Be Responsible to the Community

I realized that I have changed so much since I came to Nilai University College. Today, I'm just gonna to focus on my perception on social workers and volunteers.

For your information, Nilai UC Fun Club is organizing a series of event to gain RM10,000 donation and to raise awareness about hunger and poverty in Africa, in conjunction to the World Vision. I'm one of the helpers, we were having sales, dota tournament, facial treatment, magic performance and etc. Well, usually I hear about all these events, I was once anticipated to join Famine 30 Hours, but at the end, I din't get to join. Nowadays, Allan kept posting about World Hunger Day, telling us how many children die each day due to hunger, I mean looking at the statistics, it's really surprising.

Another girl, Boey Wong, she is a social worker in my class. In my opinion, she is a rich girl and who really loves to play around. In fact, she is a very caring person. She always go to the orphanage to help those orphans. That day, she came to me and want me to buy soap from her, it's an organic soap and the money will go to a fund to support the orphans. Heard from friends, she said about sponsoring children in Africa and China. I mean it is something quite meaningful, but not much people want to do it.

Then, Allan talked to me about the Magnum Competition, we have to come out with a project which will benefit the community. I think it is more likely to be a charity project. After all, I realize being responsible to the society is easy, probably when I was in Kuala Pilah, it's quite hard for me to do so.

Today I read a news regarding Harvest Learning Centre. It gave those refugee and rural area kids an opportunity to learn, to gain knowledge, to change their life. They believe that education can change their life, because these kids are not meant to be poor for their whole life, even though they were born in a poor family. They are refugee, they are not Malaysian, but they are humans, I think this learning centre really serves as a good platform for them to change for their life.

Now, I'm looking on more information about this centre. They need people to donate and to volunteer, I think I will find out more about volunteering in their programmes, hopefully they have something that I can fit into my life easily, because I think it is hard for me to explain the whole thing to my parents. Perhaps I have friends, which is you who are reading my blog, have the same thought with me as well. If you are interested, leave me a comment here or contact me via phone.

Take care all, and Happy Deepavali!

Does my title today sounds interesting?

I don't know your answer, but for me, it is. Well, it's a book sales name, and seriously, you can get really cheap stuff over there.

The BBW take place at MAEPS, Serdang this year. Well, MAEPS is quite a huge place, with a lifestyle park, can ride horses inside also, probably I'll be going there next time again. Talk about BBW, there got fiction, non-fiction, cooking, romance, children, self help, science fiction & fantasy and etc.

But guess how many books I bought today? Only 3! I know, 3 is quite little actually, but I could not find the books I want over there.

I bought For One More Day by Mitch Albom, Digital Fortress by Dan Brown and Slumdog Millionaire!

And, guess how much is all these books cost me? only RM24!

It's cheap, isn't it? I bet you have to pay more than RM100 for all 3 books in MPH.

Anyway, today is a tiring day. Class ended at 10am, then we take train to Serdang, reach there around 11.25 and took a taxi to MAEPS. Coming back from MAEPS and reach Serdang KTM Station around 2, but missed 1 train. Finally, reach Nilai KTM Station around 3pm. Then waited for the school bus until 3.35pm and once I get back to campus, quickly took my stuff and rushed back to the President Hall and wait for 4.15pm bus to Bus Station. Reach Kuala Pilah at 7pm! Phew, let's call it a day, I'm tired. Going to sleep, Nitez!
