Breaking News! Again??

Lest some of us may think that our blog has been abandoned due to a lack of news (whether good or not so good), we are actually breaking the silence to say that your neighbourhood blog is not in dreamland yet! And what better news to break the lull other than to report that as of yesterday that were two break-ins in our area!! Well, we had 'relative' peace of mind with respect to security for about 4 months after security guards were engaged and now this! Still need to be on guard lah! Back to square one??

Such a Dedicated Lot!

On Thursday, 21st August around 5.30 pm to 7.30 pm there was an open lorry with 1 gal and 4 guys going around the neighbourhood with a loudspeaker. No, they were not collecting 'old newspapers'. They were RT members drumming up support for the guarded community scheme, and importantly, to remind residents to make payments for Sept/Nov 09.

One guy with 'ahem' manly but sometimes shaky voice (must be the lorry lah) and this gal, clear and distinct making the announcement in english and manderin respectively. A younger man was holding on and directing the loudspeaker to get maximum message power. Along the way, some residents came scurrying ,stopped the lorry, and handed in cheques.

If only our civil servants would show such dedication to their work and duties!

Surely the community give thanks to Lee Kwee Cheng, HK Tan, Chin Hock and Charles Ong. Ngiam came for the ride. The view of SS2B is quite different from atop an open lorry on a cool, breezy twilight evening as the sun slowly dips in the distant horizon!!

It's Never Too Old To Have Fun

Monday August 17, 2009
By ZALINAH NOORDIN
PETALING JAYA: Seventy-year-old Jenny Hew has happy feet which keeps her feeling young. “Dancing makes me feel young and happy. This is a good pastime as it is a form of exercise and fun too,” said the septuagenarian who with 600 others took part in a massive line dance party at The Atria shopping mall here yesterday.
She said line dancing could be taken up by everyone, from children to “people my age” as it is a not strenuous activity. Another participant, 65-year-old Rosy Tan said she had found many new friends through line dancing.
“Who says old grandmothers like us have to stay at home and knit?” said this grandmother of five from Penang at the event, dubbed “Good Time Line Dance Party” organised by BPR Line Dance.
Organiser Prince Lam, an avid line dancer, said the event was a good way to promote healthy living the fun way.
Retiree Ken Ong, 60, said he persisted with his line-dancing despite the comments of his male friends.
“What is there to be shy about? The most important is that I’m having fun and I’m healthy,” said the Petaling Jaya resident.
Christina Chan, another dance enthusiast who was also the event emcee, said dancing kept her fit and trim. “Line dancing is interesting because it incorporates different types of dance routines ranging from the waltz, cha-cha, rumbha and even salsa,” she said.
True enough, all of the participant had a blast of a time dancing to fast songs such as Rock Around The Clock, Jai Ho and even Spanish numbers such as Viva La Vida and Bossa Nova.
