Once a year, all the leaders of PYP will get away to a secret meeting at a secret place. This year, we snuck a full 30 people into two apartments in the heart of KL to have one and a half day of praying and planning and... EATING.

Okay, actually the eating part comes last. But on the last day, us leaders will have some nice makan together. You know, the kind of, fellowship over food kind of thing? Here's a video report capturing this very event as it happens.

First, we stroll down Jalan Bukit Bintang towards our headed destination - Jalan Alor:

 

It took quite a while for the leaders to decide what food to have. For some reason, deciding where to eat seems to be the most difficult task. But then, once again, superwoman Wai Yee comes to the rescue. This Penang girl seems to know the makan places of KL even better than us KL folk.

So we settled at a shop:

 

And placed our orders. The shop was your tradiitonal fare, but it seems everyone was going for the pork noodles. This is the noodle where you have swine intestines and gizzards and such being made into soup to go with the noodles.

 

Drinks came first and we were having a bit of a banter. These guitar guys came up and started playing and singing a song. They were pretty good singers - talent scouts should really come down to Jalan Alor. That's where all the singing talent is in Malaysia! Of course, I didn't dare to record them for fear of getting my camera snatched and thrown down. You know how these stars are these days.

 

After much waiting, we finally received our food. It was fantastically delicious. Nyam Nyam.

So, members, what do you learn? The lesson is that you've got to work hard, serve hard so that one day you can become a committee member and go for leader's retreat too. And have nice food. Remember, that's the goal!

Happy serving!
