KL Feeding programme

It was a whole new experience for me. Before i went, my dad was telling me about the people and the environment. It sounded scary. The people i would see but have no idea what background they're from. They could be drug addicts, prostitutes, crippled and so on. I looked forward to it as a new experience but also felt scared as to actually be in their presence, seeing how they would look when they come for their food.

When i got there, we helped pack food and drinks. We were told to expect about 360-380 people. We also had to peel eggs. haha some were not so in good shape and it was pretty messy. Never had to deal with so many eggs at once haha...pails and pails came. We even got used to the smell in the kitchen haha.

When we started to go down, walking pass the packed place full of people, i observed and took a look around. Because we were all wearing the same shirts and walking together, people started to turn and look. I saw the faces of some of them. Some looked scary, some look really pitiful and the look on their faces weren't very settled in a way. So i thought "oh, so all these people are poor desperately need the food that the church serves every week."

I was put in charge with Tania and Kaelynne to give out bananas. some of them were really sticky. eeuuww haha. We were given instructions to strictly not allow anyone to have the chance to take them on their own or exchange. It wasn't easy. A few old women reached out to take their own bananas. So, we decided to stand right in front of the basket to block. haha.

Well i thought these people would be too desperate for the food and take anything we give them as long as its edible. I thought these people were old and poor that we being there would need to provide for them and show sympathy. After a few observations, i realised i wasn't quite right.
Apparently, these people have no homes. Most of them at least. But my friend and I saw how some of them don't really 'look' like they're that desperate. Some wore nice decent clothes, even had a good build compared to some who really look messy and dirty.
During the briefing, we were told not to talk to them too or show them too much care or else we would be taken advantage of. Which was true. Some took their food and said 'thank you'. Most of them just came, took the food and walked away without a look of thankfulness. Well they've been here for many many uncountable times so i don't know if they still are as grateful.

There was once when a man dropped the egg given to him. Instead of happily recieving a second one being handed out, he walked off and threw the whole packet of food into the drain!!!! That was a scene i never thought i'd see. I was shocked at how this man could behave this way when he should be desperate for the food. Then i friend explained to me why. She said, some people here are grateful for being served but there are some who think that it was the duty of us to serve them well. When things like these happen, they tend to get offended. Then there was another incident where my friend's mother accidently spilled curry on a lady's hand. She was shocked as the lady scolded her as if to pick a fight with her. My poor friend's mom got a fright and she never could forget. Later during our break, she kept talking about how scary that lady was. So yea, the way these people behave got me thinking. Not everyone is 'poor and desperate' and that it would be easy to please them.

This was really an eye-opener for me. We stood serving the hundreds of people there for about 45minutes non-stop. Many a times, i thought ''when is the line going to end?". It never looked like it was going to.

After our group was done giving out food, the other group dealing with the clothing and toiletries still had a lot to do. That was a more difficult task. The information of each person was key-ed into the computer system and each time they were given something, it had to be key-ed in. This is so that the next time the person comes for something, the list is checked as to when was the last time they took an item and whether they actually need it then. For example, if a guy took a big tube of toothpaste a week ago and asks for one this week, he wouldn't get it because that tube was to last for more than that duration. So imagine, it's tought work man. The piles of clothing have to be sorted out too to be packed together under categories. EVERY WEEK. All the cooking,packing,sorting out, feeding and keying in information had to be done every week. Hundreds of people depend on this programme for their meals. It was possible that this meal could be the only meal they had for the week. wow.

There were rare times when there were no volunteers to help on that sunday and the feeding programme couldn't go on. I imagined hundreds coming and realising that there was no food today. After their effort of travelling they came to find out they wouldn't get their meal this week. Really such a sad scene.

Honestly, its tiring and now i know why its not encouraged for younger ones even like me to go for this. The surroundings and location cannot promise much safety. I might go again, someday. Truly was something that got me out of my comfort zone.

I thank God for his blessings and i hope that the programme will be able to show not just how they try to provide for the poor but to show that they do this because God has led them to. The amount of people others stay away from....its too many.

Jas' 18th!!!

Finally it was the 24th of July. Time flies. Its Woon's 18th birthday!!!! wheee!!!

After CF, Victor drove to MCKL to pick Manda up and scout for some kind of present for Jas. We finally decided : FLOWERS. bouquets of flowers!!!
We ended up getting....
INDIAN flowers. hahahahaha
We passed a shop that sold "Jasmine flowers"...but it was a shop mainly involved for funerals..wooo..."shiver"...so we walked and walked..at least we got something =).
Then, Manda and I practiced our 'flower arrangement' on the walls of MCKL. fuh! haha...oh well

The three of us kinda practiced on how to sing her birthday song and give proposing actions with the flowers. Haiyo this is how crazy we have become after so many years of schooling hahaha..

So we creaped into the building. so called. We ended up outside Jas' econs class. Victor did his super funny ninja hiding skill!!!!! *bend, turn turn turn to the end of the corridor*..what a sight to see!! hahaha...we looked like silly people who seem to be stalking some one..laughed so much under our breath...phew!

Then, the moment came! Manda greeted Jas with her bouquet of flowers before Victor and I went to create more noise and nonsense. No idea why i got on my knees...((oh no...*unconscious desire)) gaaaahh!!! hahahaha...yea but it was great!!! =)..we were happy, she was happy. smiles.

So we adjent to Secret Recipe in Sri Petaling after many wrong turns and traffic..geram geram..
I broke my "No choco for 1 month"...crap..again...haiyo lynette lynette apa macam..haha.
Yummyyyy....cakey...choco...mmm-mmm.....and i took some snaps with Sierra. Capture awesome smiles and awesome cake and Victor's fried potato alphabets! hehe...i love you Sierra! though looking at you always breaks my heart...ouch...poor you..*pat pat*

After that, Victor sent Jas home, Manda and I to my place..long way for him..long drive..
"Sorryyyy victor!!!!!!!! i feel really bad...will make it up to you..someday. And thanks so much for sending me home...sorry you had to be caught up in the bad bad jam"

Once again, HAPPEEE BIRTHDAY JASMINE WUAN!!!!!!!! love you!!! =)

Eclipse of the SUN!!!



Woo it must have been so cool to be in darkness during the day for 5 minutes!! not that we don't get enough darkness at night but it's the irony that's pretty interesting..haha

God somehow placed the moon in such accurate distance that it fully covered the sun. Awesome God!!! Mum said it would be really cool if the distance was bigger, then it'll be a ring of light in the sky. Not that is really really something beautiful to see. Silver ring..wow..* imaginary bubble pops* haha..

Fuh!!!

I was behind the wheels of the X-Trail today!!!! was only the drive to church but i had a feel of it..it was WOW. Really regret of missing the chance for the Prado. Both my parents didn't think about it earlier. Dad said that had a lot of power compared to the X-Trail which was really light. sighs. I wish i had the chance...man...

Today i felt pretty ill..i sneezed quite a bit yesterday due to the terrible irritation of the haze. Today, i woke up with a painful throat and a bit of a cough. Was drinking lots of water during church.

I helped mum make dinner today. Pasta!!! yummy!!! hehe...oh i had to touch raw onions and the juice...eeuuuwww...well i think that's not as bad as garlic la..ugh! haha...i cried a lil'...couldn't breathe...my goodness..
So yea, frying beef...stir stir...haha...
Dinner was awesome!!!!

My new TOY!!!!!


See See?? the smiley face theme!! soo cute!!

YES!!!!!!! i have a new phone at last!!!! been waiting since dunno when but yay!!! superrrr happy!!! was kinda surprised when i got it...didn't seem real..haha

okay lets start by talking about my day =)
I followed the DR for a hike in the morning at Kota Damansara. Now i know there's actually a forest reserve there. It was great. Got my morning walk with little kiddos...haha they were complaining about when the trail's gonna end and how long more..
It was about an hour or less. I enjoyed the cool in the forest, looking at the different shapes of leaves. hmm i like the feather-looking ones...thin long leaves. When the sun shines, lil sparkles between the leaves are really nice. Too bad i didn't bring my camera along. oh well.

So during the walk, there were many "eeuuuww"s and "oooo"s...there were leaves growing out of trees which looks like steps..twirly tree branches..like as though it was made of plastercine and twisted..haha. Many creepers on tress...very even gap between the curls i would say.haha..
Thank God, no leeches...i only spotted ONE worm....pheew!!!!!

My sister has a very 'unique' character. She doesn't talk much. With older guys. hahahaha. They tried...quite a lot but never seem to get to her...really funny. And i tease her about it at home. And she gives me the "shy-whatever" look. haha. So weird. Her friends are alright...it's just her..hmm..

After i got home, i ate and bathed...then went to midvalley to have a combined birthday for Jas and Pong. Actually Vincent's birthday today itself but he was busy...sad. Anyway, we had our lunch in chillies...we had bottom-less chips..over and over and over again. wow. Never had it before when i went there with my famly. Besides, there weren't many of us. hehe. So we talked about present stuff and where we were studying and all. Oh and Manda got these cute cupcakes for them!!! soo cute!!!! i like the sheep...awwww hehe...too cute to be eaten..

So adorable!!!!

The sheeeeeeep!!!! and rabbit. haha


Chips!!!




Braces people!!


Eee!! chewing on celery stick!!!


After that we went to starbucks to chat since guys going shopping wouldn't work. Didn't manage to use my voucher thingy..yet..
Many of us left already since everyone had something to do. Victor dropped me at the lrt station and jas to church. Had our talk. As always everyone has issues and things we need to let loose with friends we were close with. It's pretty sad we all don't study together anymore. And victor's going back to foundation..sigh..i'm still...stuck?? i dunnooooo i hate thinking about it...makes me worry but i'm not sure what the reason's for. sigh. oh well...i hope God has it all planned for me. i really hope so.

Then, dad, mum bro and I went for tea...i slept in the car on the way there..so tired. And after that, i asked my dad if we could go to Digital mall to see phones..i wanted to check prices. Mum was backing me up..I love my mummy..haha..dad wasn't very keen on it as usual. So we suggested the small shop at SS2...

Went there, showed mum which phone i have been targetting and found out the price...same price my bro got his for..haha...soo i couldn't believe it...we just got the phone...wow. I was in a shock/blur...like "ooo. i just got a new phone. wow..finally"...hahahaha..

I should name it. hmm...definately a girl since it's white and red....

"Sierra"

Been thinking about that name. It's from the book i'm reading. haha. The lively-smiley-cute-affectionate character of the lil' girl. yup.

I'm so happy!!!!! i have a new toy to play with!! finally i can carry a camera everywhere without forgetting..it's not the best but it's good enough. =)..thank God for my new phone!!! patience pays off...ALWAYS i realize...smiles..

Reading reading reading

Oh yes that's what i have been doing for the past many many days.....instead of doing house chores...sighs.
Really moves you!!!!

I have decided to finish this 600+ pages book i got for my birthday during my long break...before i knew it, the book was awesome!!!! i read non-stop and was actually scared i would finish it too soon....what did i do? i grabbed another book to read first. haha. weird me. hmm i finished that thin one in a day..oh no...

So i went to Evangel to buy a book by the same author of that thick book...that kept me busy for 2 days..hahaha....dropped by the bookshop to get mounting board for my 'art&craft'.



I needed to work on the CF sign board. I was looking forward to do it...the one issue i had : WHAT DESIGN????? oh i ran ideas over and over in my head but i couldn't settle on one idea...sighs...so i just grab colour papers and did something simple...i wanted an autumn kinda shade : red, orange and yellow...and i found out i didn't have ORANGE PAPER...gaaahh!!! how did i not have that colour?? so i did measuring and cutting and erasing...craft really takes time away fast. I did it for about 2-3hours...it turned out okay i guess...i was glad at least the letters were straight...and i checked the spelling over and over to make sure..(my dad actually tried to trick me at night but i knew i checked it already haha)..phew!

I'm glad im doing a lil' more to serve in CF. I had a call too, asking for a favour today. But i told my friend i wasn't ready....oh well i hope 1 day i would be..smiles..

Jamie, my hero!



Today is Jamie Lim's 21st birthday!!! the PASTOR's DAUGHTER. haha. the girl who stood for what she believed in. Took her risks. Challenged herself. Cared and loved those around her. Never made one feel left out. And that's only a part of her.
No matter what she put herself in, Jamie
Always got support.


And so, today is the day we showed her how much we loved her.
Yesterday, the whole bunch of them went shopping for a present and ended up getting a dress and a pair of shoes for Jamie. Made her wear them today. haha.
After dinner, we watched a video on Jamie's day. The things she had to do on her birthday, the tasks she had to complete. oh poor her. hehe.
Jamie looked stunning!!! is that the word?? oh well...cool-funky-fun hairsyle, black and white dress and shoes which made clicking sounds!! haha..a different her today. Being all sporting and enjoying the 'fun' everyone put up for her.
Then, we being girls went to the restroom and snapped pictures!! there was a huge mirror there that tempted us...haha..such fun in there...smiles.



Got home about midnight...*yawns*...cheewoh cheewoh..you and your 'stunts'..tsk tsk tsk...haha...thanks for sending me homeeee =)

Transformers...finally =)


Finally...finally...haha

Wooooo it was amazing!!! the effects were really cool with cool sound effects too!!! *boom boom* *vibration* wooo...awesome!!! Bumble bee is the hero!!! the way he speaks through radio makes him the special-est!! the cars..*big eyes*...and of course...megan fox..hahaha....

David picked the few of us up. I actually thought they would be quiet on the way to 1u since i brought a friend along..but..i was wrong....it was...nooise all the way...*poor me*...hahahaha...but i'm glad they didn't stone anyway...i have great friends i thank God for =)

After the movie...(brrr was freezing in there)...my friend and 1 decided to have dinner...and warm up..haha...ended up in Italiannies..surprisingly i've never been there before. hahaha. The place was pretty empty since it was already 9pm...hahaha my friend was saying how 'good' it is to go out with a 'hot chick' to get good service...hahaha...i watched as he got them to bring this and that and had requests for lil' things. haha it's actually true...awww all the poor guys...ouch.
So everyone else went CC-ing while i wait for my dinner (aww i wanted to go too since they won't be around for long). Oh well...left4dead could wait..haha

As he called it, we had our 'berbonding session'. haha. We talked about all kinds of stuff during dinner...school, sports (which i miss soo much), family and random stuff...fun fun =)

After being stuffed, we walked all over the place...i think if there were a video watching us, it would be a really funny clip, *walk walk walk, up escalators, walk walk..down escalators, walk walk...round and round* hahaha...and finally we realised and decided to sit still....

I'm glad and thankful for friends in my life....haha i think i've said this over and over again already. Here i go again. hmm. But really...God had given me friends to talk to, for different situations i go through. It's really a wonder how my mind switches depending on who I talk to...weird..

It was a good time...over and over i let out old memories and i get different opinions from different people. Different people give different views and advice. Leaves me things to ponder on..

Thank God for the day. =) and once again, Woohoo transformers!!!

Sunday!!!

I have danced...three sundays in a row...aiyoo...lack of sleep haha..
The speaker was really good..American..psychologist too..woo!...what he said left thoughts in my head...it stayed there for awhile for me to think about it...which is really true...when people do something different from others these days, we tend to judge them or attribute their ways externally...just because its not the norm of how things ARE. Words like:
"hey man what are you doing?? that's not how we do it these days!"
"whoa i'll support you in whatever you do but are you sure you want to do this?"
"ermm...i think you shouldn't do that..let other people do it, why you?"
"oh come on, don't be such a show off and try to take all the attention"

yea....was like...wow he's really right..hmm

So,after church, followed parents for lunch with friends and read my super thick book given to me as a present which i plan to finish during the hols.

At 4pm, i picked up my siblings from church. Again today, "a chance to serve&give and yet not to have a huge commitment to the whole thing" . It's a joy to do...inside i think i do have it =)..

About 5pm, friend called and said "hey i'm outside your house now already". Caused me to run up and down to go for impromptu sports. haha. okay. Anyway it was good since family was going out to watch Transformers (which i havent..till tomorrow haha)..so yea at least i had something to do...yay!! Played frisbee....woo my friend threw really well! bruised my finger a lil' but it was worth it haha...fun fun...since i can't play volleyball for nuts..lalala

wooo!!! i finally am gonna watch transformers tomorrow!!! hehehe...syok syok...haha

oh before i sleep, i shall read my book....really in suspence...haha..nitess

I want but i can't

I enjoy watching people dance. The way they control many parts of their body to do movements which look amazing. It's as if theirs are made specially that way to move. It's really cool!!

Eunice invited me to go for a dance charity concert for the national kidney association.....got Sarah, Cheewoh and Jin Ern to go too. haha. There were so many types of dance shown and some fun facts too on the history on how street dancing came about and all. It was good. Most of the dances..their outfits...hmm...haha...

What i thought was really cool was the lockin' poppin' kinda dance..guys did it really really well...its really amazing how at every split second they could move different parts of their body to go with the beat of the music..whoa...as if their joints jerk when they move...haha..pretty cool indeed..

So, since i can't dance well...i enjoy watching them. And that Chat is doing a major in dance....it sounds really amazing. Being involved in a bit of drama, production... 

Oh there goes That dream...haha

The CAT is Gone!!!

Yup!!! 'ANGEL' the MALE cat is gone today...sister gave it to her friend as a birthday present..my dad was soo glad to have it gone..ahaha...he said to my sis in a cheeky tone "Make sure you tell your friend, 'no refunds allowed okay?' "hahaha...so funny la. oh well. Now there will be:
1. No continuous meow-ing while we have dinner
2. No meow-ing in the morning when it sees some one nearby
3. No those non smiley-bigbig-scary-KILL YOU! eyes...yup....don't like them. Have no idea why my sister finds that stare CUTE...yeeee...
4. No more smelly-stinky 'tuna in jelly' cat food in the fridge...ugh!

oh well...its GONE! hehehe...i miss it when it was a kitten....wanna see pictures??? soooo cute...(okay its pretty IRONIC right??) wooo awesome i'm still using that word very well...hahaha..all thanks to 'Aunty' Yee Ling!!!! hahahaha...i miss literature all of a sudden...sobs..sighs...
Okay okay...the pictures of 'ANGEL' the kitten...

Wednesday, July 8, 2009

Productive day!!!

YES!!!!! i tell you...reading my mass comm book for these two days...i'd rather grab my moral nilai/definisi paper and re-study...haha...been reading words..words...for the whole day...of course i took breaks la...like :
1. roaming around the house
2. chewing on....Japanese biscuits...plain bread(since i can't eat choco spread as well...grrr) haha
3. Sit-ups?? yeah just to wake me up...
4. listen to my beloved mp4....1 song per break..haha
5. talking to myself...or complaining rather.. =)
6. stare into space?? (yes i daydream a lot)
7. ooh i messed with my brother's camera(the one i used to use before the new camera hahaha) and took random shots....and with my sister =)
And these are examples of what boredom led to :
8. folded a swan/bird and 1 heart shape with a white square paper
9. walk up and down stairs

See?? what reading my mass comm textbook too much can do??haha...but i'm glad i managed to finish reading it anyways. thank God for giving my perseverance.

I helped my sister BATHE the CAT today. It's the last bath for her since she was gonna be a PRESENT for my sister's friend hahaha...(Yess!!!!) muahahaha...okok..
Soo...i did something really...weird..INvoluntarily..note that word.
Was the bathing the lil fella while he meows and struggled to get out of the pail but ahaha!! i was stronger. Anyway when we were done, it digged its paws onto my sis' slipper and her foot..ouch..and my sis went like "get it away from me!!"
Sooo...yes this is the part where i took the kitty and hung my arm over the wall to the neighbour's house and...let go...hahahaha...of course it wasn't like a 10 storey building lar...and cats land on their feet right?? but it didn't get hurt anyway...
As i turned back, my sis gave me the look and said "wei!!! supposed to dry her wan laaaa!!! see now i have to bathe her again"...woooopssyy...haha...the whole afternoon, it didn't come back but stood nextdoor and licked itself...paws...whatever la...cats are sometimes just pointless to keep...haha
My sis grumbled a lot cause it took so much effort to get her back..she treathened it(seriously), talked to it, plead even....and the fish didn't work...hahahaha...
The moment he got back in the evening, bagi manja pulak...waaahh...bother la....it shall be gone soon!!! hehe

Oh and due to overload or lethargic-ness, i go to the park to throw a 'plate' or just jump and run about. Since it RAINED on tues, the urge accumulated and so, for no reason i went for a 10min jog around my housing area while my sister rode the scooter (noisy thing)..haha..
After feeling my legs getting really heavy (which will definately ache tomorrow), i decided to play with plates! hahaha...it was fun...i needed the outdoor...it felt good to sweat it out...
And i didn't cycle to the park...sis did...and her bike has a metal seat thingy behind...so..i cycled while she sat behind...goodness i felt so small and low...and slow...and my sis isn't that small and light so we practically looked like we're going left and right like some drunk fella hahaha...there was a boy cycling too and i bet he thought we were nuts making noise and laughing all the way home....it was a tough cycle wei...small bike some more...now i know why she always wants to use the big adult bike...haha..what a great time out...satisfying.

So why did i call this a productive day??
1. Bathed the cat
2. Covered the chapters i needed to
3. Went for excercise
4. Did three loads of laundry during the day

oh well..mass comm is tomorrow....sighs...let's hope i manage...=)
