JPP Gathering 2009 - We're back !

We went to the JPPKRS Gathering on 12th June 2009, with 28... but we came back with 29 ----- THE BEST DRAMA !! haha.. the trophy is 7 feet tall, thanks to JPPKRS juries for awarding sbkrs with the 1st place in Drama Competition.
The notable element in this gathering is the hospitality of JPPKRS. Many of sbkrs members felt stranger to JPPKRS before coming to the gathering, probably the reason of lacking communication between the 2 school krs. But all their worries disappeared when they realised how friendly and nice the JPPKRS are. They prepared accommodations, always there ready to help, and even treated us with nice morning drinks! They also prepared the food for us, we don't even need to worried about the food supply, the foods always there before we came back into the rooms... What a rapid and efficient job...

This Gathering – “The Return. Vagabond. Eastern Culture. (漂流。东方文化 之落叶归根)” was participated by Sbkrs (星光), Hua Lian (华联), Poi Lam (培南), Pei Yuan (培元), Perak Girl School (女中), Sam Tet (三德), Kepong Baru (甲洞), Yu Hua (育华), and Tsung Wah (崇华).

The programs were well arranged, everything was scheduled properly, giving us enough time to prepare for the competitions as well as having our meals / breaks. The meals were great ! (Despite some drawbacks for the lunch, hehe …) The crowd there … my god , very fun ! The supporting was very strong from schools like Hua Lian, Poi Lam …. Haha, too bad Sbkrs didn’t join the supporting...

After the gathering, we had breakfast on the next day, then we went to the Keylie’s Castle for a trip ! The buildings there are very nice, but all lacks of safety features… we need to take extra precautions to prevent anything happened… The castle itself its like a maze ... So unbelievable the owner built it all by his own money, imagine this is sbkrs base, haha ... The trip was quite rush, because the bus driver said the maximum until 1130am, so no choice we need to rush a bit, but in a safe manner la of course .. before we boarded the bus, we took the high-school-musical-like photos with the castle at the back + nice weather = nice photo !

Thanks to the bus driver, who was willing to turn back to find Keylie’s Castle although we missed the junction towards it… But too bad at the end of the journey, where we reached the church beside smksb, we found out that one of the paint for the banner was leaked, and the blue paints were all around the back of the bus, including the seat .. so paiseh … so sorry to the bus driver… After we went back, haha … as usual la, some of us, went out to have dinner together at Old Town Cafe... hehe … only 9 of us went , Sir Nicholas, Ah lok, Jun Shen, Hao Hua, Christine, Ho Jia Wei, Charity, Crystal, and Brenda. We talked a lot about the supporting .. haha.. after camp only talk about supporting … anyway, its really a good experience … but I think many will know we have a bigger problem to solve for this camp …

A very thank you to JPPKRS for organizing this gathering, and also to all the schools there, our friendship become stronger after this gathering .. hope we can meet again … Sbkrs and all other krs are always good friends, forever ...
I also need to thanks to all Sbkrs member who made all these come true.. without the participation from you guys, we wouldnt have winning this trophy. Especially to the Drama Team, good job ! for Dancing Team, Banner Team and Singing (Hao Hua), you guys did the best too although didn't win the competition ! To Sbkrs, you guys are all champions ! Next time we gonna rox their house ! haha ....

Last but not least, I may quote the famous motto of Perak krs, together with Sbkrs’ motto :
Once a Cadet, Always a Cadet
One for all, All for one

All the best, SBKRS !
