The 16 February 2008 was indeed a special day for the RC Sri Petaling, beside being the last Saturday before the end of Chinese New Year.
First of all, we had planned to celebrate the festival with a group of under privileged children from three homes:
Rumah Hope
Rumah Shalom
Precious Children Home

It was the brain child of Rotarian BC Khoo. With his charm and enthusiasm, he managed to secure sponsorship for the event as well as the Chinese New Year T-shirts for all the children. All The Way, Rotarian Khoo! (by the way, he also contributed Ang Pao from his own pocket to all the children, thank you ah!)
On that Saturday morning, we brought with us a group of about 50 children to the MEGA KIDS in Mid Valley to have some fun! They started off with a tattoo session where every child got a tattoo, be it a stock of rose or a cartoon character, painted on the face.
The children were then given their free time to bump around the playground, trying all the slides and games, but under the watchful eyes of the attendants to prevent any untoward incidents.
Smile is contagious. Seeing all the smiling faces made it hard for us not to share their happiness!
While the children were having their share of fun and laughters, the other rotarian were busy getting all the goody bags ready-folding the boxes, fixing the handles and filling them with stationaries. We have to thank Rotarian Choo KK for getting all the gifts and the other rotarians for jumping in and help.
After all the physical work out, all the young girls and boys were ready for some munching. They were served with drumlets, french fries, orange juice, pop corns and many more.
Of course the day would not be complete without some group activities. Childrens were further entertained with more songs and games, not to forget, candies and presents. How we wish we were as energetic as them.
Well, we sincerely hoped the children enjoy as much as we enjoyed ourselves with their company. Before they leave, we gave everyone a goody bag and ang pao, a simple token from the RC Sri Petaling.
For every successful event, there were always people to thank. We take this opportunity to thank our sponsors, the event hosts and all the children and their care takers for bringing so much joy to us. A big THANK YOU!
Oops, I forgot. Thank you all the Rotarians and their family members from RC Sri Petaling.HIP HIP HOORAY!

Dear VP Kong,
On behalf of the RCSP members. We sincerly thank you for updating RCSP Blog. Also not forgeting to thank SAA BC Khoo, Club Secretary Rtn May & Rtn KK Choo for their great effort to make the community project happen.
Great start for 2008...Share & Enjoy Rotary..
Walking the Children back to the bus that awaits them after the event isn't that easy too; imagine Rtn Kong leading the group of about 30 children fr one end(north) to the other(south) of Mid Valley is really a distance. These children passing through the Food Court and the various eye-catching outlets just stops to watch ; curious and attracted to something they don't get to view daily.....they're on the loose!!!. Guess what will happen if one of them sneaks into one of the outlets, missing child then!!!!
No wonder Rtn Kong requested that I be the "sweeper" on the rear of the group; commanding them to stay in line and continuing to march forward.
What a relief!, when the headcount
was confirmed OKAY!!
Thank You!,Rtn Kong for the OK sign.
MantunChoo...........
