Fathering a child.
Anything is possible these days. What I really mean is man giving birth to a baby. Read in STAR yesterday, Ruben from Spain expecting a twin. In the same article it mentioned another man from US , Thomas had given birth to a baby girl named Susan last June and he is expecting another baby this coming summer. Just imagine all eye will be staring at his ballooning belly when the couple tell friend that they are expecting another baby.
So man if you think your partner is infertile, that is no excuse really to set up a second branch. Why not get a D.I.Y kit and have that baby. Once you can feel the baby inside you can tell your partner that " Yang, I mengidam buah kedongdong la. Tolong carikan."

RYLA 2009. (Rotary Youth Leadership Award)
Early this month Rotary Club of Kampong Baharu sponsored two candidates to attend a RYLA at Out Bound Malaysia Lumut. RYLA is a workshop/seminar organised for youth development. It has similar objectives like Kursus Khidmat Negara but carried out with shorter time frame. As usual the sponsored candidates make a visit to the club to share their experience with Rotarian of Kampong Baharu. In 2007 Rotary Club of Kampong Baharu was the hosting club for the event which took place at the same venue.

RI President is the highest office in the Rotary Organisation. RI President D.K. Lee hailed from South Korea and happened to be the first RI President appointed from this part of the world. The RI President this year carry a special message to reduce child mortality. Many of this year programs go toward providing foods, medical care, clean water and creating jobs for parents which in the long run help young children. According to him the current recession gave greater challenge to Rotarians to provide services to the community. The function also provide opportunity to recognise contribution by Rotarians over the past one year.

OFF PEAK TRAVEL.

Recently I had to travel to Kuantan to fetch my mother in law who wanted to come to Kuala Lumpur. Since I had to leave for Kuantan very early in the morning I was spared the normal traffic jam. The journey took about two hours. Not only the road was deserted, I also did not see a single traffic police during the journey. Most of the rest area was also empty. Sometimes I wonder why we do not take the advantage of travelling during off peak period, instead we tend to join the mad rush during festive season to balek kampong.
