Saturday 2nd October 2010.
Wah.....it has been a while since I visited the Blog. Sorry! With Raya mood swinging and all those ketupat & rendang - well it was a tough decision!
No, no & no is the answer to all you folks who think that FRIENDS OF KAPAR had been idle. On the contrary my friends, we have been busy. And I just love the activities even though sometimes I feel like I am running after my own tail.
Let me try to fill you in:
Thursday, 9th Sept. - I took leave to cook all those rendang & ketupat and running around doing the usual Raya chores.
Friday, 10th Sept. - Raya! Hooray! I thought I was too old for Raya but somehow I got excited and exhausted at the same time with the Raya spirits!
Saturday, 11th September - Recuperation!
Sunday, 12th Sept.- went to Kapar to visit The CNC & Kapar Kidz, brought some kueh raya for them. We also did some enrolment excercise of The Kapar Kidz at The CNC. This was for the purpose of The National Science Centre Trip to be held on Saturday, 23rd October 2010 as well as The Back to School Program 2011. There was plenty of work to be done.
The enrolment excercise took many, many days to complete. It was made more difficult since we only get to see the children on Tues, Wed & Sun - being tuition days. Some of these children are able to come on Sundays only. So...it was quite a challenge! Anyhow...we've completed it. We now have a COMPLETE data of The Kapar Kidz in The CNC! Yeay! Hip! Hip! Hooray! Headache GONE!!!
Week beginning Monday 20th Sept. to Saturday, 25th Sept.
A relatively busy week (but manageable), as it was the week prior to Feeding. The earlier part of the week was filled with shopping, collecting items and money from our regular and very, very generous donors. Thank you so much everyone! Chern & Kim Guan, Mr. Siva & Friends, Puan Siti Haja Teh & Family, Patrick & Collin - you folks are ANGELS!
Thursday, 23rd Sept. - packing of items with Volunteers. Thank you, Cynthia for taking time off in the evening after work just to help me pack.
Friday, 24th Sept. - Joseph, our Contact Person in Kuala Selangor & Tanjung Karang came over for a short meeting and briefing. He also collected the food packages for our families.
Saturday, 25th Sept. - September Feeding. We had a Visitor - Dr. Sue from Melbourne accompanying us on the Feeding Rounds. More on that later....
Week begininng Monday, 7th Sept. to Saturday, 2nd Oct.
A relatively quiet week however.....
Tuesday, 28th Sept. - Visited Kapar with StArt Society. Joshua - Director of StArt & Rachel - Program Coordinator visited The Kapar Kidz at the dance studio - The Dance Point. The group of girls doing belly dancing seems to have improved - they are not so inhibited anymore. The boys apparently are good at both hip hop & street dancing! As for me I am as happy as a goose....to see my children flourishing!
Wednesday, 29th Sept. - Met Mr.BL Tan for a breakfast "pow wow" of roti canai & teh tarik at Kayu, Dataran Prima. Not that kind of "pow wow" - more like BL motivating and encouraging me. I am so grateful to this distinguished gentleman who always has the time & the ear for me. Thank you, Mr. Tan, if it had not been for you - I would have probably been burned out long time ago. Mr. Tan also passed me a bag of books from another kind donor.
The rest of the week was filled with administrative work at my Work Station. I had so much to do that I sat at my Work Station until 2:30am every day!
