Masa telah pun beredar
Detik usaha dikenang
Ku tetap akan bertekad
Untuk kecapi kejayaan
Kami hadapi apa saja
Segala rintangan diharungi
Tidak kira bila masanya
Ke kan pegang pada keazaman hidup
Sentiasa...
Chorus:
Ku Tempuhi Segala Cabaran
Dengan keyakinan di sanubariku
Bagai menggenggam bara api
Sanggup berkorban Di mana jua
Hingga menjejak kegemilangan
Pada permulaan perjalanan
Bagai hanyut dilautan sepi
Tetap merentasi halangan
Itulah semangat daku pada bila-bila masa
Members of the Leo Clubs of St Michael's Institution & Ipoh Metro (O), spent the last few days of 2008 together.. lepaking and gate crashing at parties and events held in celebration of the new year's! They started out by going to Sunway Lagoon in Bandar Sunway, PJ... Obviously that's bigger than the one in Tambun, Ipoh! Loads of fun & activities that included the wet & dry park! The fellowship that bonded was certainly a great experience for each and everyone of them!
