We Did It!

We finally did it!!!
Achieved what we started out to do!!!!
Organized a mini show,
and to get as much donations as we can!

Have to thanks Sha for backing the initial idea, and to go through the whole thing with me,
Tham who asked loads of questions about the whole event, and of coz, performed!
Yi, Ni, Teddy, LiSha, Zhen Pei, Yee Wen, Char, Disney, Tim, the Youths who agreed to perform,
My parents especially, for being so Supportive,
Sis who gave me so much encouragement,
Joy and A. Cindy who baked and made fantastic cupcakes, cookies and pudding!
Church members for giving so many positive response,
My friends and family who attended the event,
Henry and Joanne who took loads of pics for us,
Everyone who helped in any kind of way,
Pusat Jagaan Orang Kurang Upaya Si Putih's supervisor, Mrs Rajes who provided so much info,
Each and everyone who donated to the funds!! You...you...you...you...you!!!
And not forgetting,
our Mighty LORD, who was, is and always be there for us, to make things right.
Lord, thank you for making this happen to me...

This whole thing started out with a small dream,
a dream almost impossible to happen....
A dream to raise funds solely by asking people to watch performances.
The dream was shared, agreed,
Shared to more, more responses...
Positive and negative, we went on,
looking for performers,
not easy, but its a really fun process...
Date, time and venue was set, It's really happening!!!!
Practicing for the performances,
the best thing that happened throughout the whole event...
Spreading the word out,
not easy as well, not many supports art and charity at the same time...

The whole event began like a dream,
really can't believe it is really happening...
Not many turned up, but the initial target was there...
Seeing people putting money inside the blue donation box,
it felt real good.... At least we've got some money inside!!!
We were the 1st performance, did everything we rehearsed tons of times...
The crowd seemed to enjoy it.
Performance after performance,
everyone was really quiet,
but they seemed to be concentrating very hard on the performances.
At least its better than making noise, right?
Intermission, everyone happily bought the food we prepared,
sat down and chatted delightfully...
I have nothing to worry about now....
Some mic probs for the next performance,
but Disney sang beautifully....
We're the next in line again!
And we went up and had loads of fun....
You guys rock ya! EXPH!!!! XD
Tim on his bass tone,
Intro of the centre,
And lastly, our gal band!!!!
More mic probs again, but it felt real good!!!
So this is how it is like being in a band! Haha...
Hymns (More to work on)
and lastly duet.
My Chains are Gone is so powerful, something flickered as we sang...
Counted the donations... WHOA!
1 K+!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY
MORE than we expected!
Hope that I'm not dreaming..... Ouch! I'm not!!! LOL!

Though not everything went on smoothly,
Though we can't call it a perfect/successful event,
we collected funds which can help improve lives...
I enjoyed the whole process...
Waking up early in the morning...
Practicing whole day long...
Come back at night,
Jamming....
Talking to friends,
asking for opinions,
Making new friends,
promoting the event,
and even... DREAMING about the event...
I'm Lovin' it!!!! Haha....
Got to do everything I longed to do, there's nothing more that I can say....


And we went to pay a visit to the home.
Another dream come true...
Went shopping for groceries with a list in hand with Sha and Disney.
Spent the whole 2 hours grabbing things,
choosing and picking like what old man and aunties does...
calculating every penny....
Take this.... Grab that.... Which one should we buy???
Really have to salute all the aunties who goes shopping for groceries...

*TABIK!*

Finally got to know that its not easy to be an aunty... or at least try to be one.... XD
2 trolleys full... For the 1st time in my whole tinny whinny life,
I actually bought THIS MUCH AMOUNT OF GROCERIES!!!!
And EVERYTHING IS SO FREAKING DAMN EXPENSIVE!!!!!
Once again... *TABIK AUNTIES!*

We finally reached the small little corner house after getting lost in the middle of nowhere...
Mrs Rajes is really a nice women with a really big heart.
Can't believe I actually got to see her in person!!
There were various kinds of kids there
Down Syndrome, Autism, cerebral palsy, mental problems, Learning Disorders...
Mrs Rajes sat there and talked about each and everyone of the children she has....
We went snooping around the house, touching this, touching that...
And she continued explaining everything that we see....
Most of the children have the inability to speak except for one of two...
Some are able to help in chores,
some juz sits there.... smiling the whole time, not talking or doing anything else...
They are all really cute and beautiful children...
Perfect in God's eyes.....
Everyone is born with their own uniqueness....
You and I the same....

Glad that we got to visit the centre and to know more about the children.
Lets just hope that the children will live better with a lil' help from all of us.
Shall return someday to have another visit sometime....
I'm CONTENTED and HAPPY!!! =)
