Pesta 2010 - Penang

Just came back from Pesta 2010 - Penang. This was the 2nd Pesta I've attended so far and I really like it a lot, especially the foods there..i mean not the food they provide in the canteen but the local food around Penang. Well, here's what we did for the past 6 days. =) We arrived at Penang a day earlier at about 3pm and we quickly settle down and went for a last band practice at the nearby stadium. There was nothing to do on that day so we just spent the time sitting around and chatting. The main events on the first day was the National Drill Competition and the Band Competition. We did not took part in drill but we did enter the band competition. As the day was very hot and we have to save our energies for the night, we didn't watch most of the drill competition. In the evening, we all changed into our uniforms and went to the stadium. After the opening ceremony, it was band competition. We were the first team to compete and i seriously think that we did a great job that night. =) Athough we just got 4th placing but that was not bad for first-timers. At least not last la. Haha.. ><

4th KL!!

On the second day, we all woke up early and had our breakfast. We were then separated into different platoons. After some ice-breaking we had our lunch and then we gathered back into our platoons. There was suppose to be a inter-platoon telematch but because it was raining that time, it was forced to be called off. What to do? Sleep lo.. That night, we all went to watch the Singing & Dancing competition too. The next day, we had our morning service in a nearby hall and then went for our lunch. We then met back in our platoons for Treasure Hunt in the afternoon. It was a hot and sunny day and we had to walk along the town to find our clues, it was very tiring and I didn't really enjoyed it though. But our energies were quickly replenish at night as there was a Fun Fair. there were so many games to play..from push up competition to even PS2 games. I did won some coupons for my platoon but the fact is that I lost more than what I've won. Haha..xD

On the fourth day, we were given the opportunity to explore Penang ourselves. There were 5 different places to explore and I'm on my way to UNESCO..central of Penang. We went in groups and I'm glad to have followed a group of members who were friendly and likes to crap around.

Some fishing village and believe it or not, this was the place where some part of the movie 'Ice Kacang Puppy Love' was shot.

Starbucks. Yay!

Some kinda food which they recommended. It was nice btw.. =) That night, all the pesta members marched along Penang in our uniforms and it really shock the ppl around the area. Maybe they haven't seen BB before and there was about 1700 members marching and also bands performing. we marched to Komtar Dome for closing ceremony and after that we went back to our campsite. On the last day, we packed all our stuffs early in the morning but have to wait till around 3pm before our bus arrived. we went out for brunch and just lepak around the campsite. Our bus finally arrived and we took a cold journey back to KL. That was the end of Pesta 2010 and I'm already missing it now. Well, next Pesta will be in JB..till then. =)
