Just found this post in my drafts..Written 2009

I went to Sunway Lagoon yesterday. I was with my high school buddies. We were all very enthusiastic about reliving the happy moments at the park like we did 2 years ago. We changed into swimming attire and rushed to the water park. At that point of time, I would say anyone can easily notice the eagerness in our eyes. I carried the float and ran up the stairs to the water ride, looking forward to some thrills and spills. We placed our floats and sat there, we gave each other the "this is gonna be fun" look, 3...2...1...GO!!! Within 2 seconds, I didn't feel what I was expecting, the water was not flowing fast enough and extra resistant strips were added. We went on all the other rides thereafter but it seems like Mr.Thrill decided to take a nap. Although the excitement level of the rides have been reduced to cut electricity and water cost, it somehow made me think was it because of the physical factor or maybe we no longer get excited by water rides. At the end, I think its because our expectations was too high, as my friend told me, memory is sometimes better than reality.

Love my Grandma and all the people

Several days ago, I watched a video that was posted by a few of my friends.

It was captioned "GUYS JUST TAKE 3 MIN AND 7 SECONDS FROM YOUR BUSY LIFE TO SEE THIS VIDEO...... PLZZZZ...‌"

It moved me.

I decided to look more into this matter and read up about charity water.

Seeing other people living without safe water to drink made me feel compelled to do something.

Tomorrow is my Grandmother's 74th birthday and I bought an eCard for $20 and 100% of it will contribute towards well drilling.

This is how it looks like.

20 US Dollars can provide one person with clean water in a developing country for 20 years.

Spread the Love.

My Grandma and I last month when she took care of me because I was having Chicken Pox

Happy Birthday 婆婆!

I used to think it is better to donate anonymously and my dad told me that it is about intent. If we do a good deed and show off to boost our ego, then it is of no good, If we are sharing a good deed that we did to encourage other people to do it and its great. So let's spread the kindness!

On the last day of 2009, I woke up at 7.00am and did my morning routine. Hesitation was enticing me not to perform what I was about to do later. I didn't want to succumb to the temptation of escaping.

I drove to Taman Free School flats. A force in my heart asked me to just say no as I walked through the stalls in the market with a plastic bag in hand. I kept walking. I saw Ku Ku* sitting at the steps of the middle compound waiting for me as promised. Our appointment was 8.30am and I was on time.

*Ku Ku - In Chinese, it means the sister of your father, your aunt on the paternal side. This Ku Ku is my babysitter. I was under her care from when I was nine months old till I was thirteen.

As I walked towards her, I felt like I needed to pee. At first I thought it was hesitation calling again but I talked sense to myself. Am I going to pee because I am afraid of doing what I'm about to do or I genuinely needed to pee? Should I do it then pee? or Should I go pee first? If I pee now, am I not going to do it? I figured I should just pee and then do it,that will really make me feel more comfortable.

Ku Ku told me to pee in the Kopitiam at the corner lot. She said just go pee there and we'll have our breakfast there later. I was hesitant, I told her I better walk further and go to Medan Selera. She said its not open on Thursdays then I went to the Kopitiam and left the plastic bag with her. There was a lady queuing at the toilet. Once again I wanted to go to Medan Selera but before I made my decision the lady queuing fled so I stayed as it should be vacant soon since there was a person waiting in front of me. I relieved nature's calling and went back to my Ku Ku.

She said she wants to buy a few stuff from Yeong Fo Lou* and she'll reintroduce me to him. She picked a lidi broom and as she paid for it, she asked the boss whether he recognized me, I'm the kid she brought up, he politely said that of course he remembers if she says it.

*Yeong Fo Lou - In Cantonese, it means the guy that sells western goods.

I spoke. I told him when I was still small, I lost my mechanical pencil's cover. I went to his shop and stole the cover of a mechanical pencil to replace mine. I was there to apologize. Ku Ku repeated what I just said to him in her own words. He with his wife beside said its not a big deal, little children are mischievous. I gave him the plastic bag and put on his counter. There was 2 boxes of biscuits from Him Heang together with a white envelope that contained a ten ringgit note. He said he can't finish so many biscuits and wanted to give a box to my Ku Ku, I told him I've given her biscuits too.

He and his wife then shared their experiences on this matter. Many children stole goods from their shop along the years. She said that usually people drop an envelope with a letter and some money in their shop to tell them they stole a pencil box or something. They do not know who they are. I was glad.

Ku Ku and I then moved on for Char Koay Kak.
