Selamatkan Cinta

A must watch video. Eye opening and it'll make you think twice for your love on this materialistic world. :;(

No child gets left behind

I recently joined a group of NGO in doing good deeds to the community. This NGO group have gotten together made a body to help the less fortunate children.

One of their objectives is to give the same quality of education to these children that other children have. They run their services on all over klang valley, most of it is in orphanages. 

One of these places is this:

This place is located near by my place. I can't believe it. I've been living in this area for 7 years, and yet had no clue, that this place existed. 

This place caters to children who are orphans, poor and their mothers are single. And they're all girls. There's about 23 of them, ages 3 to 12 years old.

Since I love children and I love teaching them, I have decided to extend my services to them. 

So the first night I went, was just all about getting to know each other. The volunteers that came, were all from the male gender, and yes I was the rose among the thorn. All together there were 5 volunteers including me. The guys all split up and tutored the older groups, whilst I was in charge to a group of excited preschool girls. 

The activity I prepared for them was playing playdough. Boy were they excited to see them play with them. It kept them occupied for 2 and a half hours. 

I was so happy on the first day, being with them, that I made a commitment to come every Friday night. 

The second time I came, I was so happy to see a large group of female gender volunteers turning up. I was relieved that I was not the rose among the thorn again. This time a bigger group of volunteers came, and also the founders of the NGOs came. 

Some of these face looks familiar and  I think I've seen them on T.V. 

We introduced ourselves and got to know each other. They were a friendly bunch, and was also serious on educating these children. They also informed us that giving love to these children is first priority, and as well as giving them a sense of belonging. And we must create a bond with the children before teaching them the real stuff. Which I totally agree. 

So now there's a new reason to look forward to on Fridays! ^^

Dear you....

Dear blog,

Wow it's been what, 3 months since I made a post?

A side from being busy with work, I have been clueless to what I want to write. Tiap kali ada idea, my head goes blank.

Sigh!

A lot of things have happened in my life. Nak tulis, tapi don't know where to begin.

I shall take it oneday at a time.

Baby steps. Baby steps.

Lolol.

Life and Death

These lectures videos by Shiekh Yusha Evans are excellent, MashaAllah, and are a good reminder about the reality that each and every one of us will experience no matter what. He gives a really good explaination on what's to come when we leave the world. And it is actually a wake up for me. I love every second of this lecture.

Being Me

I'm uber excited that this sisters only conference is coming up. InsyaAllah, I will be attending it. I remember I went for the first time tahun lepas dengan my ex colleague. Itu pun curi curi masuk, my ex boss 'janji' nak bagi ticket free, tapi tak jadi, so she just snucked us in. This year I'm going to purchase my own tickets and go.
There's interesting speakers all lined up, one of which is Yusha Evans. I'm a huge fan of his lectures. He's a great speaker, MasyaAllah. I'm really looking forward to his talk on the event.

I'm super duper excited. I can't wait. I just have to wait for my gaji, and buy the early bird tickets. Kalo dulu, I get excited going to concerts and seeing celebrity. Now I get excited to going to talks that will upgrade my dean and my knowledge. Dah tua kot. And dah insaf lagi pun.

Outing

Last month, we took Amir to the zoo. He's been wanting to go to the zoo, for ages, so finally we decided to bring him there. 

Half of the zoo, was on renovation the day we decided to drop by for a visit. Which was a big disappointment, since the reptile was on closure, and Amir wanted to see the reptiles so badly. But what to do tak ada rezeki. And the other disappointment was we had to pay for the map of the zoo. As far as I know, the map used to be free. Guess they need the funds to the feed the animal. 

The conditions of the animals kat zoo tu, cuma Tuhan je tau.  I just can't believe that the zoo will be the future homes for 2 pandas. I do not know how the animals are going to survive. I just wish that the conditions of the existing animals were cared more before adding the panda in the zoo. 

Any ways here's a few picture of the zoo!

Orang Utan

Simba and Nala.... :p

When I saw this tiger, this Kim Jong Kook immediately popped in my head.

For those of you not familiar with Running man, KJK is associated with  the tiger, because garang-ness. 

Children's World-Mini petting zoo

Another animal associated with Running Man member that came flashing in my head, the minute I saw it....

Lee Kwang Soo. Why? Because dia tinggi macam giraffe. Hehehe

A couple of  weeks ago, we went to a sungai, near my parents' future retirement home. Beautiful river, not crowded, best part was that it wasn't polluted. I didn't find any rubbish in the river. We spent a couple of hours soaking ourselves, and listening to the sound of the river. It was super relaxing. An activity on which I don't mind doing every week.

Elections

Since, election is just around the corner, my mail box, has non stop been flooded dgn mail of the dominant party. I'm seriously getting sick and tired of it. It's seriously getting too much. I'm getting fed up, and I really can't wait for the elections to be over. Like seriously, 5th May, please come quickly.
