Testimonial from Dream
They are simple, they will never pretend;
They are cute, laugh with a childlike heart;
They are unexpectable, keep them in a place is a hard job;
They are sweet, make your heart warm with a speechless hug.
When we arrived first at the car station of One Utama, buddies did not trust, even did not like us sometime. However the thing changed when we reached Awana Hotel together. When we had the handkerchief, puzzle and colour games. They seemed open their heart to us. I am really happy with this. After games we sang and danced joyfully. The most touchable thing was that Charmaine actually hugged and said to me:"Dream, you are the best buddy of me."
Just a small action; a simple word; made my tiredness and upset disappeared totally.
The second day of trip, we celebrated Wai Keen's birthday. He gave us a speech which make me want to cry. And of course cry happily :D.
In conclusion, this is a memorable gathering that we have seen the other sides of buddies. And make them close to us.
In fact, I believe that not only the buddies is changing, we ourselves got improved in different ways when playing and taking care of them. Best Buddies, keep it up.
You are the best.
Thanks to Waikeen's family and D&S society.
