Superstar

I'd be lying if I say I have had better than this.
I'd be lying if I say I wasn't at all surprised.
Truth is, I've never felt this big before.
Maybe when I was a lot younger and slimmer, I did get those kind of appreciation and recognition.
Last nite, I was at Benum Hill Eco Resort, where I was a guest speaker for the Selangor Youth Outbound Camp. I was accompanied by two dear friends, who were also paintballers. Our arrival was greeted by Salihah and we were then brought to our chalet and later to dinner. Half an hour later, she said it was time for the "talk". Upon our arrival to the hall, all eyes were on us. We were completely clad with our gears and jerseys, even with face mask. When I was invited and introduced to the crowd, the participants and the instrustors cheered and gave us a BIG clap. We were shocked to see the responds. When I started my speech, the participants showed so much of interest and listened to all my "crap" in awe. I didnt actually prepare anything and was talking straight from my tired and worn out brain. But amazingly, the crowd was giving so much of interest and they didnt even wait a second to ask me a lot of questions. Fortunately, iImanaged to answer all the questions.
I must say iIwas like one kindergarten teacher, eventhough there were kids aged 15 to 18 too. They kept asking how to play the game so I asked Eddy to do a demo. We brought our markers and tried to do some shootings to the wall where papers and a bin were pasted. Eddy shoot and shoot till the bin actually smashed and that left the audiences astonished. I was so glad everyhting went well and the audiences like our demo and talk. After that we stayed for their "Talentime" which was hillariously funny and creative. The most funny performance was probably when one of the instructors performed Hindustani dance moves. That really made me laughed my head off!

After the talentime, the kids came to us for autograph and some more questions. I seriously felt like a real Paintball STar..hahaha...We were even treated like a VIP by the instructor, which really touched me. We had a very long chat with mose of the instructors who were very friendly and funny. We stayed over for the nite in one of teh chalet. All of them were staying in dorms but they gave us a lovely chalet. Such a great hospitality. I slept like a baby all through the nite!

The next morning, we wake up early to join them for breakfast, and when we said goodbye, everybody was really thanking us and the kids cheered for us again...isnt that lovely. I LOVE KIDS...and teens too.

We continued our plan for the day. We went to Lata Jarum to enjoy the beautiful waterfall and to Eddy's farm. We stopped over by the road on our way back to eat durians and rambutans. Had lunch in pekan Bentong , managed to get our hands on "gulai ikan patin". It was a perfect outing altogether.

I guess you don't really have to travel overseas to unwind, cuti-cuti Malaysia will do.
