Kamsahamnida!!

I have actually started another blog on JTC, the place that I am working at now............. Then, decided to scrap it off as I will be confused on which blog to put my photos in.......... So, guess i will jus stick to this blog and post everything here............

For this centre, there are many and endless people to thank:

Great thx to Clarissa and Mun Gune from Malaysian CARE, for without them, we won't be able to have a clearer vision of how to set up and run the centre. They have been teaching me lots of things that I have never learnt in university. Especially Clarissa, her guidance is really amazing..... To me, she's really God-sent...... How I wish I have known her earlier........... I would have learnt more things...............

Mr. Loh has been a great encouragement too. Thx Mr. Loh for having the confidence in me....... You thought I would leave after a short while coming back to EIP after my uni studies..... Too bad, I am staying on to "haunt" you all for at least another 5 more years..............

Kim, thx so much........ You saved me from "hell" to bring me out to this wonderful opening in my life............. No amount of words can express my gratitude to you................ Do you know, your support and your affirmation has been very important to me..................

Alan, thx for taking up the challenge to be my working partner.......... I'm touched that you said yes immediately, though you know very well that you have to sacrifice your hols and your time....... Working with me is gonna be tough work, but yet you are willing to take this step together with me.................... I'm praying that our partnership will not be just a temporary one, but for a long time, at least til we see the first batch out there working and earning "tons" of money! Thanks so much that you have been such a great help lately........ Without you, there are many things that I can't possibly do by myself...........

Aunty Cheng Neo & Lian Neo, thx too for your prayers and advice.......... I'm so glad that JTC is in your prayers.................. & safe in God's hands...............

Mr. Cho, thx for all the biblical advice that you have given me........ It has definitely made me a better person........... more confident of taking up this heavy responsibility...................

Siek Har, thx to you we got so many people willing to sponsor and help out JTC........... I'm really touched that you went all out to persuade your friends around you to help us............

Jason, thx for your hard work together with Alan to shift all the things to JTC. With you around, many things that seem impossible has become possible.......... Can't imagine PPIA without you.......

Thx May Sin that you straightaway agree and are willing to come over on Wednesdays to teach them baking and cooking...............

Thanks to all DTC colleagues for remembering JTC in your weekly prayers.


KAMSAHAMNIDA!!!!

Batu Pahat Japanese Food

Funny, right? look thru the whole internet, could not even find the Japanese restaurant that Kim and I went to that day....... If you type 'japanese food batu pahat' in google, you will only get sushi king, ajisen ramen...................

The funnier thing is I forgot the name of the japanese restaurant that I went to! So, how should i introduce it? Well, just go to this road where Xin Xin is located, the shop that is famous for its ang ku kueh, a few doors away is this unique japanese restaurant, where its food is marvellicious!!!!

The funniest thing is, you might not know where Xin Xin is...... so, look out for that famous funeral parlour in Batu Pahat..... Siang Teng....... opposite it is Wings Cafe, and a few doors away is this Japanese Restaurant!

There's nothing to be funny right, coz you might still not be able to find it, wat more i took the pictures of the food, and not the restaurant......................... Well, blame it on the handsome 'kwailo' that i saw outside the restaurant that night................ Just focusing on him makes me lose my focus!!!!!

Anyway, wait for me to go there another time....... then i will definitely take its photo and post it up here........ Oh yeah, the food is definitely pricier than Sushi King, but let me tell you, sedap sekali, sangat sedap, amat sedap, paling sedap, terlalu sedap!!!!!!!

Going into this restaurant makes me decide to give up on Sushi King and be truly faithful to this!

Wasabi Octopus...........worth it! ****

Salmon Temaki............very, very worth it!******

Fish Roe....... quite nice! ***

Pumpkin Croquette................very worth it! *****


scallops................ very, very worth it! ******

tempura............ worth it! ****

Malacca Zoo Outing........

Got back my energy after sleeping for 2 consecutive days……. Only woke up to eat lunch with Mum at Secret Recipe on Saturday…………… the rest of the time…… sleeping…..zzz….zzz……..

The Malacca trip was fun, but tired…… Pushing a wheelchair is definitely no easy job. Up the slope, down the slope, past the giraffes and the zebras……. furthermore with Tan Jun Sen giving his military orders…….. Xin Er and I were already dead by the time we reached the exit…… Zhi Ling with Alan in another group were no better than us…….
Jun Sen, as usual too was the boss of the day, giving orders to her maids – Xin Er and I…… Well, he even came out with this silly idea, that next time we go out, he asked Kim not to let his mother come along…… Oh no!!!!! Now, I know that Jun Sen’s mum is really a superwoman, carrying him here and there…….. Even I, who have been working in EIP for so many years, carrying children up and down, can’t compete with his mum! No wonder we were so tired, coz his mum was not with us!!!

In my group, I had Jia Miem, Shey Rou, Wei Lun, Jun Sen, Su Qin and Yuan Kang…… with dear Xin Er to help me!

Wei Lun had a wonderful time paktoing with her girlfren, Shey Rou, stopping from time to time to take photos together…..with the animals too……

Jia Miem, as usual was the light bulb, getting in between that couple……. coz she also like Wei Lun, yet her best fren is Shey Rou………….. Sometimes, I really wonder her motive in getting near Shey Rou……. hahaha!
Meanwhile, Yuan Kang was just entertaining me by pointing and naming the animals……….in real fact, he was not interested in this trip at all….. He doesn’t bother whether the animals are alive or dead…… he only knows that to make me happy, he has to do something to show that he is aware of the animals in the zoo…… hahaha! Not my idea of a “romantic” trip with this handsome “boyfren” of mine!!!

Su Qin as usual went on by herself…… in this sense she's really normal….. Can be seen that she enjoys this trip very much……

After the zoo trip, we went to Jaya Jusco…… At last, I thought…… the time for us to rest in an air con place……

Too bad……….no rest….. I had to help them one by one to line up and buy KFC…….. Dunno whether my magnet is more kuat than Mcdonald or it is KFC’s magnet that is stronger….. Only a few wanted to go to McD with Alan, the rest wanted to eat KFC!!!! Aargh……. Miau Cheng purposely spilt his Coke at the counter……. me holding Jun Sen took a long time queuing up before it was our turn!! Both our legs were nearly crumpled up by the time it was our turn…..Shey Rou and Jia Miem talking so loudly in KFC as if the restaurant is a hawker centre………. Jeffery grabbing every thing edible at his sight, stuffing them into his mouth - even the chicken meat that was chewed and spit out by someone!!……. Wee Keen fighting with me at KFC as I confiscated his VCD, McD toys and purse….. coz he jumped over the McD counter to grab their toys!!!

Shopping with them was also very tiring, as Wee Keen had to be restrained from running off and buying the things that he wanted…… Luckily his purse was with me!!!! Hahahah!!! One thing good was he did listen to our instructions and did not create much trouble. Su Qin gave us a scare when we lost her………….. Kim had to go on an emergency search for her……. Well, five minutes later, she came walking towards me with a DVD that she had bought, not even aware of the hoohah happening becoz of her……

Before going back, I quickly dashed into Coffee Bean and bought a LARGE ice-blended Belgian Chocolate to reward myself!!!!!!

Well, tiring but this trip was really enjoyable……..

Oh yeah, I guess the happiest was Yean Fei and Yi Ming, coz I gave them the chance to pakto together for the whole day with Aunt Kim Han looking after them…… Imagine, these 2 lovebirds holding hands the whole day from the zoo to Jaya Jusco………… Hahaha!




A lesson from animals: which are we? the elephants and zebras which are always in a group? Or the emu and "donno wat type" of cow, which strays away from the group?

I was also very happy, coz :
- God answered our prayers and gave us such good weather and also took good care of us
- I got to know Wee Keen more and understand him
- I managed to shed off some grams of this body of mine by pushing Jun Sen and the wheelchair
- Yuan Kang learnt to mix in a group and behave normally
- I got to see how normal my JTC trainees are when they go out…….
- I got to see more of Wai Kit’s magic tricks on the bus!
- I had a nice chit chat with Aunt Kim Han and Saw Lee on the bus
- Aunt Kim Han told me that she wants to volunteer the whole day once a week, instead of just one hour……..
- dear Xin Er was with me
- Yean Fei and Yi Ming had such a sweet day together
- Yean Fei learnt to move around the bus without fearing that he will fall
- Tian Xin & Ting Chien were very well-behaved that day
- all staff were very united to make this trip a success
- of many many more things that happen on that day…………………………..

Kamsahamnida to all staff, volunteers, parents and the trainees!!!!
Thx Kim for organising this trip!!!

Countdown to Malacca Zoo!!

I'm going to Malacca Zoo!!!
Can't sleep, can't wait to hop into the bus with my JTC and DTC trainees........
Looking forward to the trip coz it will be fun with:
  • Wai Kit and his interesting magic shows, forever making me puzzled on how his coin can end up in my tightly clenched hand? Waiting to see when he will make the coin turn up in my underwear....hahahah!!!
  • 忠发 and his autistic actions.................... making people wondering whether he is a PPIA trainer or trainee.....................
  • Kim and her loud booming voice................... waiting to see who will be the first one to "kena" from her in the zoo.................... our trainees or the monkeys???
  • Xin Er "paktoing" with Jun Sen.................................. who knows after this trip, Jun Sen might be touched by her and might not want Huey Pin anymore........................ hahaha!!!!
  • little tiny Zhi Ling pushing Soon Ang's wheelchair................................ in the end a miracle might happen, with Soon Ang pushing Zhi Ling in the wheelchair, with a monkey on her lap!!!
  • Wee Keen going to meet his "family" in the zoo..................talking to them in his animal language................................. and scolding people with his "family members" name..............still waiting for him to scold Aunty Lian Neo.
  • Me "paktoing" with Yuan Kang with so many 电灯泡 following after me................. Argh...............

6 hours countdown from now................................................. 5.59..5.58...5.57.....5.56....... Zzzzzzzz.......................

失望。。。。

有时你讲话可以很伤人。。。。。
不要以为你是这样想,别人就会如你想象般那样。。。。。
怀疑一个人的人格并没有错。。。。。。。但怀疑起一个不会对你撒谎的人的人格,就真的令我太失望。。。。。。
你的心里就是把这个人想成这样吗?
原来你就是用这样的眼光去看这个人: 一个不会对你撒谎的人。。。。。。

———————————————————————————
你今天说一套,明天做一套。。。。。。
你后天又回去前一套,大后天又跳去另一套。。。。。
我越来越不知道你心里想什么了。。。。
原本的执着去哪了?
原本的热忱去哪了?
原本的目标去哪了?
原本的你去哪了?
为什么总觉得离你越来越遥远了?

———————————————————————————
你又不知跑到哪了。。。。。
一阵子还很常的潜入我的生活。。。。
看到好的东西会通知我一声。。。。
听到好的歌会想要播放给我听。。。。
你那些抽象的讯息是有意思的吗?
你那些抽象的画面是有含义的吗?
我也被你弄乱了。。。。。。
就让我继续活在这抽象的世界吧。。。。。。

———————————————————————————
