Assistant Governor's Training 9-11 September 2011.

I have been nominated as Asisstant Governor's for the year 2012-2013. To prepare myself for this post I was asked to attend this training at Hat Yai, Thailand. Since I have not been to Hat Yai, I am looking forward to visit this popular place among the Malaysians.

Eidil Fitri 1430 Hijrah (AD2009)

Recent Eidil Fitri 1430 Hijrah bring back some news from old friends who used to be Rotarian of RC Kampong Baharu. Azlan who was one of the charter member came as volunteer for Riang Raya Bersama-mu 2009 program. He was one of the early bird who showed up at the venue. Good on you Azlan. Hope one of these days you will come back to RCKB as active member.

Email/sms was received from Azalea and Hj.Zainuddin Tahir. The rest diam membisu. I wonder how they are doing with their lives. Busy I suppose. What ever it is you are always welcome to participate at any RCKB function. I like to borrow my alma matter motto which I amended to sound like this, Once a Rckbrian always aRckbrian. Salam.

Please note all posting on Rotary Club Kampong Baharu activities will be posted at rckb.blogspot.com
This blog will be used for my personal posting on matters related to Rotary activities.

The programme below is being proposed as RCKB activity during this festive seasonn.

It is quite challenging trying to be a true Rotarian. Providing Humanitarian services to the community is not an easy job. It is like mind over body situation where the mind is willing but the body is not. What make it tough is that you can not do the job in isolation ie by yourself . It has to be a team effort. This is where the true challenge lies, getting others to join and be committed to the job, as if motivating oneself is not enough.
Many Rotarian got themselves involved not knowing what it actually entailed. For example, the weekly meeting or as we term it fellowship gathering where Rotarian meet to discuss and exchange ideas only takes not more than two hours each time but many Rotarian find it difficult to attend let alone contribute fresh ideas. If one can not manage to attend this meeting regularly then what the hell he or she want to be called a Rotarian.
Next is the small financial commitment toward running of the club. It is each Rotarian responsibility to ensure all the dues are paid regularly as the club itself have to pay certain dues to the parent body. If a club is having cash flow problem, it will never be able to discharge its responsibility to the community.
This problem is not new and it is believed that many clubs are going through the same phase. The key to this issue is that each new Rotarian recruited must be committed to the Rotary cause. The question is can the club find such person in this difficult time.

Saya telah menerima berita sedih ini semalam dari En.Azwari, bekas ahli RCKB. Didalam email, beliau telah menyatakan bahawa Rtn. Dr.Shuib telah pergi meninggalkan kita untuk selamanya. Arwah telah memghembus nafasnya yang terakhir pada jam 3.40 pagi. Jenazah beliau telah diuruskan dimesjid Subang Jaya dan kemudian telah disemadikan ditanah perkuburan USJ22.

Seperti yang saya telah warwarkan sebelum ini, arwah telah terlantar di Universiti Hospital sejak dua bulan yang lepas menderita sakit kencing manis. Saya berkesempatan melawat arwah sebanyak dua kali. Kali terakhir saya berjumpa, arwah nampak ceria dan telah menasihati saya supaya terus menabur bakti melalui pergerakan Rotary.

Arwah adalah salah seorang charter member RCKB. Beliau sedang mengikuti kursus ijazah undang undang di UiTM melalui kaedah KLK, tahun 3. Arwah telah memberi cadangan supaya RCKB menubuhkan 'community clinic'.

Sama sama kita berdoa semoga roh beliau ditempatkan bersama sama orang yang beriman. Ameen!

We now can exist in another dimension, virtual community. If you are having several email addresses, blogs, communicate online most of the time, having pc, notebook, pda and spend more than 2 hours staring at the screen daily, man! you are already part of this community. What seperate the virtual world from the real is that you have to eat and do those physical things.Some people even go to the extend of getting married on the net, have children and keep pet and garden in the virtual world. They will visit keep in touch with their virtual family on daily basis, taking their pet to the vet in case it is sick. Of course you may not meet the real person unless you choose too.If you happened to pass by some of the cafe you will see some of the inhabitants of the virtual world. They seemed to be lost in their own world. Some time they can be seen smiling to no one in particular. Only their body is there but they are somewhere else.The virtual world follow different set of rule or no rule really. You are free to do so many thing. Yeah fight, quarrel, fall in love, tell lies. It is only when men try to mix this world with the real that trouble start, like when Raja Petra end up in lock up. (he is on bail I heard)
So far only Azlan had accepted my invitation to blog in rckampongbaharu. What happened to the rest I wonder?
