Perak Silver Girls Dream Team - I Just Found Out
 |
| Perak Silver Girls Dream Team in action ..coaches looking on |
Yes that’s what they call themselves. Though I found them on social media under the Penang Indian Football Club.
Saw them
yesterday evening training at the Ipoh Padang so I thought I’d give them a bit
of exposure. They’ve got a major tournament coming up soon or is it next month.
Don’t know if they are representing the state since they are very quiet about it but if you say PERAK DREAM TEAM and ALL GIRLS too well …… YAHOO!
They had
three coaches guiding them so this upcoming tournament sounds pretty important….I
figure. I can’t go so wrong.

Beauty Contests Those Days - 70's & 80's
 |
| Hot Pants ...... |
In the 70’s
and 80’s there were Beauty Contests held every now and then.
I recall the Jaycee’s
organising some and even the banks held a Miss NUBE contest and factories like
Carter Semiconductor having their own ‘contest’ during their annual function.
Beauty contest started from the teens , remember the Teen Princess. Was there a Miss Freshie Queen.

Whatever the event it was always a pleasant evening. I don’t remember the name of this event (above) i attended but it was pleasant to the eye as a novice photographer.

Chinese New Year Dishes a’la Hakka Cuisine
 |
| Authentic Hakka Chinese New Year dishes |
I had the pleasure of attending a Hakka presentation of Chinese New Year dishes several years back.
The event
took place before the New Year and was held at their Kaying Association
premises.
The
association ladies had prepared 8 auspicious and typically traditional Hakka
dishes and brought it to the association as part of their activities before the
arrival of the New Year.

I recall the chairwoman of the section, Madame Yip gave the reason for preparing these traditional Hakka dishes was to remind the next generation that these were ‘very traditional and specific to the Hakka community with the hope that it never becomes extinct’. The dishes were great though some I had never seen nor tasted of before.

Later the committee members showed up for judging and to partake of the feast. It was an eye opening event worth remembering.
