salam,, :) ok, tak tahu how to begin. btw, ini lah pertama kali melawat kanak2 down syndrome or i wud rather called 'em kanak2 istimewa. to be clear, we were here to accomplish satu task (satu jeh) which is to interview at least 3 org among them, not included the guards, the nanny headmistress or whoever.

pagi yang cerah, no rains as the days in the past,, (panas juga)
we were instructed to be at ruang kuliah no.306, with wearing black n white only, punctual (!) at 7.00. (y?) entahlah, i assumed so that the progress going on smoothly. jadi pagi itu, selepas subuh, as usual, i woke up at 6.00. smelling sth sedap (!) kat dapurr... ohh mazni masak rupenyer, terisi perut i. hehe. tq mazni,, Alhamdulillah. mazni masak bubur yg enak. (sempat tu..hebat!) so,, in bout 7 am kami pun ke kolej dengan berjalan kaki. (dengan harapan nak membakar lemak. haha) sampai2,, cm biasa,, mmg riuh. oh ye,, result KWN n SOSBUD baru kuar. Alhamdulillah, i got A for both. (^^,) after signing the attendance, we were briefed by Ibu Esther, the coordinator,, about the progress of our journey. *dia garang* :P huhu
i got into my bus. no.4. gedek banget ! muat 55++ org rasenye. luckily sama2 pegi ngan k.andak, tiqah, bobo, indah,, n few others yg kenal. (me, bobo n indah : cume ktorg 3 doang yg sesat dari kelompok B). eish. takpe2,, ada hikmah. :)

we arrived at about 10.30 am. we were told to play, to respect, not to force them in order to do the task. (roger !) with smiles, n excited faces, we entered. the children are supercalifragilidisticexpialidotious ! dyorg lari sana sini.. excited gila2 punya. approaching us, grab our hands n salam. (sgguh terharu). they bring us to their bedroom, study room, playroom n all. i got to know few children, bejo, reny, slamet n byk lagi.

ppl, anak2 istimewa, all NEED happiness just to live like us. mereka butuhkan kasih sayang. sadly to hear that majority of em come from unknown backgrounds. or to be clear, anak jalanan. or some were even be "thrown" by the family. mungkin they dont even know their name, n for what they are living. walking here n there dgn berkaki ayam. tp kita ? kasut mewah2 semua. one of them told me, aku kepingin skalik mau pake slipar, tp aku ga punya uang.. emang sih. how to solve ? sgguh sedih bila mmpu dengar tp tak mmpu nak tlg. eish. even mmg la tujuan pegi pun nak test emphaty. but i can do nothing. few others told me that they want to go back home, by motor, by cars or busways. they dont want to stay there. they even cry heavily. hurmm. (=.=) things like this betul2 mengajar how to appreciate wtver thing yang kita ada. family. happiness. religion. kemampuan hidup to eat, to further study n to learn. we have to be thankful (^^,) y? kita pikir sendiri lah okayh. semua org tahu sbb apa cuma tak sdr kdg2. :)

okayh, i wrote too much already, tp report tak siap2 ag. haha. takpe2. bila gelabah baru buat. :P kesimpulannya, lawatan camni mmg tertunggu2, n memang best n memang menyedarkan diri n memang memang memang lah ! huhuhu . the main point is, i like n i like. not only for the task to be done. not only for children, i would be glad to join such visit, to omma oppa panti, kusta's panti.. n more. :)
ohh, hereby, i included some photos to be shared :)
