One Day Trip to Matang Wild Life Centre

Posted by Wilson in travel / fun / adventure

It was a hot weekend last week; my friend and I went to enjoy the cold stream water at the Matang Family Park. The last time I visited this place was three years ago. The park here beside steam water, they also had chalet which cost a hundred plus for one night, then there is area which they kept all the orang utan. The park here is taken care by the Sarawak Wildlife and National Park department. So upon entering the park, we need to pay entrance fee.

Charity Sales @ The Welfare of Intellectually Disabled Children Association

Posted by Wilson in charity work

Girl on phone ”Hello, may I speak to Wilson Chin?”
I reply “Yeah, this is Wilson speaking. Who is this?”
Girl on phone“This is from Intellectually Disable Children Association. Your stall number for this coming charity sale will be Stall No.1”
-----------------
Oh yeah!! We’re the lucky number one. From this month onward, the charity group from the Buddhist association will be participate few charity sales organize by various association. One thing I like about charity sales is that it can always remind me on how lucky I am.

Just few months back when I submit the application form for the charity sales, when I walk into the Intellectually Disabled Children school a.k.a Perkata Special School at Jalan Ong Tiang Swee, the school was just like any other normal primary school, just that the students here they have minor mental disable. But this does not stop them from studying just like any other normal kids. I saw some of the students are sweeping the floor, cleaning the windows, and one of them even clean the toilet.

This make me look up to them as some of the normal people (including myself) are not as hardworking as they are. All the teacher at the school here need to put extra effort to teach the students here, a big thank you Teacher. So when seeing all of this I told myself that there is nothing can stop us from helping this school to raise more fund.

During the charity sales, our stall location is situated at the back of the school. So this is not good from the sales point of view, cause the customer might had finish buying when they reach us. But it didn’t stop us, we all work together and use various tactic to sell of our vegetarian food. Surprisingly, we manage to finish selling ALL our vegetarian food among the 90 stalls. Yes!! We’re the first to sell of all our stuff. We had earned 3 times from our actual capital, donate all to the school.

Beside association from religion, there are groups from the private sector like bank, shop, and etc also participated in this charity sales. This is good, as it will help the school on raise more fund.

Another thing which makes me feel happy is that when people come buy from us, what they’re holding on their hand is not just one ticket, but a few pieces. This means that there are still a lot of generous and kind hearted people out there.

Two Day One Night at Miri

Posted by Wilson in travel / fun / adventure

Went to visit my younger brother Kerry at Miri last month. Miri are smaller than Kuching, but the living standard is quite high. There are a lot of big houses near the bay area. This is something which I can’t find at Kuching. That evening after dinner, my brother had driven me to a place called the Marina Bay. This is the first at Sarawak, is a place for rich people to park their private boat, and have their dinner at a five star restaurant just beside the dockyard.

The view, breathtaking!!! Just when my brother parks his car, immediately I keep on pressing my camera shutter button. I’m speechless, the scene is just beautiful, is the art of nature. Here the sea is tame, cold breeze blowing gently on my face, and the breathtaking scene. It give me this wonderful feeling, is like I’m part of this art.

The next morning, I didn’t sleep well actually. Not comfortable enough my brother bed. Is time for us to go back Kuching, but before that my brother drives us to an esplanade. Is a public beach and everyone can come here, unlike Kuching most of the beach are private, pay first then enter. Here people can come for free and bring their family here for a evening jog, hanging out, or just spend some quality time with love one. I hope one day Kuching will also have a place like this. Then I’ll have more places to date my girl.

Next stop is the Canada Hill, where the grand old lady stand. Just when we reach the airport, good news our flight had retime, which means we have to wait for another 4 freaking hour at the airport. This is what happens when you use cheap stuff.

My ticket to Miri, I’m leaving on a jet plane ~ ~ ~ ~

It is always sad when seeing how they unload the baggage.

My brother come pick me with his company car.

This is the first at Sarawak The Marina Bay, is a place for the rich people to park their private boat. And for normal people like me to come and take some shoots.

The sky are mix with orange and blue color.

I like sunset, is like after a day of hard work, then for you to go home, relax, enjoy life with family and friend.

The next morning, I didn’t sleep well last night. There are mosquitos everywhere, I’m donating blood to them.

This is the place where my brother lives, is a club house own by his boss but the boss is kind enough to let their staff stay. I wish I had a boss like that.

My brother send my friend and I for breakfast, I sit at the back of the truck.

My brother drive me to an esplanade, this is a public beach where people can come and hang out with their friends and family.

When I was a kid, my parent always bring my brother and I to the beach on the evening time. They will buy ice-cream for me and my bro. I miss the good old days.
