19 July 2010 12.30am (KL-Batu Pahat 300km) Victor just finished his graduation ceremony and we ding-donged here and there and finally managed to move! Picked up barang2 at my office and arrived at the Seremban rest area where Victor woke me up and said he beh tahan liao! hahaha... I drove and stopped at the rest area before Ayer Keroh/Melaka... More power naps... this was about 3.30am! Then... I tiba-tiba woke up at 5.05am.. realizing that oh no...! We're so late!... Started driving and the next stop was the Ayer Keroh Jejantas Rest area there where I couldn't take it no more... and parked... put up my legs and reclined the seats...

19 july 2010 11.30am Arrived at Batu Pahat and rushed to BP High School! Our event haven't ended (phewwww)! One of the many long term commitments of IMNC Lions Club towards the National Kidney Foundation was our Mega scale project, "Save Your Kidneys"!

This is where IMNC absorbs all costs to travel to 100 schools nationwide to give talks as well as conduct exhibitions at selected schools about the dangers of Kidney diseases and kidney failure. I was supposed to introduce Azizi Zakaria, Teen Ambassador of the National Kidney Foundation at the assembly before his talk. However, as I was overly exhausted, I could only apologize and excuse myself for that intro bit and just attend the exhibition. According to the IMNC team, the talk went pretty well! :)

Leo Club of Batu Pahat High School members who were also at the exhibition! I remembered this bunch of highly energetic youths from the June Leo Forum in Ipoh. Their spirit and energy amaze me always!

19 July 2010 3++pm - (Batu Pahat to Johor Bahru 200km?) I cant tahan adi.. luckily Victor was around hence he drove! hahaha. The girls left for JB earlier as I had a short meeting in BP Mall first.
