you think you are unfortunate?!?... think again!...

you think you are unfortunate?!?... think again!...

finally after almost 2 years or so i ended up in rumah solehah last sunday (30th october 2005)... rumah solehah is one of the many homes for our hiv positive friends... home for few adults and about 20 + children, age fm few months to early teens...

rackl used to do quite a number of activities with them, but slowed down for the past 2 years...

they planned and executed successfully another community service project last sunday... had a simple, but very meaningful buka puasa with them... games and giving out duit raya also the agenda... the kids are as super duper hyper active as ever... they can be very hard to look after, but that's when the fun part kicks in...

there's this kid, boo and myself adore him so much... beautiful kid, literally beautiful... 1st time we saw him, it was about 2 years ago... he was about 1 year old then, can't really walk... when i saw him again last sunday... he was running all over the place, eating and drinking by himself... really good to see that, really made my day!...
kids can actually grow amazingly in differences in 2-3 years!... if am not mistaken, that boy is one of the many abandon children the home is taking care... the caretaker, kak wan is just an amazing person!...

the residents in rumah solehah are from broken homes and abused friends... most of them are hiv positive... i personally don't think the public are properly educated re this matter... many of them actually have this kinda 'eerie' feelings when they know someone is hiv positive... this is one of the many reasons why hiv positive friends are on one island by themself, just because the public 'neglect' them...

if you listen to the stories of our innocent friends, you will know how they feel and how they ended up in that situation... you will just think to yrself, you are not that bad afterall... you think you are unfortunate?!?.. think again!...

after the whole thing, i needed a drink badly... ended up in kaki's corer with few others... had a drink and a nice plate of spicy ham cheese chicken... after that, sent sham home.... and then, sent ls home... owhh yeah, really nice to be able to finally talk to her again after such a long time, and the trip to imbi just brought back memories, memories and memories...
