So many wonderful and exciting things are happening here in Pulau Pinang ...and with the IWA choir,the Lions CLub of GT Mutiara)...I just don't know where to begin now.

Suddenly I realized that LIFE IS SO FULL OF EVERYTHING one can ask for..and yet,how many of us over look soooooo these things.,.!

To make it simple,let me enumerate what is happening out here.WIsh I have all the time to expound on these things !!!BUT TIME IS THE ESSENCE!

l.RE: The IWA choir...
We are in the process of polishing our christmas
songs which we will sing for the CHristmas season.
As usual,we have specific places(HOmes and by invitation) t o perform and this is just getting us all in the spirit of things>BTW.sorry for the repeatition in my photos of our wonderful choir.
I am just sooo proud to say that we ar really having a wonderful time together and being able to share the message of love,hope and peace(goodwill) to the whole world!!So far,these are the best photos I have ever come across in my photo shoots!!!

2.RE:The LCGTown Mutiara.....
As being the EDITOR of our club bulletin,I a m really up to the neck,with myp ohotos ,my editing ,and trying to get some more articles for each month!At times ,I wonder how we are able to manage but some how at the end of the day,we do..and with great surprise as to its end results!HARD WORK does pay in the end!

Right now,we are continuing with our regular community service projects and trying to make each time a better and a memorable experience for us and the community as well.IT is TIME consuming,I must admit,but in the Lions CLubs International,this is one of the prerequisites before you can be a Lion...THat is...one of being DEDICATED ,COMMITTED and have the HEART to do these kind of voluntary work...not for one's glory but for the community that we serve,and for the club that we are also committed to.

THe projects that we have been following through are as follows:
l.Those as required by Lions International..like the Peace POster Competition(Which was of the latest)...and others coming up.

2.In the home front:we have been visiting HOMEs (like lately,a shelter home,called SHAN CHILDREN's Home where the abandone children or neglected Indian children are nurtured and cared for by caring set of Indians whose aim is to help give these boys and girls a bright tomorrow and to be able to live a life that is full of love,hope ,aspirations inspite of their unfortunate and unpleasant experiences which has brought them to this" place of haven"........
I hope I can share this with you later cause I am preparing to attend a leadership training program in KL sponsored by th e Lions CLub..on the DIstrict level..........

With some imagination from you..I am sure you can see how life is made of..and of which you and I have a very important role to play in...if we are to continue making it a better place to live it!!!

I must get back to my pre-assignments that need to be done before we go to our leadership training next week or so.

MEanwhile,my best wishes to all of you..and may you all find the wonders of living,tho at times,there are still alot of sadness,and misery that abounds around us!BEING OPTIMISTIC WILL HELP ..so..let us all give a hand to making life on earth still...liveable and of a great challenge to everyone of us!!!

Take care..
WIth love..
