AIZAT’S WISH -SUN, SEA & PS3! Our group set out in the early morn, The only goal to have some fun, For Aizat’s wish lay ahead of us, Bringing a smile even to the Sun. Aizat was the king of the world, His domain stretched far below, And standing in the Sky Tower, He was treated to an unforgettable show. Off we sped to Sentosa’s Underwater World, Stopping intrigued by a mysterious fin, We jumped right in behind Aizat, Wanting to explore fishy mysteries within. The first thing to greet us, Were Stingrays and very small fish, Aizat extended a hand of friendship, Wanting to spread the joy of his wish. Everyone screamed in horror, Thinking Aizat was shark food, But the shark had come to say hello, Aizat’s smile lightening even his mood. Aizat’s broad smile said it all, Though he wished we didn’t leave so soon, But we had a new adventure waiting, In the waters of the Dolphin Lagoon. The dolphins flipped for Aizat, The air filled with joyful screams, But Aizat seemed not to notice, So lost was he in his ice cream! The dolphin waved her flippers, And a smile lit up her face, As Aizat petted her back, Just before we left the place. We chanced upon a table full of hot pizzas, After watching dolphins playing in the pool, We jumped in with relish and devoured them, For we had begun to drool. We descended back to Earth, Looking forward to walking on the street, But Aizat had other plans in store, That would sweep us off our feet! Aizat’s family soared like eagles, Far above the treetops below, Even his Mom’s fear gave way to smiles, As she enjoyed the Sky Ride’s show. Back home, Aizat would fly new flights, To faraway lands in his dreams, For he had a new model Jumbo Jet, Whose engines we could hear scream. Then came the main attraction, As drums began to roll, Puja and Grace waved a magic wand, And a PS3 was suddenly found! Aizat could barely contain his joy, As he contemplated hours of gaming ahead, Mainak was just supposed to set it up, But thoughts of gaming also entered his head. Hours of gaming beckoned, Aizat taking his racer for a spin, His wish day was coming to an end, But the fun was just about to begin! This wish was made possible through the kind referral by Aaqilah Latiff from the Children’s Cancer Foundation. WISH GRANTERS Puja and Grace 6

After a little coaxing he admitted that more school work and homework would not be his greatest wish, but an X- Box. His other passion, he confessed, was all things Pokemon. The cheerful cherubic lad then showed us his collection of Pokemon VCDS which were all stacked neatly by the TV. So with that in mind, we planned to get him his desired X-Box. An X-Box party was planned with a top of the line X-Box 360 and McDonalds, Coke and Ice cream as the delectable menu for the party. The day finally rolled around and Clement was busy speeding around in his wheelchair, anxious to get on with the party, but shy at the same time that all the attention was being focused on him. When he saw the carefully wrapped gift box, he knew exactly what it was, but was too shy to open it. Instead he wanted to start things off with a full stomach and he filled himself with McDonald goodies. His guests seemed excited to be invited over for their first X-Box party and were busy chatting away as they ate. Finally, Clement wheeled himself over to the gift wrapped box and with the help of his two younger sisters, peeled away the wrapping to reveal his X-Box 360 and included games. Clement watched anxiously as his family members set up his new game area. Clement, was off and away, totally focused on the game at hand, completely engrossed in his new X-Box, so much so that his sister and cousins had to wait their turn to play. We could tell that the X-Box truly made his day and we’re glad that we were able to make his heartfelt wish come true. Clement’s wish was kindly adopted by Mr Andre Loy This wish was made possible through the kind referral by Teoh Li Li from the Asian Women’s Welfare Association. 7
