Kyle's World

This year would be my 2nd year volunteering at Darul Ma'wa. Reached at around 6.30pm. Before breaking fast, we do some Doa Selamat for Darul Ma'wa and also for a volunteer of the home that had passed away. We break fast with a starter; bubur and kuih-muih. I head off for prayers and continue with main dish. Actually, I didn't eat the main dish even though it looks appetizing. There's Nasi Sambal Gorenhg, Mee Goreng, Roti Kirai, Briyani. It was a feast. While the people were eating, we were entertained by the kids from the home. 2 of the kids played 2 piano pieces. One is by one republic if i'm not wrong and the other is a piece by Pachelbel Major in Canon D. I was totally impressed by them having known that they don't have any proper training. Apart from the piano pieces, there's a singing performance by the kids. Now to the main itinerary for that night. Going to Geylang with the kids. We part from the home around 9pm after Isyak prayers. Even though I didn't get to bring my boy Shahil as he wasn't allowed to go out just because his hair is long, I had 2 new kids Fathul and Sharul. Both are Primary 3 kids. They are great as well.

Despite of the heat and crowd, we manage to pull through till the end of the trip. I bought for them yo-yos which is so popular and kinda the 'wanted' in among the kids. The trip ended around 11pm. We stopped at Guthrie Building which was our final checkpoint to rest. We then headed back to the home around 11.30pm. We then played bunga api which is fire crackers in English if I'm not wrong. Haha. It ended around 12.15am. Some of the volunteers decided to stay to watch WUJUD 3 which is a horror movie with the kids. But due to time and also because I don't like watching horror movies, I headed home with a few of the volunteers. We shared a cab.

Highlight of the whole experience was when I was about to go home. I met my boy, Shahil. He salam and hugged me. I was touched by his action. Gosh, I cared for him so much that I already missed him. Apart from that I got to know that he got 2 As and 2Bs for his mid-year exam and like any brother would, I was relieved. He's taking PSLE this year and all the best and my prayers for him.
