GOTONG ROYONG 

PEMBERSIHAN SURAU ADDINIAH

BUKIT ANTARABANGSA

3 JAN 2009 • SABTU

8 PAGI

Many Thanks to Jay for this announcement.

3rd January being a Saturday should enable us to start the new year with a renewed sense of goodwill and generousity. 

Humble Apologies. Initially there was a slight miscommunication about this announcement. It is not the new Masjid but the old surau. Any inconveniences caused is highly regretted. 

Welcoming the New Year

Tonight, Sinaran Ukay will be hosting a pot-luck dinner by the poolside and everyone is invited. Let us keep it very simple by bringing along your very own choice of goodies.

Do join us in making this occasion a memorable one especially when a new extra second will be added on this very last day of the year at 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds coordinated universal time. (who says we don't have much time?)

This is to synch the two timescale: one based on the rotation of the earth (which seems to be slowing down) and the one based on the man-made atomic time. For further reading click here

Let's usher in the brand new year together as neighbours and wishing everyone 'A very Happy New Year !'

As commented by Mamu

Kadang2 kite ni senang nak cakap. Untuk matlumat semua ada satu insiden dimana tenant atau kawan tenant yang tidak memiliki kad akses ingin masuk kondo kami telah dihalang oleh guard kami, dia ugut guard dgn weapon. 

So, macam mana nak handle kes ni?


Thank you concerned residents for bringing this up.

Salam Ma'al Hijrah

Maal Hijrah or Awal Muharram is the start of the Muslim calendar year. Literally it means - migration and celebrates the prophet Mohammed's s.a.w. migration from Mecca to Medina in the year 622 AD. 

Therefore, it is a time for a new beginning, a change from bad to good and a chance to re-evaluate one's life and direction. 

May God Bless our Beloved Neighbourhood.

POTLUCK - the defination

http://www.rasamalaysia.com/2006/10/potluck-party-malaysian-style.htm

A couple of nights ago we had an informal discussion about the expectations of the planned potluck due in 4 days time. There were questions like - 'what shall I bring, how much should it be, is this food considered potluck, what if I don't bring anything can I be considered invited?

Well folks based on the good old free dictionary Wikipedia .......

Potluck dinners are often organized by religious or community groups, since they simplify the meal planning and distribute the costs among the participants. Smaller, more informal get-togethers with distributed food preparation may also be called potlucks. The only traditional rule is that each dish be large enough to be shared among a good portion (but not necessarily all) of the anticipated guests. In some cases each participant agrees ahead of time to bring a single course, and the result is a multi-course meal. Guests may bring in any form of food, ranging from the main course to desserts.

There you go.... hope it shed some light.

You may if you want, leave a comment on what you want to bring, (not necessarily food) but otherwise surprise us !

For a start, we have included a poll for your votes.

Let's make Sinaran Ukay bersinar-sinar !

An encouraging New Year Resolution

Thank you very much for all the comments and encouraging words.

Even though it has not been widely publicised, it is pretty obvious that many of us use the blog to express their hope in making Sinaran Ukay a more neighbourly place to live in.

There are a couple of issues that we need to address and one of them is of course the problem of logging into the blog. We know that many would like to contribute ideas but are 'IT' challenged or simply do not have the means. That is why we need to find a solution when we meet soon.

For a start, a gathering to usher in the New Year was enthusiastically suggested. A potluck dinner is simple enough to be executed by anyone, upon which we can expand our thoughts about moving forward. This is especially so if we can find more writers to join as team members for this blog. After all this is the voice of the residents. It is easy to write and all you need is just a password.

In the meantime, efforts are being made to have a projector available to telecast the countdown from TV (depends on the availability) , and a laptop to demonstrate the use of the blog (depends on a wifi connection).

We can then eat and be merry while we wait for the explosive new year fireworks which we have traditionally been witnessing annually from the top floor of our condominium.


So be it .....
