Pengembaraan Ali dan Ah Chong

today we had Senyum Sembulan again, it's an initiative to teach underprivileged children the very core basic elements of educations. as in like, fundamentals before even the elementary essentials

such as writing your own name,
or even recognizing alphabets.

today, the opportunity presented itself for me to serve.
i've always wanted to, but have been reluctant.
thankfully God has his ways.

my part was at the end of the day where a value was to be though through any means.
taking some time, sitting down in quietness,
i'm glad God still answers with inspiration and creativity.

the theme was about helping one another or sharing.

hence this was it:

2) Ah Chong, terus berjalan, tapi Ali sedar dan meminta tolong. Ah Chong menolongnya.


Scene 2
Mereka berdua berjalan-jalan (hands over shoulders) dan bersembang macam kawan karib yang telah kenal untuk selama-lamanya.
Tiba-tiba sesuatu mula jatuh dari langit (A4 papers with raindrops) dan menjadikan mereka basah.
Soalan 1: Apa terjadi sekarang?
Jawapan 1: Hujan
Ali teringat bahawa Ah Chong sedang memegang sesuatu yang boleh menolong mereka (Mah Jong with roof)
Soalan 2: Apakah yang boleh melindungi mereka?
Jawapan 2: Bumbung/Atap
Betul, Ah Chong membuka bumbung dan mereka berdua berteduh dibawahinya sampai hujan henti

Scene 3
Ali dan Ah Chong meneruskan perjalanan mereka.
Tiba-tiba mereka terjumpa dengan seekor haiwan (lion comes out)
Soalan 3: apakah haiwan itu?
Jawapan 3: Singa!
Singa ini hendak membaham dan mencederakan Ah Chong.
Ali teringat bahawa dia telah membawa sesuatu yang boleh menolong mereka. (bring out wall)
Soalan 4: Apakah yang dapat melindung mereka.
Jawapan 4: Dinding!
(Ali sets up wall and both of them hide behind it)
Dinding ini sangat efektif, singa yang garang ini tidak dapat menembusinya. Lalu singa itu pergi mencari mangsa lain.

Scene 4
Ali dan Ah Chong keluar daripada bersembunyi, mereka melihat bahawa tanah di sekeliling mereka sangat subur. Terdapat pokok buah (bering out durian) dan haiwan yang aman (burung merpati)
Mereka membuat keputusan untuk membina rumah bersama-sama di situ dengan bekerjasama.
TAMAT

and to wrap it up,

we handed out chipsmore cookies,

it started with a teacher giving one to a kid,

and that kid had to take one and give it to another kid.

in that way they all ate something that they didn't take for themselves.

it brought forward where they started to share En Alimat's cakes with the kids outside the gates.

the gift is in being an example.

a big shoutout and thanks to the team: Carmen, Angeline, Kanae, Wai Yip, Sharly and Rebecca.

and ofcause my darling Crystal whose been with me through thick and thin, it was fun to colour with crayons was it not =P they decided to keep our props for future classes.

after having dinner together at Salim's Mamak, to a good hearty meal and fun conversations i came home to a rainy day,

with my cloths still hanging outside.

owh well, life's like that.

no reason to get worked up over it.

the main deal was over McD's that we da pow-ed.

Campus Life wants to run an orientation welcome party for the freshies in UMS

i am only as good in seeking advice from as the experience i've been through,

seek the adviser lecturer for better counsel, least we only use his name as a recognition chop.

is this event really Harmoni,

or is it just only a certain party that holds the vision,

share it, least there is no support from without that which is needed.

ah, night, i long to rest into the days ahead
