Today was a pretty productive day. Volunteered under YAWA (Yayasan Anak Warisan Alam) for an event at the UM hospital in aid of children with cancer. Fortunately enough, I had an awesome time with the YAWA crew and getting the kids and parents to come and design button badges. Some were adorable, some were pretty artsy and some were just downright creative! There was one girl who wrote her name then colored it with the color of the rainbow, a little boy who drew spiderman (atleast I think it was spiderman) and and and tons of other stuff! One of the girls, her names Wendy btw, and she's 6 years old, asked me to draw her a rabbit and a penguin. Then she said "the rabbits holding the carrot in a field but the carrots thinking of the penguin". Cute is basically the only word I can think of to describe these kids <3 And I mean judging by how old they are, i have to say it was pretty cool :) oh! and not to mention I helped a lot of them draw whatever they wanted. Hehe guess they'll have a piece of me with them everywhere ;) oh and right after they made their buttons, some of them hung out with the ecodrumcircle members and played around with the instruments. Guess music really does connect people in ways :)

Though on the down side of things, I couldn't help but feel a slight chill knowing half of the kids who came in had cancer. And if they didn't, they had relatives with cancer. They were super cute when they were drawing and designing their button badges so I couldn't help but feel heartbroken thinking that they might not have much time in THIS world and how their parents are just waiting for the hour glass to finally run out. And imagine they're just kids! I saw how attached the kids were to their parents and vice versa. The kids were just simply innocent. They loved entertainment as much as the next kid does. Sigh god it's mentally killing me everytime I even think about it :(

At the same time I felt touched when I saw a few kids writing "i love my family so much" on their buttons. I mean everyone can say it nowadays but not everyone can actually mean it.

and ps. a little girl said 'i love you mummy' as she wrote this on her button too :)

c'est la vi. x
