Confirmation camp 2010 @ Penang College General
Left PJ on Thursday morning. From the title it shows that i didn't go for a trip/holiday, but to a camp. There was 2 buses, and more than 80 people.
On the way to Penang, we stopped at Tapah rest area for some food. Those "kids" really know how to enjoy life, and c also know that they have the $$$, quite a few of them went to buy Baskin Robins, and its not single scoop, its AT LEAST double or more.... And i heard some1 said, not that expensive la, Haagen Daz cost more leh, and it taste better, i think Nestle or even other ice-creams they might just feed it to the dogs....
Its been a long time since i last went to Penang... this time, i can enjoy the views much more...
By the time we reach there, it was 2 something already, faster assign into the rooms, and had a quick lunch.
The first session was mainly breaking the ice, (surprising coz those people has been together for at least 2 years now), i guess its usual for camps.
The "routine" for this camp was Session, Eat, Play, Mix around... There was 6 "meals" aday including 2 breaks and supper.
I notice that this bunch of people do not mix much with the opposite sex, it was like PAS ruled that place for awhile, coz boys & girls each sat on one side.
God did work in his own wonders, coz for example, there was this girl whom i had wanted to get to know, and she WENT for the camp leh... on that morning, i was shock, coz didn't think she would still be in secondary school... Thought she in college already... anyway, i didn't manage to mingle with her much, coz i was with the others most of the time, (another reason is tat they r always around my fren, so prefer both of us split.)
On the second night, we had the inner healing session on top of the mountain in The chapel.
The Chapel was bulit in 1885, which makes it more than a Century old. so far 7 canonized Saints has prayed there. and more than 40 martyr have studied in Penang College General Major Seminary. 2 of them was Professor and French missionaries, While the other 5 saints are from Vietnam.
The inner healing session was to heal the hurts that has been accumulated inside us for years. It might not work immediately, but the pains might be lesser as time goes by.
After that healing session, was the Mass(started 10+PM) celebrated by Rev. Fr. Gerard Theraviam, who is the Dean of Studies.
On the third night/ final night of the camp, there was this session called "Let's have fun" night, where participents have a choice of joining either: Dance, Drama, Stomp, or Choir. Everybody who participated did their best, and all the performance was damn good...
This morning after breakfast, we had our final session, and quickily packed up and left the place. We headed to New World Park, which i think is near Gurney. We also pass the fame Gurney Drive, Northam Hotal, Penang White House, and of course BHL(now CIMB) Penang HQ.
The place that we stayed was Penang College General Major Seminary which is at Tanjung Bunga. It was such a nice and huge place. The scenery from atop the mountain, beside the Chapel is fabulous. One of the morning, i saw sunrise there. It was so near the sea, yet i didn't get to the beach, "So near yet so far"..
On our way back to KL, there was some accident, and i also saw a convoy of wedding car, all white in colour comprising Toyota Estima(main car) followed by Vios, Camry(s), BMW 3 series.

What's in your backpack? (from Up In The Air)
How much does your life weigh?
Imagine for a second that you're carrying a backpack.
I want you to feel the straps on your shoulders. Feel them?
I want you to pack it with all the stuff that you have in your life.
You start with the little things.
Things on shelves, in the drawers, the knickknacks, collectibles.
Feel the weight it all adds up.
Then you start adding larger stuff.
Clothes, tabletop appliances, lamps, linens, your TV.
The backpack should be getting pretty heavy now.
You go bigger.
Your couch, your bed, your kitchen table, stuff it all in there.
Your car, get it in there.
Your home, whether it's a studio apartment or a two-bedroom house.
I want you to stuff it all into that backpack.
Now try to walk. It's kinda hard, isn't it?
This is what we do to ourselves on a daily basis:
we weigh ourselves down til we can't even move
and make no mistake; moving is living
Now, I'm gonna set that backpack on fire.
What do you wanna take out of it?
Photos? Photos are for people who can't remember.
Drink some ginkgo and let the photos burn.
In fact let everything burn and imagine waking up tomorrow with nothing.
It's kinda exhilarating, isn't it?
...
This is how I start everyday of my life.
Now this is gonna be a little difficult, so stay with me.
You have a new backpack.
Now this time, I want you to fill it with people
Start with casual acquaintances, friends of friends, folks around the office.
And then you move into the people you trust with your most intimate secrets.
Your cousins, your aunts, your uncles. Your brothers, your sisters, your parents.
And finally your husband, your wife, your boyfriend, your girlfriend.
Get them into that backpack.
Don't worry I'm gonna ask you to light it on fire.
Feel the weight of that bag.
Make no mistake your relationships are the heaviest components in your life.
Feel the straps cutting into your shoulders.
All those negotiations and arguments and secrets, the compromises.
You need to carry all that weight.
Then you set that bag down.
Some animals were meant to carry each other to live symbiotically for a lifetime.
Star-crossed lovers, monogamous swans.
We are not those animals.
The slower we move, the faster we die.
We are not swans, We're sharks.
*Anybody who ever built an empire, or changed the world, sat where you are now. And it's because they sat there that they were able to do it.*

10 March 2010
Just now went to 1-Utama for lunch and movie. It was super packed with cars.. i had to go to both B1 & B2 to look for a parking spot. finally after 25 minutes of looking for a parking, i saw an aunty walking towards her car, and tried to "communication" with her. . . The aunty was very good . . . Wish her longevity. She got into the car, and waited for me to make a turn to her spot. She just sat in the car, and didn't let people know that she was leaving, making people think that she just got there. Once i was there, she reverse out for me to have the spot. I think i'm considered lucky also...
At the shop for lunch, bump into Charlene and her colleague from IBM.

In a moot court, just for laughter.
The court was starting to get noisy from all the "commotion"
Judge: Order! order!
Accuse: Teh Tarik Satu. (One cup of milk tea)
Judge: *pissed off* See me in the chamber later.
Accuse: Ok sure. You making another cup? hmm...
