It has been planned for weeks, that we gonna do our social responsibility project on cleaning a cemetery, but back then it was uncertain, not until Arif told us abt one in Batu Marang. Since then we have to make an appointment where every members in 743 & Camaraderies are available to join, and it was nicely done yesterday!! HAHA
K, lemme tell it to u from the beggining.. there was a last minute complications that some of us.. and frankly all rooted from me.. that causes us to arrived in Batu Marang quite late, while 2 Tutors are waiting for us there. I really apologize for that, n i know.. as a GM there's no excuse for any mistakes.
Anyhow, i packed some extra outfits, and zoom to my school, there i loaded all the stuffs that we need to bring to the cemetery, such as tools, drinks and foods to the car, then we all convoyed to Batu Marang lead by me.. hehe.
As we reached there, we were on foot to Arif's grandparent's house, there we had some light breakfast and afterthat we move on to the cemetery by 2 boat trips. (BTW djah scared & cried :P) HAHA
As we reached there, we recite Tahlil under a provided hut, coz the surrounding areas on the cemetery was full of tall grasses. After that we move on with our main objective, which is "menyiangi kubur". i tell you.. with such a large piece of land which full of tall grasses and no lawnmower around (s that means we used "Parang" instead) it's a huge task to be handled.. thank god it was 2 groups project and some more volunteers such as Milla, Sheila, Krol, Sham & Wali joined in, as well as some of the local villagers. (Thanx Guys)
We were there for hours slashing our "Parang"s around while the girls and some other guys are sweeping those chopped grasses to be burnt. Frankly, i think it was fun.. and for the 1st time the companies (Camaderie & 743 Masterpiece) are working together for reaching our goal, cleaning the cemetery rather than compete against each other to earn more profit. It is very satisfying for both our groups and also for the villagers themselves.. it's a Win-Win situation.
As soon as we done with all that, we went back to Kg. Batu Marang and had some rest and as for me to get my extra pack of ciggies in the car. Then we hop in to the boat again, as Arif wanted to give us tour of the village on boat, damn.. it was fun..
As things settled, we go straight to our homes and have a good rest.. well we do need it.. it was tiring... but with it also, we are able to sleep with a smile thinking of the unselfish things that we just did..
BTW 743 Masterpiece, Camaraderies, Aura & Faizun gonna have another Social Responsibility Project by this coming Sunday, i hope it will be as good and as fulfilling as this one...
