Tw0 weeks oF LiFe chAnGinG ExPeRieNcE...
Saturday, April 25, 2009.

Its been so hot recently….
I barely stand the heat when I toss and turn in my bed…
Everything seems to come back to normal After a two weeks of life changing experience…
In the first place, I’ve never thought of being chosen to attend this amazing camp..
Coz I feel that I did badly during my interview….
Surprisingly, abang farith told me that I actually answered the questions professionally and I gave them quite a good impression in the first place…
One thing I really feel bad about is that I din actually performed my best in this camp..
In my point of view, communication is the main problem…
I have no problem in communicating with ppl…
But I’m facing a giant when I was called to speak up in front of everyone using ENGLISH impromptuly….
I have no problem speaking and giving out ideas in mandarin….
but in english is really a tall order for me…
For the first few days I really feel that I’m very very small….
i’m no one there…
coz everyone chosen to participate in this camp really has their own abilities…
one of them is OUTSPOKEN!
And for sure…I’m not that kind of person…
So….during the first few days…
I kept a lot of ideas to myself…..
And I kept very quite….
and I dun even have the guts to stand in front to ask a question in english as I noe my English really sucks!!!
I really din participate much in asking all those VIP questions…..
And I noe by then…I disappointed many ppl …
Especially tengku, kak ainol and abang farith..
I’m sosososo sorry…
I noe I’m not wat u expected right??

I started to gain my confidence when I start to noe every single one of them…
Especially during the graduation night performance practice…
It is because I’m doing something that I really love and noe a lot about it..
Guess what is it??Yes ! Koreck! Its Singing!!!
I gained confidence in singing….
I gave all out for the performance…..
That’s one thing I have no regret about…
One thing I realize about myself…
I will not give any ideas on something ….
Or may be taking part in a discussion actively unless I really have the knowledge on that particular topic….
Because I dun want to be called “ tin tin kosong”….
I wish that every single word that came out from my mouth is something meaningful..
Something that a person will remember it for life…
And really help out the situation….
As for the camp….I really enjoyed myself vv much!!
This camp is known as PKTR…
Which is Program Kepimpinan Tun Razak…..
I heard that Yayasan Tun Razak spent more than RM 200,000.00 for this year's PKTR..
Before that...i din even bother to surf the net…
Looking for information bout this camp….

The first day which is the 5th of april.
We were told to assemble at the lobby of Majlis Sukan Negara …..
I still remember that I took a big bag there…..
I thought that I was the only person carrying such a big bag…
But to my surprise, even the guys are bringing along A FEW BAGS…..Haha….
then we had a day of ICE breaking sessions….
This is the most INTERESTING ice breaking session
I’ve never been through…
The first day itself impresses me……

The second day….
We were told to wear school uniform ..
Coz we are heading to PRINCE hotel to meet YM Tunku Tan Sri Dato Shahriman
and Y.Bhg. Tan Sri Michael Chen who were used to be very close to TUN RAZAK…..
We had a sumptuous lunch there…
We were treated like VIPs……
I started to feel pampered……
And at the same time..
I dun feel good either…coz I thought that…
The first two days itself we were treated so good….
How bout the rest of the days??
It will be vv terrible…..and scary…..for sure...
This is how I felt at the beginning….

Days passed by……
Filled with talks and forums…..
Where I ‘m not performing well….
coz we need to throw a lot of questions to the speaker ….
Among the interesting ppl I’ve met….
were Encik MDd Agil( CEO of INCEIF), Ms Chan Ai Cheng (general manager of S.K Brothers),Miss Nadiah ( she conducts her talk in a very unique way that I can remember it foreva), Y Bhg, Tan Sri Dato Seri Sanusi Junid, Y. Bhg. Tan Sri Arshad Ayub, Y Bhg. Tan Sri Lee Kim Yew( the Founder of The mines wonderland and palace of the golden horses), Encik Nasser Abu Bakar(General Manager of TM Bhd), Pn. Hamidah ( Head of Group Corporate Resources in CIMB),And of course Menteri Besar of Negeri Sembilan and Tun Razak’s wife – Tun Hjh. Rahah Tan Sri Haji Mohd Noah.

The most unexpected thing was……
We actually bersemuka dengan LEE CHONG WEI…
and he is staying in the same block with us…
And of course other players like KOO KIEN KIET….
We spent three days with the AYTRs which is Alumni Yayasan Tun Razak…
They designed a lot of moduls for us……
There’s a secretive meaning hidden behind each modul…
And I found out that all the moduls were vv interesting and unique in its own way….
And its very hard for me to forget every single one of it….
Especially the “ Gunung Berapi” session….
I cried for so sosososo long!!!!I oso notice one thing…
if I started to cry…I can hardly stop..haha….
I cant really describe much bout the moduls here because it is highly confidential (in my point of view)…haha…
We need to keep this secret so that our next generation can really benefit from the moduls design specially for them in the years to come….

Ok….back to the point….
There are two main functions held during this two weeks..
The first one is like “ The Apprentice”….
49 of us were separated into two groups…..
Each group was given the same task which is to entertain a group of orphans…
And each group was also given RM 500 for this project…
“ I dun care how you do it…..or how you guys gonna organize this thing…The main objective is to entertain a group of orphans …..ranged not more than 40of them……We are not going to help you find the orphans …..you go and get the contacts yourselves! Any questions??”
this was what abang sumi said to us….
Talking bout abang sumi….
he ‘s one of the great person I’ve ever met….
He can be very very serious , he can be very funny….
Sometimes he is also cute…haha…
Ok…..back here….
Afterthat….we separated ourselves into two groups….
After much discussion, we named ourselves “OHANA” …
If anyone happen to come across a show named “ Lilo and Stich”I ‘m sure that u all noe wats the meaning of OHANA right???
OHANA means family……
Of course….the group which use the less money and reaches the objective of the project wins…
So my group members cracked our heads to find orphanage and sponsors….
We were given the task on Tuesday( the third day) if I’m not mistaken…
while this function have to be carried out on Sunday….
And we have 6 days to get everything done….
Imagine that!!
We have our schedule packed every single day…
And yet…we need to curi time to discuss on this project…..
That’s y..nearly every night we have to stay back until nearly 1.00 to discuss on that…Sometimes….after 1 we cant go straight to bed…
We still need to wash our clothes…..
and dry it in the dryer..Haha…

Then , another breaking news for us on the next day which is the fourth day....
We need to prepare for the performance on the last night …
which is our graduation night..
All of us were so tensed up….finding solution for each problem….
Finally our first RED letter day comes…..
SUNDAY……
Everyone was excited bout it….
We took our orphans from AUGUSTIANS SHELTER….
Our group of orphans age ranges from primary to secondary…..
The elders was as old as me…..
At first we never thought of the age problem….
But at last , we manage to suit ourselves to the situation
by Changing our plans when necessary…
Everyone was very happy that day….
As for the other team…EUPHORIA..
They certainly did a great job too…
They did their function beside the lake….
while we did it in Memorial Tun Razak…
where we have our station games and talent time…
after this event, we were told to give a brief presentation on what we have done and how much we spent and what have we learnt…..
Knowing that we have to think out of the box this time…..
(as we were given a good scolding for giving a normal and boring presentation on the first time)We scratched our head again….
We were given one hour or so to get prepared….
At last our presentation include : dikir barat, replacing lyrics with our points, sajak and rapping..Isn’t that creative??
Let me show you our composed song…..
Sing to the tune of Belaian Jiwa…..

Augustians
tidak tersangka betapa besarnya,
pengaruh anda.
Kamu telah
Mengajar kami erti keluarga
Kasih dan cinta.

Kau tahu betapa ku sayang pada mu,
Kamu seolah adik-beradik kami, (oh….oh)
Perpisahan ini bukanlah akhirnya
Kamilah Ohana…

Kau tahu betapa ku sayang padamu,
Kamu seolah adik beradik kami, (oh..oh)
Dengan janji bertemu semula,
Mereke dan kita.

This is only part of it…..haha…..
Back to the result of this event,
Actually, EUphoRia beat us in every single aspect…
So they should be the one winning…..
but our performance came out quite good and creative ….
So they gave us a draw for this project…
Surprise???Actually we were quite surprise too….
U noe whats out award??
Its an expensive prize…..
All of us were paid to board a cruise ride in putrajaya which cost RM 30 per person…
We really enjoy ourselves very much….

Sometimes we really deserve a good scolding…
as They wanted us to think out of the box ….
And they really have vv high expectation from us….
But we simply let them down by doing something lame, normal and boring….
Such as presenting something on a piece of majong paper…
As such, we got an one hour of scolding from all the urusetia and facilitators at the first week..
It’s been a long time since I got scolded….
The sense of guilt is so strong ……
After that night….
we tried our best to give all out for every single thing we do…
We dun wan any scolding again….

After the big event on Sunday…
We went straight to kuala kubu for a camping…
We built our tent….
And went for a night walk in the forest…
Can u imagine u walk without using a torchlight in the forest?
U cant see anything!!!
Everyone juz slipped and fall…haha…
The next day was the most exciting day of the camp…
We went white water rafting…..
This was the first time I did that….
My raft even got a “raft cheer” haha..
It sounds like that….
“ paddle pop….wow!!!Paddle pop…yeah!!!Super duper yummy!!!”Haha……

After that, we went back to MSN (majlis sukan Negara)again….
Actually I thought I would slim down after attending this camp..
Coz every day we were told to attend two time of riadah…
One in the morning 6.45 and the other in the evening….
But eventually, I din lose any weight I guess….
Coz the food we ate during the second week was SUPER DUPER DELICIOUS>>.:)

On the (eleventh day) ,
We went straight to Negeri Sembilan for a homestay programme in Kampung LOnek…
We gain a lot from the homestay program…
Have u ever tap rubber trees??
Have u ever catch fish in the mud river beside the paddy field using barely your hands????
Have u ever made a flower yourself using rubber tree’s leaves???
Have u ever make kuih beramai ramai???
My mak angkat is a super chef!!
She cooks good food that I simply dint have a chance to taste it in ipoh….
Oh…I miss the food so much!!!!!

After all the kampong activities…..
We head on to PORT DICKSON!!!
Wohoo!!! at first we thought that we are going for NS training coz the place we stayed was juz beside the NS camp!!! Haha…
We spent two nights in Casa Rochaldo…..
And we went jungle trekking….

The preparations for OUR NIGHT gained momentum…
Everyone of us practice again and again….under the stars…..
This is the second time I saw so many brilliant stars shining brightly ahead…I
t reminds me of someone……
Before I forget…
the food in casa rochaldo is fantastic too!!!!

After practice and practice and rehearsal and rehearsal…
The second RED LETTER DAY came…
We head straight to the town of N9….
and visit a few places….
Then to the five star hotel --- The Royal Bintang of N9….
The moment we reach there,
we were given forty minutes or so to put our luggage bag..
I took this chance to iron my clothes..haha…
I would like to thank tracey who lended me her sweet baju kurung that night…
The performance was a blast!!!
We succeeded in doing an extraordinary performance that night…
We were told that our performance was totally different from all the previous years…
before that….
we were also told that we were the worst badge of PKTR….
Despite that, we din give up….
we know that it is juz a tactic to ignite our spirits….

To cut things short….
We did a great JOB on the last night….
The performance consist of singing, dancing, sajak, drama…..
We even compose our own theme song this year….

Our THEME SONG!!

Tangan menggengam perpaduan,
Hati beriktikad penyatuan,
Kaki melangkaui kemajuan,
Itulah amalan berkepimpinan.

Benih kepimpinanan disemaikan,
Kamilah pemimpin masa depan,
Menggapai wawasan,
Penjana pembangunan,
Pemacu kegemilangan.

PKTR wadah perdana bian kepimpinan,
Mara melangkah hadapan,
Menyingkap satu Malaysia,
Impian bersama,
Kamilah wacana pembangunan!!!

That’s y we are extraordinary….XP….
I uploaded loads of photos in friendster and facebook…
Feel free to enjoy it!!
Our kind hearted urusetia abang farith had done a noble job in editing the video of our performance for us too...

The most haterble day has yet to come…
The last day of PKTR…
Is filled with tears and sadness…..
After eating our breakfast together….
We went on separate paths…..
to a place where we once lived….
No one wanted to leave…..
But that’s the way it is….


We were strangers….
Starting out on a journey…
Never dreaming wat we have to go through..
Now here we are..
And I’m suddenly standing ..
At the beginning with you…

Ku tak tahu,
Apa yang kulalui,
Tak tersangka..hubungan bersama..
Kini ku girang…
Dengan impian nyata…
Sinilah mulanya….

And life Is a road that I wanna keep going,
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing,
Life is a road, now and foreva wonderful journey,
I’ll be there when the world stops turning,
I’ll be there when the storm is through,
In the end I wanna be standing
at the beginning with you.

Orang asing dalam pengembaraan,
Tak tersangka impian digapai,
Kini ku berdiri,
melangkah ke hadapan,
Sinilah mulanya….

And life Is a road that I wanna keep going,
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing,
Life is a road, now and foreva wonderful journey,
I’ll be there when the world stops turning,
I’ll be there when the storm is through,
In the end I wanna be standing
at the beginning with you.


I really gained a lot from this camp…
This is not an ordinary camp…..
But an amazing and fantastic program….
Which comprises of all leaders around the world to meet up…
And later become a one big family together…..
Our friendship will never die….
And we are proud that we are one of the Alumni Yayasan Tun Razak…
Hope to see you guys in next year PKTR….
the thing I treasured most bout this camp….
regardless the knowledge to become a better person in life and a successful leader…is FRIENDSHIP……
every single one of you affects my life…..
and mean a lot to me….
