Being Angelina Jolie

Kalau bukan tentang bibir dia, mesti tentang kerja amal. If not because of her lips, it must be because of the many charity works that she has done.  I feel like Angelina Jolie.  For the second reason, though. I don't have lips like those... Well recently, I volunteered for WWF Malaysia (World Wide Fund for Nature). They were having an outreach for Orang Asli @ indigenous people in Malaysia and needed volunteers to assist them. I must say I'm not a newbie in volunteering but it was my first time volunteering for WWF. I've volunteered twice for MYCAT (Malaysian Conservation Alliance for Tigers) before. So basically, I've volunteered only 3 times. Not Angelina Jolie enough, huh? Hahah... Unlike the outreaches conducted by MYCAT, this one by WWF was a tad different.

Menjadi adik

I've always been the big sister, the kakak.  I'm always the one who have to take care of, not the one to be taken care of. I have one elder brother and a younger brother. Squashed in the middle, I held a bigger responsibility as the elder sister compared to the younger sister. However, things were different during this one volunteer program I joined recently. I wasn't the youngest in the group, neither was I the eldest. Let's just say I'm the third youngest in the group. But, somehow they actually treated me like I'm the youngest, the one they have to really take care of. They always said I'm still a kid. Just because I told them the first night at the hotel I actually turned on all the lights because I was scared of sleeping alone (the tv was on the whole night, too). It's a weird feeling. I feel young, though. Ha-ha.
