27th September 09 (Sunday) was another significant day for Great2b Toastmasters. This time our destination was Pesta Penang, where the Tzu Ji Charity Food Fair was located.
The objective of this outing was to further enhance the relationship between club members and may be to obtain GOOD KARMA. Karma is the law of moral causation. In Eastern beliefs, the karmic effects of all deeds are viewed as actively shaping past, present, and future experiences. Well, Toastmasters are mostly kind-hearted people.

This was the 2nd time I had been to Tzu Ji Charity Food Fair. My experience had steered me to be smarter. This time I had prepared food containers and recyclable bags to pack my food. In case you never pay a visit to Tzu Ji Charity Food Fair, just to highlight to you, Tzu Ji (a non-profit organization which promotes humanitarian works) is advocating environmental movement. You are encouraged to either have your meal at the food fair, or get your own ‘tupperware’ to store your food if you prefer to take away. You will be charged a higher price on the food and beverage sold here if you choose to pack your food and beverage using their packaging. Prudent people like me will definitely bring along whatever‘weapon’which is necessary to avoid myself from spending extra money. Haha….Anyway, it’s a charitable activity, it’s still okay to‘donate’more to them.
1st time visitors like the twin sisters, Khai Yuen and Khai Shing, as well as Tony came to the food fair empty-handed. No choice they just have to‘donate’more to Tzu Ji. Kwek, is another‘aunty’who also brought along quite some numbers of containers like me to ensure this was a‘rewarding journey’. We had our lunch there.
The lovely twin sisters, Khai Shing & Khai Yuen and our ever-cute member, Tony.
The esurient Kwek and her body guard, Jong Hui were concentrating on eating and didn't even bother about the camera shot.
It's me (Khew) and Tony at the side.
Everybody was back with something; I and Kwek had managed to grab few containers of food. The twin sisters had bought some daily used items and souvenirs. Tony had bought himself a packet of raw roti canai.
It was rather congested and hot at the food fair, but we did enjoy the fellowship. Anyway, this was our ultimate reason of organizing this outing. We did have our club committee meeting prior to this activity. Initially, we planned to hold our exco meeting after the Tzu Ji Food Fair visit. Luckily, the president had switched the meeting time at the very last minute. Otherwise, it would be too exhausted for us to have meeting after the food fair visit . Some more, our IPP (Immediate Past President), Khai Yuen was not feeling well. It was our pleasure to have her with us despite her ‘less ideal’ health condition on that day.

It was another enjoyable outing for Great2b Toastmasters! Cheers! Hopefully more members will be available to join us next time!
