How it all Started.

The 1st time I got my Postal Order was exactly 1 week later. It was for Rm30/-.
I was so excited AND to tell you the Truth, scared. This was the 1st time in 54yrs of my Life I would go to a post office to cash a POSTAL ORDER, from a not so popular scheme ! Can you imagine how I felt when it worked ? Well, at least now I know how a virgin feels on her 1st night. I had managed to recruit a friend whom I thought could do with some extra cash. His name was Wong Joo Khim. He thought deeply , it happened to be his 50th Birthday, and he wanted a fresh start in finances.
The next person I talked to was my dear sister-in-law, Rachel. She takes the cake. She did not blink , came straight in and 1 week later was in Kota Kinabalu starting her own similar project for charity !
The next person I managed to recruit was my good friend in Church, Prince Raj. He is a businessman, a salesman and a holy man. After 1 hour of grilling me he took his hard earned Rm119.50/- and put it on the table. The next day he recruited his darling wife, Julie.
Next came into the scene was my sms pal from Kota Kinabalu, Prisca Totu. She is a well known executive in Yayasan Sabah, with a Masters Degree and a MBA Degree to support it. Best in her public relations capacity. She got the idea, visited the Website, phoned Mr.M.P. Raja , clarified her doubts and sent me Rm119.50/- and ordered me to do the necessary to put her name in.
Now I am getting excited and my mother living with me senses the excitement and hands me Rm120/- to do the necessary. She is 84 years old !
Next I, meet Mr. John an acquaintance in church , working in TNB, after 1 week of pondering - joins. I put him under my mother so that mum can get some over-riding.
Next - My good friend of 35 years Raveendran Nadarajah, a Chartered accountant, and a Unit Trust Consultant and father of 2 University Bound children, makes a few professional probes and then puts down his Rm120/- and purchases the Postal Orders from me at cost. I put him under Wong Joo Khim.
These 8 people gave me the beginer's inspiration to KEEP GOING. . If they could see it, there must be Rm1,000,000/- in there - PROVIDED I DO NOT GIVE UP !
