Saturday evening 29th of August 2009
Highlight(s) for the day:
- Charity
- Singing in van
- Hot burger in BK.
Jas called me around 3 something and reminded me that today there's this charity thing in her church and will fecth me around 5 :)
It was fun.
When I came, people were staring. [The horror]
I sticked with Jas the whole time. Haha.
Inside the hall thing, it was full with plastic bags with foods/clothes in it.
And people were busy talking to each other.
Moments later, the youth leader told us to gather around and divided us into 4 groups.
I was in the same group as Jas and the youth leader. Hee.
The 4 different locations were Tuaran, Tanjung Aru, Donggongon and The Hill behind Sacred Heart.
I was in Tuaran. The furthest among the 4 locations. Lucky me huh :)
Well, after that, we all hopped into the van and we're off.
There were 9 of us. 2 boys, 6 girls and aunty. Haha.
We practised singing this chinese worship song, and no, I dont know the lyrics.
All I know was the chorus part "zu man shen, alellujah~" Haha.
We repeated it lots of times and was singing it with such spirit that people will stare at us if they heard us.
But the speed of the car was a bit fast and I dont think anybody would've care if they heard us neways.
Funny thing is, as the car slows down, our volume slows down too and eventually stopped.
Traffic Jam.
We turned the other way around on the same road. Cool~
People in cars were staring, but the youth leader didnt give a D.
For a youth leader, he's a pretty wild person on the road :D
So, we took a shortcut and reached this kampung2 area.
One of the girl in the car said "that chicken is ugly. Seriously"
And we all looked at the chicken.
It was a kampung chicken. What can I say. Haha.
You know what, 1st we were like in a city area, and then suddenly we reached in this kampung2 area where you, yourself would think that the city is far farrrrr away from this place.
The place was really, really, like, undiscoverd this.
And the next thing you know, an apartment that can be called a skyscraper popped outta nowhere.
Sepanjang perjalanan kami.... Sehhh~
Ok, we saw lotsa things that made us go "WOW"
Politeknik in Sepangar was HUGE. Seriously. You can fit the whole sabah people in it.
Ok, that was a bit over.
But really lah, BESAR GILA TU TEMPAT~ sakai ni. Hee.
Neways, we saw this river too.
That one really made us go "WWOOOOOOWWWW"
It's really nice oh. The view. We were like on a bridge thing and below us was the river.
Man. I didnt even know that the place existed oh.
I should really go and explore Sabah more lah. Cantik bah Sabah. Ko ingat! xD
When we reached this paddy field area, something stinks.
Smells like Ikan masin oh.
Soon, we reached Tuaran. Haha.
We stopped in front of this house. It was quite big you know.
Everyone of us thought that we got the wrong house. But nop. That was it.
Ok, you have a house that's like a wooden banglo, and you got 5 cars with 3 fierce dogs barking at strangers,
do you think you got the right house to do charity work?
Not what lah. But what I got in mind was a bit different from what I saw.
I expected it to be smaller. Ermm. Yea.
What youth leader told us was,
"leave everything. We dont have to give the oil, clothes and rice.Just bring down the canned foods. Our generousity might turn into insulting the family "
He was right alright.I think what she (aunty Teo) needed was not something that we can give her financially.
[Will update soon.]
