Children at The Ramakrishna Ashrama : Blogger's TLC

Dear All,

I am helping my friend in his quest to create awareness among bloggers and public on the pleas of our little orphan friends so that they can have a better childhood and growing up experience. :)

Report is as followed:

Penang, 3rd February 2013 — About 40 bloggers and public visited The Ramakrishna Ashrama to distribute food, beverages and gadgets, sponsored by various commercial entities. It’s a philanthropic exercise not only by businesses in executing their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) but by everyone to give back to the society, thus making life more bearable for everyone in need. The event is made possible by Crowdpot Sdn Bhd (Event Organizer), Ninetology Malaysia, SUBWAY® (Suntech, iAvenue, & Leith Street branches), Chatime Malaysia, Langkawi Saga Travel & Tours Sdn. Bhd. and Alextan Artworks.

The Ramakrishna Ashrama (Orphanage), Penang is a charitable organization founded in 1938 under the inspiration and guidance of His Holiness Swami Bhaswarananda Maharaj who was then stationed at The Ramakrishna Mission, Singapore. Apart from spiritual activities, the Ashrama runs an orphanage, catering for both boys and girls with ages ranging from 6 to 20 years old. The orphanage admits needy orphaned children who are poor and need the help from the society to assist them with basic needs and education. The children in the home are given proper education and are well cared for so that they will grow up to be useful citizens. Besides education, the girls learn traditional dancing, cooking and housekeeping. Children excelling well academically are encouraged to pursue higher education.

Dear all,

Have you have people ffk-ing you? I get that a lot and sometimes I am not even bothered anymore when the same person ask me out again.I understand that you are busy etc but if you are please do not make empty promises and make me treat you like a VIP and waste precious time which I can use for something else instead of waiting for you to tell me or sometimes not even telling me that you cant make it ( usually at the eleventh hour).

So anyone of you have the similar experience? do share with me :)

p/s: was there by chance when people ask you out like out of the blue and you get annoyed because it feels like you are either just by chance along their way or like you are being asked not because they want to but because there are no one else for them to approach ( sth like a extra spare tyre)?

cheers,

Chris C

Cosplay: Behind the Scenes

Dear all,

Came across this article and I found it relatable and inspiring..perhaps only to cosplayers but still, worth a read.

p/s: Flying to Kuching soon. Any recommendations on what to and where to over there?

Yours,

Yours Jelliness,

CF is coming to TOWN

Dear all,

How's life? I hope all's good and going well!

Mine at the moment is sort of plain and boring. Been keeping myself busy though with preparation for one of the biggest event of the year ( something most ACG (Anime,Comic,Game) lovers look forward to every end of the year).....COMIC FIESTA : D

Similarly to previous year, the venue for this year's CF will be held at KLCC on the 22nd and 23rd December. One of the biggest and longest running ACG event among the rest in Malaysia ;)

I will be volunteering this year as well and unlike last year, I will be cosplaying too :) Have got my costumes ready and now all left is the hardest part...MAKE UP and also WIG styling..both of which I am pretty bad at but I am working on it.Let's hope that I will not end up looking like Joker instead.

:) well, that's all for now. will update more later. ( just lazy to write eventhough there are PLENTY to write :) )


The Lazy one,

Chris C

No Shame, No Guilt...Just Love

Dear All,

Is it a sin to be different from others? Even when deep inside, we are all made of the same substance of flesh and bones...

Watch this and think..



Why discriminate? I don't, Do you?



Cheers,

Chris C

Peek-A-Boo!

Dear All,

I suppose it isn't too surprising given the fact that I have the tendency to disappear without a trace. If you are following my blog, I am sure you would have known by now..lol

Well, by chance, I decided to post something to update this already nearly dead blog.

My life couldn't get anymore hectic and chaotic at the moment..With 3 assignments which I have no idea where and how to begin , as well as work and personal matter to juggle around, you can imagine me running around without adequate sleep or rest with time and finance resources running low..

Not to mention that I have not been sticking to my strict diet and exercise regime like I used to..so now you have a panda eyed hippo sitting down typing all this stuffs at this very minute.

Then again, I am still kind of proud to say that I completed around 5 books ( of a duration of 2 months) even when during my busiest moment..

Books read:

I)The Belgariad Book #2: Queen of Sorcery

II) Kitchen Chinese

III) The Blue Notebook

IV) The Magdalena Curse



V) Chronicler of the Winds

and currently reading : Julie & Julia

Hmm..somehow Blogger has gone hullabaloo..It took me a few attempts to publish this particular post..Owh well, at least , I managed to get it through now...

Guess I will stop here for now..cheers and have a good one.

Yours,

Chris C the busy stressful bookworm
