7th year, Cindy and Argen

True love is an awesome thing to witness.

Few months back, Cindy and Argen had got themselves a night stay in A’Farmosa Resort of Malacca. They also celebrated their 7th anniversary they both got together.

Cindy and Argen always wanted to have a couples photo album, recording their sweet memories. They invited Kenn-Wai and I to photograph and produce a special album for them during their stay in the resort.

We arrived in the afternoon and spent an hour in the villa and the next hour at the golf course just before sunset. The whole session was very pleasant filled with of frivolity and laughter.

Thank you so much, Cindy and Argen. Please do not forget your first dates, cherish each other and the happiness will always be with you! Happy seventh anniversary to the both of you!

May all beings be happy. Sharing the lovely moments,

Argen and Cindy – love for the children

My friends, Argen and Cindy told me that they and their friends were interested to make contribution and visit the Handicapped and Mentally Disabled Children Centre Melaka in Bukit Baru. They had been requesting me to make an arrangement for the past few weeks however I was busy to do so.

Last Sunday I had a break in the afternoon of my work and it came to my mind to visit the centre. So I rang Argen and Cindy and they agreed to join and at the same time they notified their friends to ask for contribution. Such a last-minute arrangement surprisingly Argen and Cindy managed to collect an amount of RM130.55 from their friends. They just wanted to help the less fortunate ones. Moreover, Argen and Cindy put in further effort by dashing to the shops to purchase the goods such as cooking oil, rice, eggs, etc. (RM 198.55) for donation before we met.

When we arrived we were greeted by the nurse of the centre, Amy. We wanted to visit Mocheng, however she was moved to the hospital. We were told that Mochang was recovering from the bedsores but didn’t want to consume any food. She had to be transferred to the hospital for treatment or else she would suffer from denutrition. Worrying of Mocheng, Amy goes to the hospital to visit her everyday.

Then we met George. He was happy to see us especially with Cindy and vise versa. The hyperactive triplet were there too, naughty and lively as usual. Boy-boy was in the baby crib looking healthy but shy. There were also some new comers in the centre now. Everyone was happy to see us; they kept holding our hands, trying to communicate and play with us. Yet there were so many sad stories hidden behind their bright and thankful smiles.

Thanks to Argen and Cindy for inviting me to the centre. We would like to thank Cindy’s colleagues for their kindness and support, and hope that they could join us for the next visit. Too, Perry Gan couldn’t make it to this trip but he had invited us to centre again. So we are looking forward for the next visit as every visit meants so much to the patients.

Share some shots I took for this trip. May all beings be happy.

Trips to visit little Chern of the Ling’s family

Congratulation to the proud parents, Mark and Cynthia for their newborn baby, Khim-Chern. Hope the both of you be loving parents. Do your best. Enjoy your baby!

Last week was the full month of little Chern from the Ling’s family. They celebrated by throwing a party at the house of Cynthia’s parents in Lubok Cina. It took us 45 minutes drive from Melaka to the place.

Before this party, we paid a visit to the Ling’s family a week before the party. Kok-Liang, Tracy, Wee-Peng, Meng-Hong, Patrick and I departed after our breakfast and travelled to Lubok Cina. Ever since Cynthia delivered the baby, we didn’t have the chance to visit the family. So it was thrilling of this trip.

When we arrived, Mark the new father was happily welcomed us and showed us around the house before bringing us to little Chern. Cynthia, the new mother was in the house, looking healthy and cheerful, expecting for our arrival. We just could not wait to step into the house and look at the baby. Little Chern was so tiny and cute. He was sleeping in the baby hammock. We didn’t want to interrupt his slumber so we had a chat with the parents for their new experience.

Shortly during our chat, the baby woke up and cried. He was hungry. The moment came when the new father had to carry his responsibility to milk the baby. So Mark held little Chern in his arms just like what a mother would do and slowly placed teat into the baby’s mouth. The atmosphere was warm and quiet; everyone was watching at the father and son.

Mark patiently feeding little Chern while the baby enjoyed the meal. After 20 minutes finished the milking, Mark held little Chern up on his tight, repeated gently patting on the baby’s back to bring him to burp. This would help little Chern to get rid of some of the air that he tends to swallow during feeding because not being burped frequently and too much swallowed air can lead to spitting up and gassiness.

Feeding a baby is an exciting experience for any new parent and Mark seemed to enjoy it. The process happened again during our second visit for the full month party. Mark became very experience after a month of practice.

During the second visit, many of us got to hold the baby the arms. After feeding, Cindy, Tracy, Lawrence and Cinda were so keen to hold little Chern and did that one after another’s turn. Some of them held baby for the first time, feeling excited yet anxious. Then the couples started to talk and play with the baby. Maybe, it is soon for us to see a new family of our friends.

Short after little Chern back to slumber land after milking, both visits ended in warm embraces and promises to visit again. It was a wonderful trip to Lubok Cina to see the Ling’s family and exciting experience to observe the parents taking care of little Chern.

Thanks for everyone for going on these trips together and spent a precious time together. We would like to congratulate and thank the Ling’s family for having a healthy and cute baby, inviting us to their house and sharing the experience with us. To Mark and Cynthia, may little Chern fill your life with sparkles and twinkles.

 May all beings be happy. Share some shots taken after the jump:

Visiting to three homes

George and Cindy at the Handicapped and Mentally Disabled Children Centre Melaka

Last Sunday, Kok-Liang, Tracy, Ah-Seong, Cindy and I went to the Rumah Seri Kenangan Cheng old folks home, Rumah Budak Laki-Laki Tun Abdul Aziz (boys home), and Handicapped and Mentally Disabled Children Centre Melaka in Bukit Baru. First we went to the old folks home and donated the adult diapers and blankets which we bought the day before. We didn’t spend much time after at the centre then we drove to the boys’ home in Durian Daun in the hope that we could understand more of the centre.

We were welcomed by the centre’s assistant community welfare officer, Miss Nor Aziah Binti Rahaman. Most of the boys were away for a trip to Kedah. So we could only have a short chat with Miss Nor Aziah. We came to understand that the centre which consists of 50 boys from poor families is fully funded by government. Basically, the financial support is sufficient to cover the boys’ daily living costs including accommodation and study environment, clothing, meals, daily necessities and pocket money. In short the centre does not require much donation from the public.

After leaving the boys home, Kok-Liang thought it would be worthwhile to bring us to go the handicapped and mentally disabled children centre. This would also be the first time for Ah-Seong, Cindy and Tracy to visit this centre. When we arrived, we were greeted by Amy, a kind-hearted senior nurse who has been working there for years, and she took us for a tour of the home.

I was happy as I met the toddler with Down syndrome again whom I mentioned in my previous post. Amy told me the boy had just had a heart surgery not long ago and he was in good and healthy condition. Amy told us he was naughty and active as he was always trying to escape from the baby bed. Nevertheless, the boy stood by the wooden crib when he saw us and felt excited and happy.

Amy then introduced George, a six year-old autistic child who was left there by his parents. The boy was lonely and sitting at the couch by himself. When Cindy saw the cute little boy, she spontaneously sat beside her and started chatting with him. He didn’t speak at all but he seemed attracted to Cindy’s mobile phone. He grabbed and toyed with the phone. And George was really a smart boy as he could hum the song he listened once of Cindy’s phone.

It was sad to learn about George’s background, and he seemed very sad and depressed when we were leaving the centre which made us feel even more heart-broken especially Cindy. After we left the centre, I asked Cindy how she felt of her first experience of the handicapped and mentally disabled children center, she replied with silent tears. I could tell she has a compassionate heart towards the less fortunate ones especially George.

We felt really lucky and contented after visiting the three homes. This certainly would not be our last trip, we have decided to do another visit shortly to the centres. And I felt really pleased and inspired when Amy told us that some students from the Multimedia University would always visit in group to the centre and volunteer to help cleaning the centre and take care of the patients. I hope that we could do the same meaningful thing.

The Handicapped and Mentally Disabled Children Centre Melaka in Bukit Baru is a public funded welfare centre and requires plenty of support from the public to maintain the centre. We sincerely hope that readers of this post could pay a visit or donate something to the centre. I’ll post up a list soon of what the centre requires.

Thanks to my fellow friends for your company and support. May all beings be happy. Some photos I took after the jump:
