Before BMK8
Before joining BMK8, a lot of questions playing in my mind, should I registered? Can i cope well? will it be a waste of time? can i "survive" for two weeks without internet? without Facebook? no video games... There is o lot of distractions and emotion comes in... when i almost give up and decline to join BMK8, i took time to pray and meditate for a while and God's soft promting voice wsphered to me "Alvin git it a try, you will love it, you never know what awaits you, you'll be amazed".
During BMK8
5th February, the long awaited day I found myself in Rumah Retreat Keuskupan Keningau Tatal (RRKKT). The sweet scent of flower fill my nose, a new journey is started. a journey that will lead me to my self-discovering and renewing of my tattered faith.
Every moment i spend here improved my faith greatly, i finally had the chance to do a routine that i eager to do, daily mass and praying before the Blessed Sacrament. i start to rediscover the joy of praying, learn to live community life.
Through the lesson and inputs given i finally learn alittle about our church history, the history and development of the Catholic Church in Sabah, The challenge of Islamization, the schoking truth about the political, economy and social situation in Sabah, the danger of mass media.
There are lot of fun, happy and sad memory in BMK8. I learn the feeling of happiness through team work and also the sad side of team work, the challenges especially when disagreement comes in. I learn a lot from this experience.
