Sungkai @ Goldiana Cafe, OGH

Last night, I broke fast with our "Housekeeping Brigade" at the Goldiana Cafe & Lounge, Orchid Garden Hotel (OGH) in Berakas. Actually, only two of them (Siti and Wike) were really fasting and the rest of us were just pretenders! Anyway, our "Housekeeping Brigade" has been very hard working especially during the month of July 2011 which recorded an all time high of more than 96% occupancy! Bringing them for sungkai is a small token of our appreciation for all their hard work and extra hours that they have put into their work. Well done, ladies!

After sungkai, His Excellency, Dato' Abdullah Sani Omar gave away "goodie bags" and "green packets" to the special kids. Dato' Haji Mohd Alimin, Senior Trustee of Pusat Ehsan's Board of Trustees also graced the event with his presence. In the spirit of Ramadhan, do come forward and offer a helping hand to Pusat Ehsan which has made life easier and more meaningful for these special kids. Pusat Ehsan's hard work, passion, dedication and unwavering determination is commendable and deserves every bit of assistance that we can offer. Selamat Berpuasa!

PWM Blood Donation Drive

This morning (from 10.30am to 1.30pm), Persatuan Warganegara Malaysia (PWM) organized a "PWM Blood Donation Drive" at United Motors Sdn Bhd (Proton Showroom) which is located at Batu Bersurat. This is one of many charitable events which PWM is embarking on as part of its social responsibilities to the community. Food and drinks were provided. I was there to lent support for the cause as PWM's  Vice-President of Membership. I did not donate this time around as I have just donated blood last month at Rotary Club's blood donation campaign held at Lexus Showroom (remember I blacked out! L). I am happy to see a few "first time blood donors" and a big "thank you" to all the donors who came by even though some did not manage to donate due to high blood pressure!
