Hello everybody.
More information on the CIP. Can we all dress in school bottoms and collegiate? And please be punctual and reach at 1.45pm. We don’t have the time to wait for latecomers.
I’m going to paste the lyrics here for convenience sake. Those with 3G phones please bookmark this or something so that you can just refer to this page for lyrics on that day. But your phones must support Javascript or something in order to be able to view it.
Smile by Charlie Chaplin
Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it’s breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
you’ll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You’ll see the sun come shining through
for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness Although a tear may be ever so near
That’s the time you must keep on trying
Smile what’s the use of crying
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you’ll just
Smile
I’ll just paste the rules blah blah here again though Esther has mentioned about it in the previous post.
Three Little Birds (Bob Marley)
“Don’t worry about a thing,
‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin’: “Don’t worry about a thing,
‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right!”
Rise up this mornin’,
Smiled with the risin’ sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin’ sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin’, (“This is my message to you-ou-ou:”)
Singin’: “Don’t worry ’bout a thing,
‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right.”
Singin’: “Don’t worry (don’t worry) ’bout a thing,
‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right!”
Rise up this mornin’,
Smiled with the risin’ sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin’ sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin’, “This is my message to you-ou-ou:”
Singin’: “Don’t worry about a thing, worry about a thing, oh!
Every little thing gonna be all right. Don’t worry!”
Singin’: “Don’t worry about a thing” – I won’t worry!
“‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right.”
Singin’: “Don’t worry about a thing,
‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right” – I won’t worry!
Singin’: “Don’t worry about a thing,
‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right.”
Singin’: “Don’t worry about a thing, oh no!
‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right!
Tears in Heaven (Eric Clapton)
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don’t belong
Here in heaven
Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven
I’ll find my way, through night and day
Cause I know I just can’t stay
Here in heaven
Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knee
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please
(instrumental)
Beyond the door
There’s peace I’m sure.
And I know there’ll be no more…
Tears in heaven
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don’t belong
Here in heaven
Cause I know I don’t belong
Here in heaven
Imagine (John Lennon)
Imagine there’s no Heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one
Hey Jude (Beatles)
Hey, Jude, don’t make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
Hey, Jude, don’t be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better.
And any time you feel the pain, hey, Jude, refrain
Don’t carry the world upon your shoulders
Well don’t you know that its a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder
Hey, Jude! Don’t let her down
You have found her, now go and get her
Remember, to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better.
So let it out and let it in, hey, Jude, begin
You’re waiting for someone to perform with
And don’t you know that it’s just you, hey, Jude,
You’ll do, the movement you need is on your shoulder
Hey, Jude, don’t make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
童年
池塘边的榕树上,知了在声声叫着夏天 草丛边的秋千上,只有蝴蝶停在上面 黑板上老师的粉笔还在拼命叽叽喳喳写个不停 等待着下课等待着放学等待游戏的童年 福利社里面什么都有就是口袋里没有半毛钱 诸葛四郎和魔鬼党到底谁抢到那支宝剑 隔壁班的那个女孩怎么还没经过我的窗前 嘴里的历史手里的漫画心里初恋的童年 总是要等到睡觉前才知道功课只做了一点点 总是要等到考试后才知道该念的书都没有念 一寸光阴一寸金老师说过寸金难买寸光阴 一天又一天一年又一年迷迷糊糊的童年 没有人知道为什么太阳总下到山的那一边 没有人能够告诉我山里面有没有住着神仙 多少平日记忆总是一个人面对着天空发呆 就这么好奇就这么幻想这么孤单的童年 阳光下蜻蜓飞过来一片片绿油油的稻田 水彩蜡笔和万花筒画不出天边那一条彩虹 什么时候才能像高年级的同学有张成熟与长大的脸 盼望着假期盼望着明天盼望长大的童年 一天又一天一年又一年盼望长大的童年
分享
时间已做了选择 什么人叫做朋友
偶而碰头 心情却能一点就通
因为我们曾有过 理想类似的生活
太多感受 绝非三言两语能形容
可能有时我们顾虑太多
太多决定需要我们去选择
担心会犯错 难免会受挫
幸好一路上有你陪我
与你分享的快乐 胜过独自拥有
至今我仍深深感动
好友如同一扇窗 能让视野不同
与你分享的快乐 胜过独自拥有
至今我仍深深感动
好友如同一扇门 让世界(变)开阔
情非得已
难以忘记初次见你 一双迷人的眼睛 在我脑海里 你的身影 挥散不去 握你的双手感觉你的温柔 真的有点透不过气 你的天真我想珍惜 看到你受委屈我会伤心 只怕我自己会爱上你 不敢让自己靠的太近 怕我没什么能够给你 爱你也需要很大的勇气 只怕我自己会爱上你 也许有天会情不自禁 想念只让自己苦了自己 爱上你是我情非得已 难以忘记初次见你 一双迷人的眼睛 在我脑海里 你的身影 挥散不去 握你的双手感觉你的温柔 真的有点透不过气 你的天真我想珍惜 看到你受委屈我会伤心 只怕我自己会爱上你 不敢让自己靠的太近 怕我没什么能够给你 爱你也需要很大的勇气 只怕我自己会爱上你 也许有天会情不自禁 想念只让自己苦了自己 爱上你是我情非得已 什么原因 我竟然又会遇见你 我真的真的不愿意 就这样陷入爱的陷阱
朋友
这些年一个人 风也过雨也走 有过泪有过错 还记得坚持甚麽 真爱过才会懂 会寂寞会回首 终有梦终有你在心中 朋友一生一起走 那些日子不再有 一句话一辈子 一生情一杯酒 朋友不曾孤单过 一声朋友你会懂 还有伤还有痛 还要走还有我
Rules:
Be kind, go with a heart to serve. It’s not all about CIP hours
DO NOT BE SHOCKED. Be prepared to interact with people who are senile, depressed, paralysed, dialect-speaking and people who pretend not to care or like you but inside they want the attention.
Topics TO TALK to them
“Have you eaten?” (Unless they are on feeding tubes)
Hobbies
Say “OK” to everything (Use some common sense when needed. Not really EVERYTHING lah)
Talk ONLY abt their children if they start the topic first
Tell them to “Get Well Soon”
Talk more about yourself than about them
Topics NOT TO TALK ABOUT:
Children (they may be abandoned by their children)
Their disease or sickness (they may be suffering from terminal diseases)
Religion
Life and Death
Their Age
LASTLY, PLEASE SING TOGETHER TOMORROW!
