Annual Donation
every year during the cny, me and my family would donate some food especially rice to those in need. last few years we went to the orphanage and a single mom's house who is VERY poor. this year, we did something diffrent by visiting the old folks home and the handicap people. the place is somewhere deep selangor called hulu yam.
it was recommended by a family friend we visit yesterday. she went there with her lion club (the older version of the leo club) and cleaned the house for them, repaint it, buy them chicken and char siew pow and more. we didnt make it so grand lah cos is only the four of us. we bought packets of rice and some biscuits from a nearby store in usj16. the drive was extremly long for a short outing. it took more than an hour to reach there. plus my dad got lost and have to ask a vegetable seller for direction. so kebetulan, that man was sort of incharge of bringing visitor to the home so he lead us there with his bike.
he brought us to the home where the least people visits. that was my father intention as we thinks that we should help those who get the least help. once we reach there, the place was also visited by another family. the home is actually just two single storey house with a wire gate splitting them but it was torn apart to make a wlkway between the two houses.
an indian man, who is incharge of this place told us that a very kind man brought all the handicap children to genting as a treat. for the old people staying back, he belanja them with chicken wing. therefore, all we saw there was just old people. they were very skinny but have a very pleasent face. we also found out that about 40 over people is staying in there. the house is really small and i cant imagine having 40 over people staying in it. they were planning to build a small building on a land since one of the home is a corner house.
after waving goodbye, we went to stop by somewhere near for lunch. we managed to stop by in a sefood restaurant not knowing it was a seafood restaurant. the simple waitress told us that their specialties is crab, prawn, squid and stuff like that. my mother didnt wan to eat those as she didnt have seafood in her mind. instead we order fuk kin min (hokkien mee) and wat tan hor (slippery egg mee). to those who dont know (i bet no one know about it), wat tan hor is my second most fav food and the best i ever tasted is from the old owner of tong le garden restaurant in ss19. they shift from a big restaurant to small booth in parkway called siew chow. anyways, the wat tan hor was okey okey to me cos i prefer the one in parkway but the fuk kin min was moderately nice. we also add in order of yu bang (fish cake) and chuk tan (bamboo oyster). it was delicious for a simple class restaurant.
we than head home later. on the journey home, my dad relaised that he havent paid the shopkeeper in usj16 the money for the biscuits. so we have to make a detour and paid the cost although the shopkeeper didnt even noticed. but what for keeping the money. we do good karma and yet we cheat people's money, myself dont donate anything at all.
oh well, thats how i celebrate my 4th day of chinese new year.
