Hey, brothers!

Around May 2005, I was invited to attend the first meeting of Rotaract Club of Port Klang Centennial that was held at PP Kuah’s office, one of the Rotarians from Rotary Club of Port Klang. When I was there, I sat quietly and listened to what they were talking about.

After the meeting, I said goodbye to them and went back. For me, that time I was thinking, “err… may be they just joined the club to have fun.” so whether I did join them or not didn’t really matter. Then I disappeared from the club for few months.

One fine day, I received a call from our VP Hui Hui. She asked me whether I want to attend the meeting. I did not want to go, but I didn’t know how to reject Hui Hui so finally I forced myself to attend the meeting. After the second meeting (as far as I am concerned) our President Toh started calling me out for a drink (maybe he wanted to tie up our club members’ bone… hahaha!).

I still remember when President called me out for the first time, I rejected, second times I also rejected. I thought he would stop calling me and leave me alone. But he didn’t. He called me again, this time I could not reject anymore and we met each other in mamak stall.

That time, Timmy Ong, our club community service director joined us too. I know I am that type of person who need others to push me then only I will move one small step. So, of course, after the first ‘date’ with my ‘Tai Lo’ (yeah, I called my President “Tai Lo” which means Big Brother in Cantonese) I started to join the club’s activities (wuwuwu ~ = =’, I was forced by my ‘tai lo’ to join their activities…)

Whenever our club has any activity, sure my ‘tai lo’ will ask me to join, whether I like it or not. He will register for me first, then only he persuades me (sounds more like forcing than persuading, haha…), but I really appreciate what he did to me. Because, I gain a lot after attending those activities, improve my knowledge, meet new friends, more exposure to public compared to last time.

It was you guys who tell me that: “Sooling! You must have confidence in yourself!” When I need advice, when I’m down, you guys will be there. Give me a lot of opinion from different views to solve my problems.

Harnniann, Timmy and Lloyd, thank you for being my buddies. I really appreciate it and I will keep this friendship forever and ever.
