MNRA Newsletter - 2015 Dec

MNRA Malacca welcomes Wee Kim Lan for lunch
 A few phone calls, whatsapping and voila, Malacca Chairman Tee Tiong Chye
organized a lunch at LTP Restaurant on Sat 22nd November. It was really good
catching up with all especially  withTan Sai Hong who I used to work with when I
was RSM in JB many years ago.

Jenny Lee, our lady golfer champion together with Wee Kim Lan who came back from Melbourne for holidays, Foo Jong Ping, Lim Kee Yong, Patrick Khoo, Seet Lay Kim ,
Lau Phaih Yean and Mr Ngim Khek Ding (ex GIBU sales supervisor) were all in good health and shape….perhaps a few were hard on hearing so we had to talk louder.
Thanks for the good food and get-together, Mr TTC and friends.

 

MNRA Malacca- great to catch up on old times

CCK travels with BMW- T series to attend MNRA JB get-together.


Nothing could stop Turkey Chan aka CCK to attend JB MNRA Luncheon on 29th Nov 2014,
organised at the poolside of Sri Mutiara Apartments where ChairmanYeap Swee Lin stays.

From Singapore across to JB, it took him 3+ hours  with his BMW- T series….in Singapore,
it  means Bus, MRT, Walk and if necessary take Taxi. It was all worth it and a good experience.
A brief medical check was  done by Dr Thomas for all 16 Retirees.
Most were happy with their blood pressure and sugar levels. On the BMI side, some were on the high side and were asked to exercise a bit more. Well done Johore Chapter for the initiative - first of its kind done for MNRA functions.


Our most senior member is Mr Goon at 78 years followed by Mr Seah at 76 years with
8 grandchildren. Mdm  Chua comes next at 70 years and then CCK.  All looking good and healthy.
The younger ones in their fifties and sixties are Gan Sin Hock, Chuah, Hanim, Kee Lek King, and Kadar who is now the Secretary of the Segamat Golf Club.
Our topics were mostly on health and life in the south, Singapore and of course rising costs of living these days.

When the lunch ended at 4.30pm, it was sad to leave but all enjoyed themselves .
Wishing all Merry Xmas and Happy New Year………from CCK.

                                   The all fit and health Retirees in JB – Nov 2014
 
MNRA Northern Chapter elects new Chairman and Secretary

Northern Chapter held the Get-together for year end 2014 and welcoming 2015 on 14th Dec
at Safira Country Club , Bandar Seberang Jaya. Members from Kedah, Perak and Penang
filled the three tables sit down luncheon. Members like Jeffery Teh & Ang Kim Sai from Ipoh
were at Safira as early at 10.30am to meet up fellow Retirees. Many were seen asking about other Retirees who were not present. After knowing that they are not MNRA members, they committed to try to get them sign up as members. (eg. like Lim Hui Kok (SP); Tan Ping Seng (AS);Tan Chow Tan (P Buntar). As Northern Region have over 100 Retirees. All agreed to get more Retirees to sign up as members. Thumbs up for their efforts.

On behalf of MNRA, we wish to acknowledge and thank them for their commitment and effort in promoting the Association and in carrying out their duties.

MNRA Newsletter - 2014 Nov

10^th  November 2014

Dear Members

In recent months, we had droughts and water rationing in certain areas of Malaysia, followed by the haze causing sore throats and coughs amongst many of us. I hope the daily downpours will help alleviate our water levels at the dams. But ensure that you have clean compounds and not leave stagnant water around which can breed Aedes mosquitoes. Dengue has been rampant of late.

Activities held

The unpredictable weather made it hard for us to plan outdoor activities But we managed to hold a couple of events in the last quarter.

1.  MNRA Bowl for Fun Carnival- 24^th August at Sunway Mega Lanes

Last year we had overwhelming response for this event and  it was no different last August. A total of 18 teams (vs 15  last year) participated. A fun- filled day for Members and their families, plus some Nestlé employees who formed their own teams. No winners, no losers and all joined in the cheering as they hit a strike, disappointed when the ball rolled into the drain, etc. These were all memories which we will always remember for a long time…. at our age, we can still bowl for fun.

Can you see the familiar faces from last year?

Ekkehard van Leemputten aimed for a strike while Mrs Leong Poh Goek had quite a unique style.

The family team from youngest to the oldest.

It is anticipated that we shall be having another one next year and we hope that more Members will participate with their families.

2.    MNRA Kuching Local Chapter – 6^th September 2014

It seemed like we got together only a few months ago. But actually, when we arranged to have a lunch, it fell on 6^th Sept 2014, one day before the end of our first anniversary. It was so timely as we celebrated MNRA Kuching Local Chapter 2^nd year going forward.

Thanks to Raymond and Laurence, we rounded up about 20 people and even invited an old friend of Nestlé , Cheam Moi Fah, who used to work as our MAGGI Demonstrator in Kuching. Ah Moi as she is fondly known by all Nestlé employees in Sarawak was key in helping us drive MAGGI products especially in Kuching. She was so pleased to join us . It was nice to see Jennifer Wong from Sibu, Mary Liew and Catherine Cheng from Kuching – their first time .

MNRA Committee Member
1. Ms Leong Ming Chee

Mr.Raymond Teo welcomed all present. This was the first get-together for 2014 with a few members attending for the first time, namely Mrs Jennifer Wong, Ms Catherine Cheng and Ms Mary Liew.
It was also good to see some children accompanying their parent for this occasion. Mr Raymond Teo also invited Ms Chiam Moi Fah fondly known as Ah Moi, who used to work as our MAGGI demonstrator in Kuching .

Following the 1st inaugural meeting last 7th Sept 2013, the issues which were brought up were resolved. These were mostly on staff purchase, Nestle Retiree card, The Nestle Edge.

However, we still have not found a solution for Sibu and MIri where there are no staff shops.
The Kuching Retirees also mentioned that there is stock shortage of NESCAFE 3 in 1 and NESTLE Omega Plus in the staff shop. They also advised that allocation on products – allowed to buy 6 cans only.

Ms Leong said she will bring this up to the Kuching Factory Manager as we had the same issue in Shah Alam and this allocation was lifted for the Retirees.

It was indeed a happy occasion for all who attended. Mr. Raymond Teo with his right hand men (Laurence, Salleh and Victor) managed to secure some Nestle products and goodies from Harrisons/Vincent Chong. We had MILO, Nestle Breakfast Cereals, MAGGI Noodles;  from Vincent Chong we had MUFC Sarawak Laksa paste and Chicken Curry Paste while Harrisions donated Wise chips, Glico and Wine.


Many thanks to Raymond and Team for the fantastic organization. They always do it with style –the Kuching way.

eh Raymond...smile la

oh...what's this??

where are the food, how ngor liou (in hakka= very hungry)

one of the lucky fello.....

MNRA Bowl for Fun Carnival - Sunday 24 Aug 2014

It did not matter if the scores were low or balls rolled into gutters never to see the light of day of the bowling pins. What mattered most was all 18 teams had a ball of time at the MNRA Bowling Carnival held at the Sunway Mega Lanes, Sunway Pyramid on Sunday, 24th Aug 2014.
 
It was wonderful to see a bigger response this year ie 18 teams vis a vis 15 teams last year. A good sign for the future. Many have indicated looking forward and not wanting to miss this carnival next year.

good STRIKE.....

So much joy.. so much laughter ..so much fun …so much camaraderie and fellowship in the true Nestle spirit amongst bowlers in all shapes, sizes and age groups- young ,old and very old.

To us in MNRA there were no winners or losers .All who took part were winners in celebrating the Nestle spirit in this MNRA Bowl for Fun Carnival 2014.

So many prizes and lucky draws were won that almost every bowler returned home with something.        
The prize we in MNRA took home was most invaluable and the best  - the pleasant memories that we will cherish for a long time.

Our special thanks to MILO , Nestle Breakfast Cereals, Active Ad, Eternal Trophies, Sunway Mega Lanes  and SportsUnite for their sponsorship without which we in MNRA would not have been  able to organize this carnival successfully.



The Champion Team, MNRA Bowl 2014

Team Sawari bin Samsuri emerged champions with a 1422 pinfalls over 8 games with an average of 178 pinfalls per game.

Keep those balls rolling as we plan another enjoyable carnival come 2015.

Gaya ada..aha aha I like it.....

Mama says ...just go straight  my baby go....

Starting him young...

 

 

Enjoy the food.. and lets meet again in 2015!
