Boon

A kin is a boon all the way,

The way expression of smile;

Keep our music playing for whole the day,

Concern the thee for more a while.

The many cares are boons to my land,

Standing beside the guiding star;

Truly my heart is touch and with hand,

Draw the distance closer from very far.

Time is a boon to seasons and flowers,

Chances given to bloom and rest;

Memories become a bridal shower,

Keep in the mind for all the best.

The many hopes are boons to my wing,

Paint the life for everything;

Be used to the lovely songs thee sing,

Attach to the colour of my living.

Being a volunteer ~The days in PPIA

“If the child cannot learn in the way we teach, we must teach in a way the child can learn……”

“PPIA is a duly registered non-profit, charitable organization, committed to serving children and youths with intellectual challenges in and around the town of Batu Pahat, irrespective of race and religion. PPIA hopes to change the lives of children and youths with intellectual challenges through education and training, which will help them to progress in life.”


PPIA is the organization that I joined as a volunteer starting from the May of 2010. I spent my two months holidays there as I gained lot experiences through the activities in PPIA. There are four centres of PPIA: Day Training Centre (DTC), Production Workshop(PW), Early Intervention Centre (EIP) and Job Training Centre( JTC). The centre that I went to help out is the Early Intervention Centre (EIP).

EIP is the centre which caters for intellectually challenged children between 0 to 6 years old. The reason why I decided to join this organization is that I hoped I can contribute something meaningful for my holidays, and I personally believe that it is a labor of love, if one puts in selfless dedication of time, energy and knowledge in helping these children, there is always a hope for every one of them, as well as for their families.

By faith, I took up this volunteer work. I went to help out for every weekday. I learnt a lot from the teachers and the supervisor in how to handle and care for these children. There are five activities for morning section as well as for noon section in EIP that provide chances for these children which will help them to progress in their childhood life. My first memory of the EIP is when I was introduced by the supervisor about the activity of the centre. I remember sitting on one side, observing the one-to-one teaching, participating the art& craft, story time and singing session. Besides that, I would spend hours preparing the teaching aids with other volunteer and helping out with administrative work there. Each activity I enjoyed well with the children there. I really enjoy myself the moments with the children. The nature and trueness of these children really attracted my attention towards them.

As a volunteer in PPIA for over two months, I found the work challenging. I hope I will get the chance again to help put there once I go back to my hometown for holidays. As I miss the days in PPIA~

Music

Generally, music is the art of arranging sounds in time so as to produce a continuous and unified composition. To me, music can be described as a form of rhythm in my life.


My life is a bandstand. I have always related to it to my life in which one is able to enjoy the beauty of melody. Music can be appreciated by everyone once you are willing to appreciate it. Even though I am not the musical performer, I hope I am the one who is appreciating every wonderful musical performance. The life style can be just same as the way of the musical instruments playing, depends on how is the frame of mind work on the rhythm of music. If the mind thinking of pianist pays undivided attention to the melody of song, the artistic conception of the music that the pianist wants to give expression to is clear and perfect. If the violinist play the violin with least creative in range, tone and dynamics, thus does not place oneself in the music world, the melody and rhythm will not be appreciated by the audience.

I enjoy listening to the piano performances. The piano sounds possessing a degree of composition that can be a form of body and mind relaxing. The devotion of the pianist in the music is another attraction to the performances. I wonder how much is the thrill of discovering vast vistas of pleasure through the music world.

Spring Season

The spring is a wonderful season of the year, a season of flowers. It is an intermediate seasonal phase in between winter and summer. Many times, I think of the spring season coming, looking forward to enjoy the natural beauty it enriched and passes around the earth as of nature is dressed in a beautiful gown. The singing sound of the life forms is the sound of musical instruments playing, trying to awaken this beauty earth which added to the attraction of the spring. The particles of the atmosphere are groups of active boys leaps over the wall, full of vitality. Sometimes, they seem like boys with hopes and dreams, searching for their departure and destination. The elements of the air are the salmons leaping upriver. The warmth wind blowing in through the elements makes them to rest on the blossom flower. Swarms of bees participate on a race, rushing at them and humming around the blooming petals in spring. The smell of the flowers is the resplendent achievement of spring. Harmonious colors of this nature enables me walk into a paradise. The scenery of this simple life enables me to immerse in this lovely mother earth. How can this wonderful season be forgotten?

The Color of My Life

Boy Boy

What is life like at the age of 13 years old? It is the age of making fun, time for the achieving high performances in studies and fun. For me, it is the age to make a wise decision for having a faithful friend in my life. This faithful friend is my excellent house pet named “Boy Boy”.


“A dog is man’s best friend”, this is the common saying for us. Well, Boy Boy is very close to me for he makes my life meaningful starting from the day I brought him back home. The day when I decided to bring him back home, I realized that that is the beginning for me to take responsibility of taking care of a faithful friend in my life.

Boy Boy was accompanied me for over seven years and he still plays very important role in my life now. He is the friend who makes my life colorful the most. I still remembered the moment he entered my home, my dad was argued against it with me. For the last, my unremitting attitudes won me the argument with my dad. Although the existence of Boy Boy made an argument happened in home, the warmth and enjoy moments that he brought to this home is totally undeniable.

I cherish the joyful moments I have with Boy Boy and my family. Taking care of him give me a chance to learn how to live responsibility and positively and being ready for it as he always encouraged me and good companion to me. With him in my life, all the hopes and all the beliefs my home possessed are arised.

Boy Boy really colored the lives of all of us in home. As his “mother”, he is the responsibility of what I wish I could do to make the life of my family as well as myself better and make them happy.
