Penang Trip...What a wonderful trip!!!

20/12/2007, A Wonderful Night

Our youth club has planned a trip to Penang long time ago. The aim of the trip is to enhance the relationship among the members beside teaching us life's philosophy. This is because our members come from different places, we have very little time to get know to each other. Therefore, they gave us this opportunity to know more about other members there.

Initially, i myself had no mood to join the trip as i felt that i couldn't face her. I didn't know what should i said to her when i met her...i felt so tired that i didn't want to talk to others when we were in the bus to Penang at 19/12/2007 night. I spent the night to look at the sky outside the bus window, i kept asking myself: How? How could i face her? I took out the Christmas gift that i wanted to give her from my bag. How could i give her this?

Once we reached there in 20/12/2007 morning, i kept looking for her. I didn't know why i still wanted to look for her even though i fear to see her. We had classes and games along that day. It looked like the team that i joined had no luck in playing games. We lost in almost all the games. I didn't put too much attention in games as my mind was on her along that day.

I felt that i lost all hopes at that night as i had not found any chance to talk to her. i didn't know what to do and no one could help me. They were all busy talking and playing games with their friends and i looked like isolated. I took photos on everyone to divert my attention on her...but i still didn't know i was going to the turning point.

I found that a group of my friends were playing a special game. The game was known as 'true words and great adventures'. They put a bottle on a round table and let it spin. They would see who would be pointed once the bottle stopped spinning and then gave him or her relevant punishment. The punishment was such as asking you:which girl or boy in our trip group that you like? You had to answer it honestly or else you would get 50 pimples on your face!!! Wah!!! What a cruel punishment!!!

However, i found it interesting and joined them without hesitating more. I saw those pointed by the bottle was forced to answer sensitive question like which girl or boy you like over here. I started to be afraid of playing the game and once i made my mind to come out, the bottle pointed at me after spinning.

Once they asked me what type of punishment i wanted, i still remembered that i answered calmly: i choose Great Adventure as i think it is very boring to keep asking who you love and who you like. As one of them has known that i like the girl, she suggested a punishment for me: you go to say 'I love you' to her loudly.

I stunned for a while as i didn't know what to do after this. I asked myself: is this a chance for me? I stood up and then walked to her. They all were shocked with my courage and kept following me to know what would i do. She was talking to somebody at that moment. When my 'followers' walked to her, they shouted: You all! Stay back! You, Stand there and don't move!!! I was standing beside her at that time. She was also shocked and didn't know what to do.

Suddenly, i stepped forward and took her out and then yelled at her: I love you! I love you! I dared not look at her when i was telling out these words, but i knew that she must get shock. I just heard claps after i told out the words.

Time looked like standstill for me at that time. I suddenly felt like i had accomplished something that was impossible for me. I even didn't realize that everyone came to me to know how could i do it and how did i feel. At that time the only thing came to my mind was:Give her the Christmas gift!!! I didn't want to think too much about that or else i would feel regretful forever!!!

Once everyone 'retreated', i just went to her and then asked her: Would you mind coming with me for a while? I have something to give you.

She hesitated for a while then answered: What you want to give me? Or can you do it on the other days?

I said: Perhaps we don't have too much time to talk with each other, so i wish i could give it to you now.

We then walked together to my bedroom and i asked her to wait for a while outside my bedroom. After for a while, i came out with the gift and then came to her and said to her : Merry Christmas. She was shocked with that surprise but i saw that she was quite happy with that. I added: I have promised you that i will give you something during last time you went to KL, so i just keep my promise...

She replied me with her cheerful smile and with her sweet 'Thank you'. I felt like i just accomplished another 'mission impossible'. She still kept saying 'Thank you' to me when she left with the gift. Wah!!! What a wonderful night!!!

New Life For Me...

After that night, i felt like i got a new life. Perhaps it came from the power of love. I really put my full heart in every games we played. Everyone was shocked with my sudden change. It looked like ' i am back'. We almost won in every games we joined until we became the champion team!!!


The photo above was taken once we won the last game.

This photo was taken after we finished the last two games.

I really enjoyed the trip as it gave me new life to breath. I get new life from that.

Thanks God!!!!
