Merry Christmas from all at TOC!

On the 17th of December, TOC held a Christmas party for all its staff members. The night was filled with lots of fun, songs and very good food!
As a treat to the staff for all the hard work they have put in, TOC's Board of Directors sponsored 2 whole (very yummy) roast lambs.
Games were also played that night, with prizes to be won!Some of the games include: Charades, "Stop-Dance" and also poison box, which featured the many hidden talents some of our staff have - some wicked dance moves and Malaysian Idol worthy voice.=)
The training department also put up an excellent performance!Entertaining us with a medley of Christmas songs in different languages.
The highlight of the night was this year's gift giving session =) Instead of the usual gift exchange between staff, this year, we have gone to the roots of the true Christmas spirit!The spirit of giving..

This year, what TOC staff did was to donate Christmas presents to charity, to an orphanage in Klang called "Good Samaritan Home".
Representatives of the different departments from TOC went to the home, bringing along with them the gifts and donations collected over the previous week. Some staff even dressed up to the occasion by wearing Santa hats! One of our trainers also brought a guitar, to rock up a little performance for the children =)
The children enjoyed themselves, dancing and singing along to the Christmas carols.
It was a nice day out, seeing the children laugh and run around, having fun. Thank you to all staff for making this event possible, from donating gifts and necessities to these children in need. Thank you all for taking time off your busy schedules to visit these children, hopefully making this Christmas an especially memorable one.
Thank you all once again!We hope you all had a good Christmas celebration!!

Good Samaritan Home is an orphanage located in Klang, founded in January 1999, taking in children who come from families where parents have abandoned them, or where a parent is unable to cope with divorce, or where the child has lost one or both parents. (source)

KLIMS 2010

The Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show 2010 was held at Putra World Trade Centre earlier this month from the 3rd till the 12th of December.
TOC organised an outing to this year's KLIMS, giving out free tickets to students. We all gathered at PWTC before separating into several groups to enter the show.
Overall the event was a success, everyone was introduced to a variety of different cars from many different car brands (and not to mention motorshow girls!).

and of course the main attraction of the show......
The one and only Bumblebee!!=D

We would like to thank all the staff and students for making the event possible! =) We hope that everyone enjoyed their day at KLIMS and looking forward to the next event already..
