Well, love for those who need it :)
Two colleagues brought food for Mr Jai yesterday and today, and A LOT of food. Mr Jai said the first one brought him a "seven-course" lunch! Haha. And he was very happy and surprised to hear that it was cooked by this guy's wife. He couldn't help but exclaim: "Lovely! Lovely! Lovely!" over the phone.
Today, another colleague visited with her dad and her dad gave him an ang pow. So nice. I'm pretty happy the old man has had a pretty filling Chinese New Year.
Just some interesting tidbits about this man. He told me that, as a former doctor, he still disposes of expired medicine of his the correct way. Said you can't just throw the pills into the dustbin carelessly in case of drug abuse. Someone could pick them up and consume them. I don't know who could be so desperate anyways!
So he pours the pills into empty tins and fills them with leftover (think unsold) food from a stall that someone sends over to his house. I saw curry once in the tins. He then lets the concoction ferment before throwing the tin away. This way, the medicine gets disposed of properly.
Oh yes, he says it's a good way of clearing the junk in his house too, cos he has tins and cartons packed to the ceilings! How methodical.
