indeed biggest gathering ever :)

it was truly an overwhelming response on 16/8/14, our record shows total abt 230 residents turned up in the residents' gathering, the biggest gathering we have ever seen in the vista condo.

but we were a bit nervous too, in the afternoon especially, when sky full of thick & dark cloud, coupled with some strong wind, it was sign that heavy rain may on it's way :(

in fact abt 4pm when we collected those hampers from Sunshine Farlim, it was raining in the area of Paya Terubong & Farlim, then 5pm when we started to arrange the chairs & tables, our hearts pumping fast when we look at the sky.....

thank God, somehow the cloud just decided to go other places to have their round :) the weather was fantastic throughout the event, we really see how God is good to Vista Condo again :P

we do have another scare at 7.30pm, when we saw our residents just starting to come to the foyer to register their names & collecting sticker for the lucky draw, suddenly we notice the service team of YB Yeoh & personal assistant of YB Jagdeep Singh around in the parking area, and according to them the two YB already somewhere nearby, but our residents presented there not even 100, malulah if YB already here but just a few residents....

but again, thank God, by the time YB Yeoh & YB Jagdeep Singh arrived, we have abt 90% of participants waiting for them, it's was quite nice to see a big crowd welcoming them, in fact they both were quite impressed by Vista Condo residents' appreciative attitude, especially one of the service team member told us that YB has helped in many projects in this area but our apartment is the only one who regularly organizing appreciation for his help.... :)

food was good, satay was fantastic, ice kacang not bad too...., for kids, they are biggest winners of the night as they have clown to entertain & also special kids food to enjoy, it was truly a marvelous night!!!

what next....? right, we will forward few building repainting quotation for the EXCO member Jagdeep Singh to consider, for this one of the reason to organize this event, hopefully through God's help, we will have good news by the end of this year.

again, want to thank all the residents who have made this event a great success, u guys are fantastic!!!

see u all at tonight's gathering....

the registration until this already already hit 200!!! it's truly an overwhelming response from our beloved residents :)

we want to thank those residents who took the trouble to register with the office for this event because will help us to have a better estimation for the quantity of food we need to prepare, earlier on we have ordered for 200 pax, but as the registered number already hit 200, now we have ask the food vendor to increase for another 30 pax, based on our experience, it's always 20 to 30 residents who will drop by & register during the event because they only can decide to attend due to busy schedule, anyway we always welcome everyone who would like to come, the more the merrier :P

2 YB have confirmed their attendance for the gathering, YB Yeoh Soon Hin & state EXCO YB Yagdeep Singh Deo, we want to thank them for making themselves available for our gathering because at the moment all the YB are extreme busy for attending the poh-tor dinners, as now is the Lunar Calender 7th month, yesterday I spoke to YB Yeoh, he said average 3 to 4 dinners he was attending almost every night, the same frequency applied all his colleague, really not easy to be YB in Penang....

and now we are praying hard for the good weather, also we pray & hope that Almighty God will bless this event & make it a successful & memorable one for all who attend this event.

see u all, thanks.

perhaps biggest gathering this time :)

quite possible this gathering will be the biggest gathering we have ever organised so far...

up to 12pm today, the registration already reached 104 residents, among them 70+ are adults and 30+ are children, we are so encouraged & want to say "THANKS" to those who signed up early for the gathering, this will help us greatly to do the right estimation of food stuffs we need to prepare.

according to our past experience, more than 50% of ppl will sign up on the same week where the event is held, so if we follow the trend, maybe this time the number will hit 200, which is highest for the event we have organised all these years, excellent!!!

we will hope to see as many residents as possible to turn up for the gathering, besides building better relationship with each other & appreciate what the state gov't have done for us, we also want present our requests together as united group to the gov't, especially building repainting & sinking fund.

we still waiting confirmation from few YB, by the way YB Yeoh Soon Hin has confirmed to attend & even to contribute some items for lucky draw :)

(YB Wong Hon Wei said he will try to come, YB Jagdeep Singh's PA said should be OK, he also has helped us to invited Ramkarpal Singh our MP)

so if you haven't sign up (or know of anyone hasn't done so), pls do contact the office at 019-5730637 to register, we will do our best to make sure the food is more than enough for all who come, and program will be according to the plan, ie Clown to entertain Vista Kids, Satay, Ice Kacang,lucky draw, delicious dinner....

God, pls give us a nice weather & successful event :)

not to be missed....16/8/2014 :)

for those who are coming for the 16/8/2014 residents' gathering (appreciation dinner) will find very good deal on that night....

especially satay lovers, ice kacang lovers & parents with kids :)

as you know this event is free of charge, and some good quality stuffs will be served during the event.

we found out satay still a favorite food of many residents, and this time we decided to give our beloved residents a nice treat, so our fellow satay lovers, sure the satay will make your day on 16/8/2014!

how abt satay with ice kacang :P, yes we will serve ice kacang too, this two are the good combination, and we will need to make sure we order enough quantity for our residents, of course the dinner will be nice one too, fried chicken, fried rice (or beehoon) & other halal dishes too....

another highlight will be the clown, trust that many vista kids still remember how they were entertained by the clown in Vista mini carnival 2 years ago, yes that guy is really good, he brought a lot of laughter & happiness to our Vista kids, so we believe that this time he will again make the Vista gathering a memorable one for Vista kids!

oh ya, lucky draw, at first we thought of do away the lucky draw this time as the event is free of charge, but as we start to receive some cash donation for the event, to our pleasant surprise we actually can allocate some budget for the lucky draw, as per now at least 10 prizes are ready, but who know it will be more if we continue to see big donation coming in ;)

so, will you pls come......? because we also like to show the EXCO/MP/ADUN that Vista residents are the truly grateful peoples, and perhaps this will help to convince them to release more fund for our future plan, especially the building repainting, so see you guys....

thanks.
