Date: Tuesday, December 08, 2009 Time: 12/08/2009 05:01:00 PM Orphanage for special children
It's a house located somewhere in SS23. Firstly, I was very, very shocked. I didn't know it was "special" till I entered the house and also seeing the sheer number of orphans made it worse. I estimate approximately 30 kids, 7 toddlers and 3 babies? It was a sad sight till two kids came running towards me, one giving me a hug, another pulling my hand to play with him. They were desperately in need of attention and love. So I entertained them but both were going in opposite directions and when I followed one child another would drag me back. So I had to distract one of them to go to the table and learn origami. Jeffrey was teaching them how to fold planes or something. ![]() The kid on the lower left is one of the three normal ones in this orphanage. The girl in the red dress was awfully shy, she'd keep smiling at me but wouldn't talk. Fibiee was there to help spread some love as well. ![]() The living room was mostly covered with blue cushions and 10 toddlers lied around doing nothing. I have no idea what condition it is, I remember I was told they were virtually paralyzed. ![]() A baby with cleft lips/palate, she just arrived a couple of weeks at that time. ![]() This girl got so attached to Fibiee she cried and wailed when we were leaving. Aww, someone adopt her! ![]() An afternoon nap would mean sleeping on the floor. The chairs behind them are actually to strap some of the children because they turn violent or were likely to get seizures. ![]() I'm not asking for donations or anything but if you have the time, why don't you visit them someday? Once a month with friends visiting different shelters each time and bringing candies. It'll definitely make them happy. ![]() I started to count my blessings since then. I thank God for my healthy body, my able mind, my clothes, cosmetics and my family. Even though I wished I wasn't part of them I'm grateful that at least I have one. Labels: Specials |

HAHAHA, he draws it so accurately. He remembered the color of my clothes and luggage, his expression was EXACTLY like that. Which was a look of confusion and surprise by the way I pronounced his moniker. It was funny that I read his blog for the first time two weeks before the awards then we were in the same group for the tour and now I get to see a caricatured me drawn by him. For those who don't know him should have a peep at his blog, it never fails to make me laugh hystertically and brighten my day. Wee! Labels: Specials |

For some, the high pitch was unbearably annoying but we were amazed at his vocals. Hannah brilliantly started screaming in her room and I followed. Like "OOOOH-AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!~!~" That was when I knew how hard it was, even if you could reach that high and hit all the notes perfectly you'd run out of breath in 4 seconds BUT VITAS?! He can sustain for 8 seconds. *hats off* While we giving it a few more tries in the room, Hannah's brother shouted "SHUT UP LA!" and a minute later her dad came up asking if something happened 'cus he heard someone shouting. We couldn't stop laughing. Moral of the story? Don't try this at home... unless you have a soundproof room. Labels: Daily's |

Date: Tuesday, September 29, 2009 Time: 9/29/2009 12:37:00 PM Stephanie's 21st birthday party
![]() Ten of us came rather early (actually on time but you know us Malaysians) and two were late. 2nd row: Kelvin, Lih Ren, Meng Yoei, Stanley 1st row: Me, Stephanie, Suling, Joshua & his girlfriend. ![]() Birthday cake was from Secret Recipe, um, white chocolate Macadamia nut. Delicious and unfortunately... fattening. T.T Kelvin was talking to someone about something and was in that position for quite some time. He finally started to use hand gestures and I followed, picture snapped by Suling. I didn't think he'd notice but he got his revenge by pulling my arm's red tie, zomg LOOK AT THAT evil face of his. Pity me and my pretty red bow. Thank you, Suling for tying it back for me again. I was speechless, didn't think Kelvin would retaliate like that. Simon was one of the late-comers, arriving after 10:30 but at least he wore red. The dress color for everyone was supposed to be red, taking a second look at the group picture before you can see not many people remembered/bothered.![]() It was awesome anyhoo, chatting and eating and eating. I loved the salad and desserts, most of the food was home-cooked. Great job Stephanie and aunty Kok. :] |
