Trip To SMK Bekenu

"If all economists were laid end to end, they would not reach a conclusion." - George Bernard Shaw

What's Up?

Again, today is my second time of this year waking up at 6am...ahaha! It's because I'm following the Human Life Service to SMK Bekenu to give a few talks. We are going to give talks to the form 2 students in that school. Our team consisted of 6 people which were Dorothy, Albert, Callistus, Edward, Marvin and me. Haha...Marvin and I were just helping as volunteer since we got nothing to do.

Our journey begins! Took us about 40 minutes I think...to reach there.

When we reached the place, after we got down from the van, I can feel the fresh air and the environment is just different than Miri. It's a very nice place I would say, the school is surrounded by forest all around. Yeah, the school is very big but the number of students is very small. I think the size of the school is 4 times bigger than my secondary school (SMK St. Columba) but they only have about 600 students. LOL...it's very empty and not even half of the school is being used. So many empty classrooms around...

Main Entrance

School compound. Emptiness...

Silence...

Backyard. Nice eh...

Unused classrooms...LOL!

There were about 120 form 2 students attending the talk. The school counselor, Miss Yip was the teacher in charge of the whole thing. The talks were great, they were talking about 'Love and Life', 'Friendship' and some others which I could not remember the titles. The students did gave a good respond, which is actually a good thing, so at least they're having fun and not bored. Ahaha! I also learnt a few things, so yeah...its a great experience for me too.

The students...

Going home...

As for lunch, we had it in Miss Yip's office. The food was so-so, cooked by the school canteen. Ah well, thank God there is still food for us. School was over by then, LOL...all I could say the school was complete silence and empty. Only some teachers stayed back to finish their work. After lunch, Miss Yip brought us to the beach, Pantai Bungai. It was a few minutes ride from the school. Oh man...it's beautiful! I would come here with my friends next time, we can picnic, BBQ and even stay over there. It would be a wonderful outdoor activity.

Lets Go!

God's wonderful creation!

Another one!

Rejoice!

We'll come back...someday, but don't know when.

Actually we planned to drive to Bekenu town to try their prawn noodles but somehow we got to go back to Miri because of some problem. At first, we were so excited to try the prawn noodle but it just didn't happen. Sad... We'll drive there someday to try it! We reach Miri around 4pm. Marvin and I went to SMK St. Joseph because his dad was there and I got to follow them back. Before sending me home, we went for cendol. Yummy! Then...back home!
