Temple's fraternity

Update on **8 August 2013-11 August 2013**

Ah yes, it’s the time of the year again temple organized fraternity. For your information, the Master or chief leader Gao (高点传师) in the temple had spread the teachings of Yi Kuan Dao to other states in Sarawak. The first place that he establishes is Kuching followed by Miri, Penang and so on. I was informed that Kuching’s temple is going to be the main organizer of this year fraternity. The good news is I’m involve as a member of this activity under the group 3 (how fortunate I’m)

Sighed…..I prefer home-based life (not the social butterfly) because all the fun could be found in home. (I’m happy, contended and ease when staying in home). My room offer private place for reflection, peace and privacy for me. In other words, I’m introvert. The chances of spending too much time with large group of people will drain my energy and make me feeling overwhelmed. I don’t want to be like Li Yune and Tian Ning and probably Chen Xin and De Fa seldom be at home apart from sleeping and laundry.

The appreciation words that must mention before eating: thank Grace morality, thanks to Zhao Jun, thanks to farmers, thanks to the chef, thanks to the Master Gao and various officers, thank to the person-in-charge, love them is finish all the food (谢餐词：感谢天恩师德，感谢炤君，感谢农夫，感谢厨师，营主任请慢用，各位讲师请慢用，各位办事人员请多用，爱就是把饭菜吃光光)

Back to topic, I reach Chang De new building finally and rushed to register myself once I finished my dinner. Argh……all the group members are unknown T________T. Socially uncomfortable and anti-social spirit but still have to proceed my participation. On 7pm, we start to sing the theme song, BFF (Best Friend Forever) followed by emergence of emcee from Kuching’s youths and ice-breaking session. In the ice-breaking session, we get to know each other about the names and creating the group slogan.

BFF as the theme song. This song reminds me the shopping journey in Gurney Plaza, Penang. I used to meet these 2 singers in there.

The main organizer from Kuching

Can't recall the names of this group :(

Guo Quan (main group facilitator) and Qi Qiang (assistant of the group facilitator)

Wei Jie 's group (the handsome guy in the purple colour T-shirt). Super bad!! Wei Jie did not involve in the 2nd and 3rd day of fraternity. He is busy with his household chores according to Qi Qiang

My group, namely unite group 

Unite group's slogan:

Unite is a virtue 团结是美德

Unite is a strength 团结是力量

Hence, we have to unite 所以我们要团结

All the adolescents from different areas are using the same color T-shirt to show their unity except Miri. Master Gao grabs the opportunity to give the verbal warning. As part of the Miri youths members, it's really embarrassed in front of other youths from other areas. Thinking from positive side, he wants the Miri adolescents aware the importance of wearing the same T-shirt and directly influence the image and reputation of the Miri youth members.

2nd Day

It is started on 6.30am and we have the morning aerobic. However, the sound problem of the video affect the  

flow of the morning aerobics. I really couldn't follow the fast pace of morning aerobic. 

Cereal bread with mashed potatoes and carrots

I'm able to have 1 double slice of bread with Milo

Group facilitator instructs us to walk across main entrance (as per requested by the "Avenue of Stars" game" with pulling out gun actions)

Kept on changing the ideas that had brainstormed

On 9.10am, it is having a speech about the “lifetime planning” by Master Gao. Honestly, I was quite enjoy and satisfied with the lifetime planning speech. However, I totally disagree with certain statements that he states. The statements are “the man should be the breadwinner in a family while the women should be the homemaker household” “the man characterized as strong character while the women must submissive and well-behaved”

It’s the 21 century. Women staying in home are not necessarily help in financial especially for those lower and middle income families. Financial problem will be the potent source for marital unhappiness and conflict ready-to be. I even can imagine no smile, no laughter, no enjoy among the home mother.  There will be a lot of drawbacks of being stay at home mother such as narrow world, outdated life and so on. Submissive character is not belong to me. I’m the strong character lady, rebellious. Maybe in one day I will tame by my Mr Right. Hehe He is the only guy in the world that able to control me, and I’m able to use my soft character in front of him, for every strong lady, whenever she fell in love she will just able to summit to her love ones.

After lunch, we practice the cute sign language "Gwiyomi"

Honestly, I feel disgusted when need to act cute (like the actions of "Gwiyomi"). I absolutely not act cute in real life

Arranging the chairs in one line when the requirements of the game is create a line by using the items that we have. My group members misunderstanding the concept, it's the items that we have in our body. 

We are punished by hanging all the chairs, plastic bags, brooms in our body 

Guess, look like what?

The emcee said we are seem opening a cleaning company

For me, this group is selling the mattress for prayer

Comedy drama show " Selling Ointment"

Kampung girl look

Success to attract me since its play around the Hokkien VS Mandarin language. The story line of this comedy show is translating the Mandarin into Hokkien and the misunderstanding definitely will make me burst into laughter 

Talent show of each group. My group is in charge for fashion show.

Li Wen is having her Sportsware

Appreciation time. Have to say thank you to Mr Lee Zhun Ren （李俊仁）, next to Master Gao since he donates the piece of land to the temple. Without him, there wouldn't have any new building temple

lighting ceremony with light bar. After that, the emcee announce that we have to arrange the word of “Mu"

3rd Day

Since I need to work on Saturday, therefore I did not participate in the morning games. It's the reviewing and reflection time about this event and upcoming event. 

She is crying when she reflects the hard work and contribution of those adolescents for this event.I discovered that someone is laughing at her while someone feel disgusted towards her. I just remain neutral because I have no issue about the whole story and truths of this event. 

The reflection and reviewing session Touches the deepest desire of her

The events is officially end on the night but I forget to request the photos from Hong Hui (one of the adolescent in Bintulu Ming De). As a group members of the unite group, I feel nothing when we get the champion for this event. No unite at all in my heart towards the group. Pardon me, I have the negative comments towards the group facilitator. He did not carry out the roles as a facilitator based on following characteristics: First of all, he is brainstorming the ideas that cannot help to achieve the objectives of certain activities. Not only that, he did not promote new discussion when the group members are interacting poorly or in the wrong direction. Furthermore, he did not ensure all contributions to the discussion are treated equally. In addition, he is not try to bring out information from introvert members of the group and allow the

new generation of idea. 

Honestly, from 3 days events the part that I enjoy most is the lecture giving by Master Gao. It's the contents that make me understand, not boring and monotonous at all.  It's a good learning experience. My characteristics and personality make me not highly involve with the games and activities in the fraternity. However, listening to the lecture is the high challenges sometimes because it need great deal of focus and absorb. It was a great pleasure and honor being part of this programme.

The most important that I obtained from this fraternity is make a friend with Han Fei. Thank to her, the existence kept the boredom away when dealing the bunch of strangers.
