my first volunteer work

Image
today i volunteered at Pusat Kanak-Kanak Istimewa Kajang booth at Smart Kid's 2008 exhibition at PWTC. they didnt have enough manpower to watch the stall, so they asked mum to help out and mum asked me to tag along. so i took a day off (since yesterday was a public holiday too), so i can have a long weekend. and no harm helping out. :) our shift started at 3pm - 9pm. we drove down with another teacher, David. when we reached there, the booth was so simple. we wanted a more attractive booth in order to attract the crowd. so i went to buy some masking tape, and started decorating the booth with the lovely cards that were made by the special kids. we managed to add some colours to the wall, and people did notice us. the afternoon crowd bought cards and some donated money. bless them for their big heart! if the booth is at a more crowded "street", i am sure the sale will be higher and the donation will be more too! me & mum had fun walking around the hall. there were 2 l...

along the railway track.... :) yes, no kidding! today i had the experience of walking along the railway track. usually i will be inside the train, using the railway track. but this evening after work, i had the chance to walk along it! i thought it would be a smooth ride home today. the train was on schedule, the crowd was bearable, until the train left salak selatan station. there are a few electricity transmission towers near the station, so everytime the train passes by, it will shut down the engine and restart again. today, the engine failed to restart after many attempts. we started to get irritated and frustrated. since the engine failed to start, there was no air-cond and lights inside the train. it was getting stuffy. we couldnt open the door or any windows at all. if i was to trap inside for more than 15 minutes, i think i would faint!! and as usual, the driver just announced "train mengalami kerosakan". that's all. only after 20 minutes, he informed us to get do...

phew.....i survived

this morning, there were 2 sessions of yoga class, basic yoga at 8am and yogarobic at 10am. i was the "instructor". tried to keep myself calm, but sister said that i was nervous! who doesnt get nervous?? standing in front of the class, giving instructions, i was glad that i survived both sessions. my eyes were locked at the clock, watching it ticking minutes by minutes, hoping the class would end soon. i think i did ok :) but i still need to brush up! first and foremost, the warming up session for yogarobic. jumping up & down, arms flipping right and left...and then the mind turned blank after a few varieties. luckily elaine was at the back, showing me what to do next. hahahaha. damn embarrassing if she wasnt around. and i need to learn on how to give instructions so that the students understand what i want them to do. hahaha. right hand, left leg, thigh, knee, elbow....and i also need to know the BM version too! it's because we have a class specially arranged for a d...

few weeks back, i received a phone call in the office. it was from AMP marketing rep. A : hey, what's your full name? M : why ah? you want to give me angpow ah (it was still CNY period) A : yeah yeah. i want to you angpow. no lah, i want to give you 800+ M : huh? you want to give a 8 can of 100 plus ah? A : NO, i want to give you products worth RM 800+ M : oh.....why ah? what for? A : it's a surprise. let you know soon about this. bye! and i thought he was just pulling my leg. so i told my boss about this, we laughed and i put that aside. last week, he called again, and told me that i should be expecting my gift soon. i was like, 'yeah right! my 8 can of 100 plus right!'. and today, he called to check whether he can drop by to pass me the gift. i was like, "Wah! this is REAL! YES! it was no joke!". Around 3plus, my third child, Canon Ixus 70 arrived. welcome to my digital camera family. oh, i have 2 at home at the moment. my eldest cam, Panasonic Lumix fx9 was...

family outings

Image
first time during CNY, the whole family went out for an outing. we headed up north to penang with anne, foo, regine & tommy. 10 of us in 2 cars started the journey at 630am. pit stop at Bidor for breakfast. i was barely awake throughout the journey. why? it is because i didnt sleep the night before. it was the 9th day of CNY. i was on leave, so i invited some friends over for a mahjong session. we played and played and the clock continue ticking until it was 3am. i asked them whether they wanted to continue until 6am. they agreed and we played until 5am and finally stopped. we proceeded to McD for breakfast before we started our journey to penang. i slept in the car...eyes were so heavy but the mind was so active. i kept thinking about the tiles...hahahaha. it was so hot in penang. we went to find the food that we wanted to eat and went to places that we wanted to go. Kek Lok Si was one of the place that we stopped by. the last time i was there, i was 12 years old. the next day mor...
