let's build momentum for residents gathering (appreciation dinner)

we pray & hope that this residents gathering (appreciation dinner) will be a successful one!

in the past we did some gatherings, and most of the times see more than 120 peoples turned up for the gatherings, even though all these gatherings needed residents to pay certain fees, generally adult paid RM8 & kids RM5, but this year will be different, it's FOC!

so, some worry, if it's free then do we able to provide enough food for all who come for the gathering? also some worry that if it's free then residents may think the quality of food is lousy & then they may don't want to come...., honestly we are not sure too abt how many will attend this time :)

but one thing we want to ensure our residents that, although it's free but we still will serve good food & prepare good program especially for the kids, for this most like a clown will be hired to entertain vista kids, food wise if budget permit then we may want to serve the "killer" food such as satay & on the spot fried kuih-teow & ace kacang too :P

some good news to share here, we have so far got some sponsorship from vendors & still more are coming, the most encouraging one is the electrician Lee has committed to give RM500 for the event! abt the guest & VIP, yesterday YB Yeoh has confirmed to us that he will be attending the event, whereas YB Wong Hon Wai said he will try to make it, at the moment we are still waiting for YB Jagdeep Singh (EXCO)& YB Ramkarpal Singh (MP for Bkt Gelugor)'s reply.

one very important reason to organize this appreciation dinner (besides to thank the state gov't for the lift upgrade) is to appeal to their help on the building repainting fund & sinking fund, we hope to present to them this request as huge group of united residents to come together, and we believe as we show our desperation, it will definitely helps for our building repainting fund application and sinking fund matters.

so, our appeal to our beloved Vista residents, can you pls come for this appreciation dinner, and bring your friends & neighbors too.

Thanks.

residents' gathering will be on 16/8 (Saturday)

like to make an early promotion for the yr2014 Vista Residents' Gathering.

in our last MC meeting, we have decided to organise an annual residents' gathering on 16/8/14, Saturday 7.30pm, but this time will be free one :)

part of the reason we decided to make it free for our residents is because this gathering will be an appreciation dinner for the blk k lift project as well, as for this reason, the YBs who have helped us to get the gov't fund for the lifts upgrade will be invited for the gathering, and we like to say thanks to them before the newspaper reporters, so far those YBs in our invitation list are YB Yeoh Soon Hin, YB Wong Hon Wai & YB Jagdeep Singh, we will send our invitation letter to CM as well, hope that he can drop by for awhile :)

at the moment we are approaching our vendors & contractors for the cash sponsorship for the event, in the past they used to sponsor in cash or present for lucky draw, but as this year we will not be having the lucky draw, so we will channel all the sponsored cash for the better food if possible, also if by then the budget permits then possible we will hire a clown to entertain our vista kids, still remember 2 years ago the clown had brought so much fun & laughter to the peoples who attended the gathering? what a nice memory....

in order to have better estimation for the quantity of food for the gathering, we will like to invite our residents who plan to attend the gathering to register their names (it's free of charge) with the office, we will put up the notice to officially inform our residents concerning the gathering once all the detail be finalized, but we welcome residents to do the early registration with the management office.

lastly....in case...just in case, if anyone like to give donation for the gathering, we will be very happy to receive the donation so that better food will be served :P

thanks.

a good deed by resident, good lesson to learn

last Wednesday night, a blk k resident's good deed might have save vista condo from some big trouble, we would like to share the story here, and encourage our beloved residents to continue to show care for vista condo, this will indeed make vista condo a much safer place to stay :)

story goes like that, abt 8pm, a blk k resident just came back to vista condo, while parking his bike at the bike area, he noticed that a floor a bit slippery, for the time even though he was in the hurry to go back to have his dinner with the family, but he felt that he need to find out what has caused slippery floor.

so he traced the oil stain, to his shocking, he has found a bike with a Johor number plate leaked petrol badly, and got so much petrol on the floor near the blk k ground floor next to the ladies toilet, as he understood that petrol is an inflammable material, and for that quantity of petrol on the floor, if anyone just careless enough to throw a cigarette butt on it, the fire will be caused and 10 over motorbikes which parked at that area will be at risk!

so he immediately gave a MC member a call, and the member also contacted other members & guard to attend to it, the guard helped to check the bike and found the petrol tube is loosen & it cause the leak, so he helped to fix it, the MC members to attended to this also took water from ladies toilet to flush away the petrol from the floor to prevent any possible of fire, they also asked the guard to monitor the area through the CCTV as it is covered by our CCTV system.

we are not saying if this resident didn't report the case then fire will sure happen, but the chance for it not small too, because many smokers do have a habit of throwing cigarette butt on the floor, especially that area is also a walk way for many blk k residents...

this is a good example of how a good initiative of resident can help to prevent unfortunate things from happening, so we just want to share it here for the benefit of everyone in Vista Condo :)

big goals to hit in 2014/15

we hope that in this coming 12 months, some big things can be achieved, besides those small upgrades here & there...

in fact to set vision like this is very important, that was how we have dreamt & eventually to see it happened later for some big projects like entrance shade & blk k lifts upgrade. (actually other smaller projects like walkway shade, kids playground, CCTV were also went through the process of converting the vision into reality, but bigger vision will normally take much longer time to see the actualization.)

first one is the sinking fund, for we have tried very hard & so far what we have is paper judgement from the high court that we have won the case & the developer should transferred those money to us, but..., well we haven't give up yet, right now still trying all available option to recovered the money & hope to see hope break through in this coming 12 months.

second one will be the blk j & k building repainting, as now the MC have been given the green light to go ahead to apply fund from state gov't on the sharing cost of 80% - 20% basis, we should quickly decide in the MC meeting which quotations we would like to submit to the state gov't for their consideration, and to see our buildings with the new coats before next July, all by God's grace :)

third one is to replace at least 4 water tank lining, for we have at the moment 8 water tanks for residents' domestic use, 4 on top of blk k roof, another 4 at blk j rooftop, these water tanks have been serving our residents faithfully for coming to 20 years already, many of them share the common problem, ie the lining (the plastic-like material which holding the water inside the tank) start to give way & some of them have reached the stage of beyond repair, for which the replacement is needed to prevent water leakage, each water tank lining will cost from 8K to 12K depending on it's size, the good news is state gov't have approved our application of 20K to replace 2 lining, for which they will absorb 16K & from our management fund 4K, we will try to get approval in this coming MC meeting & then hopefully to send the 4K cheq to the state gov't to issue work order to the contractor to commence work on the 2 tanks (each blk one tank) as soon as possible. We wish after the 2 linings are replaced we will be able to get more fund from them to replace another 2 water tank linings in this coming 12 months.

God pls hep us..... :)
