Spirituality and Smokes

I'm just so excited right now!

I managed to secure a RM1000 sponsorship for my youth
camp, RM300 more than required! Before this, I had to
trim A LOT of corners in my budget, but right now I
can afford to splurge a little bit!

That generous sponsorship came from Mr. Indiran, the
owner of Eastern Tea Corner (also known as "AK" among
students). It is the largest mamak corner in Nilai,
and definitely the most successful. After all, they
charge very steep prices for their food and drinks.
However, a lot of their earnings are channeled back to
club events such as ours. It is therefore no surprise
that most of our college activities are sponsored by
them.

What IS a surprise though, is how Mr. Indiran is
spiritual himself. As he puffed on his cigarette, he
impressed me with his knowledge on Hinduism and
meditation. He talked on how values were declining
among youth and how he supports religious groups. That
could be a major reason why we managed to secure such
a large sum of money.

A major weight has been taken off me, and the only
things I have to worry about are internal problems and
getting the participants themselves.

Whew!
