i'm not different; i am unique

the highlight of my job would definitely be the community outreach programme. and today i went to visit the program pemulihan dalam komuniti (PDK) penyayang at my district.

so i stood there, in the room filled with a number of children with special needs- austisme, down's syndrome, slow learner, hyperactive, blind- i felt sayu just by looking at them.

...children have always been my weakest point. it hurts seeing children in pain, fell sick and crying. and it make me sad looking at those children yang kurang sempurna. like they are too young to be tested THAT way. haih.

but Allah has put them in good hands; their parental units have been really supportive. the love of the father to bring his anak sulung for physiotherapy as he was born with small head and poor development of his backbone which made it impossible for him to stand, sit or even move on his own. how proud the mother was when she told me that his son, the pendekar mata satu,susahlah nak dapat b,c, d in his exams although he was born with his left eye empty- got eyeball but no nerves.

the willpower to fight for life in them- the parents and the child itself- is amazing! you know, with this kind of disability, some people chose to shut their life away from others. letting their life waste away and do nothing. even kiter, yang without any kecacatan, but being tested with some difficulties in life pun kadang-kadang mengeluh... "tak larat lah", "giving up" and to some people "bunuh diri" actually popped into their minds. *shook head*

you earn some, you loose some... that was what i picked up by the end of the day! and when you are on the losing side, try to see it from a different perspective. something better might actually be waiting for you to grab ;)) afterall only Allah knows what is best for you!
