Welcome fellow Rotaractors of RAC Kowloon Northwest!

Contributed by Rtr Vivien Kuah

The visit from our fellow Rotaractors from Hong Kong to our humble town of Klang on Tuesday night (18.04.06) was short but certainly eventful. Although we were not their host Club, (RAC Subang was kindly hosting them), I do hope that we have done our best to make them comfortable and happy during their short outing to Klang that evening!

At 8pm, President Harley of RAC Subang reached Klang with a car full of friendly smiling friends from Hong Kong. Meet our 4 new friends, Rtrs Angus, Alvin, Kwan and Shari from the Rotaract Club of Kowloon Northwest! They had been here for 5 days already, in which President Harley had brought them around KL, Ipoh and Malacca and this was their 2nd last day in Malaysia before flying back to HK the next night. Attending from our club were Rtrs Eng Tee, Timmy, Lloyd, Soo Ling, Feldman, Diana, Shawn, myself and our President Toh. Rtr Fei Lin of RAC Shah Alam was present along with President Ping Ling of RAC Bandar Sunway as well.

Our first destination? Bah Kut Teh (BKT) dinner session of course!!! How can we have visitors come to Klang and not try our very famous BKT? Anyway, our dear guests tasted our BKT, soup and dry as well, but we seemed to have got carried away and ordered a bit too much. We had our photography session and exchanging of bannerettes after everyone’s stomach was filled and headed off to our 2nd destination of the night… Karaoke!

People from outside would have thought our room was filled with professional singers! Ok, maybe I’ve exaggerated it a little, but there were certainly a few talented singers that night, blaring out their vocals and entertaining the rest. Our guests from HK were good and sporting singers as well and surprisingly liked songs from our local singers Michael Wong (Guang Liang) and Fish Leong. Our karaoke session ended at 11.30pm with a little Souvenir-giving Session by our President Toh, who presented our guests with a few local Malaysian products such as Tongkat Ali Coffee, Dodol, as well as Bah Kut Teh herbs packs for them to bring back to HK to share with their family and friends.

You’d think this was the end of our night, but no….how can we possibly end the night so early even though most of us had to wake up early the next morning for work?

Food was in our minds again, and this time, we headed for another Malaysian specialty – the Mamak food stall. Once there, President Harley was playing the good host again and ordered some Satay and Tandoori chicken for our guests, which we were informed by President Harley that they enjoyed eating previously. Since this was to be their last night in Malaysia, we thought that they should have these foods again before returning to HK. I left the mamak around 12.30am together with my brother P.E. Feldman, leaving the group still enjoying their food and drinks (they left at 1.30am!), but not before I said my goodbyes and wished our fellow guests a good day ahead.

We hope to see you all again!
