USM Pimpin Siswa Camp

14.10.2011,
I went for a camp which is compulsory for our Uni first-year student..

Location of our camp : CAK!

Before going there I heard a lot of scary story told by seniors, like how the facilitators are going to 'torture' us, the leeches, and many more horrible story that u usually heard from a camp.

I was like ''Can I not go? I don't want to go to the camp!''

But the time comes, and I still have to join the camp..


However,
Despite the lack of sleep and constant sleepiness haunting me, the camp turn to be totally different from my imagination. In fact, I tried to enjoy the camp, and it happens that I really enjoy the camp!

During the camp, I had done quite a lot of 'first-time' thing in my life!

The hanging bridge before reaching our camping site!

Around the camp site..

For the first time, I jungle-trekking (or should I say hill-climbing) at the crack of the dawn. Thank God I didn't encounter any difficulties like falling down during the activity. Yuhuu! This activity really test our stamina and alertness as we were doing it at night, only with the help of the moonlight. (Luckily it was a full moon that night!) Plus, we were lacking of sleep as they woke us up before we can actually get enough sleep! (In fact, I think I didn't sleep at all that night, which was my another 'first time thing' =.='' ) The surrounding was so dark that I can barely see the people in front of me. We were using codes to communicate with each other- I mean we were using numbers to call each other..& the facilitators told us that, if we heard anyone calling our names, don't respond, coz that was not our member~~~ They warned us that if anything happens to us, they will only come and find us the next morning~~ U get what I mean? That's Scary! But, luckily nothing bad happens.. :D

Another 1st time thing~
I CAUGHT A CHICKEN!! (Before this I was so afraid of alive chicken.. haha)
I say chicken coz I didn't know it was a hen or a rooster! xp

Why it's me that caught the chicken?
Because the facilitators insisted that the one who were going to catch the chicken for our respective group must be a Chinese girl and the one who were going to slaughter the chicken must be a Muslim boy. In our group, there were only two of us who were Chinese girl. My other friend said that she was a Buddhist and she didn't want to catch the chicken and send it to 'death'. So, in the end, I was the one who had to do it. It's ok for me anyway..

I still remember how heavy the chicken was and how the chicken was flapping its wings when I caught it..Pity the chicken.. We were going to kill u and cook u for our lunch! *evil laugh*

That evening, we had station game and crossing the river activity (which I really like!) After walking a certain distance in the quite strong current, we formed a ring, holding each other and floated ourselves to the starting point! Really enjoy the moment.. :D

That last night, another first time thing~~
Each group was required to make a performance for the performance night.. Our group could not agree on which performance to make as the time given for preparation was so short, so in the end, we end up performing a 'spontaneous drama'..
It was a drama where the two of our group members narrating a story, and the rest of us act for the drama spontaneously on the stage, without any rehearsal. & worst of that, the actor was selected at random. It was like, when the narrators tell the story, they will point whoever to go up the stage and do the things they narrated. It was so funny that I laughed so much at the backstage. Lol! In the end, I became the counterpart of a hit-and-run driver.. hahahah..

Other than that, the camp was fun with many other interesting games and boring as well when it comes to the time for talks and group discussion activities..I do make some (not really much) new friends from this camp..

Friends..

In overall, I still enjoy this camp... :D
