I'M BACK!!

heehee... finally back from malaysia...

the trip was indeed very wonderful... a very worthwhile trip for me at least... i got to meet very very very friendly ppl who treated us like VVIPs, great frens whom i'd probably have for as long as i can... and a whole bunch of children who have inspired me even more to work harder for CO... be it personally or for the school... but individually i still can... school wise... see how la hor... we'll work things out somehow...

the eight of us alumni thoroughly enjoyed ourselves this entire trip, interacted and mixed well with students of SMJK Keat Hwa School (1)... bus ride took 12 hours to reach penang so we went around on a van booked by the tour agent.. then headed to Alor Star to get to the hotel.. Grand Crystal it is called.. a five storey 3 start hotel... hahahaha.... first impression very bad... no other comments... but grew to love that place anyways in the end.... hahaha....

met up with the conductor over there Mr Goh Suk Liang... a local who grew up in the town and eventually became one of the best CO instructor in the whole of Malaysia... Found out that CO was considered a Uniformed group.. so the students actually had to be very disciplined... which was a very good thing also... hahaha.... had threee meals in one dinner that night.. apparently, locals always like to treat guests to food when they're entertaining them... so we were the very first on the slaughter... hahahaha....

had a very grand dinner hosted by the school board in the 5 star StarCity Hotel nearby and the children arrived slightly late cos of the flight they took was a little later.... had a crazy session of writing my contacts to the Keat Hwa students who had little booklets made with all our names printed on it, so they had to search for everyone of us to complete the book... hahaha... was very fun...

next day was practice all day... went for combined practice in the morning and afternoon, then followed by Keat Hwa's practice at the concert stage that night after we were invited to play as guests players on stage with them... those were the more fun pieces to play... hahahah....

next day was all concert preparations till 7pm when everything was put in place for the start of the ceremony at 7.30pm... practiced and ran around like mad trying to see to everything... all that was left was the concert... it started off well and ended off with nothing but praises... hahaha... took a combined group photo and then the students jus parted ways like dat.... such a pity there wasn't any sending off or farewell and stuff... jus like dat, our students left for penang the next day for a day of shopping and sightseeing where i had more chances to take photos.... hehehe.... then they took a flight back whilst the 8 of us alumni waited for our bus ride back which we got off at around 8.40am... had a little bit of breakfast and then discussed some things abt Keat Hwa's coming next March for their visit and called it a morning... took two cabs home and that was all... hahaha.... of course there were loads n loads of funny stuff that happened there but if i were to finish it all in one go then i think ppl will simply waste the later parts... next time k? i need to slp also... still havent sleep yet... hahahha....

ooh... i didn't mention my amazingly swollen left leg throughout the entire trip which basically i ignored until when it couldn't fit into any shoes anymore... hahahaha.... still recovering, but it'll be fine... i can still walk, jump and run... hehehe... jus slower only... =)

a trip i'll never forget... thank you one and all who made it happen.... =)
