Had a plight from our resident Badan Kebajikan Islam TM on a drive to collect toys for the Peadiatric Ward in Hospital Kuala Lumpur:

Dimaklumkan bahawa BAKIT KL dengan kerjasama Jabatan Pengimejan Diagnostik ( X-Ray ), Institut Pediatrik, HKL berhasrat untuk mendapatkan sumbangan permainan kanak-kanak terpakai.

Untuk makluman semua, barang-barang permainan tersebut diberikan secara sementara kepada kanak-kanak yang datang membuat pemeriksaan. Kanak-kanak yang datang terdiri dari pelbagai bangsa dan peringkat umur. Perasaan resah dan gelisah, bosan sehingga ada yang menangis sementara menunggu giliran. Jadi, untuk mengelakkan pelbagai perkara yang tidak diingini berlaku, perlunya barang-barang permainan sebagai penawar dan memujuk hati kanak-kanak tersebut.

Walaupun pada awalnya terdapat banyak barang-barang permainan, tetapi bagi memujuk hati anak-anak, barang permainan terpaksalah diberikan terus kepada mereka. Sehingga kini, hanya terdapat beberapa barang permainan yang amat lusuh dan tidak sempurna. Oleh itu kerjasama dari ahli-ahli untuk memberikan sumbangan amatlah diharapkan dan dihargai.

Tarikh tutup adalah pada 10 Julai 2009 ( Jumaat ).

I always thought the kids had way too much toys for their own good anyways. So, we went through the toys and decided upon those that could be given away.

We managed to collect 2 big bags full of toys for the cause and I am mighty pleased. There were many baby toys, since all my three kids have outgrown them. There were also toys that has not had any play time for quite a while now. So, those ones had to go too.

But, I also decided that it was time for me to part with some of my soft toys. Special mention to Baba Lele - that big camel that I got from Trocadero, London and Oluwa Se-un, my adorable brown bear. They have been with me since my A-Level years, so that makes it , what? About 15 years since.. Fare-thee-well dear friends, hope you'll be happy in your new home..
