Find your MIND, MIND your MIND

Find your MIND, MIND your MIND is the theme for this SIMBB Camp.

three days 2 nites, 13-15 November 2009. If i'm not wrong, two years ago same day and months i was playing CEO Match with my team, Francis, Jez, Anthony, and Dovan.. :)

This year, i join the SIMBB Camp. It was really fun and inspiring at the same time relaxing. Kind of retreat from the stressful worldly world. I went to camp together with Anqi and William after early dinner.

In the camp, we play a lot and learn a lot. There have sing a song session, bowl water session, candle light procession, and five stations games. I become one of the station master in the game of find the correct path. It was located in a container. Haha, that place was comfortable. It was in a air-conditioned room. The fun part is that the participants which already formed into group are asked to find the station before playing the game in the station. Being at a corner in the container, most of the groups having difficulty to find the station. So in the end, Andy have to go and help the team to find our station. The game is this station is a 6x3 box, which is required them to cross the box by finding the correct way of predetermined set of path. I had a lot of fun in serving as station master. Thanks to the committee for preparing all this, and game master Berly prepare the game manual. So basically i jus come and play.

And in the end, i personally like the most is the session we were asked to write a name on a blank paper, then we pass on the paper for the rest of the participants write down their first and last impression bout the person whose name on the paper. and so on the paper pass around until the end pass back to the owner.

There also Dharma session by brother Shi'an (I didnt attend fully) about mindfulness. And by Ven Chuan Guan. Which last Dharma talk about shifting the focus on ourselves to other people. I learn a lot from the Dharma talk.

Well, finally i also get to know some friends in the Camp. They are all interesting people, Her Chuan(Martial Art boy), Desley(Pretty boy), Andrew, Verdy(talk a lot, but dunno how to control)^^, Alan(quiet boy). Then there are Long, and Tommy, too bad didnt have chance to interact more with them. then the rest of the guys, i have know before...

So in short, that camp was great. I enjoy it.. :)

Hope i can join for the third year. :D

Human interaction

It's been long time since my last post. Well, becos lots of thing happen and i don know where should i start. Let's start to report my current situation.

Right now, i alredy accepted the offer of being the merchandiser, and now is applying for S-pass. But the application is still in process. I wonder how long will this take. Hopes this wont take too long to know the result, so that i can move on faster. If approved, i would work hard to learn everything and do my best in performing. But if it is not approved, i really dun know what i am going to do. Becos up until now i'm still confuse which is the way that i'm really keen on. Staying in Sg and try again or Go back Indo for good. :(

Attended Emi's wedding, that was a fun time as that was a rare opportunity for all our frens to gather and meet. However that gather doesnt as fun as i expected. Even though we meet, but it seems there's some distance between us, or mayb only i felt that way. But seeing Emi's wedding reminding us that we all have grown up. Should have really plan for the future of settling down^^.

Last few weeks, i went back to Balai. That was long time since my last return. Well, not much different other than more black out and out of water. I went back, at first nothing to do. But soon i have to help my brother and sis-in-law to take care the shop. It's also good to back and spend some non-stress time in Balai. Spend most of the time at home, shop and Yudi's home :D

Another thing i like is becos i get to eat the food i like there such as Roti prata (martabak), Sate, Aboleng (a kind of glutinous ball), Pempek :)

The only thing i dun like is the black out which make the nite very HOT... unable to sleep :(

The last week, back to Singapore. Finally able to connect to internet unlimited.

So after back to Sg, there are things i do in Sg. Firstly is to participate in SIP BBQ. Then there are some disputes between the 'members'. Is there always have disputes in the interaction of human? Becos not only here, everywhere i go, i see disputes. Some are shown clearly, some are just complaining behind the back. And most of the disputes are caused by the ego of the ppl. The ego that has created the first impression that determined what kind of the opposite party. And then the impression will determined the interpretation of every action that party do.

Not only relation between colleague, but also relation between BGR and family. Son and father, daughter and mother etc.... :( How to calm those ppl down and open their perspective so they can hear clearly what the other party is really saying :(

November really is the full of activities. Other than helping clubs, i also have birthday celebration. Well, luckily not all celebration i have to be there, or i'll be "KANKER".

Happy birthday to Lisa and Luke for last saturday and Sunday. Then yesterday(monday), happy birthday to Anqi. Hee, i was asked to buy present for them. It's really racked my brains to keep thinking what to buy...^^

To be able to knw a person is already not easy. Especially we are from different places and background. And we have know each other and become frens is really an affinity between us. For Amel, Anqi, Jez, Hao, Jy, Andre, Kepah, Hua, Jing Wei, Edmund, Francis, Lik Ming, and many more that i cant write down one by one, i'm really grateful to have you all as my frens. I may not be good at words, and i admit i lack the initiative to find out about you and care bout you, but you all always in my mind. :D
