Zoo Negara, here we come!

Animals are the nature's ambassador. Rotaract Club of Pudu are happy to be involved in helping the country's National Zoo, zookeeper in getting the animal's static living place safe and hygienic.

Well, by first impression, we get a lot of jokes where participants ask if we will be scooping up poops and feeding animal, or even picking up tiger milk!

Indeed. They were all true. We did fed the wildlife, and nonetheless, picked up the poops.

We gathered around the vicinity at 8am in the morning on 28 October 2012 and we had a small briefing for safety for each volunteer. From RAC Pudu, we have total of 40 volunteers of Rotaract members from different club including Singapore and Taiwan, and guests.

I'm glad to know we have RAC Penang who are interested to join us, but its too much of a distance too. Perhaps, next time around. Just like how I'd love to join their activities all the way up north at Penang.

The briefing

 All of us are separated in groups and we are given rather different task.

 Some of us are brought to the animal show to help, my group are brought over to the wildlife to clean up their homes, and some were brought to kids section where they are given direct contact to the tamer animals.

Well, truly it is tiring. Gotto learn to appreciate the time the zookeeper spend with the animal in order to keep them healthy for the generation to get an upclose with the wildlife. 

During out breaktime, we took the opportunity to visit around too. Get more photos at Marcus' and credits to Timothy for the pictures uploaded here. 

The volunteer program is very essential for us to understand that all the work behind the scene are not always that beautiful as it appears to be. It takes a lot of effort and heart to keep the Zoo as Zoo you see as a visitor. 

I hope that it gives a good chance for all the volunteers a worthwhile experience in a lifetime. I thank everyone in joining us and also making this one of our successful events in this term. 

Cheers,

Visitation to Jenjarom Old Folks Home.

Hey hey! Recently RAC Pudu together with Rotary Club of Pudu had organised a visitation to Old Folks Home at Jenjarom. For your information, we actually do go there annually.

Momo, Samantha, Timothy

We always bear in mind to spare some time to go over and visit as this is a way we remind them that there are people who cares for them  and are willing to lend our helping hand.

 We are very fortunate to get sponsors for goodie bags for them. Like pants and shirts, for really practical use.

With sponsors from Rotarians, we manage to provide them food like Dim Sum, Yong Tau Foo and Siew Yoke (Roasted Pork). I heard they loved them! :P

All the happy faces.


p/s that is our lovely Siew Ping Jie. :D

The also have a little singer Lucas to sing for the folks there. 

One thing is always for sure, is we never forget fellowship among ourselves. We headed to Pulau Carey for lunch! 

Missing out some part of the news? Let me know.

I guess, it is true that it doesn't matter if whether or not I am physically there, cuz network makes everything happen. Look at me writing this update for you guys now. :D All I did, was just to ask.

Club Assembly @ Malacca

Again, we welcome our new term board of directors! :D To Rotarators, 1st of July marks the new year and So happen, our first club assembly and our last term third club assembly goes on consequent two days of the weekend.

11 dedicated members *coughs* attended our club assembly. Well, we touch down around 11 in the morning and with starving tummies we grab breakfast over at the Jonker Street. Chicken Rice Balls of course. :D

Since I came down from Nilai, I got my own breakfast too. So I had the famous Mian Fen Gao. In a way, in KL in fact, we call it Pan Mee. Then I met them up at the Selat Horizon. FYI, it's located quite near to the sea, in Klebang. Sadly, in my opinion, so near yet so far from the sea. Anyways, that was an apartment. Quite cosy in a way. Just a reminder if anyone want to head there, bring your Astro card.

Next, since we are so near to Klebang the all so well known Coconut Shake cannot be missed. Then we took a small turn to Nadeje, *coughs* just to take a look and we tried the Pork Satay too. With satisfied tummy, we head back and start our Club Assembly. Shall not forget our purpose there even with endless temptations around.

Malacca is utmost famous with the Satay Celup. Somewhat steamboat celup in kacang sauce. That was a greedy and a heavy meal I can say. Next to the shop, is the Jing Yuan Biscuit shop. So some of us bought some biscuits back for some munch.

Next, sea breeze is a must. It was actually a good day that day. Wasn't blazing hot at all. Just nice, cloudy. So around 5pm, Michelle brought us to Crystal Bay for second round of Ikan Bakar. Since we are quite bloated, we strolled (okay lahh, we sit lah actually) by the sea side and just have little talks and simply just enjoy the breeze we rarely get in KL.

HuiJin, Vic, PuiKuan, Siew Wah, Samantha

That's Momo at the left. :P

Stingray Bakar. 

According to my Malacca friend, this Crystal Bay Ikan Bakar is by far the best also. Highly recommended. Their sauce are rather special tho.

Ah hah. The sort of climax and essential food of the day is when we all seek for the Putu Piring. LOL. Even the GPS fail us. We went on by instinct and at the edge of giving up, YanJye found it. Lucky day for us, they are selling the last few, and we are the lucky few. This is located somewhere at Jalan Tengkera. 

Some of us are wearing down, so we did split up and some went to the Jonker Street. Night is where Jonker is really interesting. The next morning, craving fro Bak Kut Teh, we head some distance off from where we stayed to get them. Honestly, I forgot where.

 After lunch, that's the end of our food trip a.k.a Club Assembly and head back to KL. As for me, Like a freelance, I went on to seek for food with my Malacca friend. The reason why am I still telling this story is because I really want to recommend this Tau Fu Fah. That, you see, is not brown sugar, it's ginger.

 Whats special? This is really what I call Tau Fu Fah. It's awesomely smooth and after you take the first bite, you'll suddenly feel, all the Tau Fu Fah you had, is not at all. It was a Sunday and it's at the Pasar Malam at Taman Cempaka. Do try if you ever drop by on Sunday night.
