Went to an orphanage, Rumah Shalom at Puchong today with my Red Crescent members. It is an annual social welfare by the MMU Cyberjaya Chapter. Decided to go there because of someone and that is the second time I am going such places. Went to KL Birdpark, McDonalds then back home. Took care of a 8-year-old kid named Nigel. Never liked kids.. But I never like them either.. So after today.. Oh well... ONE word to describe my day ~TIRED~ x_x
That's me and Nigel.. The kid who never walks.. But good thing is that he will run back to you. He's just like a boomerang. At least I don't have to chase after him or tell the organising committee that I "lost" my kid.. Haha.My lesson for the day. (1o in total)
1. Kids are harder to take care than dogs. They are 2.. NO!! 3 times harder than a dog!!!
2. Kids have two maybe three times the spirit and energy than a normal adult has.
3. Kids don't walk.. they RUN.. They don't sit.. They STAND and JUMP around..
4. To silent a kid.. Use cartoon and television.
5. When kids have a handphone in their hand, they will take photo and play games
It will get more serious from now on..
6. Kids at Shalom Home treasure Milo more than drinking water. Given a bottle of drinking water and a pack of Dutch Lady milk.. They will pour out the drinking water and fill it with the milk.
7. They don't have handphone, computer and television to watch daily (only on Friday and Saturday). So just be thankful if you have a Nokia 3310 and a 14 inch laptop to watch. And by the way.. don't complain that the internet line is slow. Those kids doesn't even have computer to use.
8. They don't really have much nice food to eat. So for those who say Jogoya sucks.. I doubt they had an oyster in their life before. Oh ya.. By the time you have finished reading this sentence, a kid in Africa is now dead due to starvation.
9. They are poor. They use 2nd maybe 3rd hand stuff. They don't have the money to buy expensive stuff. So for those who buy RM200 per shirt or RM400 for a handbag.. Think again.. RM200 maybe a school bag, shoes, school uniforms, trousers, shirts for one poor kid.
10. They are ORPHANS. So.. Everytime your mum or dad nags/stalk/scold you.. be thankful that there is still someone in the world who will care and love you!!!
The lessons learnt may only last for a few days.. 1 week max before people start being forgetful again and complain about this.. about that.. and never be thankful. It is really true if you think about it. It happens to most of the human kinds.
Oh ya.. one final lesson for all. THINK before you do "it". Well at least take contraceptive measures (prevent pregancies measures). Use a condom! Don't think of short term enjoyment and forget about the long term effect of having a child! It is no "play play business". That is why there are so many orphans in the world!!
Nah.. She ain't orphan. She is a cute little girl who has a loving dad and mum with her. Took her photo while waiting for the bird show.
