2007
 

Hi! Do you like our new design? Well, this design was suggested by TC Shew. She as well as a few others has been commenting that the old design was rather cluttered and unattractive. So, I asked her if she would like to design a new one and here it is. She designed the skeleton and I laboured at filling in all the details, having to understand the structure and how I could make continuous editing and updating. Finally,  here we are with our new design - definitely a far cry from when I first  started this website.

We are at that time of the year where our activities take off. Last year's Guitar Alive, a students' ensemble concert, was very successful and we will have Guitar Alive 2007 on 8 July. The 9th Guitar Camp 2007 will be on 23-25 November.

I would to invite our international guests visiting this website to consider taking part in our 9th Guitar Camp 2007. It will surely be an event that you will have no regrets taking part in.  Besides attending our camp, it is also an opportunity to visit Malaysia for two very good reasons: it is Malaysia's 50th year of independence and Malaysia is celebrating Visit Malaysia Year 2007. Include a tour of our fascinating country with our 3 day-2 night camp up on a hillside resort, it is a steal! See our fascinating sights, , our heritage, the various cultures while sampling our gracious hospitality...

This year is the 15th year since the Society's registration -

 HAPPY 15th ANNIVERSARY!
