A day with KIDS

Today again went to the rumah kebajikan in Cheras. This time we drive there instead of taking bus... there r 18 of us & most of us r psychology students. Our theme for this time is "Gong Xi Fatt Cai". We go there to play & teach da children some art work & sing song. This time only have 20++ children with us because some of them had gone back & some have to attend classes. It is sad to see all the scars & burn marks on the children bodies & faces. I wonder why their parents have such heart to do so...

Some of the da children were de existing children & so surprise that they still remember what we teach them when we went da previous time (Nov, 2008). So happy to see them playing & laughing all the way... After all de activities from 9am-12.30pm & now is time to say good bye.. so sad...

After that we went to another room which contains of 55 kids from age around 2-4yrs old. We were there to help the kids to bath & wear clothes & bring them to bed. The whole process was like a machinery process. All the kids will sit outside the bathroom & wait for their turn to take bath. After taking bath, only lady will incharge to dry them up with towel, then next they will move to another lady to wear pampers & put powder for them & next they will move to another lady to wear clothes for them & finally they go bed themselves. They were like a robot that being conditions.

Among de 55 kids, there is a chinese boy age around 2+ which just send to the centre last week. He tend to sit aside & refuse to talk. A group of us try to make him talk & bring him to bath. After bath I help him to wear his clothes & after that, he walk back to where he sit juz now & refuse to go to bed. According to the care givers, they have no idea how to communicate with him.

While he sitting there, I try to talk to him & bring him to bed. I was so sad to see tears in his eyes. At 1st what ever I told him or ask him..he only say "bu yao". When other try to touch him, he started to cry. After a while I talk to him, he come & hug me & sit on my leg. Me & Xiao Fang try to persuade him & bring him to bed & make him sleep.

We try to run when we saw that he already sleep. But I fail to do so coz he awake again & look at me...therefore I sit back there but Xiao Fang already left. I juz "bu ren xin" run away when I saw him look at me... I felt that he juz like my own kids. I wait till he fall into deep sleep then only I go... Was so sad to leave him.. I really hope that I can bring him home with me.. No one there understand what he trying to say & he don't seems to understand what r they trying to say to him coz he only speaks mandrin while all the caregivers r malays.

I wonder how is he now... I was so sad & feel like crying when da time he hug me & juz don't let me go & don't let others to touch him. From refuse to talk, he try to talk. From juz saying "bu yao", he try to say other things to me. From refuse to get close with stranger, he hug me. From no reaction to show me his feelings. Seriously miss him a lot... Really hope that I will still have chance to see him on my next visit.
