time-10am-12pm
time to meet-8.30am

8.30!!! u wud think we were attending a wedding dinner. u noe, when someone says the dinner starts at 7. dinner actually starts at 8 or 8 something ish...tat's the typical malaysian for u. our moral teacher had a nicer way of saying it. she called it grace time. grace time my foot!! *spits*
she had the decency to say that she knew the way to the place. pass tesco, turn left here, turn right there. LIAR!!! we were rounding puchong for almost 2 hours bcos of ur incompetence. *spits* we muz have passed ioi mall for like a thousand times. no, make it a gazillion times!! the first time was to meet our fren who went lost after the toll. thank goodness i didnt drive. god noes where i'll end up. probably the border of thailand. or singapore??
by the time we got to the home, we got a mini lecture by the...wat do u call it?? umm..person who's in charge of the place. yea, she lectured us. saying stuff like if we say we're gonna b here at tis time, b here on time.we hav to set a good example to the future generations. then she started rambling on abt goin to an interview. huh???wtf?? saying when one goes for an interview, one muz not wear jeans, t-shirt, flip-flops. one has to wear something smart. i'm standing there going..are we goin for an interview or we visiting children..
at that moment, the teacher comes in( she was in the car wif one of the bunch of us, thank gawd she wasn't sitting in the same car as us cos she was tops on the to kill list)
the person in charge lady actually noes our teacher. she's actually been there a gazilllion times. she actually had the nerve to say, 'aiyoh, this place so hard to find tats y i 4get liao'. eeeeeeeeeee........i oughta.....nvm...
it was quite an experience goin there. the kids mainly spoke mandarin. i mainly speak english. not a single sentence of mandarin can come out of me. wo pu hui chiang hua yi!!!! dead....we were supposed to tutor them while we were there so it was impossible for me to do so. all of them had chinese hmwrk. the ones with english hmwrk were taken up (gee...sounds like a sale is goin on!) i did manage to help a girl wif her bm hmwrk.
anyhoo...i went to the boys home and was fortunate enuf to meet john. he is a 14 yr old boy wif the reading abilty of a kindergartener. the one thing special abt him is that he is very devoted to God. everything he does, he says he does it for God. the lady taking care of the boys hse(diff fr the person in charge) was very mean to him. he was reading the bible and asking abt a passage when the lady said, 'keep tat book away. ur supposed to be reading ur skool books'. if tat's not enuf, she started mocking him in mandarin so i didnt noe wat she was mumbling abt. he looked like he was goin to cry but he didnt. u noe wat else, when someone asked him wat does he do when ppl start teasing him, he said he'll pray for them. can u believe tat?? i was shocked when he said tat. do u noe of any teen or adult who wud say tat in todays lifetime?? i dont think so. tats wat amazes me man...
so i guess i'll be praying for john. praying for him to stay strong and not lose it. everyone bullies him there.even the kids staying there.
the lady in the girls home however is one greedy piggy. we wanted to buy lil' things for the kids like socks or pencil cases but she said they didnt need all tat. they have plenty of those. wat they need is an oven.the cheap mini-oven for baking bread.oh oh oh....on top of tat, they'll need a plate to bake the bread in. and b4 i forget they'll need a pair of size 6 slippers. wat the heck??? yea..i guess charity is all about tat. u wanna give an inch they ask for a foot( is this how the saying goes???)
