Miracle 2008 - Appreciation Dinner!

It's been quite sometime since the last time the blog was updated, but we are happy to announce that we do have a new entry!

In case you weren't aware, this year, the Miracle 2008 event broke records of all sorts. First, we smashed last year's collection by not once, not twice but nearly 4.5 times the collection of Miracle 2007!

Together, with the RUSH teams and the general public, we managed to raise an unexpected RM 90,000!

And of that amount, more than 70% of it came from all the 7 RUSH teams!

*applause for all the 7 hardworking RUSH teams!*

To show their gratitude and appreciation for the hardwork of the RUSH teams, the nice peeps at Fitness First decide to host an Appreciation Dinner for all the RUSH teams. Team leaders received emails from Alvin Looi, informing about a dinner get-together at Screaming Bananas at Phileo Damansara.

The dinner was held on Friday, 25th July. Unfortunately, all of my teammates were not able to make it (all the Thorns were attending a special karaoke session in Sunway at 8pm) and Nat was holiday-ing in Krabi. But since the venue of the restaurant is just next to my office, I decided to pop-by for a short while before heading over to join the rest of the gang for our "White Theme" karaoke night at Red Box Sunway.

But it didn't stop the Thorns from having our little own celebration over at RedBox Sunway Pyramid that night!

With this entry, it marks the conclusion of this blog - My team would like to take the opportunity to thank the organising committee of Miracle 2008 for a job well done!

We'd also like to thank all of our dearest friends, supporters and family for all their help, support and love in making our journey a most memorable one! We couldn't have done it without you all!

(Pls get a copy of the FF Newsletter for the month of August from your nearest FF branch! You're probably in it!)

And also, see you all at Miracle 2009!
