Stanley the Clown

We went to two 'parties' on Saturday, 28 February 2009 and coincidentally, the organisers engaged the services of the same clown - Stanley. I guess there aren't many good clowns around and words do get around.

We were at Eddy's daughter, Kai Xin 4th birthday party at Sheraton Subang hotel in the morning. Ryan and Jaden didn't want to participate in the games organised and it somewhat surprised me a little as I always think that Ryan is an extrovert. Ryan preferred to play with his gun, which he insisted to bring along.

Later, we proceeded to Praise Emmanuel Children's Home (PECH) to visit the underprivileged children. Rosalyn, who's from our cell group, has engaged Stanley to entertain the kids for 2 hours, additionally, we and our oikos also mingled together with the children.

Since we were apprehensive that the kids would be afraid of the clown initially, we instructed him to dress and make-up in front of them. The 'trick' worked as the kids eased and relaxed themselves in the presence of the clown.

All in all, it was an enjoyable outing and we managed to collect a reasonable amount for the house as well :)
