stopped by and using his magnifying glass, managed to figure out the address on the old lady's photocopied IC. Felt a sense of relief that a cab driver was willing to bring her there and the old lady finally got what she wanted. As we sent her off, Phil told the kids that next time when they grow up and have old people at home to really take care of them. Feel so sad for the old lady...I wonder if she has kids of her own...
Had our lunch at koufu only around 3+pm and spent a gd time chatting with Phil before going home to start packing my luggage.
