Visiting sick people in the hospital : This will not happen so soon , because our committee members has to do research on how it is actually done. We dont want to see sick people and annoy them. We will soon find out about the process and standard practice of visiting them and the dos and donts when visiting.

Why? We know we are all not angels. Simply because we are humans.
Guilts and wrong doings happen regularly in our lives . Why not balance it back with some act of goodness that will not just help the party being help but also help ourselves fine peace in ourselves.

How do we plan to be different ? We dont , we plan to follow the standart practice of how it is usually been done. We will search for the best practice of visiting sick people and imitate that .

Visiting Extreme poverty areas in Malaysia : This will come later , when we are more established and have more numbers in our groups

Why we do this?: many of us are spoilt comfortable , not born with a silver spoon way in our throats but nevertheless never experienced hunger , sickness and no money to be taken care of and sacrficed the oppurtunity to seek education due to lack of money. We would want to educate ourselves , be aware that there are many more Malaysians less lucky for that. Although the best way to help the poor is not be one of them , correct but we have to be aware of our surroundings and realise serious matters that happens in this world.

How do we plan to be different? : We have yet to think about this. :p


Plans for the future : Associate with professional psychologists or students taking psychology to educate us on Depression , emotional issues and stress managements.

Draft of Activities for COMMUNITY.

Volunteering : First of all , we are now creating a database for volunteers.


Why ? : Few years back me and many of my friends wanted to give help to other people. We can help in many forms , teach , listen , coach and many more. Those days we fail to find a solution. One of the many reasons there are :
1) There were not many volunteer base associations here in KL ( those days, or we are unaware of)
2) We found a few but we feel that the expectations from volunteers exceed the willingness of commitment we want to give.
3) It is not flexible. For example a person might prefer to help people to quit smoking but he might no prefer to give his old things to other people or to participate to clean anything or to recycle.

How we are different ?
1)We welcome EVERYONE to join us : ) . We will create a database of Volunteers , whoever wants to join , drop us and email , saying u want to join and we will reply with a TTDI Volunteer Groups invitation. Make sure you register correctly , its a bit tricky here.
2)We have no expectations , we know we are mere Volunteers. We volunteer when we want to , when we are free when feel like it. We volunteer in events that suit to our preference. We TOTALLY understand this. How we work is we will inform on Volunteers in our database , if you want to participate just reply if not , just dont. easy right? : )
3)We also do cross volunteering , let say UNICEF , MAKNA , Company Cap Ayam wants us to help them with their activities , just drop us an email explaining the event . We will respond to accept or decline. If We accept and provide you with volunteers the catch is you have to reciprocate and provide us with volunteers for our events. This is to get connected to other Volunteer Spirit and get the act of volunteering spread .

Social Activites : barbecue , treasure hunt , ice breaking sessions between
volunteers , outdoor cinema (using projector only , ok whaaaat), night treasure hunt (an expert on this is actually Mr Ashaari Rahmat .

Why we do this ? This is to get to know more people , the more people you interact with the wiser you be because you have to understand about different characters , you have to know more to be able to chat with other people , you have to be more courteous because different level regard different things as rude so you have to know not to do anything that could be regarded as rude and also who wants to be alone.

How do we plan to be different? It is a secret , we dont want to spoil it . ahah!

Draft of Activities for SPORTS.

Volunteer t-shirt for boys (red)
Sports :
Futsal - How we plan to do this , is to gather and collect all the teams in ttdi and play at a Futsal Centre . All friendly games , we play to relax , hang out and have fun.

Why do this? This is to connect the youth of TTDI , you make friends and be connected usually while having experiences together , and knowing about each other , by playing futsal you roughly can find out a lot about the other person. We choose this sport because it is popular , It makes you sweat like crazy and one of the easiest way to interact deeper in a short period of time.

How do we plan to be different? Have you seen hundreds of friends come at once and play at a Futsal Centre. I mean playing for fun not a competition . When we reach our goal , you just get to see that. : )


Walkathon - How we plan to do this is , We plan to do it at Bukit Kiara because it is challenging and Taman Tun people likes it.It takes 1 hour to finish the 5km route uphill.Brisk walking is very good for your health . The medium pace works out your heart , makes you sweat and streghten your joints. You can also exercise and chat with friends at the same time.


Why do this - Bukit Kiara has a very nice route , medium Challenge ,
suitable for many . We feel why waste it , make full use of it.

How do we plan to be different? We will organise a Walkathon soon , a Walkathon Challenge. We will provide certificates , drinks and medals for winners. You will see banners everywhere advertising this.

Badminton - Its one of the few sports that has brought eyes of the world to us . Thanks to the Sidek's family , Dato' Lee Chong Wei and many more.
We dont plan to cultivate another Olympian , what we plan is to use the multi purpose hall. Many of us wants to play but not enough people to play with . With the busy lifestyle we have now , its hard to commit to a badminton game once a week.

Why do this - Its fun , you dont need a team , it keeps you agile , it keeps your reflects quick and we has already build a good badminton court in TTDI.

How do we plan to be different - We will book certain days in a month
to organise for everyone of TTDI to come and play.

All these games , girls can come and play too. Hey , who doesnt believe in equality among genders? Definitely not us. : )

We are now doing a short research to ask around what popular sport that girls like to do. We will choose a few sports according to the demand that we receive from young women of TTDI.

Come Together!

For many of the young folks in Taman Tun Dr. Ismail, we went to the same schools, played at that same field and practically grew up together. Taman Tun is practicaly OUR "kampung", the place where most of us first encountered the challanges of life, the grounds where we made our first friends (who have in many cases lasted through all these years) and to more than just a few, and to more than just a few, one of the top choices of places where we'd want to settle down (if ever we decide to at least)

This blog is an attempt by youths of TTDI to connect to other youths out there who misses that sense of community and want to bring that back. Its for those out there who want to make something out of their "kampung". Its for those youth out there seeking to connect, share ideas, and do something!

The Residents Association of TTDI (TTDI-RA)have had a Youth & Sports Committee for quite some time now, but then we have hardly heard anything from that. It's time for all that to change.

The TTDI-RA is a platform of support for us youth to come together and synergise, do something for our community, do something for ourselves! We aim to do HUGE things and we want YOU to be with us!

There's a lot of ideas bouncing around right now, but we want to hear from YOU, the youth of Tamann Tun. We want to know how you feel about the community these days and what you think we can all do together to make things AWESOME!

Keep tabs on this blog, we'll be updating on youth oriented community activities from time to time. Send in your seggestions either through comments or e-mail us at ttdi.youth@gmail.com
