Good Bye, Rtr Lloyd!

Contributed by President Toh Harnniann

This evening, Rtr Lloyd (pic) will be flying to the States to pack and wrap up his stuffs left over there. In another words, our club will have to endure his absence for the next few weeks or maybe even a month.

Lloyd has just joined us as guest in the month of February and was inducted as a rotaractor only on 2nd March 2006. Though his “rotaract life” is rather short, he has made significant impact on our club, other clubs and to certain extent, the District.

He is such a energetic and enthusiastic young man with bottomless ideas and creativities. His participation in our club has greatly lowered down our club’s average age, not biological age but in terms of energy, strength, and the urge to break the barrier and have fun.

Lloyd always complains that his president never gave him compliment or said nice things about him. He was upset that the president had always liked to make fun out of him (though he seemed to enjoy being the subject matter of the joke). Well, then this article shall serve as little compensation for the president’s omission.

Lloyd, you need no further public praises from your president or any other members for we all know in our heart that you have contributed extensively and tremendously towards the growing of our club.

How can we imagine not having you as our member for the past few months? How can we discount the fact that it was you who had motivated other people to go swimming, golfing etc? Your absence will definitely be felt immediately once we notice that from this evening onwards, no one else will call us out at night or suddenly appear in front of our house to kidnap us to the swimming pool or driving range.

I am not too good in my Malay but since PE Sunil of RAC UTP had made a pantun in his speech during recently concluded DRA 06/07, I will risk embarrassing myself by following suit. Here is how it sounds:-

Sabun jatuh semasa mandi tidak lagi dipikat
Lembu tua mati kerana masih nak minum susu
Berjuta rindu sampaikan ke Amerika Syarikat
Pulanglah dengan selamat “An Ta” baik ku

Take care, my good “An Ta” (brother in Mongolian)! We wish you safe journey and early return for there are still many things we can do together!
