Last Thursday Amanda, Caleb, Elizabeth and I went to a refugee home at Kajang....they are the Myanmar refugees... This Christmas celebration event was organized by the Canadian Association of Malaysia and we were invited to come along. The pastor told us about their journey to Malaysia... It was said that a boat can only carry 40 people max. but they carried 50 over people in a boat.....Many people lost their lives during their journey, some of the boats sank and many drowned...some children lost their parents and some parents lost their children... It was so pitiful... Then, they performed a traditional dance...but it was incomplete because of the lacking of time...Then they sang a song....( I don't understand because it was in their language ) After that, we joined them in a dance...it was fun...^^ Then we gave out the gifts....which were candies and an envelope containing something....One by one they collected the gifts according to their numbers being called... Before we left, we sang them "We wish you a Merry Christmas" song. Then we went off to Jusco to have our lunch.....McDonalds!!!
