GEORGE TOWN: The Apex Club of Penang held its 40th anniversary celebrations at the Vistana Hotel in Bayan Baru here recently.

Hundreds of Apexians from the local clubs, Singapore and the Philippines attended the function. They were also joined by residents from charity homes.

Apex Club of Penang president Jason Ang said the club had many ongoing projects.


"In the past, we gave annual bursaries to needy students. In the near future, we will be giving study aid from our Apex Penang Education Fund to undergraduates," he added.

Ang said it would take many fund-raising projects to achieve the club's target of RM60,000 to kick-start the education fund.

"The charity Mount Kinabalu Climbathon in February this year was just one such project," he said.


Guest-of-honour was Penang Health and Welfare, Caring Society and Environment Committee chairman Phee Boon Poh.

Among the activities for the night were the climbathon cheque presentation, presentation of souvenirs to Apex Club of Penang's past presidents and an anniversary cake-cutting ceremony.

Some club members took home lucky draw prizes.


Guests were entertained by Steel Guitars group and singer, Teoh Gini.

Also present were fund-raising and function's organising chairman Edward Mai and National Association of Apex Clubs of Malaysia's national president G.N. Nair and BH Electronics Sdn Bhd operations director Ken Cheah. -- By Danny Ooi

6 (six) PRINCIPLES OF LIFE

  • 1) No point using limited life to chase unlimited money.
  • 2) No point earning so much money you cannot live to spend it.
  • 3) Money is not yours until you spend it.
  • 4) When you are young, you use your health to chase your wealth; when you are old, you use your wealth to buy back your health. Difference is that, it is too late.
  • 5) How happy a man is, is not how much he has but how little he needs.
6) No point working so hard to provide for the people you have no time to spend with.


I Believe....
That just because two people argue, that
doesn't mean they don't love each other.
And just because they don't argue, that
doesn't mean they do love each other.


I Believe...
That sometimes when I'm angry

I have the right to be angry,
but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.


I Believe...
That we don't have to change friends

if we understand that friends change.

I Believe...
That no matter how good a friend is,

they're going to hurt you every once in a while

and you must forgive them for that.

I Believe...
That true friendship continues to grow,

even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.


I Believe...
That you can do something in an instant
that will give you heartache for life.


I Believe...
That it's taking me a long time
to become the person I want to be.


I Believe...
That you should always leave loved ones

with loving words.

It may be the last time you see them.

I Believe...
That you can keep going long after you think you can't.


I Believe...
That we are responsible for what we do,

no matter how we feel.

I Believe...
That either you control your attitude or it controls you.


I Believe...
That heroes are the people who do what has to be done,

when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I Believe...
That money is a lousy way of keeping score.


I Believe....
That my best friend and I can do anything, or nothing,

and have the best time.

I Believe...
That sometimes the people you expect to kick you,
when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.


I Believe...
That maturity has more to do with

what types of experiences you've had,
and what you've learned from them...

and less to do with how many
birthdays you've celebrated.


I Believe...
That it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I Believe...
That no matter how bad your heart is broken

the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I Believe...
That our background and circumstances

may have influenced who we are,
but we are responsible for who we become.


I Believe...
That you shouldn't be so eager to find
out a secret.

It could change your life forever.

I Believe....
Two people can look at the exact same
thing and see something totally different.


I Believe...
That your life can be changed in a matter of
hours by people who don't even know you.


I Believe...
That even when you think you have no more to give,

if a friend cries out to you..

you will find the strength to help.

I Believe...
That credentials on the wall

do not make you a decent human being.

I Believe...
That the people you care about most in life

are taken from you too soon..


The happiest of people don't necessarily

have the best of everything;
They just make the most of everything.
