Giggsy in disguiseWent to visit an orphanage *betol ke spellingnye?* home @ Rawang with Inaleem, Niza n Marina. Inaleem picked me up around 2.30pm and we head str8 to the said place. As we strolled along TAR heavy traffic, the car air cond was not functioning well. Panas semacam jek.
At first we thot it was the weather. Ye la kan. Now dah masuk phase kemarau. Just after the toll @ Jln Duta, Inaleem saw the car's temperature shot to maximum. Damn! We pulled over and checked out the car engine. *Mcm mekanik la sumer* Ade bau yang sengit menusuk ke dlm kalbu.
None of us noticed anything unusual except for the 'oil' spreading thru the engine. Watching the signboard, we were 2 kilometres away from the Sg Buloh rest area. So we decided to give it a try. This time, wind down the window and no air cond. The temperature was still very high. Niza siap baca doa naik keta. Hehehe.
We stopped at Esso. Kunun nak examined la ape problem. Bau hangit tu kuat lagi. Then I noticed the cap of the radiator somehow mcm nak tercabut. And yes, the 'oily' thingy spreading thru the engine came from the source. Ini dia rupenye.
Oh, and none of us knew it was radiator actually. I thot it was carburator *spelling* Main blasah aje. Ape2 pon it was connected to the fan. We waited for the engine to cool down while Ina called for help from her mechanic friend.
Br la tau namanye radiator. He told Inaleem to wait for few minutes then fill in the radiator with water. Sib baik la we all bertiga ni kureng panic. Imagine if I was alone, or maybe Inaleem was alone. Cuak jugak! Tgh filling br la ade keta slow down and told us to stop filling and wait 4 another 10 to 15 mins.
Otherwise sumer keta main tgk aje. Tny pon idak. Punye la individualistic! And yes mase filling tu mmg berasap2 la. Mcm br lepas goreng ikan. Hehehe. Thot of walking to the rest area and leave the car there. Tp takut plak kang jadik ape2. So we all tgg je la. *lapa ilang bebenornye sbb terkejut tgk temperature keta :p*
Lepas tu sambung isi lagi sampai penuh as adviced by the mechanic. Abih rupenye sebotol air mineral 1l and still tak penuh lagi. Bought another and I think tggl lagi 1/4 of the bottle jek. Ade la sket asap2. We all biar dolu. Inaleem started the engine to see if there is anymore 'spark' Dah tak de.
Temperature pon dah back to normal. Thank god! Try pasang aircond and it works. Gr8! So we continue our journey. Sampai2 we were greeted by the kids. Kesian tgk. U know, they are still very small. Most of them still @ primary skool. Parents dah tak de. Harap belas org la nak bantu mereka.
Met with the founder. She told me, it wasn't easy to raised these kids. Tell me abt it. Mcm2 la cabaran dia menjaga anak2 yatim ni. The smallest is 8 mths, dijaga oleh ibu tunggal. So, kat umah tu paling kecik yg berumur 3 tahun. Comel aje budaknye. Tp obviously, she's different from other kids.
She had no father and her mother left her there when she was 2 years old. Everyday, she'll wait for her mother at the door. Waiting and waiting. Until 1 day she knew, her mom won't come back for her. Kesian. Dia sgt pendiam. Maybe she's upset. Nobody knows.
Just before the Asar athan, we make a move. I decided to give 10kg of rice every month. They ate 180kg rice per mth. Hopefuly dpt membantu meringgankan beban mereka yg membantu membesarkan anak2 yatim. She told us Noi's dad paid the tuition fees for all of them - 6 mths str8.
Alhamdullilah. I'll do whatever I can. May Allah help them. Amin. To those of u yg berminat nak bantu, not necessarily beras, duit, baju, sayur2, buah2an, can contact me. According to the founder, she spent RM5 permth utk makanan. And yes, they dun eat chicken or other seafood except for fish n sayur every day. Perhaps, once a week if they got lucky.
