A Light in KL City
Directed by Rey Buono
Featuring music by Mia Palencia.

A Light in KL City tells the story of ordinary people living in KL who have become stuck; stuck in a job, or a relationship, in a moment of their lives. In a city flooded with artificial lights, so many are still searching for a light to guide them.
This Christmas, the Electric Minds Project presents the tale of four strangers who have found the world fallen out from under their feet, who have become lost in the darkness.
But it is only by shadows that we can see the light.

ACTS Malaysia held a fundraising dinner a few Saturdays ago to collect funds for their activities.

I was there to show support to my colleague.

Thank you Nick!!!

The Salsa girls for the night. Can anyone say Hot! Hot! HOT!!?

I went to the 2nd Life Changing Party held at the MATRADE.

All of us attended the party as our future selves. My character? An Oscar nominated actress, of course. Hahaha!!! Well at the party, I was the only one with that dream.

OK, fine. I know that actresses are not supposed to have double chins. I will work on that.

A lot of the participants went there as Property millionaire/tycoons. There were a couple of dog trainers, a few life coaches, health gurus, salsa dancers and an underwater photographer. But no actors except yours truly.

Anyways, in the party, the year is 2013. We are all the successful people we dreamt and planned to be since 2008.

You are ushered into a corridor filled with screaming fans and paparazzi. This is very fun. Now if I can only get my hands on those shots by the paparazzi. It probably would not turn out quite right.

There are 4 main goals to achieve in the party. I achieved 3 out of 4. Not bad right? One of the reason I did not achieve the 4th one is because I was too busy focusing on the other 3. Which one did I not achieve? WEALTH!!!

You are probably shouting, “Say what?�

My other goals were Health, People and Charity & Foundation. I have excellent health and a great network of friends. Honestly, money cannot buy that can it? Plus, I have enough money to give to charity and start my own foundation, HOPE.

With Mom

During the games, my net worth did grow. I started the game with 2 millions. And in the end, made about 3.8 million which 1.1 million went to charity. Awesome right?

Thanks to this guy, Fad, I doubled my income. I have so much to learn from this man.

With Tai Ka Che, Freda Liu. (She said I lost weight since she last saw me in April. That really made my day!!!)

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present Mark Lee, the super underwater photographer.

Super team, Freda and Fad, discussing with Milan Doshi.

With Dr Jeffrey, my health therapist.

The man behind the party, Sen Ze

There should be another party at the end of the year. If you are interested, just check out Life Changing Party for more details.

PENANG FORUM

Date: 13 April 2008 (Sunday)
Time: 8.15am to 4.30pm
Place: Disted College (Jalan Macalister/Jalan Cantonment)
Fee: RM5/participant to cover lunch and refreshments (payable on the day)
Registration: Phone 04-658 5251 (from Tuesday to Saturday during office hours) or email aliran@streamyx.com

Programme: See below
Organised by: the two dozen-odd NGOs who organised last year’s Pesta Rakyat Merdeka.
Who should participate: Anyone and everyone interested in helping to chart a better future for Penang.
How to prepare: Think about concrete plans of action in areas which concern you, which can be presented to the new state government or
other state agencies.

Join us at the Penang Forum to debate and propose plans of action on how NGOs and other groups can work with the new Penang Government to implement people-centred development and to promote more democratic, participatory and transparent governance.

We will be looking at issues including environment, transport and urban issues, governance, women, workers, disabled, youth and
students, and arts,culture and heritage.

The purpose of the 13 April forum is to start a process that would enable us to we establish our own agendas and plans of action for consideration by the state government and its agencies; we would be looking to develop follow-up action (for example: the formation of specialised working groups to further develop proposals on particular topics) and to establish a regular official scheduled forum of exchange with the state government so that our plans and proposals can be systematically fed in and discussed.

Please forward this to anyone you think may be interested.

Forward to a better Penang! Together we can make a difference!
