Favourite Football Club

Good Evening,

My Favourite Football Club Is Manchester United. They are the best club. My Team Nickname is Red Devils and we have a supporters club in Orchard Road, called the Devil's Bar.

I wish I could get the new jersey because the new jersey looks nice. Our New Shirt Sponsor Is AIG. Manchester United have good soccer players like Ronaldo from Sporting Lisbon, Rooney ( former Everton Player) & Michael Carrick ( former Tottenham Hotspurs Player)

Barcelona stars Deco, Samuel Eto'o and Eidur Gudjohnsen have all been strongly tipped for moves to Manchester in recent weeks, while Manchester City's Micah Richards is also a shock contender to be Gary Neville's long-term replacement.

Long-term targets Owen Hargreaves and Nani allegedly make up the trio, although they are by no means the only names linked with Old Trafford.

Exercises For The Elderly

Four types of exercises are important for older adults:

1) Endurance activities increase heart rate and breathing for extended periods of time. They improve the health of the heart, lungs, and circulatory system, and have been shown to help prevent or delay some diseases.

2) Strength exercises make older adults strong enough to do the things they need to do and the things they like to do.

3) Balance exercises help prevent falls, a major cause of disability in older adults.

4) Stretching helps keep the body limber and flexible.

Exercise is like a savings account. The more u put in , the more you're going to get out of it. ''

Life At Saint Joseph's Home

Hi Everybody,

I worked Monday to Friday and my working time is 9am to 1pm. every day my father drove me to work and say '' Good Morning'' to the guard who is sitting there everyday.
I walk to the dining hall where all the residents there have their daily meals. So I went to look for my punch card and I punched the time I came in for work.

after I punched my card, if one of the residents there want to go the physio room for excercise. I will wheeled them to the physio room. once reached the physiotherapy room and I will help them locked their wheelchair. and I will report to my Occupational Therapist.

Every Tuesday and Friday
Inside the OT room, we hav ADL- Activities Daily Living
we teached them how to comb their hair, eat, different shaped which is fork and spoon, wear their clothes and trousers, and take a bath.

It usually takes 5-15mins.

Some of the residents will do in the morning and some in the afternoon because some of the residents came for exercise late.

Raining Day

Hi,

Early Monday morning about 7.00am, it was raining heavily. I Wake up suddenly because I Had a slight flu, so I Went to the kitchen to have a cup of warm water. after I drank the warm water, I go back to my room to rest on my bed for a while. after rest for a while, I go and use my parent's room toilet to wash my face and brush my teeth.

After I brush my teeth, I get ready to change into my working uniform and do the last minute checklist to see what is missing from my bag that I carry everyday.

My Breakfast was red bean pancake that my mother baked at the shop yesterday. so I took the pancake from the fridge and I Turn on the microwave to make hot the pancake.

after I ate the pancake, I must drink some water to wash down my throat so that my throat won't be so dry.

I wore my shoes and say goodbye to my mother. My father drove me to work. I say '' Good Morning'' to the guard who is sitting there.

I reached my workplace at 8.55am. so I punched the time on my punch card. I walk slowly to the Occupational Terapist Room.

I give the puzzle to one of the resident and I ask her squeeze the heart shaped balls 5x and put it into the empty basket next to her. I also said '' Good Morning '' to Carthy & Elizabeth and one of the resident named Kitty. She will always say '' Good Morning'' to those who walked past her and to us.
