What an experience!








I started off my journey that afternoon, having the feeling of mere happiness that I could, for the first time meet this Orang asli children. This was what I had always wanted to do, going to this sort of places, meeting kids and teach them some things from the Word. I'll always enjoy myself doing this, but it is not an easy job. I have a paucity of what or how this kids are like, unacquainted with their culture and everyday life. Yea.. I have compassion for this children, and a passion to just be there teaching and mentoring them. It just makes me feel rather satisfied with my accomplishment.







It was a great experience being there with those kids, having to teach them to count and learn new stuff definitely makes me feel, great. You may think that they are just some kids born in some village near an oil palm estate, but this kids are bright! They learn stuff real quick for their age. The folks there are affable too. I just hope that this kids would one day grow up as followers of Christ, spreading the Word and testify the truth that everyone needs to hear. They, including myself, are the next generation that is close to the second coming of the One and we must be prepared when He comes back to this earth. As the Word says, 'old men shall dream dreams, and young people shall see visions' I hope this kids will see His glory and the truth. I pray that we will all be prepared when He comes back.


( From the right: Eishini, Yohana and.. forgotten her name)


Yohana's dad is the pastor of the church at that village and she's, I think the smartest among all the young girls. And this Eishini here loves to copy her friend, Yohana when doing work. Don't be lazy, girl, you won't gain anything by doing this. That's why I told her that day, "Jangan malas, nanti rugi tau tak?" Hope that'll sink into her mind. Oh ya, they speak in malay there, so it's much easier for us to communicate.

My childhood life

How was it before? I was born in a posh part of town, rich, classy life, I had it. I was sent to good schools, really good one, top 10 in the whole state. My classmates are mostly rich kids, most of them have maids at home and some are even driven home by drivers, not their dad or mum. An affluent society I would say. My house was a big one, and I've a maid at home too. Luxurius huh? But was it satisfying? Not really. My parents were busy people. You hear this in most families, either rich or poor. But that was part of life. Boring...
All this stuff seems not important to me. So what if you're rich if you can't get to live happily and peacefully? So it's not really important to me anyway.. living comfortably and simple will just do. I don't think I'm rich, but rather, blessed.


I seriously think I'm not a bright student when I was young, though being put in the best class, I was always among the last in class! I remember coming home one day, crying, after being badly scolded by my mum, infront of my aunt again. I was so ashamed that I felt so useless and so forth.. I'm not a really smart kid.. but I tried and studied hard for my UPSR. After being taught by a really good tuition teacher, which I adore so much (coz she was really good), I achieved my goal! I didn't get all straight A's, but 6A's 1B was good enough. But as always, my parents were not that satisfied as I do, because they expect me to get all A's like my sister had. But in the midst of all this, there was many problems at home. Too many that I almost wanted to get out of the house. Even the thought of running away from home. Haha.. I can still laugh at myself when I recall all this. My mum sent me to church every Sunday morning, to spend my time learning at the children church or Sunday school. Actually, if it was not because of the lessons taught there, I would have been.. bad. I grew and learnt to be a better girl from there. If not, I would have been a rascal, reckless and stubborn child. Well, basically I was brought up this way. There's actually much more to it, but I can only tell you this much. Hehe.
I am just gald I've changed over the years. Placing the right things in my life, which is, most importantly, Him. Til now, I'm thankful that the Lord has blessed me with so much though there were things which upsets me. And that I can testify to everyone about this truth and His glory. Amen.
