Dear folks,
The organizing committee for HPA Gala Dinner, headed by Alex Butt, has been busy putting together various pieces to make sure we all have a good time on 4 November 2010. Here’s a sneak preview of what awaits us:
<<<Limited seats ; only 40 Tables! Clickhereto book online >>>
Come to HP Gala Dinner on 4th November, 2010 and experience a night filled with a different blend of era as we voyage into different times of the 60’s to the 90’s. Come dressed as a Flower Power lovebird, a simple sarong villager or your grand pa pants. So, come on and let your hair down as we take you through a journey of ‘Yesterday Once More’!
Cheer our sporting bevy of beauties from within and outside HP as they take to the runway and dazzle you with poise, fashion and bling!
There will be performers from home grown local talents good enough to make for our Integrated Resorts. You will be totally mesmerized with scintillating gyrations and familiar songs from yester-years.
A sumptuous dinner beckons and an occasion to renew old friendships and make some new connections.Click here to book online

HPA 3rdCharity Ride, 14 November 2010 Sunday
This year will be special and exciting as we dove-tail this event with NParks completion of 150km of “park connector network” and completion of Woodlands Waterfront Phase 2.
Our target is to raise $50,000. Thus far, pledge donations are close to $40,000 from individuals. Understandably, the last$10,000 will be an uphill climb.
Last week, I was at a charity run and 37 companies pledge in excess of $380,000 towards a charity cause driven by a Government agency; no sweat. I am OMO going around friends, network, rattling my “can in hand” in your face begging for money!
If you can OR if you will, donate and join in this scenic ride. This is NOT a race and we will be using the soon-to-be-launched Northern Loop park connector. The highest amount from a single donor was $5,000; I was floored.

Samples from some donors thus far
Jok Kwang. I’m in the US. If about Ride, I’ll try to make it. Either way, I’ll donate $3k. Hope this helps (SMS message)
Dear Jok Kwang,
Great to hear you are organizing another charity ride. I hope to join you…my foot is recovering from major surgery and if it cooperates I will be there. If not, I will certainly make a donation.
Hi Jok Kwang,
Glad that you are doing it again and with good cause. Tell Wai Leng that as usual I will support you in this event. I am in London now.
Hi Jok Kwang
Thank you. I will contribute $5,000.
Best regards
Hi Jok Kwang,
Sorry for the late reply. I am in US now.I will not be able to participate in your Charity ride on 14 Nov as I have to host an event for Commchest on that day. Nevertheless, I am pleased to support your event with a $1,000 cash.
Dear Jok Kwang
I have mailed a cheque for $2,000.00 already. Hope you reach your target of $50,000.00.
Hi Jok Kwang
I plan to donate $ 500, never get round to doing it because I have been travelling these 2 weeks.
Will do so by this week. What is the total distance?
Hi Jok Kwang,
You will receive a cheque of $300 in the next few days.I will try to join the charity cycle…but first I have to buy a bicycle and accessories!
Hi Jok Kwang,
I will be in New York during that period. I would like to donate $1,000 to the cause. Hope to catch up some time.
Hi
Well done on your fund raising efforts! I can chip in $500 for this.Keep it up!
Hi Jok Kwang,
I wished i can join in the cycling (though i am not a good cyclist). Hahaha, true friends will be there for you regardless of the event.. Will do so in donation and also spread the words around.
Dear JK,
I bet to differ that you’ll hv a friends for what you’re doing. I appreciate your following up. This’s one small way I can contribute even if I can’t participate.
Hi Jok Kwang,
I cannot even get on a bike – it may just topple on me. Sorry, really cannot participate by riding a bike in your event.May I do a passive contribution of a modest $500?
Dear JK,
I will donate my usual SGD500, and will try to top up by passing the bowl around. Will keep you updated. God bless.
A chance to bid for some good
Strangely, help comes in different forms. More recently, 2 bicycle companies stepped forward, (Treknology Bikes and Speedmatrix Depot) donated total of 3 bicycles. These are up for grab! Highest bidders get to keep bike in each category and again all proceeds shall go towards charity.
