Program Kepimpinan Tun Razak (PKTR) 08' - A Life Defining Moment

First and foremost, i'm sorry for the long silence. Have been pretty busy with things to be done and lotsa other errands as well. I won't elaborate much on that. Well, i just came back from a leadership programme held in KL and Negeri Sembilan . It was no other than Program Kepimpinan Tun Razak 2008, otherwise also known as PKTR 08' =) There were 48 of us from all corners of Malaysia! I have to admit, i was a lil' skeptical about the camp in the beginning. But as time flew , passing us with swiftness that we didn't even notice in our busi-ness, i have a confession to make. It IS the best programme i have ever attended and i daresay there will be no other programme better than it in most senses.

Well, i'm not going to say much about the activities and the things the participants went through because most of the bloggers from the camp has already done so =P Plus, we can't really reveal much because we'd be releasing spoilers for the future selected participants! xD I would like to quote what Abang Ayaz said, 'We, the facilitators will just help and assist if needed along the programme. This is YOUR programme, you do what you want with it, and how much u get from this camp, whether or not it will be something really significant is entirely up to all of you. The facilitators are just 'pemudah cara' (s)'

The programme was about 16 days and every single day, i'd say i learnt so many new things throughout the whole thing. Let's just say some perspective changes, and some just get justified, and we all become stronger in a sense =) The most significant thing to me in the programme is that i met so many great and interesting people and , by using 'interesting' i really mean it. It's like i never knew there were so much that we could actually learn from others and how much others can learn as well from us. It was just fantastic being there in the group. The togetherness, everything about it was simply undescribable really. We were not just mere participants in PKTR , we ARE PKTR =) and yes, now , we're in AYTR as well xD [Alumni Yayasan Tun Razak] 

I would say i was really satisfied at the end of the programme. Yeah, there were tears and everything when we had to all part and go out separate ways. Still, the bond between us remain strong and i have faith in each and every one of you that we'd be united for a very very long time to come ;D Thing is, everytime i think about the memoirs we all shared back in PKTR 08' , i sorta switch to emo mode and yeah, it feels horrid. and not to mention, ROTTEN! but still, i'll never regret a single thing i did in the camp. But ofcourse, turning back time would be a very tempting option for me to reminisce into the past again, experiencing it all over again. I don't mind, not at all. Why would i rite? xD haha..i wouldn't mind if it went on forever =P haha..now, that shows how the post-PKTR syndrome has affected me =S

Oh well, now moving on to messages and dedications, to all 2008 PKTR-ians! We must have a gathering soon aite? People are dying already after the camp xD haha..To the facilitators, u don't know how much each and everyone of you have inspired me =) Abang Ayaz, Abang Sumi, Abang Tengku , Kak Nicol , Kak Sharon , Kak Wei Zhen , Abang Farith , Kak Lee Vee , Kak Sarah , Abang Khairul , Kak Ainul , Eugene and so many of the others i didn't mention, all of you helped in making PKTR 2008 a success =D

Lee Julin, Jaramier Cobrado Joibi , Jasmine , Alicia , Ryner , Nisshan , Ding Lik Suong , Jocinda Wong , Gary Ngai , Tan Yuet Yang , Hanif , Darren , Sin Toun , Bosco , Tarsha , Asha , Candy , Tracey , Baihaqi , Fatin , Adila , Panier , Danny , Yashini , the list goes on and on [everyone in PKTR 08] =) Just so you know, all of you made a difference in my life =) 

I'll end this post with the lyrics of 2 songs that we performed on the closing ceremony night at Royale Bintang =) First thing's first, our very own PKTR 2008 'modified song' :

Our version at PKTR...
At The Beginning

We were strangers starting out on a journey,
Never dreaming what we have to go through,
Now here we are, and i'm suddenly standing,
At the beginning with you.

Ku tak tahu apa yang ku lalui,
Tak tersangka hubungan bersama,
Kini ku girang, dengan impian nyata,
Sinila mulanya.

And life is a road that i wanna keep going,
Love is a river a wanna keep flowing,
Life is a road now and forever,
Wonderful journey.
I'll be there when the world stops turning,
I'll be there when the storm is through,
In the end i wanna be standing,
At the beginning with you.

Orang asing dalam pengembaraan,
Tak tersangka impian digapai,
Kini ku berdiri, melangkah ke hadapan,
Sinilah mulanya.

And life is a road that i wanna keep going,
Love is a river a wanna keep flowing,
Life is a road now and forever,
Wonderful journey.
I'll be there when the world stops turning,
I'll be there when the storm is through,
In the end i wanna be standing,
At the beginning with you.


And then, our very own PKTR 2008 theme song which we composed from a scratch =) :

Wadah Kepimpinan

Tangan menggengam perpaduan,
Hati beritikad penyatuan ,
Kaki melangkaui kemajuan ,
Itulah amalan berkepimpinan .

Benih Kepimpinan disemaikan ,
Kamilah pemimpin masa depan ,
Menggapai wawasan ,
Penjana pembangunan ,
Pemacu kegemilangan .

PKTR ,
Wadah perdana bina kepimpinan ,
Mara melangkah hadapan ,
Menyingkap 'Satu Malaysia' impian bersama ,
Kamilah wacana pembangunan!

Benih Kepimpinan disemaikan ,
Kamilah pemimpin masa depan ,
Menggapai wawasan ,
Penjana pembangunan ,
Pemacu kegemilangan .

PKTR ,
Wadah perdana bina kepimpinan ,
Mara melangkah hadapan ,
Menyingkap 'Satu Malaysia' impian bersama ,
Kamilah wacana pembangunan!

Guess that's all for now =) Pictures coming soon xD take care and regards to all PKTR-ians =) missing all of you loads!! ;D

Technically your title should read 'A Life Defining Camp' cause there were SO MANY moments at PKTR!

Sorry lah. I tak tahan wrong vocab or grammar. XD

We're glad we could play a part in helping you guys gain as much as you could from the camp. Keep your bonds. :)
