Sawiran, Completing SuperTeen

Yeah, as the title said. Actually, Sawiran is not a name of an activity. It's a name of a place where I went some weeks ago, to spend 3 days and 2 nights there, joining the school program - Civita / Ret-ret - with my class (XI A1).
Well, not much to say about it from the first 2 days. But what make me feels that Sawiran completing SuperTeen is what happened at the third days. It happened on the session about "Abortus", or abortion. There, we saw a film called The Silent Scream. The film showed us about a 3 months or less embrio (I forgot what exactly the embrio's age) which was killed, or in other word, is being aborted. In that film, it is shown that the embrio was trying so hard to dodge from the machine that will kill him. The embrio can't stay still, feeling that his life in danger. Then, the tool cuts the hands, the foot, and the other part of the bodies. The last part is the head. The abortion team called it "The number One". When the head was already caught, the tool will cut it out, make it separated from the body. Even though we can't see the process clearly (Thanks God, it was really scaring!) we can see the motion of the embrio and the tools. Really.. disgusting.
And, to be honest, I don't really enjoy this Sawiran time. Not because of the program (about Sexuality). No, not that. But what I dislike is, the aura. Or, in other words, my class. I prefer XC then my class now. I dunno why, but I think it's because they are to selfish each other? Well, feel it myself, that they're hardly, to hear, and to response, others' opinion. They thought that their opinion is the rightest, and the others' are not so important. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's what I feel.
Oh well, at least, I had 3 days no lesson, no studies, and fun. And a bit narcissistic.. Hehe xD

Part II - SuperTeen Holiday Camp

Ok, feedback from my holidays.. Here, I'll tell you what I was doing last holidays.. But I can't tell completely the details about this, because you have things that you should keep as a resource.. :)

Well, as I told you before at Part I - When the Journey Begins, I joined the SuperTeen Holiday Camp. Maybe some of you don't know what's SuperTeen Holiday Camp. Well, it's not just a camp, It's a Life Transforming Camp. And it's the BEST camp I've ever had. So, last month I came again to this camp, and I became a resources. This was my second time as a resources. It was very fun. It started from August 22nd to August 28th.
My platoon was BAKSO (Meatball) with DD as our Platoon Commander (PC). Other resources from Bakso were Lisa, Eric, Dion, Dea, Julia, and Jonathan.

Day 1 - August 22nd, about 11 a.m. We arrived at the Grand Lembang Hotel, put our bag, and then went to the hall for briefing. We met our beloved trainers there, Dr. Ernest Wong, Ken, and also Peter. After briefing, what were we do is made a cheers and posters for our platoon. Our cheers was like this :

Bakso Go, Bakso Go
Bakso Bakso Go Go Go
We are here and we will fight
We will win and be the Best
Baksoo.. Dahsyat..!!
Yeeeeyy..!!!

It's not very long, though. But as long as it made us spirited.. Why not? hehe :D
And then, at the afternoon, the campers came. I can't stop my heart-beating. I was so excited! haha :D They put their bag on their room, and then go back to dinner hall at 6 p.m. At 7 p.m., they went up to the hall, and..
LET's GET IT STARTED!
After a short introduction from the trainers, they were separated in some groups at each platoon. My group's name were Radiant, which means Brilliant and Charming. My group was consist of Farah, Michelline, Pamela, Albert, Dityo, Timothy, and Gorga. And, well, I can say that they're really nice person :)

Day 2 - August 23rd. At the morning, after we ate breakfast, we went to the field and do something what we called Morning Excercise. After done, we went to the other side of the field, and did the Challenge of Excellence (COE). That day was for The Principle Walk and The Swinging Lock.
What can we learn from these two activities? First, We can get what we FOCUS on. And then, we MUST HOLD OUR PRINCIPLES when we walk on. If we hold it strongly, we can tackle any obstacles that appear in our life. We also have to BALANCE our life. And then, we also ask some questions and they have to answer it. The questions are just like these :
Life is shaking, what must you do? -> I will balance my life!
Study or Play? -> Study!
Family or Friends? -> Family!
Eyes of the Tiger? -> Body of the Monkey!

Day 3 - August, 24th. The important event here is The Man in The Mirror and Steel Rock. It's the day of Tears. But, I also realized that this part is very good. I also cried when I was a camper.

Day 4 - August, 25th. The important event here is The Love Letter. I always crying at day 4. Maybe, you asked, why are you crying? When you join this camp, you'll know why. The event at day 4 is really touching our hearts.

Day 5 - August, 26th. I always love day 5. Why? Because, it's time for the Water bom and Car wash. And of course, for the ghost story. Haha :D But, on the morning, we got shocking bad news. Ernest told us that Michael Jackson was died, from the message he got. That was really surprised us. And then, at the noon, after we washed up and eat lunch, Ernest played some Michael Jackson's video clip, and then we sang together Heal The World.
After some memoriams of Michael Jackson, came again one bad news. Ken and Jean were going back to Jakarta to run Smart Kids. We sure lost two of them, though. But, we had to consistent in our duty, our job as a resources. So we should not keep our sadness for long time.

Day 6 - August, 27th. The last day for Campers. At the morning, there's no Morning excercise. Besides, we did the Trust Fall. And then, last test for campers and.. Graduation Time! The campers' parents were coming and after the ceremony was over, they're busy with taking pictures, chit chat, asking for phone number, e-mail address, and signatures. They also bought the posters and Peter's Book - The Joys and Pains of Growing Up, 17 Principles Every Youth Must Know! Well, that's really a good book, you know! Hehe :)
After the Campers were going back with their family, the resources were going to Jasmine, ate dinner and Karaoke. Ernest and Peter are not joining us, because they also have to get back to Jakarta and running Smart Kids together with Ken and Jean.

Day 7 - August, 28th. The last day for resources. But it ended up faster for me and NJ. Well, as I mentioned at the last post, we were from Malang. So, at that morning, I met NJ's father and Ko Harris (NJ's brother). After ate breakfast, we said good bye to any resources we met. I also still saw some campers there. The boy who said good bye to me before I got into the car was Billy, one of Dion's campers. But I had a good relationship with him, because I always met him and helped him if I could. Hehe :) And then, we got into the car, and.. Byes Lembang..

So, that was my experience at SuperTeen Holiday Camp. Are you interested to join us? Being a resources or campers? You can choose! For more information, you can visit this site : Learning Mastery.

Dare to Dream!

New day, New Experiences

Well, today I re-learn about something. It's about self-esteem and self-confident. Today, I checked out some people's blog. And, wow, however, their blog surprised me. When I read their posts, I felt like this :

"These are so cool. What's my blog about? It's just nonsense. I'm so foolish to think that my blog could be better."

But, hey! Something at myself didn't accept my thought (Maybe it's my sub-conscious). And I think about it again.. And then, something appeared in my mind :

"It's not how good you are, but how good you want to be."

Suddenly, I got it right, and I said this to myself :

"Well, so what? This is mine. So what, if it's nonsense? It's my life, and it's my dream. I'm going to be better than this, It's just about time."

That's higher my self-esteem, and now, with this new spirit, I'm going to be better and I'm ready to start schooling again.

Oh yeah, today, we had a Tae Kwon Do training for the Display time at MOS. That was pretty cool. I also took some pics of my friends while they were training. I also got Ricard's pic, when he was warming up with the sunlight as the background. Haha. I'll post the pics later on..

Fervent in Spirit!!

Part I - When the Journey begins..

Hi! This time, I'll tell you my journey went to Jakarta before I went to Lembang..

So, this is the first day of my journey.. It was on Saturday, June 20th. NJ, Hans, and I were going to Jakarta by plane. And after we arrived, we were going to Gading Serpong - where the TDW Office took place - to join the Briefing before camp. And, then, I met a man, that I didn't expected to meet him. It was Ken. Last time, I didn't join the briefs, so I didn't know that The SuperTeen Staffs also coming. Well, that was quite shocking. But I got shocked twice. I met the one and only one, the OWM's President - Hans. Wew, I didn't know that he also joined the camp before. NJ and I asked him, whether he also becoming a resource or not. But he said that he just accompany his sister, Lidya. And then, as our stomach starving (NJ, Hans, and I), the briefs was going to began. I met lots of people there. I already knew some of them already, such as Dion, Tara, Lisa, DD, Recca, and Monica. But some of them are really new for me. But later on, I could make great relationship with them :)

After the briefs was done, I was really starving. And then, Ci Wenny knew it, and one of TDW's staff bought us some food - Nasi Padang. Wew, that was really hot! And then, after we done, we helped their jobs, lining and cut the sticker into pieces. At about 7 p.m., we were going to the mess, which said that the other resources who from Surabaya, also lived there when they were in Jakarta. We should walk a lil bit far, bought some water, and went to the mess. Well, at my first sight, I thought that the mess is really "mess". Haha :P But that's not a problem, though. The first sight sometimes is wrong. And then, after we reached the mess, Ci Melia went back to the office to done her job. At about 9 p.m., Vrio - one of TDW's staff - brought us a fried rice for each person.

The next day, June 21th - Sunday, Hans (NJ's brother) was going back to Malang at 4.30 a.m. for some reason. So that just left NJ and I who joined the camp as a resource from Malang. We woke up at 7 a.m., took a shower, and waiting for Ci Melia, because she said that we'd move on that morning. But she didn't come until 9 a.m. And then, Vrio was coming again, and he took us to the office. After had a breakfast, Vrio, NJ, and I were going to the church. Wow, the church is really COOL. It's very big, and very beautiful. It's called Christ Cathedral. I didn't expect that the inside was better than the outside. And then, the program, was not like my church here in Malang, which always crying and crying. They are very lively, praising God cheerfully, and always say "Shalom" and while they're doing that, they give us a five. That was very cool.

Then, we went back to mess. We spent our time by watching TV, memorizing the scripts, sleeping, sharing, and laughing. Just two of us. Wew, at first, that was really boring. And then, at about 7.30 p.m., we went to the office and then, Ci Wenny got us to Sumarecon Mall, to eat there. We ate grilled chicken. That was nice. And then, NJ brought a hat, stopped at Starbucks, and we went back to the mess. We get all of our bag, and took it into the taxi. Then, we're moving to Ibu Yani's kost. The place was totally different than the mess. Haha :P We reached there late at night. About 11 p.m. or about 12 a.m.

After took a short walk around the kost, we followed Ci Wenny to the mart, and bought some snacks. We got back to the kost at about 1.30 a.m. or more. Then, we hurrily took a sleep, because we'll go to the museum, which place we'll gather together to go to Lembang by bus.

Monday, June 22th, 4.30 a.m., at the kost. I met Ko Edy, and one of the trainer from Singapore. Her name also Jean. Then, Ci Wenny and Jean go to the museum by taxi. After that, Ko Edy, NJ, and I, went to the museum by another taxi. We reached there around 5.30 a.m. We had to wait for half an hour or maybe some hours and then we could go to Lembang.

Next posting! My journey from Jakarta going to Lembang, SuperTeen Holiday Camp, and back again to Jakarta! It'll one of the greatest journey I ever had in my life! :) So, stay tuned! :)
