Raising RM5000 - are you our next swapper?

by FH2o on May 11, 2006

I received this in the mailbox after lunch yesterday. It has been a while since I received a handwritten stamped envelope from overseas. Can I say that the feeling is nostalgic?

My other half used to be in the UK while I was thousand of miles away down under as university student and I get goose-bumps whenever I hear the postman (his name is Lenny) coming (he whistles and sings along; even louder during the festive seasons as he would be almost totally sloshed!) and I would be there waiting for my love letters from the UK. I am digressing.

Anyway SISUAHLAI is trying to raise RM5,000/- for the National Cancer Society and Sarawak Children’s Cancer Society. The following from Sisuahlai is self-explanatory.

Let’s do something good for the People. Laughters alone won’t feed the needy. Have you heard about the guy who swapped a red paperclip for a house? Completely pointless, but he succeeded nonetheless. Let’s do something similar among us- bloggers and blog-readers in Sarawak, Malaysia and All Over The World…

I want to raise RM5000 for the National Cancer Society and Sarawak Children’s Cancer Society. How? By doing series of swaps and trades for bigger and higher value things, until a target sum of RM5000 is achieved. I will start by trading a rare 1869 James Brooke for your item…

The Swapping Story So far…
Francis was the first person to swap. I have sent him a rare 1869 James Brooke stamp in exchange for a “Personalised Irrawaddy Dolphin Watching Trip with FH2o”. So my current item up for swap is this kayaking experience. This is a genuine offer. Do you wanna spend a day kayaking with the guru, Francis, alongside dolphins?

Please send in your offer to sisuahlai@googlemail.com.

Are you in?

So are you? What’s your swap for my Kayaking Trip? I could even throw in 2 trips - the Dolphins Watching as well as the Rainforest Kayak Adventure Trip. What say you?

Ah Bengs, Ah Sengs, Ah Lians, Ah Huas are also most welcomed! This is a judgmental but ‘inclusive-non-discriminatory’ site!

Happy Vesak Day.

Francis, I’m glad that you finally receive the mail. Let’s hope that this swapping project will slowly gain momentum. Let’s make this a blogosphere success! Thanks for this entry and thanks for your part. Sisuahlai.

Hmm…is there a market for swapping kidneys? I can spare two!

FH2O May 13, 2006 at 5:54 pm

mm - u’d better be kidding before someone takes up on your offer!

Robin May 14, 2006 at 9:20 pm

I need Kidney!!!

I will swap Gucci for them!

Happysurfer May 15, 2006 at 1:30 am

Gucci bags or Gucci shoes or Gucci the pooch?

Are you guys serious? You’re scaring me.

FH2O May 15, 2006 at 2:02 am

happy - mm and robin’s comments are not very helpful! *piak, piak, PIAK!*

SSL is trying to raise this fund for charity. I hope that someone would do the swap with the kayak trips soon.

Anyone? This is for a good cause.

Ah Beng May 17, 2006 at 10:13 am

This “dirt” has pledged a small RM100 towards the fund…. Surely the high flyers can do better instead of making silly comments! Sisuahlai… I am rooting for you. :)

FH2O May 17, 2006 at 8:24 pm

TQ Ah Beng for doing your bit. SSL would be delighted.
