the homeless, these people need you!

23rd may 2014
it was my dream came true..
at last, i was able to meet the homeless.. Alhamdulillah,..segala puji hanya bagiNya..

KL..
shopping center, lotsa buildings, plenty of foods, and so many traffic..
but we did not see the other side of it..
dark, sad, and poor....

there were four of us; me, ann, baiti and aini, joining the PERTIWI organization to distribute foods to the homeless around the KL area. you guys can follow this link http://pertiwi.org.my/  and see what they have been up to for the homeless people. they gonna distributing the food for four days in a week; sunday, monday, wednesday, and friday at the same spot of distributions. the homeless will came in and queue up to get their stuff. despite of being 'lost' in the KL jungle for two hours, Alhamdulillah, we manage to meet the PERTIWI team at the Tune Hotel KL and follow them throughout the process.

one of the staffs explained that at some point, there will be around 300++ of homeless lining to get their food at one spot. a lot of mouth to be fed, me - sad =( ...

the above pictures was taken at the TUNE Hotel KL, we arrived kinda late because of 'sesat tahap dahsyat', Thank God we made it too, then we followed them to the area of Central Market, the next pit stop. we were given the chance to help the team preparing  food for the homeless,..
all of us had to set up properly, because sometimes these people can be quite aggressive,yet, because they were all hungry =(.. Alhamdulillah, things went smoothly,.. i can see many faces in the line...

me , giving them syrup (cold drink)

most of them were men, some were just too old, some were sick, also got psychopath, also got the immigrants and women in line .. we've been told that some of them were just the local people who afford to buy food for themselves, but they just lined up as the food were free. For me, this kind of people were just too desperate to get food, yet, living in the big city was never that easy. 

the best part was, when they looked into my eyes and said
'terima kasih'
deep in my heart, :').. i'm happy to help you
too sincere..

they

need

food

some were just annoying, cause too picky of what had given to them
'erm, takde coffeemix ke?'

they were too human,
they have the right to choose
its just they don't have the chance to do so

us

there were also got volunteers-first timer like us ;)..it was nice, sharing thoughts and experiences together with them =)

the doctors with one of the homeless patients. 

i had to take the picture 'sorok2' cause want to respect them, maybe they don't like to be pictured. Since the food already finished, we couldn't get to the next pit stop. so we had decided to go back to UPM. 

along the way back, many things get into our mind. everyone should see these people. everyone should take action. first thing in my mind, how was their spiritual condition? do they pray like us? do they take shower? how they sleep? -sad =(.. couldn't do anything much. 

syukur
walaupun kita meminjam 
walaupun hanya menyewa
walaupun hanya menumpang
masih kita punya tempat berteduh, perut berisi, sejadah untuk sujud



terima kasih :')


p/s: youngsters, please, go and meet these people...
terima kasih RG, kasi pinjam mobil anda ^^

Book Review : Marie Kondo - The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying

I just got the time to write after so long. Yet, I need to find time to write rather than to wait for the time to arrive. Anyways, I would like to share the third book of September (it's nearly mid-October sistah!) It was the utmost Marie Kondo Book - The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying .  For some people, even me myself never thought that tidying activity could even make a book! Obviously, Marie Kondo proves that tidying is a world's problem. Her love for tidiness and cleanliness had made a huge business run, especially in Japan. There are few take away from my reading, Start by discarding your items  Discard all of the unnecessary items in your closet, cabinet, or wherever you keep your stuff. Don't let the habit of hoarding things to be your belongings. You need to learn to let go of the past and ready for the future.  Keep your items accordingly Arrange your items following their type. For example, in a wardrobe, keep your t-shirt in the same area and not mix around wi...

New Year 2022 Trip- Perlis

 Dear lovely readers, It has been quite some time that I haven't write a thing in this space. Somewhat a 'hidden' gem. Anyways, I wanted to share on my recent visit to Perlis. Hopefully, this can help those who planned to have a nice weekend later on.  Alhamdulillah, me and my husband decided to make a trip to the smallest state in Malaysia celebrating the New Year 2022. Since the border is still open for the time being, it is certainly the best opportunity to grab before it closes back due to pandemic.  Why Perlis tho?  Perlis has been underrated for the past few years, as people might think that there's not much of fun things to explore there. Anyways, this state has grew a lot these recent years with so many attractions despite of the current pandemic. Okay, let's straight to what we have done in this Indera Kayangan state.  So we started our journey on Saturday, 1st January 2022 from Sungai Petani, Kedah. We chose Padang Besar as our first pit stop of the da...

Why I love to hike

Why I love to hike? It is a kind of… I-don’t-know-how-to-answer question. Mom asked me previously, “ape yang seronok sangat panjat bukit ni semua? Tak penat ke?” Okay, hmmm… she gave me a spark of bursting questions to myself, why ah? Why? Oh why? Ive started joining to this activity after facing so-called heartbreaking moment in my love life, hey, thanks cause made me enjoying hiking until today. It was a kind of releasing activity which always hit the adrenaline rush button, yes, every time and it was full of satisfaction. Hiking? Indeed a very tiring activity, but it is very good in boosting self-motivation and building characters. You see, the hills, the mountains, you need to make steps in order to reach the top, thus, all the way to the summit, there are challenges rumbling onto you. Exciting at the starting point and cannot wait to reach the top, however, full of regrets during ascending the hills, you gonna hear villains wailing in your ears  ’why im doing all th...
