VS 2

"Never underestimate your ability to make someone's else life better- even if you never know it" - Greg Louganis

The feeling before going to the second session was different than the first time. I didn't feel nervous anymore, the excitement was doubled. While driving, I started to recall their names and cute faces, imagined how welcoming they are when I stepped inside the house, lovely hugs from everyone.

The activity for the night was drawing and painting. Our PM brought a few boxes of BUNCHO colors and drawing papers for the kids. Of course they were happy. Well what is more happier than skipping mathematics books for an art class? Uhmm except for me coz I'm *#&(#@(% at art.  Tangan botol tahap maximaaaa. hehe

When the session started, I sat with KH and PU again, and TP. They needed to write their name at the back of the paper. So I tried to be as artistic as I can, I wrote their name in block letters. Tak cantik pon but they were so impressed. Puji2 banyak kali sampai rasa nak kasi hadiah kahkah. And they asked me a few times, "Kenapa kakak ingat nama saya?" " Macam mana kakak boleh tau nama saya?". Maybe that is one simple way to make them feel appreciated. So, I'll try my best to remember each of them. 

Anddd the drawing session started. Hands up and I surrender! I really can't draw. They asked me to draw hello kitty for them. Ok fine it was not that bad but I hardly imagined how hello kitty looks like. So me being ehem kakak yang moden dan bergadget bajet canggih, I googled Hello kitty on my phone to guide them. Tapi PU merengek2 suruh lukiskan jugak. Dia kata kalau die lukis mesti buruk. I didn't want to spoon-feed them, so I made a dotted shape of hello kitty and asked her to connect all the dot.
"Kakak kenapa hello kitty kakak buat kepala besar badan kecik?" Pffffttt even PU can judge how bad my drawing can be. Art-failed! 

Then, I helped them with the buncho colors. Hello Kitty is pink but too bad there is no pink in the buncho box. Berguna jugak ilmu seni zaman sekolah dulu so I mixed the red buncho with white to make pink color. and I also mixed a few more colors like blue and yellow to make green, just to make more variety colors. 

TP and PU drew Hello Kitty, but KH changed her mind a few minutes later, she wanted to draw a house. Bukan rumah bodoh2  tu, a 2 storey house which looks so much like RKK. Kan dah kata KH sangat sesuatu. She is different than the others. 

Tengah2 lukis tbe2 PU tanya "Kakak, kenapa kakak tu (pointing her finger to a volunteer yg bermakeup agak tebal) kulit die putih sangat? Dia kenapa?" I tried hard not to laugh, and thought of an appropriate answer. Ahh kidsss so innocenttt. Soklan macam tu pon nak tanya. huahuahua. So I said "Dia cantik sebab tu die putih" Yes, not very convincing but I can't think of more creative answer. haha

So presentinggggg.. my kids's drawingggg hehe. 


After the session, one of the volunteer shared his knowledge about drawing and personality from psychologist point of view. I never know the selection of colors, the type of drawing can show one's behavior. There was one drawing of a house with black as the background which is very rare. So that kid should be given more attention, maybe she had a bad history, or a problem that she kept inside. Well, It's our task to figure out. and I'm gonna find out why KH insisted to draw a house instead of hello kitty? It must be something...uhmm

Tak sabar nak next week!hehe
