I m not exactly proud to say this, cos I didnt do much.... I am a Lion Befriender member... 2yrs ago i got assign to an elderly..Mdm Ang... My only job is to visit her once a week... she have no children & husband passed away... I go n watch TV with her for one evening per wk... One day on TV was showing Underwater World... She say oh got travelator belt...even She can go cos no need to walk! Mdm Ang difficulty walking... So she never got chance to go anywhere....its rare she show interest in anywhere.... So I say Ok we shall go ! I dont knw what I promise.... But i just say no prob, let go! I call Lion Befriender they say ok... But they only provide transport n volunteers... I hv to come up With the funding... For entrance ticket n also lunch for the elderly.... I ask how big is the transport? Can take how many ppl? 40? Ok let bring 20 elderly to sentosa! (Cos most elderly Hv prob walking so Each elderly need be accompany by a volunteer) I try to raise fund n only got very lukewarm response...cant rmbr exactly but i thk raise around $100+. But alrdy 12 elderly say wan to go.... I dun wan to disappoint them... So even though I facing financial difficulty at tat time...I charge to my credit card.... And just go lor! I tell myself Whats $300 if i can bring joy to 12 elderly.... yes i m someone who do first then worry later... But I promise them I will do it...i will... I did Last year Mdm Ang was admit to hospital..... She had a fall... She can no longer care for herself in her own home. She was later admitted to nursing home... When visiting her at hospital n nursing home...Then i realize although she hv no children, she hv sister n nieces n nephew.... Only when she admit to hospital then nursing home then They start visiting her.... Ashamed to say this I lessen my visit.. Since I knw she hv relatives who will visit her.. Also Cos I was busy with my shelter.... Half year gone by... 2wk ago... I got a call from her hp! I answer n nobody response... I call back n nobody answer.... I was worried so I rush down to nursing home... Was she ill treated? Was she calling for help? I start imagining things....... @.@.... Turn out She is fine. She love it there.... Nothing was wrong.. She swear she never call me!! Till now i still dont knw who call me...... Yesterday I realized its a test. Its karma testing me if I still care abt her.... I of cos didnt knw at tat time.... Everything become clear yesterday... Yesterday, I went to my shelter, on the way, I needed to buy cleaning supply... Suddenly a furniture shop... caught my eye... I think to myself its time i get a bed for worker!! ... He been sleeping on a mattress on the floor... I U turn.... Then due to no parking I end up in driving inner n inner ....Then due to me being a direction idiot.... I cant find that store... But ended up at another furniture store.... One I wld nv knw abt if I m not lost....I walk in, I hv no extra money...I can only hope To get a bed frame for Rm100!!! I saw shelving, I saw wooden sofa (cushion one will not work cos of the dogs) i saw dining set, I saw outdoor stone table N stool set.... All I can use for my shelter.... I start asking how much is this? How much is tat? I started dreaming.... Wow this wld b great wow tat wld be great... I knw I dont hv money... But The salegirl is still very nice... End up I told her abt my shelter And start telling her what i wish i can get....If only i hv the money.... not now, maybe later..... All along There is Another uncle who was Listening to our conversation with his back To us.... Suddenly the salegirl say dad ! She is buying for her dog shelter... How? Turn out his dad is the owner n he is president of Lion Befriender of Pekan Nanas ! And a very kind man! He said you no need to buy! What u need ? I give you. I was lost for words... You wld help me? i thought Lion Befriender is to help elderly one....What He said leave me speechless.... You helping the dogs, you are helping society too... Doesnt matter human or animal.... End up he promise 2 bed frame, a dining set with 4 chairs, wooden sofa set.... FREE of charge with delivery ! So you see Karma dont care also who u help... She will find you.... Or she will lead you to find what you need... I m just humbled by the fact... I didnt do much... I only befriend one elderly... And halfway I didnt follow thru.... But I realize now it does not matter how much you do... What really matter is if u did your best and if u did with good intention... I like to share this not to boast. It to share with ppl, I help so I receive help. So if You help me I might not be able to repay you. But karma will. Trust me she will. :)
