dDoinkster Speaks

So as I have mentioned before, I was traveling last week cause I was helping out with the Pan Malaysian Pools annual charity event in collaborations with three turf clubs in Selangor, Perak and Penang. Hence the need to travel.

It all started at the STC [Selangor Turf Club] end of January and it was just smooth sailing after that with trips to Ipoh and Penang. More like a food trip but still had work to get done. :D

Here's the backdrop from STC. An event graced by our Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Dr Ng Yen Yen. Read about it here.

Then there's Ipoh where the event was held at the Perak Turf Club with special kung-fu demos by the special youths. If you look at the photo in the article, I was standing to the right of the all white games co-ordinator passing out the gifts to the children after they have 'performed' on stage, which you will not see as I'm not that important but it was fun. :D

Finally, it was Penang's turn at the Penang Turf Club and most of the people that showed up were elderly people so instead of a games co-ordinator... there were still clowns running around making balloons for them and a trio belt out old tunes to keep them entertained. Here's the link to the article.

Guess I was just happy that this was the last event and it's all coming to an end that I totally forgot to take a photo of the backdrop but guess this one looks much better. :D The old man with the hat [the one closer to the lady singer and pianist] used to be a famous singer in Penang so I've been told. Gotta admit that he can still sing and he pretty much hogged the stage till the rest of the elderly people left in a huff. Oh well, they just want to have fun. :)

So what's the benefit of doing all these charity work? Nothing much except for a free trip to Ipoh and Penang with food and accomodation taken care of. :) Plus this little token of appreciation hand made by the kinds from one of the homes that visited the event in STC. How nice of them. :)
