Suddenly the reasons i'm in this came flashing..

RDK..





I promised myself to write something about RDK so that i can provide a peek on the other side of life to others..

Perkhemahan Perdana Rekreasi dalam Komuniti Peringkat Negeri Pahang..115 of us (UKM DPLI Students) were given a noble task to organize this programme and take care of 60 students with learning disabilities (LD). Slow learner, hyperactive, down syndrom, passive and physical disabilities..thousands of impressions and predictions rushed into the minds of first timers like me.

How do u communiate with this kind of LD kids? Dealing with normal kids causes enuff headache..hmm... They are going to sleep in camps... how do u keep them safe? How about their shower? Meal? can they manage without their parents or guardians? The programmes were repelling, flying fox, jungle trekking, swimming (water confident)..Hmm??
After this programme, i understand why do people say 'Don't judge a book by its cover..' These kids are superb..taking into consideration that public labeled them as 'disable'..they r really outstanding! they r capable of producing something creative, take the physical challenge, giving full commitments to the tight schedules (even some of us can't) and be a team player.

This one particular boy..Anuar..a hyperactive kid..he was capable of presenting the opening gimic for the closing ceremony of a Perkhemahan Perdana Peringkat Negeri with his 'tomoi' moves...n he presented it beautifully..if his father was there..i bet he was very proud.. i was just a facilitator..but i shared the proudness..

So people...there is a group of students which labeled as 'disable' at the corner of our education system that need attention and space..Open our eyes and include them in our planning and implementations of education programmes..because if u can see their capabilities..they deserve opportunities..

Wandering spirit

They say that blog is a place where we can put our heart and mind out.. So here i am..

There are so many things going on in this little brain.. sometimes..it feels like bursting out. Yet being a human, i have to take the 'package' as well. Life is full with ups and downs...n the downs sometimes feel like hell.

When i was a little girl..i was eager to be a woman..now that i am one, i learnt that being a woman is not as easy as my childhood imaginations. Being a daughter n a sister..a friend and a student..being a part of community..can be tiring..

It's generally everybody's responsibilities and scenario that i am talking about...i know. But it helps just to pour it out.

Whatever it is..i'll continue walking this path of life..yeah!
