Cleaning Of The Interact Room

Work began on cleaning the Interact Room on the 29th of August 2009, during the holiday break. Some among our Board of Directors, including our President, gathered at school at about 8.00a.m. and started tidying up without wasting any time.

All of them had to first empty out the old, unused and most probably spoilt documents, files, books, office equipment and other dusty rubbish from the area. The room had been used as a counseling room for extremely long time and our club was fortunate enough to be given the space.

Our interactors were efficient trying to make the room as neat as possible, carrying bits and pieces of trash out of there as well as shifting old furniture. Each of the possibly recyclable items were arranged accordingly outside the room so that they could be dealt with later whereas the rubbish was carefully packed into plastic bags and thrown away.

As for the status of the Interact Room, it still requires a lot of cleaning so the project remains in progress at the moment. With a few more helping hands from our fellow interactors, it is just a matter of time before we make the room not only a more comfortable place to be, but it will also look like new.

Car Wash for Co-Curriculum Day

Our Interact Club made a decision to set up a car-washing service in order to raise funds for the club on Co-Curriculum Day or ‘Hari Ko-Kurikulum’ which was held on the 4th of August 2009.

Before the day arrived, tickets were sold to teachers and students who desired their car to be washed at a remarkably reasonable price. Interactors who previously volunteered to contribute their assistance in the job came to school early that morning with the cleaning equipment they were instructed to bring along, from buckets and cloths to a vacuum.

The car wash began as soon as they were prepared to clean the cars parked at the school parking lot beside the hall. Vehicle after vehicle our interactors washed, and some vacuumed, until each and every one of the cars were as clean as a whistle. The determination and hard work of our interactors ensured that absolutely all the cars were done with by the end of Co-Curriculum Day.

They had tremendous fun while performing the task and it can honestly be said that almost all the customers were satisfied with the results, the spick and span condition of their vehicles when they arrived to pick them up.

"It was definitely well worth the time and energy spent by our fellow interactors..."

Farewell Party

Prescott Hotel was our venue of choice to hold our ‘Majlis Perpisahan’ on the 1st of August 2009 and what a fantastic evening it was. The purpose of this farewell party was to show our tremendous gratitude towards the Board of Directors of 08/09 for all the sacrifices, hard work and dedication that they have put into the Interact Club of High School Klang through the past year.

The dinner function commenced at about 6.00p.m. but quite a number of our current Board of Directors had already arrived there an hour or two before then in order to make final preparations. The rented ballroom was packed with a handful of senior interactors along with invited guests, all of which were either on time for the dinner or fashionably late.

Unfortunately, the teacher advisor of our Interact Club and the invited Rotarian advisors, our supposed guests of honour, were unable to attend our farewell party. The evening began with short speeches presented by both our current and past President of our Interact Club, Choo Kok Sang and Teh Chuan Hoong.

Soon after that, everybody exited the ballroom and into the hallway where a large buffet dinner awaited them. It could be seen from their facial expressions, while they were lining up at the buffet table holding their plates and cutlery, that they could not wait to sink their teeth into the variety of exquisite delicacies which laid before them.

From the main course to the desserts, it was without doubt a truly satisfying meal for those who were present that evening.Immediately after eating, some of our fellow interactors gladly volunteered themselves to perform on stage, namely singing and dancing. Absolutely everyone had an enjoyable time watching and taking photographs of the unique performances which was followed by a short souvenir giving ceremony.

Each of the current Board of Directors took their turns presenting the scented candles to their respective predecessors.The entertainment then continued for a while longer before the farewell party ended with shooting photographs of one another and also the entire group. It was definitely an evening to remember for every individual who attended and had wonderful fun.
