Rotary E-Club

Entire E-Club and I

This is a special club, it is an E-club, which means they only meet physically once a month the rest all happens over the internet. This was probably the nicest club I have visited. They were very enjoyable, maybe part of it was the Christmas spirit and the fact that they were having a wine tasting that night but they were very nice to me all the same.

Thank you E-Club for being such a fun club.

Rotary Club of Garden City

This club was the last club Jan and I both presented at this year. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures. I will post them if I get any from the club members.

This is a Chinese speaking club. No I didn't give the speech in Chinese that would have been well impossible for me as I really don't speak enough to even order food.

They were a very nice club though and sat us in the front in a special position. Also of note is that they have a club song. I wish I would have gotten a recording of it for you all, and I tried finding it on Youtube with no luck.

Thank you Rotary club of Garden City.

Rotary Club of Singapore West

Jan, President Stephon Lim Thuan Kiang, and I

Singapore West was way far away and Jan and I had to travel by bus for an hour to get there. They were a very nice club and my host was able to come for the speech as well.

Thanks Singapore West.

Jan with the banner

Jan and I arrived late at this club as it was my first day of class and we had a hard time finding a taxi. If I were keeping track which I am not of course this club had some of the best food yet. However, Marina City is a close second.

Thank you Singapore East for having has and being understanding.

Langkawi Malaysia

Langkawi is a small island off the the west coast of Malaysia. It offers beach, jungle treking, island hopping, and a nice get away from the city.When Matthew came to visit me we took a trip to Langkawi for 4 days. When we arrived there it was raining and after almost having missed our flight we were just glad to be there.

Rotary Club of Bugis Junction

Today I got up very early to present at my host Rotary club: Bugis Junction. I had to get up very early to go. It was really hard and I kept telling myself, Bacon, Bacon and as I chanted bacon the sun rose and I made it to the meeting.

Me and Rotary Club of Bugis Junction

I gave my speech and then after another short speech they handed out Paul Harris Fellow recognitions. The picture is of me with my rotary banner, and them with their recognitions. They say it is their donations (to Paul Harris fund) to causes like that they let me study. I thank them and my home club for helping me study in Singapore.

President Nelson and me

They saved the trading of banners until the end of the day. I gave them mine but the hotel which they met in had miss placed theirs so they said next time they would give me one. My host could not make it to the meeting so he is not pictured.


Thank you Rotary Club of Bugis Junction for hosting me while I am in Singapore.
