DIARY OF AN IM4U VOLUNTEER: SERIAN

we went straight to Serian right after the community service in Simunjan

i slept through the whole journey because the road was bumpy and i was all dizzy

we started with karaoke that evening,

and some of us went to the stadium by the famous Serian Lake for a telematch.

there were 'cari gula dalam tepung' and tug-o-war!

i didnt wanna play at first because it involves flour, and i brought very limited clothes.

but then they need more players so i dragged zafirah.

we only managed to get 2 sweets (one each) because we tak larat.

tak larat because we had to "wheel-barrow" ourselves to the plate!

sakit otot-ototku semua menampung berat badan pada kedua tanganku.

sobsss..

zafirah's turn to wheel-barrow me.
i stopped many times because my arms hurt so bad.

TUG-O-WAR! nampak sik betapa tuija nya saya?

we went to Masjid Serian for Maghrib prayers and ceramah.

we even cleaned ourselves there.

i adore the architecture of Masjid Serian.

SUBHANALLAH..

Masjid Serian. if you zoom in, you can see my sleepy face.
they have a lot of my tired + sleepy face

wondering where we're gonna crash that night?

to that point, i didnt really care where we were about to crash.

i was sooooooo tired..

turned out we had pretty nice chalets awaiting for us at Ranchan!

because there 100++ of us, we had to squeeze ourselves in the chalet.

the next day, 

we went to the mini stadium again for our morning routine.

then off we went to SK Serian.

at first we were told that we're gonna deal with special kids (ADHD, dyslexia etc.)

i looked forward.

turned out, we, Bus C members were playing with normal kids.

oh well.

so the Academic Unit (me) + Insaniah Unit (Heikal) + Sahsiah Unit (Ryzal) combined our activities for the children.

the special kids handled by the other crew..

attempt of doing chicken dance while sitting down.
this was before the kids came therefore the empty dance floor

it was hard at first, but then me being the loyar buruk type, managed to control the kids.

who ever thought that a person who find kids are annoying, are loved by them?

*flipstudung*

"ari tok kita nak polah gunung berapi!"
"volcano!"
"yes! volcano..! sapa ya tek?"
*puts up his hand*
"pande eh... 16A upsr kitak kelak.."

******

"kita nak polah volcano tok meletus!"
"lava!"
"aokkk.. lava is apa yang keluar dari volcano.. pande eh..!"

i asked them to creatively design their volcano..

"waaaaaaaa..."

aaaaaaaaand everyone gets excited to watch..

Group photo! these were the only who are left
 after each of the classes leave the room for their next class.

we had some photo session later and there's this kid who didn't wanna let go of my hand.

she said she wanted to sit beside me.

she hugged me before we went back.

awwwww.... :')

"kak, lekak kitak abis belajar jadi cikgu ok? ajar sekolah kamek.."

Bigger Group Photo! that kid held my hand throughout the session

this is from my personal collection

then we went to the mosque for zohor prayers 

and back to the mini stadium for lunch,

and more sukaneka.

i dont remember what this game was called but my cousins and i used to call it main boyak..
it's like and obstacle race where you had to pass all the "gatekeepers" to get to the other side
and back to the start.

asz fooling around with phylis

we went back to UNIMAS after Maghrib prayers...
