Yours truly was at the eCurve recently to witness a group of senior
citizens from Lovely Nursing Centre,
Petaling Jaya enjoy an afternoon of festive cheer, musical thrills and an
all-round good time by the management of eCurve.
The 20 senior citizens along
with their guardians from the home were made the guests of honour for the
evening, as they were taken back in time to a setting reminiscent of the
roaring twenties.
Immersed in the nostalgic backdrop of a courtyard within a grand mansion setting at eCurve’s Centre Atrium, the folks from Lovely Nursing Centre were able to experience the Christmas festivities through a whole different era.
In line with their theme,
eCurve’s Whatta Ritzy Christmas
musical brought the senior citizens back to their younger years, as they swayed
to jazzy upbeat tunes and classic favourites.
With dancers dressed in flapper dresses and stylish suits jumping and jiving to a constant driving beat of swing and jazz, the performance was truly the highlight of the occasion, bringing smiles to the guests faces throughout the show.
Azizul
Hisham Ahmad, Centre Manager of eCurve, said, “It was a pleasure to spend time
with the senior citizens from Lovely
Nursing Centre and we are glad to have had the opportunity to share such an
enjoyable experience with them today."
"We sincerely hope the Christmas musical performance gave them a bright and merry start for the festive season. As always, we look forward to creating more memorable moments in the months and years to come.”
Each year hundreds of thousands of seniors all over the world are neglected by close family members and caretakers, and conveniently forgotten by society.

Physical neglect means not providing an elder with adequate and necessary medication or physical therapy, and not taking care of an elder's personal hygiene needs, or forcing an elder to live in unsanitary or potentially harmful conditions.
Psychological neglect means leaving an older person alone for long periods of time and failing to provide any social contact, activities, or information.
So it is always heart warming when a company or mall or such remember them and celebrate them to make them feel special, even for just a while.. we have to somehow remember that we will someday grow old too and we would want people remembering us as well as spending some time with
us...
