A special dedication to my friend Lee May

In order to ease the boredom of my beloved friend Lee May while she is working away from home in Alor Setar, Kedah during the weekdays, I decided to fill her time with one additional post for her to read.

Since I am not granted ample time to draft a long and meaningful post, I decided to make her the main character of this post, narrating this charismatic lady in a simplified manner. After all, it is written specifically in dedication to her.

Lee May is a nice and caring friend whom I had the privilege to be acquainted with during my teen years. We were classmates for 5 years, sitting just a table away from each other.

Physically, this close friend of mine is slender, has a healthy complexion, and is gifted with the height of a supermodel. However, her most appealing asset would be her pair of big sparkling eyes. My friends and I have always tried to convince her to take up modeling, envisioning that one day she will be walking down the runway.

Despite all the sweet talk and girl persuading power, she chose to venture into the health line, volunteering herself to enhance the quality of life of the ailing. This is the selfless aspiration of a young noble girl with a heart of gold.
Me and the hot babe

P.S. To all the bachelors out there, Lee May is still single but not for long. So, don’t miss out on the golden opportunity to get to know this charming young lady.
Lee May, since I won’t be around to update this blog for a while, you can check this post on and off to see if there is any guy that would be more than happy to help me ease your boredom.

Embarking on a compelling mission

In a day’s time, I will be catching a bus up to Genting Highlands to join a mass of people for a meaningful 6 days conference, preparing us for a momentous outreach towards a number of participating countries around Asia. There are eight Asian countries involved in this outreach program namely Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, Malaysia, India, Japan, Taiwan and Philippines.

The outreach country that I will be visiting is Thailand, our neighboring country. Seven outreach members from different countries and I will be forming a troop and work hand-in-hand to reach out to the marginalized Burmese community who are seeking refuge at Sangkhla Buri, the border town between Thailand and Myanmar.

Our focus will be on the illiterate Burmese children who were robbed of their schooling privileges from the Thai government, classifying them as foreigners. This left the impoverished refugees with no identity papers, severely diminishing their employment prospect.

Equipped with the knowledge and skills we are bound to garner from the conference along with God’s grace, the eight of us will depart to Sangkhla Buri hoping to be successful in enhancing the Burmese refugees’ standard of living.

Wish me all the best :)
