wREGA Anniversary dinner



The rare hand-stenciled logo was meticulously hand crafted on the cake by Koh himself ( talking about a dying art Koh.) 


On Friday 16 December 2008, wREGA celebrated its 8th Anniversary in a local Cafe in Phileo Damansara. I think this was one of the very few rare occassions where the Association celebrated an event of this sort. It was a very quiet affair attended by about 10 existing and newly joined members.

The Association could well be more than 8 years old considering the fact that it was first registered as a Selangor Chapter before it was re-registered as the official Graphic Design Association of Malaysia.

It was 10 years ago, where 7 of us designers  got together for the first time in a small cafe in Sri Hartamas and initiated this Association. Now if I can recall it was Me , Melissa Wong, William Harald Wong and a few others (damn can't really recall who the rest). Man, thats how long it was, and to think this was part of a design history. Got to do some research soon.

Anyway, the same question year in and year out that comes to mind - 'relevance of the Association with the times'


Past President Melissa Wong, current president Koh and past president Ken Tan cutting the anniversary cake specially bake by Mrs Koh. 

Among the attendees, Jay, Gina, Debbie, Kenneth Lam, Pooi to name a few.

Happy birthday wREGA .
