Family Day

Wow, it was a fun day. We had our Family Day at the Lost World of Tambun yesterday. It's indeed great seeing so many families came together to have fun together with the kids. Every year, our organization tries to have an educational trip and/or Family Day. All of them are encouraged to join unless they have something on on that particular day. All of them were very supportive *applaud* Their presence made it a successful one.

The most important thing is all of the children were cooperative. They entered the place happily, especially Kenny Downe. I mentioned him in my previous post. He is one of the most difficult case in our center. He bites and hit and just gets frustrated without any reasons. Lately, one of the teacher was bitten by him. Haha... Too bad, I didn't get to take his pictures. His happiness brought me joy. We put a lot of effort to prepare him for this place.

We made a social storybook together with him and at home his mom was supposed to tell him the story everyday to prepare him for this Family Day. And she said she did. When he reached the place, he was calm and steady. He knew what to expect and he laughed as he was going through the security scan thing. He behaved So well. Just too well that I did not expect it to be. Well, yes, I guess I belittled God's power. We prayed so hard. At least me, when I was in bed, I also thought of him. Yes, stressful!

I had another burden which is our Yoga master in the center. Haha... she is a Downs' Syndrome girl with Autistic features. Another headache case. Sigh...She often refused to walk. When she refuses to walk, she will just sit on the floor. No matter how her maid persuades her also can't make her move. She is like a mountain, hard for human to move. Her parents, can't do anything also. However, she was quite Ok that day. Really thank God.

I did not get to take many pictures. Maybe another camera got quite a lot. When I got it I'll sure post them because it meant so much to me. I had fun playing with the kids and with my colleagues. I had fun with Earnie too. He is our ex- student. He is now 13 years old already. He likes Jervin very much. Hahaha... We went two rounds in the river with him and he wanted another round. Jervin played those slide things with him few times too. It was so fun!






Another shameful thing was when we were on the Stormrider. I sat at the back. So when it swings to my side, it was so high. Actually my heart wasn't beating fast, but there was this "butterfly in the stomach" feel. This "butterfly in the stomach" made me screamed like mad until those Malay guys sitting opposite me laughed at me. I felt ticklish too as i was screaming because I felt very shameful as the whole ship I was the only one who screamed. My other female colleagues just closed their eyes. My sister did not scream also. She suggested me to looked towards the sky, but it was more scary.






When we played the Cliffraiser and Tuberaider. I also screamed. My sister was sitting in front of me. She laughed. Haha...I really felt shameful but still it was fun. I screamed but I am not afraid to play with it once more. This is my second time there.



Our last stop was at the Tiger Valley. They tigers are so smart. They are just like dogs. They listened to instructions and obeyed. The cub is cute too. It's like a dog, it is so playful. Too bad they do not allow us to touch it. *sob*


These are some of the pictures we took. There maybe more until I get them. Let me introduce some of the kids to you as well. Haha...




This is our Mr. Question. He likes to ask questions. He just asked whatever you say. Basically everything you say. (Gavin Ooi).




This is our Mr. Durian hair (Chang Lok). But his hair looked much nicer now.




This is our crying princess, Xin En. She was crying...




These are the "lou sen ji" in the center. They have been with us for a very long period.






We... hahaha...




And We...




And We again :)


(hope to get more pictures of the kids to share with you!)
