Malaysians Care

… about the homeless.

Went to Malaysian Care today as part of our 20hour of community service. Was supposed to meet Khim at KFC main block, and then Cyril drove us all to Malaysian Care Centre at Klang. Once reached, we then went and have a short briefing with the person in charge there, before we left for the drop-in centre in Klang Bus Station.

We were wondering where is the Klang Bus Station, as we had never heard of it before. But we were surprise when we reached it. It was the bus parking building opposite of Pasar Seni LRT station, near Petaling Street. Haha.

Once we got our car parked, this was what we saw…

 

PRO !!!! 

LOL. We had to admit, Cyril has one of the best parking skills among my friends.

Anyway, we went into the centre and then started a meeting with the people in charge there. His name was Sam, called Uncle Sam. Haha. We chatted for awhile, and then we moved on to mingle around with those people there. Most of them were drug addicts, ex-prisoners, and homeless.

After talking to them for awhile, i find that they were not that “bad” after all.  They were very friendly, and they actually wants to get out of this “darkness“. But the society were not willing to accept them, and hence marginalized them in this country. To the point that they had no place to stay, no jobs to earn from, and then ending up sleeping on the street.

I felt sad for them.

I actually played a game of carom with them,  and i lost. They were so professional at it. In fact, they taught me some techniques and skills. Among the new skills which i learned today was something called “blocking“, whereby you block the hole with one of your pieces so that the opponent has no hole to score, and the only way for the opponent to score is to knock your piece into the hole also, which means you get a free point too. Haha. There is also something called “backstab“, which means you hit the token towards the other end of the board, let it bounce back and then hit the piece into the hole. Although i knew this technique long ago, but i didn’t know there were a name for it, and it also comes with a theory. How to aim, how much force to apply, all of these counts… haha.

We stayed there for about 4 hours or so, and then we left lo.  Went to Kepong Jusco for LUNCH… ya. it was at5pm… lunch… haha. All starving. Then, all of us went before to the 30 Hour Famine Camp (where we starve for 30 hours so that other children may eat ><) except Cyril. And so we took this opportunity to teach him a lesson. haha.

We ate at Food & Peas. Cyril ordered 4 dishes.. he was so hungry i tell you… haha

We ate…

and ate…

and ate…

And then went home…

Now blogging…
