One word that bring us this Far- Teamwork!

Dear Fellow Friends and Family

11 Feb2012 1100hrs Penang, Malaysia

Today marks yet another achievement for our team as we took delivery of our team Hilux 2.5AT from Prima Pearl Toyota Sdn, Bhd in Sunway Tunas, Penang.

Our new addition lady Hilux carries the number plate of PKL 4745 (get your pencil and head down to the nearest 4D shop now!) and she is as gorgeous as she could be, sleek bodyline and having all the muscle to do the job. She is all we have to bring us to London on 1 June 2012.

Immediately after taking delivery of her, our team member Adrian King drove her to the nearest petrol station for full tank top up (don't ask me which petrol station he went) and both us heads directly to OFA  Penang for our scheduled meeting with Kek Fei, Cher and Saik Mun.

I and Adrian reached OFA early and we had lunch in our usual restaurant, the OFA Restaurant. The meeting started at about 1315hrs and we managed to clarified a few of pending issues. 

 

All team members present showed great commitment and enthusiasm to make this trip a unforgettable one. Our team has committed to The Star Foundation to raise RM100,000 for the homeless children and we are confident to reach the target within our 8 weeks trip to London.    

We could not have done it till this stage without the effort and contribution from every single of our team members. 

Thank you Team and let us works even closer to set our sight to London 30July 2012! 

Brgds

The A Team!

Sat 04 Feb2012 Old Town Coffee at New World Park Penang

Today marks the first time we have 100% attendance from all team members who committed their time and effort to make this trip a successful one.

Our final team members consists of all Old Frees (for some of you out there who still do not know what this means, Old Penang Free School boys!) except the lady of our member and our avid professional outdoor cameraman.

As mention, we choose to make this decision not because it is easy but because it is HARD!

We had half of our team purposely driving from KL to Penang just to attend our 3 hours meeting and return to KL on the same day. This is what we call 'the Action guy' and this attitude is what differentiate between the 99% masses and 1% ultra successful people! Ultra successful people puts idea on the move...

Thank you again for your support and lets Get Penang on the WORLD MAP!

Support from Old Frees Association Penang President!

Dear Family and Friends

I am proud to share below email sent by our present OFA Penang President Mr. Rajendren on his full support towards our project.

The whole journey during the trip preparation has never been easy and most time an uphill task. We will never come so far without the support from all corners especially Old Frees from all over the world.

Thank you very much again.

Best regards
Steven

Hi all,

We are glad to share with OFA members and or Old Frees that a group of Old Frees who do not represent any organisation are planning for a driving trip from Penang to London starting from 1 June 2012 till 30th July 2012.  Capt. Steven Foong, who is leading the group, informed us that their main intention for the trip are as follows :

1) Spread happiness and love by visiting overseas orphanages along the trip and to share our beautiful Malaysian diversified cultures.
2) Fund raising for needy orphanages in Malaysia.
3) Penang Free School alumni still have what it takes to set a fine example of achievers as a Premier School in Malaysia and now show the true meaning of "Malaysia Boleh".

They have created a blog for more information on the trip www.worldtourforchildren.blogspot.com  Or you may liaise with Capt. Steven Foong ( th_steve@ymail.com ) for more information.

We thank you.

Christmas Joy To The Less Fortunate- Do join us to spread the joy of Christmas to children homes

Dear Family and Friends

It is end of the year again and the holiday mood is back... with Christmas round the corner follow up by New Year and Chinese New Year 2012.

One can't imagine all these 3 happy and family occasions happen within a month apart and I am sure everyone are busy preparing for the big day...  question like 'Should I wear Red or Blue for Christmas dinner?' or 'Where should we have our Chinese New Year eve dinner?' or 'Where should we party our head off for New Year Eve countdown?' sure rings everybody (or almost everybody) heads out there...

But yet again, there is a saying 'One complain about the ugly shoe he have but forgotten those without foot to wear his ugly shoe'...

There are always many ways to spread the joy of Christmas other than big turkey or lavish gifts. We could look around us and share a small portion of our happiness to those who are less fortunate than us...

I and wife are organizing a simple visit to a children homes this coming Christmas 25 Dec 2011 lunch time. We believe in sharing and there is nothing more cheerful to us than to see those smiles on everyone faces rather than those who can 'afford' Christmas... EVERY child deserve Christmas

Purpose: To understand the challenges faced by the 'less famous' and 'less financial' aided homes

Date: 25 Dec 2011

Time: 1100hrs till 1300hrs

Place: Persatuan Kebajikan Sinar Ceria, 1 Jalan Sejahtera, Taman Sejahtera, 14000 Bukit Mertajam, Penang

What to bring: Bring yourself and lots of joy :)- Of course a little donation won't hurt the children... there is no obligation or commitment as to what you give... a gift is STILL a gift and the values comes from the heart and NOT from $$$ worth

Not provided: We will only provides food and gift for the children. Visitor are not provided with MEALS or Christmas gift. Please not come if you looking for FREE FOOD! 

Do feel free to contact us if you wish to join us for this beautiful event.

Note: This event has nothing to do with race, religion or politic! Keep those away...

Old Frees Association Singapore 21 Oct 2011 Dinner

Good friendship comes a long way and there is nothing more fulfilling compare to a simple dinner where decades old friendship bonded in Penang Free School comes alive again. 

We are all a very unique and special individual as Scholar, Sportsman and Gentleman. I hope the past, present and future Frees will continue to be the flag bearer to once a Great School. 

As my buddy Adrian King said, 'It is not the magnificent white buildings or the past trophies that makes us Great. It is Us, her children who continue to proved to the World that Old Frees are indeed Great man'
