heys all,
Guess who's back, me! haha. Now that school is here, the blog will be a slow process but don't worry, it won't fizzle out so fast.
Before leaving to the campsite, our school Principle said the form 6's doesn't have kerjasama just because our "baju tak sama"..huh? She believes in 'unity is uniformity'...
In my heart I got even more afraid..."soon the next thing, she might say is I must wear tudung so that all uniform or not it show i don't have unity"...I disagree with 'uniformity is unity'...in a way, she is implying...Malaysia for Malays only.
Anyway, I believe in "unity in diversity"...Then only can masyarakat majmuk ma...
the BTN camp:
only my school..the upper 6 students and 3 lower 6 students. Amazingly Pui Yee came. 35 students in all. The camp was "Kursus Bina Negara Asas" by the "Biro Tatanegara, Jabatan Perdana Menteri"
at "Kem Rekreasi Intan Suraya, Sg Siput(U), Perak"...somewhat like a Leadership camp la.
The BTN camp was ok la...I went with a unwilling heart n came back with a "ok ok la" heart.
There I got to know that these classmates of mine are actually quite caring and Malays like hot or spicy food...everyday their food got chili! curry and durian...make the body hot also..haha..drinks all super sweet..can get diabetes I tell you!
Every activity had a purpose...that was a cool concept.
The place was quite forest-ty la, many trees and durian tress.When we reached the road.It was a dead end and then we had to change bus..old small "mini bus". That mini bus brought us about 1 km inside the "forest" where we saw the campsite...as we were in the mini bus, some was singing, then a form mate said "Jangan seronok sangat"...i ask her why, she said cause we are entering tempat "ORANG" (and she didn't mean humans)...later on during the camp, we had an activity...again i heard a similar remark by another form mate saying "Jangan gembira sangat, jangan takut sangat, jangan berani sangat"...what a strange concept...cannot enjoy camp, cannot be too happy, cannot show real feelings...2 person saw or heard these "ORANG" once during the camp...
The weather there was quite cool la...cold in the morning, cold in the evening and night, afternoon was not that hot..must be the greens and trees.
The camp was quite packed...sleeping time is 12am(the earliest) and the latest sleeping time was 2am... the time to wake up was 5.30am...not enough sleep duh...everyone had panda eyes and many were falling sick with flu, including me.
One of the activity was "berakit" somewhat like kayak la...8 tubes tied together with rafia and PVC pole-like thing and wood(papan)...and we got dayungs la...from our campsite Kem Rekreasi Intan Suraya, Sg Siput(U), Perak to Jabatan Perairan dan Saliran Kuala Kangsar. More than 10 km la...my team was funny, we cannot work together so the rakit was not really moving lah. it was a 5 hour program, but our team took like 6 hours which also included the boat towing our rakit cause we were jauh ketinggalan the pack..haha...There was 1 part, no matter how much we berdayung, we were not moving..hahaha.
berdayung for so many hours...shoulders pain, sit on the papan...butt pain. arms and feet is sunburnt...pain la...feel like we were human BBQ-ed under the scorching sun...d base of my foot's skin peeled...my group mate got blister-like wounds because she didn't keep wetting the tube n the tube was burning hot..so melecur la. The sunburn part is warm but the not sunburn part was cold..so our body got 2 different temperatures.. my arm got 2 diff colors n 2 diff temperature..LOL. The sunburn areas feels like we're burning...argh...
I learnt much and experienced many things...If I could blog during the camp, you would understand la...then you would read 4 long posts...I'm kinda afraid this is quite long already. don't worry will post a bit more about camp in future posts...
My dear brother Prince got baptized yesterday night at Life Chapel, 8pm. 14th June 2009
