Fellowship Camp 2009

It has become a custom to go to Cameron Highlands for Fellowship Camp during Chinese New Year. It is the first thing we look forward in the beginning of the year. For me I always loved a change of climate for a change and a time away from home and work!!!

It was the year of 2007, it was the first year I attended Fellowship Camp. I was outstanding!!! I had a wonderful time, it was a blast! I just love it all....the freezing mornings....the cold water showers (not that they didn't prepare for us warm water....some bathrooms even had hot water showers). It was my personal choice to take the cold icy cold water showers because of the blood rush and then the warm feeling after that... It just made the whole day more bearable.

I was elected as the group leader....my group members were the most happening people....we named our group LE ROUGE which was THE REDS in French..I think. Our team started a bit down but after one fall, we excelled all the way to TOP. We were the champions. I miss LE ROUGE.

Then it was 2008, help was needed in organizing so I decided to join as a Sewadar. Well it wasn't that bad....I had a good time too....penalizing marks out of teams that made mistakes... I would say many people hated me but it was just because of the duty that was given to me. The Amazing Race on this year was the most longest....I think they had to run around camerons more than 7 kms. The highlight was made after the camp when one of the bus broke down at a rest place... The bus's air brakes got jammed. They tried their best but failed.

We ended up sending the Singapore participants into the nikitan bus and all other passengers squeezed into one bus. This was extreme....so many in one bus + the bags....it was a scary ride. First one guy got sick..then we realized one tyre was getting pregnant because of the weight overloading one side...We had to stop for a while and re organize the weight system on the bus.

Gosh what a trip back....we reached very very late.....

That was the PAST now....let's talk about this year's FELLOWSHIP CAMP 2009!!!

I decided to get back to being a participant this year... hmm.. senior participant..ahem ahem... So here it goes again Friday night meet up point, Titiwangsa Gurdwara!!! The excitement starts there...seeing familiar faces and many new faces....everyone excited!!!

I was in the first bus so what I write is what happened in the first bus... no idea what happened in the second bus. But I will share what I roughly heard which may or may not be true. Don't say I didn't warn. The trip up was good.... All the way we sang songs....we had many talented singers in the bus... We started of with Rehraas...HAHA ... Waheguru tera shuker hai that we had a safe journey!

After the Tapah rest place break, we started antakshri....left side of the bus against the right side. Oh I just love the oldies....we went from old songs to new songs....and then Chinese, Tamil, Malay....GOSH....finally we ended with some kirtan all the way till Tanah Rata Gurdwara.
{Pssssst shhhhhh: I heard the other bus watched a sad movie and slept off}.. =)

As we got of the bus.....gggggrrrrrrrr.....ccccoooolllllldddd...we could feel the chilly cold air....first challenge starts there itself....in that cold chilly wind...dragging our bags up the hill....Then getting a place to sleep....OK even though there were a lot of places here and there....my dearest group doesn't wanna split up. So the six of us endded up sleeping on 2 1/2 mattresses...Left to right....Jasvin,Jusprith,Harvin,Nampreet,Salprith,Gurdeep...Well even though we could not spread ourselves openly and sleep...we kept ourselves warm being so close.

So every night, for me it was very important I had reinforcements to keep myself warm. I know the feeling of the cold morning. DAMN COLD. I wore my favourite thick wooly pajamas, socks and another wool sweater on my tshirt. I had a good sleep and after my cold shower as usual, I am ready to face the day.

Registration was ok... since everyone were adults....we didn't need nametags hanging, we just had temporary stickers.

Ice breakers: It reminded me of the market in Egypt. Where everyone was screaming for attention...The activity was simple....pick 4 numbers out of 1 to 101... go out of the class find the name that is linked to the number and then obviously find the person and get some questions answered about the person. I think you can basically imagine how everyone was.

Grouping: Picking 5 leaders....3 guys and 2 gals....Here it goes again...someone suggested me to be a leader...Who was the culprit? Wait till I get u? I had to go up in front. Guys done need another girl. Another 2 nominations....IDEA.....no need voting...let me step down....Luckily Sanjay agreed because I had already experienced being a leader. So then the rest of the participants were open for sale.....and that's how we got into our groups.

My group: Takht Sri Keshghar Sahib
I would say my group had awesome people in it....there was a variety of all types.....musically inclined, sikhi history masters, kirtanis, hip hoppers, cool, naughty, smart, rebellious, quiet, fun, angels and devils.....A good mixture I would say. =) We just lacked a tabla player which we imported a sewadar .... of course the best, who else, Phobinder.

Well one change which was a great idea was doing Japji and Rehraas in your own group. Instead of the few do in front in the darbar as most of the participant wander in dreamland. We get to choose our own spot and pray together.

Carring on....classes were fantastic and educational....we had our laughter time with our all mighty SANJAY (SERJIT) veeerji. We also had veerji Inderjit, Amreek, Father, .... did I miss out anyone???

I'm still writing this ...not completed yet....

FULLY BOOKED - House2House Simran

Our house to house simran session is really picking up a knot. We have the whole month booked out....This week was havocccc....at Sukhsharan/Manpreet/Tarsem's place.

I wasn't sure about the directions so I called Manpreet and drew a map. I was so proud of myself about the map and was excited to reach there in time. After work, me, ner and narin left from my place heading towards Ampang/Gombak. I asumed it would take us about an hour but I that was my misjudjement. THERE WAS JAM EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best part was that my map wasn't exactly correctly drawn....I actually read the map to Manpreet by phone to confirm the directions but what is heard can mean many ways. That moment really proved it right! She said take the first left exit, then don't take the left keep on going down the road... She meant take the first left exit, then the next junction take right....but when I saw the junction I got confused??!?? So basically my fault la...and we got lost...

So we tried calling them back to get us back on the right road.....at finally at 8:30pm we reached! YAY, they were just about to start the kirtan. Harkiren and Hargobind started off with sooothing simran...then followed by Deybu and Sukhsharan. There is was... another relaxing day of feeding my SOUL. I am so glad I get to do this once a week, and I hope I can carry on every week.

Thanks to Sukhsharan and family, we had a great time there and not forgetting the FOOD....YUM YUM....The dhosai was mouth watering...... dhal + mushroom curry + 4 different types of chutneys and to top it all up with the most popular dessert, KESHRI.....I know..I know..I'm making you guys hungry!!!!

So that was it, and after that it was the battle to decide where the next simran is going to be!!! AMPANG ... OH NO so FAR..... AGAIN...... So next week Thursday, Simran session will be in Chan's house......And the week after that, early booking has been made by Manwant's mom in Subang...YAY somewhere near my place! Looking at all the bookings....Harkiren too decides to book a date....so hers would be on the 14th August.

SO GUYS AND GALS...SIMRAN sessions for the next 3 WEEKS have been BOOKED.

Continuation....

Waheguru.................

The SIMRAN session was just MIND BLOWING......with Phobin's tabla skills and Deybu's waja skills and of course his most mesmerizing VOICE ..... the whole sangat was totally in tuned with the SIMRAN and gave in their best!

After simran we had lovely food compliments from Amreek and family. Once our tummy is filled, we started chit chatting. I was keeping my fingers crossed hoping there was going to be a second round of kirtan JAMMING session.....

So I took out our favourite shabad handouts.....since I did not bring my laptop which has Shabad Guru Explorer to connect to Amreek's projector, I came well prepared so that I know the words.

My PLAN had WORKED !!!!

It all started when Anil, he started with some simran.......then Manpreet (Sukhsharan's sister) took over....with:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gobinday, Mukunday, Udaaray, Apaary, Hariang, Kariang, Nirnamay, Akaamay
Sustainer, Liberator, Enlightener, Infinite, Destroyer, Creator,Nameless, Desireless

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WHAT A FANTASTIC NIGHT.......Next Week SIMRAN's at SUKHSHARAN's PLACE......CONFIRM NOT TO BE MISSED.

Simran Vibrationssss...

Wednesday girl's night out was cancelled....glad!!! After all the daily going to work on time, it's about time I get some rest. SO, I slept off early.. HE HE and yes the next day went to work on time!!!

Thursdays....SIMRAN, after two weeks it's back...We had planned to have simran twice a month at least. So last week was a break for us. I would say it was a good break as today all came for the simran so excited...Hmmm....I don't know about the rest, but I WAS.... I missed it!!!!

My day at work was as usual, but times passed by and it was already 7:15PM!!! Oh NO....SIMRAN STARTS AT 8:00PM. How the hell am I going to reach Ampang in 45 minutes. The last time I went there right after work, it took me 1 hour+++++++

I was panicking....Luckily Harjeet was there to the rescue!!!!

He gave me the fastest way that I could get there....costly but to me it's worth it - to reach there before the simran starts. So by the time I packed and started driving out, it was 7:30PM. I was so sad, I really want to reach there in time....I called Amreek....."Hey I told you have it at 8:30PM.....see la...I just leaving my office! How am I to reach there in time.....Wait for me la!!!"

Amreek wasn't agreeing to postpone it to 8:30PM as he had already told everyone that it would be from 8PM to 9PM. Well it would not be fair for those who were there already. Anyway I still did not give up hope to reach there in time as I knew they would be starting Rehraas how. There might be a slim chance that I reach there just in time!!!

I drove like crazzzzeeeee........The first highway that came along ... I TOOK IT...KESAS.....RM2.20......keep on going...luckily there was not much traffic.....I was flying...i mean speeding...at the same time I was afraid that there would be road blocks.....So I just prayed to be lucky!!!! The kirtan "Mera Pyara Pritam......" was in my mind.

Second toll, another RM2.20 ..... gosh..... I remembered...after this toll is where I got stuck in a massive jam the last time....on MRR2. But this time I won't be taking the same route....thanks to my savior Harjeet. I took the exit into another highway (not too sure was it KLCC or KLIA) which goes up to Kg Pandan roundabout. So there goes another RM1.50.

In between I kept on calling Harjeet to get confirmations on the exits. The exit I had to take was KLCC.....then Harjeet guided me all the way to Bombay Palace. YAY something familiar!!!

I think it was like 10 minutes to 8:00PM....YES... I could not believe it myself.....Hope to reach before the simran starts was getting brighter. Then in all the excitement I wasn't sure if I remembered the way to Amreek's house. "HAI HAI BHULEKKER" So I called my dear bro Phobin, who was more than everready to guide me.

Finally..................GUESS WHAT........when I reached there they were still halfway Rehraas. YAY. I guess thanks to those who were there for not starting too early and thanks to those who were not there yet....who actually reached there later than me and a million thanks to Harjeet and of course my driving skills (he he).

OK, I'm am very sleepy and tired.....tomorrow not to forget.... need to go to work in time!
I will continue more about the simran session tomorrow!!!NITEZ...
