CHAP GOH MEH CELEBRATION【元宵節慶團圓】

Date: 8th February 2009 (Sunday)
Venue: Playground at Acacia Puteri 7
Time: 8.00pm

The RA of Acacia Puteri 7 held its 1st community event ie. "Chap Goh Meh Celebration" and "Sharing Best Food & Win Contest" . Our RA Secretary, Jacky was the MC for the day in the absence of our Chairman who had a prior appointment.

We had 15 contestants taking part in the "Sharing Best Food & Win Contest". Among the food contested were jelly cake, dumplings, curry chicken, muruku, nasi lemak, fried chicken, fried meehoon, red bean soup, yam cake, layered cake, peanut porridge, jelly with santan, curry puffs, fish balls and sausages.

The contestants were judged through the Democratic process ie. polling by those residents who were present for this celebration. The Grand Prize winner was Mrs.Tai, whose fried chicken was very well received and the first dish to be completely "wiped" out. For her effort she received a Hamper and Angpow courtesy of the RA. The rest of the contestants received an Angpow each as a token of appreciation for their contribution to make this event successful.

Apart from the food and drinks, residents also brought along some CNY cookies, mandarin oranges, pomelos, beer, etc. to share at this gathering. During the celebration a few issues were also highlighted which includes the Fencing and Guardhouse Project, the contributions, Security fees collection, Dengue Fever and other minor issues.

The celebrations ended on a high note and some residents even suggested that the RA organise other events so as to foster good neighbourliness and friendship among the residents of Puteri 7. Frankly this celebration would not have been successful if not for the dedication of the RA Committee and the participation of the Residents living in Acacia Puteri 7, many thanks and wish everyone happiness and success for the Year 2009.
