浮罗交怡计划 - 社区服务团 Langkawi Project

Haven't blogged in a while huh? Sorry, was busy preparing for my final paper before hand and went out a lot before I started to prepare the Langkawi Project stuffs (浮罗交怡计划).

Wah, just reached home from a 2D1N 社区服务团 (Langkawi Project) training camp in UTAR Sungai Long campus. Seriously, I'm not that tired but hell, my both legs are freaking in pain. Haha I know I'm complaining like an Ah Ma, but really, people who don't exercise much like me will face the same problem after this training camp.

Maybe you think that punishment like pulling ears up and down is easy and light, but when you are being punished 40 over times early early in the morning, you'll know the taste. Haha I'm not grumbling for being punished, but I think I really need to exercise more regularly d.

Haha imagine with our thighs aching like hell, we still need to climb a don't know how many fleets of stairs to the 8th floor of the building. When we need to go toilet within 5 minutes, we had to go down to 5th floor and go back to 8th floor. Haha.... I think I walked like a duck while going down the stairs because my thighs were so pain. LOL.

OK, enough for the negative stuffs. Besides that, I think for overall, I really enjoyed myself. Frankly, I thought of backing off from this programme because there was a time that I was really homesick and I wanted to go back hometown badly. But after this training camp, I'm semangat berbara-bara again. Haha no worries, I'll do my best because I've set my mind on it!

Learnt lots of clappings, dances etc. Plus, today we attended 4 talks and learnt a lot of stuffs. Lazy to list everything out. Basically, it's about:
  • brief history and intro about Langkawi Project
  • counselling techniques, how to communicate and get along with people
  • steps and ways to become a good leader
  • education loans, scholarships that can be applied
    www.malaysia-scholarship.com
  • types of tertiary education for people who really don't like to study
    Eventhough they are not good in studies, they can still be as successful as us!
  • things and qualifications that a leader must be well prepared with
Haha sounds boring? But the speakers are experienced speakers. They conducted good talks and successfully enlightened our moods and motivated us by funny and interesting ways of speaking=)

I really hope I can be as successful as those seniors and can guide my soon-to-be adopted brother/sisters well to the least of University level. I will be carrying a great responsibility to ensure that they have the right thinking and concept of education. All the best to everyone including members in Sg Long!

Here, I would like to express my gratitude to members in Sg Long for providing accommodation for members in PJ and Setapak last night, especially to Carmen. Her house is like a hotel to me. THANK YOU girl! It's nice meeting you from the 1st meeting. Next time must remember to take picture with you =)

The best sentences that I've learnt (in Chinese):
  • 唯有当你愿意把功劳归给别人时,才会成为真正伟大事业。
  • 不要与禽兽争斗(野蛮的人),因为:
如果你赢了,那你比禽兽还禽兽
如果你输了,那你连禽兽都不如
如果打平了,那你和禽兽没有两样



By the way, give you a question (mind test):

Draw a face consisting of 10 shapes. However the shapes are limited to only
triangle, square and circle.

Answer:
If your drawing consists more:
  1. circles : You are lack of love.
  2. squares : Square-minded. Don't know how to twist around and is a very logical person.
  3. triangles : You're someone who always like to do the opposite ways. Rebellious.
So, which type are you? Haha won't tell you mine. Blek.

Hope that our team will be successful! GAMBATE everyone!

Will be busy preparing stuffs for this event until it ends on 12th of Oct. Till then!
