This little painting project was suggested and planned by CW. I always hope that will be able to do some volunteering works but also worry that will not be able to commit those long term or scheduled social works then will be a stress on fail to fulfil the promise. Luckily I have a soulmate whom also like to help people around and came out this brilliant idea to help our ex-landlord whom is a single, aged 70++ lady. She is alone in Singapore, without kids and still has to work to support herself and pay installment for her 3-rooms flat. She only earns few hundreds a month. CW and I knew her due to I rented her room before I married. She is optimistic lady even when she was nearly retrenched recently, I thought she will be very upset but she told me she still can look for other cleaning or cashier job. Fortunately she still can keep her work in the end. But due to this, CW realized we should do something to help her to ease her life burden, thus he proposed to paint her house and asked my opinion. Of course I agreed and feel proud for him as he has the passion to help the needy person. So after my ex-landlord accepted our proposal, we bought materials from JB and brought all the way the painting stuffs to start work on yesterday.

We plan to paint the house room by room by using 4 saturdays. First is the living hall, then first room, master room and lastly kitchen. So we are satisfy as we managed to complete the hall by two of us within a saturday. We have also invited some friends to join and hopefully the coming saturdays they will be able to make it and we can make the progress faster and better. Anyway, we believe with our sincerity and determination, this will be a success !
