Child Sponsorship

August 13th, 2009 | Comments | Posted in Life log, Misc | Written by chenhow - 1,204 views

Inspired by one of the article written by my bro, JJ (Dawn Rhythm), a guy who’s like to watch WWE and UFC covering with all the blood scene. Who’d have thought a violence guy like JJ in the bottom of his heart actually wanted to do something for the society.

And because of him, I came to know this programme called ‘World Vision‘. Through this programme, you can sponsor a child in need by contributing only minimum RM50 per month.

The ultimate goal of this programme is giving sponsored child a better and healthier world to live by providing them clean water, health care and food. And part of the fund will be used to teach villagers how to improve harvests so they can have a stable income.

Here is my sponsored child and his name is WIN, Than Hlaing. WIN is from Myanmar and he has 2 brothers and sisters. His father is a fisherman and mother is an unemployed.

When my parents came to know that I’m sponsoring a child, they actually very proud of me, just that they are curios why my sponsor child is without front teeth.. Ahaha funny question though, in fact, I just don’t want to become bias, so I will just sponsor whoever assigned to me from world vision.

Anyway, helping people’s really makes you feel better. So come to join.

If anyone interested in sponsoring a child, you can goto http://www.worldvision.com.my/ or click the “sponsor a child” banner on the left sidebar.

Happy Birthday to Pohmeng

July 13th, 2009 | Comments | Posted in Life log | Written by chenhow - 467 views

Too bad I’m in Singapore and can’t attend your birthday Party, so I will waste one of my post to write about you, to let more ppl to know you and increase your chances to know more chicks. :)

OK, Pohmeng is someone I knew from my ex company, he has good attraction to women with his innocent looks and charming smile, eventhough I think he looks more like a pervert than innocent.

He always listens first before giving his own opinion, that makes him a good listener and you would like to share more things with him.

He definitely 1 of the person I trust and 1 of my buddy.

He is curently single, so anyone interested on this guy should drop by his blog to learn more about him.
