Organic Bee Hoon and toys for the home

I could never come up with a good answer when was asked why a single lady like me owned such a big car like the 5-door Rav4. Guess the answer could not be more clear right now.

On 26th November, whth a trunk-load of 100 packets of organic bee hoon courtesy from Racun and books, clothes and toys from the Aaronian Saint, Raja and I hit the road again to Rumah Kewajipan Kasih Sayang at Antara Gapi.

The young little Indian girl Namiah has gone home to her relatives. The other kids at the home each has received a donated toy. The carer passed one toy to a 40-year mentally challenged girl who was so visibly pleased and whom I named Miss Abu. She always called out "Abu" each time we come . When we arrived, we saw another kind-hearted gentleman donating foodstuff and toilet papers to the home. It is nice to know that there are people who cares.

Raja chatted with the carer and one of the patient I nicknamed Aunty Grumpy. Aunty Grumpy is a diabetic patient and her family sent her to the home because they found it too hard to take care of her. She is in her forties. If not for the diabetes , she is healthy otherwise. She cried like a baby when the carer asked her to take her medicine. She refused to take the tablet because it makes her drowsy. Raja reckoned that Aunty Grumpy must have always got what she wanted when she was young and healthy. With her condition right now and deserted by family, she certainly could not be in a better mood.

The carer and the woman folks at the home are very facinated by Raja wearing just one ear-ring. They kept looking at him and finally one ventured to ask. It was funny.

I took a new change of books. Guess where the books I left behind the last time ? The carer has kept them safely up on the top of the wardrobe. This of course was not my intention. I had meant for the book to be accessible easily to the kids. She said Miss Abu tore the books.

I concluded that I need to come up with a book reading activity each time I go there. It will be hard for the children to appreciate the books themselves unless with some inspiration and encouragement.

why organic beehoon? Won't normal beehoon be cheaper and you can buy more for the kids?

Cos organic bee hoon came straight out of the factory of Racun, my friend whose family owns Malaysia's largest organic franchised chain stores. So is completely free ! Percuma !
