Our Holiday in Port Dickson...



...with sandy beaches, beautiful sunsets, outdoor activities.

What could it have been if not a holiday? =P

Here is Dinah's and Yumin's account of the Klang Valley Lasallian Convention that happened not too long ago on 17-19 April.


They never saw it coming...

When I first volunteered to be an OT this year, I thought it would be the same like last year’s regional convention. However, it was very much different this year. This is because the responsibilities were more. I was in-charge of secretariat, food and reflection. All three were very fresh for me but reflection was my biggest fear because I haven’t written any reflection scripts before. It was the toughest thing to come out with an idea and to have a proper script. On the other hand, I felt that the delegates this year were better than last year. They were more controllable during sessions. Nevertheless, I learnt many new things from every convention. The most important thing is cooperation among OTs and facilitators to make the convention successful. Besides, being helpful to give a helping hand is a priority too because only a small group of OTs working together. All in all, it was a fun and enjoyable yet hectic convention where I gained a lot of new experiences. A big thank you to all for your great help and kind support.

Err...an activity
It was my second year as an Organising Team member of the Klang Valley Lasallian Convention, and this year’s experience was totally different compared to last year’s convention but still awesome nonetheless.

We left for La Salle, Port Dickson at approximately 3pm from La Salle PJ and during our journey there, we played some games on the bus as the delegates seemed lifeless. I repeat, lifeless, BUT upon reaching there, for the first session, the delegates grew from a lifeless crowd to an extremely energetic crowd. It was a highly attentive and boisterous crowd. Meeting different Organising Team members while working hand in hand with them was a great experience. Not forgetting, the delegates too; their energy and enthusiasm towards the whole convention deserves a round of applause. Hopefully, this convention has taught them something new and different. In whole, a terrific experience being a part of the whole convention process in Port Dickson even though we did not have the opportunity to go to the beach.

Yumin's idea of fun...well, they did look like they were enjoying themselves too

And by 3rd day, the OTs pretty much couldn't wake up 28 young Lasallians ready to Break Walls and Build Bridges!
