* lesson beyond words *

alot of times, i take for granted the things which i have..

and it took me 2 years to learn how to count my blessings and learn to count it all joy..

a team of 10, regularly go to selayang to build relationship with a group of wonderful kids..they are not so fortunate..some come from broken families and most of them are poor financially..

we call our prog - KIDZLIFE..we go to selayang every sunday..

and during deepavali..we were invited to some of their houses..we have close relationship with the kids and by them inviting us, it showed us that they value us..that was lesson number 1..they value relationship and the times they share with us which i thought was just random..





this is gayathri and her dad..she's such a sweetie pie and she's really adorable and yes, she is poor..the electricity in her house has been cut off because her family can no longer afford to pay for the bills..and their family only had maggi for deepavali meals..still, she goes on smiling..lesson number 2 - SMILE, even at your worst..







this is suganthi's and kanaga's family..8 siblings and a single mom living in a house with 2 rooms..their sisters are smart and intelligent and they work hard to achieve great success..all of their sisters are graduates..and they served us with their best meal..lesson number 3 - don't complain but work hard to achieve success..


this is the kaurs' siblings..they live in a spare part shop and their house is made from a metal box..they dont even have any room..the living room and the "room" is separated by a cupboard..during deepavali, they serve us with everything they have..aunty practically scooped everything from the pot for us because they are thankful that we took care of the kids..lesson number 4 - be thankful..even when you dont have enough..
through this visitation over the deepavali festival, i learnt to count my blessings instead of airing my complaints..and to be contended with everything..
