Charity

I was invited to represent Management in a charity event held last Saturday. I thought it was going to be fun and I accepted. The event started with a convoy to Kuang from HQ at about 8:30am. I managed to squeeze in a nasi lemak (of course) before that.

The going trip was uneventful. I need to follow the bus with scooby. Boring boring..We reached the orphanage home within 30minutes and we unload some stuff to give to the kids. We started with a quick speech and then immediately after that followed by painting the hostels. I managed to sneak a few minutes playing ping-pong with the kids there before helping co-workers.

A kid named Sulaiman (8 yrs old) hung on to me for awhile and I showed him how to paint properly (I am no expert but I know what I was doing). The funniest thing happened. He asked cepu emas questions that stumped me. He asked why "Nabi Sulaiman can talk to jin". He followed with other questions that of similar nature - mind numbing stuff. I gave him a blank look when he asked that. But he was a cool kid. He just wants to talk to outsiders.

During lunch, one kid asked me if I drove scooby outside. I said yes and he started to talk abt cars. I like this kid :) I offered him ride around the area and he was elated. Later before we left, I drove him and a couple of friends around the village. They were happy and impressed. BTW, these are 8 year olds.

I drove home feeling a bit sad seeing what these kids are going through in their life. At the same time, I felt blessed to be able to share some time and do good deed for those kid.
