RED GLAM PARTY...Post Mortem

This post should have been posted a week ago, but..it seems like everyone is busy with so many things...yeah, it's coming towards the end of 2008, and lots of events are being hosted everywhere..and some of us are personally involved in organizing these events...and further more, everyone is in the mood of holiday'ing already...Yippeee...Merry Christmas to everyone...A very good excuse for not updating this blog for such a long time...hehehe..Cheers, anyway....

You might have read about our (the O2Cs) activities in our own personal blogs..how we have came to volunteer for KASIH... On the 6th of December 2008 7 O2C members have volunteered to help out distributing flyers and condoms to the general public..Going around with a huge signage hanging on our necks in Kompleks Karamunsing, with our main objective to give out the flyers and create awareness among our local people about the importance of AIDS education..It was fun, we enjoyed it very much...and how we discovered that, many people don't know much about AIDS yet...when they saw the sign "I Have AIDS, Please hug me" on our body, they turned around and walked away, some even freaked out, let alone come forward and give a hug..but of course, those who know, they were more than willing to give a warm hug..Ow well, of course we are not HIV patients...NEGATIVE ok..Hehehe...

The next day on the 7th of December, we have the RED GLAM PARTY...the party has been organized by O2C in support of KASIH and Malaysian AIDS Foundation (MAF)..Again, our objectives were, to raise funds for MAF and to create AIDS awareness among the general public...By looking at the numbers of people who have come that night, we can tell that the party was successful..We have full house, or maybe almost..It was good enough...The presentation on AIDS in Sabah by Dr.Roddy Teo was really insightful...I was shocked to know that Sabahan are among the highest contributors to the statistic of AIDS cases in Malaysia...and this is something that we should be worrying about...it's not too late to educate our people yet...We really hope that those who have come that night have learned something very important..WE FIGHT AIDS, NOT PEOPLE WITH AIDS....

The O2C or Oleng Oleng Circle family is a social group consisting of young professionals working from various departments and private sectors organizations...Our group is constantly looking foward to organize or co-organize events...Mostly for charity purposes...We are actively moving in a group, going places and promoting them through bloggings...Sampling food from restaurants, hawker stalls, cafes, coffee houses and make recommendations...It is good, we find this very interesting...As we go along, people start to recognize us, and understand the things we are doing..We are yet to register our club under NGO, so that we could be more transparent in the future..It is important, because sometimes, we need to organize something which involve "money"..and we don't want to create perception among the general public that we are taking advantage on them...

There will be more activities which are going to be organized by O2c in the future..and we are all so eager about it...Next to come is our Christmas Party...we open this to our members only, but of course..who ever wants to join us, you are most welcome to do so...We are going to have christmas exchange gifts....YOUR BUDGET IS RM20...Get something which can be used by both male and female...you might not know, to whom your gift will go to...Hehehehe...

Cheers...

Pics will be posted tomorrow...:)
