holiday cum work in pangkor

unfortunately, more of the latter. 🙁

this morning at 9.00am, i’ll be off to pulau pangkor. (picture shows one of the beach in pangkor, taken from that website itself). it is for a youth camp that our society, society of st vincent de paul (SSVP) organised. there are about 70 participants (age 16 to 19 p from penang, kedah and perak) – a lot this time. our last youth camp had only 20 (in sg petani, kedah). probably because of the location. many of them like to go to pangkor i guess.

the camp is from 14 to 16 but i have to be can’t stay on 15 night to go back on 16 as on 16 i have lots of work to do in the office. so it’ll be only 1 one night stay for me. what a pity as i understand on the 15 night there will be a barbecue.

we’ll be going via a chartered bus to lumut, and from lumut, we have a chartered ferry too! we’ll be staying at the vickri beach resort in pasir bogak.

on the first day (14, today), i’ll be very busy with the registration and accommodation. there will be lots of input session and workshop for the participants. i have to be around as ‘secretariat’ in case they (participants, facilitators and officials) need anything. don’t think i can have a rest during the session as i must record down what happens during the session. poor me. see, what i mean by more work than holiday for me. however the good thing is of course i get to learn something too via the sessions and to meet people but most of all of course is – the food! haha. it’ll be non stop eating. another good thing is that the participants only pay a minimal of RM25, after subsidy, whereas, i as organiser… lagi best… don’t have to pay anything.

everybody will be going back on 16 afternoon but i have to go back on 15 afternoon/evening so i guess i’ll be all alone. have to find my way how best to catch the bus/ferry back. on 15 afternoon, there is an outing ‘island hoping’. i hope i have time to join the island hoping before i go back!

ok so there’ll be no posts from me tomorrow and if i come back on 15 wednesday late, i’ll be tired to post too.

there’ll be no rest for me as on friday evening, i’ll be away from home again (for 2 nights), for a progam our office organised. it is because of this weekend program going on, that i need to be back to the office by 16 (missing one day in pangkor) to see that everything are planned and prepared for this weekend program. so many things happening in a week… uh oh not forgetting going to put on weight with the non-stop eating for the youth camp today and tomorrow and our own program this weekend. argh! another argh! is i’m going to miss blogging! not to say blogging but no internet at all! argghh!
