Another weekend at Red Crescent HQ

twas another weekend like the last at mrcs hq where a bunch of us volunteer doing things that need to be done for the tsunami relief ops. but last saturday i was joined by a few of my colleagues at work. marisa, neza, mimi, marlin, bee, haniza, haliza, izham, ridzwan. twas a pleasant surprise.

so what did we do? the usual lah. pack boxes on wooden pallets, and shrink wrap them. move and stack em until the trucks come for pick up. the ladies sort out the donated clothes - wearable from the junks. oh yeah, there are still inconsiderate people donating kain buruk - that most of us wouldnt even think of using them to wipe the kitchen floor.

saturday evening i attended a different event. my malaysian amateur radio emergency service society (mares) annual dinner. the same evening, we sent two of our members to acheh under yayasan salam banner. they'll be there for two weeks, providing emergency radio communication as well as communication management between various organisations there. my doa to them selamat pergi, selamat kembali.

sunday was another day at mrcs hq. two of my colleagues came again. wee weee marlin and bee. at 2:30 pm a convoy of 2 40-foot trailers, 10 trucks and a few vehicles fully loaded with supplies left mrcs hq with police escort for port klang. the supplies will be delivered to acheh via navy vessels kd mahawangsa and kd inderasakti.

today im going to mares club house after work. we're delivering boxes of supplies to mindef collection centre. when that's done, it'll be to mrcs for the rest of the evening.
