12 October 2008 Colourful Flavours Food & Fund Fair in aid of National Kidney Foundation held at 3 Two Square, Jalan 19/1, PJ was supported by Lion Lynda Yeng & her family who home-made over 200 curry puffs to sell.

President Nelson, Jamie, Nancy & Jessie visited the fair after the Go Green Walk, purchased food for home & met up with friends and Lions once again for a worthy cause.

Bravo to Lion Lynda for churning those delicious chicken puffs. Heard she cut potatoes, onions & chicken until her hands ache!!! Thanks for your tremendous effort Lion Lynda.

12 October 2008 at 8 am Launching of "Walk for a Greener Tomorrow" by Leo Club of Monash University went off with a resounding success and according to their program. OC Leo Joeanne Wong was indeed very happy and relieved with the project well supported by Corporate bodies and students. Heard commendable speeches from President Nelson, Wong Mr. Rahula W.A. the student community services manager & wrapped up by Encik Adly Mohamed the CEO of YAWA (Yayasan Anak Warisan Alam, Malaysia). Three trees were planted to signify the launching of the project followed by presentation of token of appreciation by Leo President Garry Lin. Thereafter, participants warmed up with light exercises before the Green Walk commenced at 9.00 am. Participants took about an hour and the event wrapped up with many lucky draw prizes given out. Congrats to Alt. Leo Advisor Jamie for being the first winner but she re-donated her prize, making another participant happy. Kudos to all Monash University Leos for a commendable project.

Trip to Gabai Waterfall, Ulu Langat on 2 October 2008 organised by OC Katherine, participated by Lion Josephine, Jamie, Jessie with Eric, May, Irene with niece Tomiko & classmate. Thanks to President Nelson for taking time to meet up at Pekan 18 Ulu Langat for Hainanese breakfast and sponsored 2 bunches of bananas despite his other assisgnment.

Was pretty packed when we arrived and after spending a very cold and refreshing 2 hours at Gabai we had our lunch. Resting against some rocks and letting the water fall directly from above is so energizing. Than we decided to survey Chongkak Recreational Forest and stopped at the stream recommended by the coffeeshop owner for another picnic. We had to consume all the 20 Tong Kay egg tarts sponsored by May and 20 packets nasi lemak/mee hoon sponsored by Katherine, fish balls from Jo, honey dew, prawn crackers & ice cream from Jessie.

We headed back to the Hainanese coffee shop to get our fresh bread & kaya with another round of aromatic coffee courtesy of Jamie before we head home around 4.00 pm. Another enjoyable outing to those who participated. I don't know about the rest, but I had the most wonderful sleep from 6 pm right up to the next day!!!

RETREAT TO SANDAKAN 6-8 SEPT 2008
After months of planning, 8 of us finally got on a retreat led by OC Jamie Chen to her birthplace and savour all the local food we can digest, one hour after another (no joke). To sum up the trip, it was an experience to behold - hitting a snake on the way to Labuk Bay, imagine going on a 4WD adventure on a 2WD wheels, our Wira got stuck in mud at 6km LB, but thanks to the orang asli who came to rescue 4 damsels in distress and most drama was the 4WD wouldn't start when we were suppose to go collect our frozen fish and head to the airport. And we have mechanics trying to jump start the 4WD with his 2WD. Whole retreat cost RM500/pax inclusive of air, hotel, transport, food, adventure, fellowship and lots of money for our tail twisting at the coming meeting.

10.00 am President Nelson, Jessie, Josephine & Chwee Chin (car 1), Katherine, Irene, Jamie & Karen (car 2) met at Polis Station Batu 9, Ulu Langat and Katherine led the way to the hot spring. With pails & towel in hand we entered the hot spring. Unfortunately President Nelson had to be separated cos ladies enter on the right and men on the left. Thanks to Lion Katherine for sharing this new "hotspot" and we had a really "hotie-therupatic" time soaking our feet. Katherine and Irene both had hot bath to loosen their body aches due to always "making money syndrome".

Lion Irene than took us to Look Out Point Restaurant at 14th mile Ulu Langat which command a magnificient view of the KL skyline, unfortunately the clouds was moving in fast to cover the sunrays for a perfect arieal view. Thanks to Lion Dr Karen Lee for hosting our coffee break before we head to Langat Seafood & Beer Garden for our sumptous seafood lunch & at this juncture, Lion Chuah and his wife joined us. Our 7 course lunch cost RM297.30 very satisfying indeed plus fresh from the tree chempedak and pulasan as dessert courtesy of Lion Katherine.

Members agreed that we should do it one more time with Yvonne, May, Poh Ling, Nancy & Lynda joining. This time make sure to bring big pails (water must at least cover your knee) and another set of clothes to experience taking the hot bath. You will be surprise to see some aunties bringing children bath tubs to soak themselves!!!
