Another Induction!

During our 8th Regular Meeting on 16th October 2007, members of the Rotract Club of Likas Bay witnessed another ‘Yes, I do’ event… Let’s welcome our newly inducted Rotaractors - Michelle Chong, Chelwin Soo and Samuel Yeh. Rtn Aldrin Wong was also present at the meeting.

With the induction of our 3 "youngest" Rotaractors, our club's membership now stands at 18, a good number, the chinese said. We say..lean and fit, the trio will definitely bring more energy, hip-hop fun and creativity into our club.

Congratulation and welcome on board!

We were also given a surprise visit by President Neeraj of Rotaract Club of Kuala Lumpur, who then joined us to celebrate PP Juliana Tokuzip and PP Yvonne Tan birthday.

The Coffee Experience Tour at Cap Kuda Coffee Factory

There's more to your cup of coffee than you think! The Coffee Experience Tour at the Cap Kuda Coffee Factory which was held on 6th October 2007 gave caffeine aficionados an opportunity to learn more about their favourite beverage, its origin, manufacturing process and history.

The Cap Kuda Coffee Company (or Yap Yu Sendirian Berhad, trading as Hock Lee Coffee Powder Factory) was established in the early 1960s. Today, it is one of the largest coffee manufacturers in Sabah, operating from specialized office-plant on a 1.5-acre site.

At the Coffee School, we were introduced to the various types of beans, followed by a video presentation. The highlight of the visit is none other than the coffee tasting session. We learnt the difference between a cappuccino, espresso and Sabah's very own concoction, the Kopi-O, also known as Borneo's Drink.

At the end of the visit, we were given one of their coffee products as a souvenir. We were informed that the Coffee School also offers specialized courses for coffee enthusiasts, teaching them how to brew coffee for personal or commercial needs.

Congratulation to the newly wed couple...

On 28th September 2007 is the wedding day of our very handsome and cool Immediate Past President, Rtr Jason Ho and our very beautiful and capable Club Service Director, Rtr. Esther Chong. As the wedding clashes with our regular club meeting, we decided to make the wedding our club meeting instead. This couple met in one of our Club fellowship gathering at Cempaka Square, shortly after the "first met", they started to celebrate all sort of festivals together, including Moon Cake Festival, which gave a good excuse to our IPP to date Esther under the moonlight…haha! Both of them are match made in heaven. Though IPP Jason looks very "taukeh", but he speaks very gently. A very laid back man who will snick every opportunity to relax if he could afford to. Well, like a key to a lock, Esther is made perfectly for him. Not laid back at all, has her own very strong principles and will ensure every detail is attended to. Jason and Esther marriage is a promise of love. On behalf of the club, I wish both of you forever happiness and joy.
