Entry for English Class - June - week 19

Well, my cyber pals, I am back from Penang!! And I have to say, all those people who talk about Penang being one of the best destinations for food lovers (i.e me) SPEAK NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH!!!! Although I wasn't able to try out the famous Char Kuey Teow from what I could smell, the aroma was nothing short of exquisite. The view in Penang was beautiful too, sunny beaches, various tourists, array of shops as far as the eye could see, a true paradise.

While my three day stay there was magnificent, I'm afraid I have nothing much to say, as my days were filled with mindless frolicking on the beach and deep sessions that touched my heart, so I'll end it here, Alla prossima volta (until next time) my wonderful friends

Entry for English class - June - week 18 & 19

Well, it's been so long since I've even visited this blog, with my exams for two weeks and my holidays, I am finally taking the initiative to write this post during the holidays...(holiday happiness is starting to get to my head, I'm almost becoming diligent...well, "almost") 

Since this is an impromptu post, I really have nothing much to talk about besides my most recent trip to Malacca from the 1st of June till the 4th of June.

I joined this trip because it was held by my Church Youth Commitee, KAYM. It was a four day long trip with the theme 'Placing God First' and boy, was it an amazing trip.

It started in the afternoon, we were to gather at the church (well, more of a chapel actually) by 2:30 p.m. And took a 3 hour long bus ride to a well established Christian sanctuary appropriately named, 'El Sanctuary'.

The area was nothing short of breath-taking, nature all around, plenty of open space and many friendly dogs just waiting for a pat on the head and some playful marshmallow chasing, a true sanctuary. The sanctuary was managed by a kind family who have made it their lives to run the place. The sessions we attended were very informative and group sharing really made me think and look into my heart for the answers. The food, as was expected, was magnificent, being to many camps, most of my most dreaded experiences tend to happen because of the food, imagine my surprise when the most tantalizing of aromas wafted in to the hall when the facilitators opened the doors to inform us the food was ready. 

I spent many nights in the air conditioned hall just sitting and talking to my friends about our lives and comparing jokes (some of which were a little...racist) haha, but nobody got offended.

It was an amazing trip filled with fun, merry-making, information, and many new friends well, my diligence has run out, hopefully the next time I update will be after my trip to penang for another camp, so till then, 'Arrivederci alla prossima volta' (goodbye, until next time (Italian (because it is one of my favorite languages))) 


p.s. just a note, i actually wrote this entry beforehand but did not get a chance to post it xD
