On the 16th of April 2011, the LEO club of SMK Assunta organized a visit to Petrosains with the kids from Precious Home. At 8.45 a.m., the Leos gathered at the school carpark. At 9.20 a.m., we boarded the bus, and left for Precious Home. 20 Leos were present.
As we reached Precious Home, the Leos started to get excited as we were all anxious to meet the kids. When we arrived there, we met up with a few board members who had left a little earlier to give the kids breakfast.
The 15 orphans then boarded the bus and were paired up with the Leos. The bus left for Petrosains and on the way there, the Leos bonded with the kids and got to know them a little better.
We reached Petrosains in about 30 minutes. We waited in line while Leo Yong Poh Yee bought the entry tickets. For the next 20 minutes, we waited in line to be seated on rhe entry ride called the Dark Ride .
As we got in, the Leos were reminded to take care of their kids and to stick to the group. The atmosphere was filled with fun and laughter the whole time we were inside. There were many fun and interesting things on display and both the Leos and kids learnt many new things and had a lot of fun at the same time.
At about 1.00 p.m, the Leos and the children reluctantly boarded the bus once again and headed back. It was very quiet because the children slept during the return trip as all the Leos and children were exhausted from the day’s activities.
As we reached Precious Home, the Leos and the kids said their goodbyes with heavy hearts. The children then got off the bus and waved to us as we drove away. We got back to our school safely at about 1.30 p.m. and we were provided lunch. After we ate, the Leos went home after a wonderful and fun-filled morning.
