ADVENTURE IN A SHOPPING MALL PART 2

MIDVALLEY CITY'S CNY TREAT FOR PETPOSITIVE BY aNt.
(PICTURES BY RUWAIDY MAT RASUL.)

THE NUMBER "50" was the lucky numericals for PETPOSITIVE on January 31 last month when that many amount of disabled and elderly persons - along with their caregivers and some volunteers - got invited to a Chinese New Year outing occasion . It was done in conjunction with
The Rat Year 2008.























(Above: PET+ Volunteer & Adviser Captain AKS Russell with aNt inside Optical 88 [top picture) - the eyeglass specialist centre which gave free eye checks and stylish glasses to all our members (including the blind).

The outing event was put together by Mid Valley City represented by four groups: Mid Valley Sdn Bhd, Cititel Mid Valley and Boulevard Hotels - and the latest attraction in town, The Gardens shopping experience.

Our guests were also members of the Malaysian Association of the Blind in Kuala Lumpur, the Malaysian Parkinson Disease Association (also KL) and the Welfare Community Home (WCH) in Batu Arang, Selangor.













MORE PICTURES: 1) A friendly rep (below) from Optical 88 was all smiles when we marched into their shopping lot with our wheelchairs.












2) A staff member from WCH catching up with aNt (above, left) whilst waiting for a member to complete his session.


3) Communications Manager of Cititel and Boulevard Huang Chia Ming (above, right) wasn't able to resist the urge to check out some of the latest array of flashy sunglasses which were on display on the sparkling-clean racks.

THE HAIRCUT PHOTO FILES: Talk about getting ready for the Lunar New Year! Our next stop was at La' Mode, the professional hairstylist centre on the first
floor of the Mall. Before we all got a new look, we were served a hot drink first.

And hey, there's me, down below, also having a haircut.

Actually, it wasn't my idea at first to have one. But Capt Karim insisted, claiming my
hair was "horribly all tangled up."

Really, sometimes you don't know when the good captain is being serious or just playing a joke on you!

And look! That's TraxxFM's Pei Lee, our Surprise Guest at the event who looks for a minute as if she can't take her eyes off me.


However, upon scrutiny (enlarging the picture by clicking on it), you will discover (sadly!) that the on-the-air-broadcaster is actually deep in thought on something with her gaze fixed elsewhere other than on Yours Truly!


Oh well, after the session was over, Pei still decided to stick around with me after all!

TOMORROW: The VIP 8-Course Luncheon Treat.
