Charity: Penang Twestival 2011

Penang Twestival Local 2011 was a great successes. We managed to raise RM7750 within 2 weeks and we are still hoping for some online donation till 31 March 2011. The event was held on 24th March 2011 at Sticks Fire Bistro, Queensbay Mall. The venue was sponsored by them and they also provide us with yummy finger food. We want to thank all the sponsors that contributed to this event and also the volunteers.

It was indeed a very busy evening for me. I didn't have the time to snap nice pictures and social around. Before the event started, I just managed to grab a few pictures to share with you all before getting really busy with the cash flow. It's purely just snap and shoot! 

  

 

Donation tickets are sold at RM40 each and 100% of the amount collected are given to NASAM directly. 

 

This is a home made teddy bear that my mum contributed. She bought the layout and design from a lady and then stuffed the bears up. Once she had done it, she will stitched all the parts together and fix the final finishing. It took her more than 1 month to complete 13 teddy bears. They were all sold out on that day itself! :) 

Blissful Memorial Park is our MAIN sponsor for that evening. They had sponsored many things and t-shirts were among the few items. Each of these t-shirts are sold, auctions or given as lucky draws. 

 

These are one and only special hand made earrings. We were told there is no identical earring in this world.  

 

Hungry? These are the feasting corner! :D

Yet Another Studio was one of our sponsors. All the designs for Penang Twestival 2011 logo, tickets design and banner designs were all done by them. Besides that, each and everyone from Yet Another Studio made the effort to be there to support the event! You guys rock! :D  

 

Mr Chan from NASAM was giving his introduction speech to everyone who came and support this charity event.  

I want to thank my mum, cousins and friends who had supported me in many ways to raise funds for this event. Love you all! :D

Penang Twestival 2010 Part 2

If you have been following my blog closely, I did mention about Penang Twestival 2010. It's just a few more days away.. 6 days to be exact. So don't miss this event as we all gather for a good cause. About 3 weeks back, I volunteered myself to be part of the committee. I was approached by Jason via twitter. Through the event, I not only managed to work side by side with him but also Prema, Nexus, Terence, Jessica and Daniel too. Each and everyone one of us come from different background and we are here to support and make Penang Twestival a great success. It was my privilege to be part of the team, to give and bless those who are less fortunate than us.

We had been meeting on a weekly basis to keep ourselves updated and make sure we are all at the right track. Besides our normal office work, we had put aside our personal time to run an extra mile for this event. We hope that more people are aware and they can do their part too. For those of you who are interested, but you have lots of uncertainties,  hope this will answer your questions. If not, do drop me a message and I will get back to you right away. Tickets can be purchase thru me. We had a press conference yesterday to bring awareness to the public. Hope everyone can play a part to contribute to our target USD 5000.

Ramdon Dinner

I am suppose to work late again today and dinner are always provided. Guess I was just too tired to be stuck in office since 8am this morning. So I decided to get hold of Jup26 and have dinner with her. We meet up at QBM and went for Kim Garry as we didn't know what else to eat. Both of us were very tired and just want to relax and not think. :P Okay maybe it's just me who can't think anymore after the long day. I really don't know how I am going to stand the rest of the night 

We managed to catch up a little here and there. It's good to see her in person to make sure she is in good hand. Good way to relax and chill out even for an hour. Thanks Jup26 for making the effort to meet up with me at the very last minutes. Appreciate your company. 

Nothing much for me to blog about today as I was very busy with work and Penang Twestival. Looking out for more volunteers and sponsorship. Anyone would like to volunteer for good will? Please let me know! I am praying hard that one of the company that I had approached will give me a good feedback within this week. Keeping my finger crossed all time!

Here is a picture I took... see it yourself and let the pictures explain itself.
