🙇🏻♀️OK, putting my current competition aside (from trying to garner likes for my travel post), 🙆🏻♀️I'm gonna share smtg more personal 🍃and I'm not going to post 🙅🏻♀️this in my competition blog and photo album bcs it's not part of the theme/concept required by them (organiser).🗣
🏡This is an old house that we were brought to visit along the Little Penang Street. 🌅We were told about the history and culture of the houses here and how they looked similar to the ones in Penang and Malacca. 🏙The structure, the design, the selections of materials etc. 🏛And yes, this house has been here since the British colonial. ⌛️It was passed down from generation to generation until this date. 🎈
When we knocked ✊to ask for permission to visit the house interior, a young boy 👦🏻came to answer. As he gently opened the wooden door for us, the instant view I get from the outside was the supposedly comfort home 🥺he's staying in. It was anything and everything EXCEPT tidy and cozy🤕. His parents were away working at the rubber plantation, 😯and he was left at home with his younger sister.👧🏻 Eventhough they looked shy but I can tell that they're obedient. It pained me when I see others living in such condition. 💔It is not fair for me to say that theyre poor, bcs if I did, that was because I judged it frm my perspective that the house missed out on things that I need (or wants). 🔎 and that's really not fair.
☝️But one thing for sure, I know I am far more comfortable than them. 🤲More privileged as compared to them given the opportunities I was showered in life from having a wonderful parents, a cosy home and suffice financial status to go to school. 💕
I am travelling right now. ✈️🌎But I am also working to complete my task as a travel blogger for this campaign. 💫But there's also another me thats nurturing my compassion heart. 🌹I felt for them. When we were about to leave, I asked for permission if I could give them some pocket money. 👥 I didn't want to give them straightaway, bcs I didn't want them to misinterpret that I'm discriminating them. I just wanna share with them my blessing. The local guide allowed. And I just did as what I intended to. I felt good and I wished them well and better future. ❤️
Travelling allows me to live in simplicity and to be easily contented in life. Be kind, be humble and be nice to one another. 💯🥰
