Pictures from Jungle Jam II

Finally, here'r the pictures from our Jungle Jam 2 in Melaka on August 31, 2007. All the photos were creatively captured and everyone couldn't have looked any better! This short photo video indeed enthralled the jazzy moody and the chill-out atmosphere of the night!

Here it goes ...



Of course the key people that made this event happened:

Sie Lau, organizer/fund-raiser



Grace, jazz guru



Gary, that played the bongos, djembe AND guitar!



Adam, the pianist and Melaka's chief cook



Shan, that owns Melaka!



...together with Andre Walker



I would like to send my personal thanks to all of these people: Big sweet smile! Ulu Gange (organizer/fund-raiser/social butterfly)



Of course there is a monumental picture of all ...


Andre, Ulu Gange, Phil Briscoe (Councillor) and Grace Dee.

Hopefully this picture would bring in more donation once it is published in the local paper in Blackwall & Cubitt Town (near the docklands) where Phil represents.

If you are interested or anyone that you think might be interested in donating for this cause, please feel free to drop me an email at ulugange@gmail.com and I would be more than happy to meet up to explain in details on how it works.

What a blast on Friday at Melaka ... again!

Just wanna thank all that show up at Melaka on this past Friday! For the Jungle jam veterans, a zillion thanks for bringing your friends to the event. For those that I met for the first time, it is great to have met you on Friday. I cant be more grateful for all the generous contribution! The event won't have been a success without the presence and support of these wonderful people!

Turnout was great as there was plenty of new faces, not forgetting the faithful supporters! The buffet spread was splendid, service was efficient and tip-toped! Most importantly jazz was incomparable! Awesome can only modest word to describe it! Despite a cold and mild fever, Grace was still able to pull it off without a hint of huskiness. Gerry and Adam was smooth with the instruments, as if they were born with it!

As usual, Lau was our cameraman, busily taking pictures of all our guests that night. All the pictures are posted up on Facebook. But I would be posting some here in the next couple of days.

But the culmination of the event is when Andre introduced me to the Councillor Phil Briscoe to gain support from the local council on this event, in term of publicity and hopefully donations! We even took a picture! (I'll post it up soon!)

It was a exhilarating feeling, organizing such event. I really enjoyed mingling and socializing with the guests, advocating about Orang Utan conservation. It is rewarding too, when I get feedback from many that think greatly of such conservation. It only inspires me to be more zealous about my future fund-raising effort!
