In overall, we had brought them for breakfast at McDonald Sungai Dua; a sharing experience and tutorial session for the kids; shopping for necessity goods at Tesco; lunch at Boston Restaurant; play-time at Youth Park and prayer session at Hindu Temple Youth Park. In addition, we had donated a book shelf and some books for the kids too.
