Episode 4 (End): The 40th Chung Ling World Carnival

Episode 4 ...

The last day started early in the morning around 5am. Some of the girls followed one of the Sabah senior to arrange for the participants. Some went to UMS to fetch more helpers. Some just woke up and prepared themselves. Then our morning destination was the Gaya Street Tamu. We accompanied the participants to do shopping at the Gaya Street. Around 10am, all of us became the “broom” to “sweep” all the participants to the gathering point: Sabah Tourism Board. At there, they are being arranged to different groups. There were group going to Island, there were group going to meeting, there were group going rehearsal and there were some of them were not in any group as they want to spend their time on their own. As all of them gathered at the gathering point, we also at there to helped out. Even two of us, who were Pei Zhi and Hong Jie were being arranged to lead a group of people to island. Really proud of them as they managed to handle and cope with the last minute arrangement without any hestitation. They came back safely together with all the participants. Then after different groups went to different place, we gathered at the end of the Gaya Street. They went to hotel to have rest.



Me and Lip Fong however did not went back as we have a new task, to have a second time UMS tour for a just arriving group. We were waiting at the Gaya Street without knowing how long we need to wait. At last I call the senior and asked. Then they ask us to wait at AirAsia Airport. “ What go to airport now!? How we go !? We waited so long then you say so!?” I screamed in my mind. However, the senior asked me to take taxi and claim it later. So we really took a taxi. Then we reached the airport and together with the senior, we waited for the Penang group to arrive. Lip Fong and me each in different buses to lead the Penang seniors with a real tour guide. Having lunch, UMS tour and check in at the hotel all being done in a few hour before the closing ceremony.
Together with the Penang group, we reach the Putra Ballroom which near to the Kampung Nelayan. All the seniors were wearing smart and their wives were wearing beautifully. We were the usher for the participants.








The ending of the Carnival was not the end of our job as we still need to arrange buses for the participant to go back to hotel. Then we need to arrange ourselves to go back to.
The 40th World Chung Ling Carnival ended at the Sunday night. We the UMS Chung Ling students and the Sabah Chung Ling seniors were tired but as the Carnival was a success and the Chung Ling people all over the world that came for the Carnival were happy in certain of level. Thanks a lot to everyone that spent their weekend to make the Carnival a success. Those that helped out, I believe they do enjoy and having fun. As part of the committee of the Carnival, I am certain in future, I will and I must be in some other place joining the World Chung Ling Carnival. Proud to be a Chung Ling guy!
